The UK has officially caught pickle fever, and KFC is leaning in with a nationwide takeover. From 23rd March to 19th April 2026, KFC restaurants are putting pickles front and centre with a limited-time Pickle Mania menu, featuring four pickle-packed creations designed to delight fans of tangy, crunchy flavours.
Meet the Pickle Burger – Pickles Take the Spotlight
Leading the takeover is the all-new Pickle Burger, a bold combination of KFC’s iconic Original Recipe fillet, coated in the Colonel’s legendary 11 herbs and spices, now spiced up with a special pickle seasoning. The burger is stacked with tangy sliced gherkins, creamy Pickle Ranch sauce, and crispy pickle chips, all nestled in a glazed sesame bun.
For those who like to share their pickle love, KFC is also introducing Frickles (fried pickles) for dunking and snacking, alongside Pickle Loaded Fries for a tangy twist on a classic favourite.

James Channon, Brand Manager for KFC UK & Ireland, said:
“For too long now, pickles have been treated as a supporting character. We thought it was time they had their moment. Pickle Mania is KFC going all‑in and letting pickles take centre stage as the hero they were always meant to be.”
