Start with the portion on your plate
A high protein figure only tells part of the story. A whole pizza, a sharing platter and a single burger can all look impressive on paper, but they are different amounts of food. The useful comparison starts with what you will actually order.
For this guide, we selected individual main dishes with at least 25g of recorded protein per portion. The aim is to give you a few concrete orders to compare, with calories alongside protein and a clear note on what is included.
The shortlist
Three portions to compare
Individual mains
For a burger order: BBQ Chicken
The grilled BBQ Chicken burger is a useful starting point if you already know you want a burger. Its protein figure belongs to the burger itself, so you can compare that portion before deciding on the rest of your order.

- Carbs

- Fat

Grilled burger only; side and drink excluded
Ordering note. Treat the side as a separate decision. Add the calories and macros for your chips, coleslaw or salad, then include your drink.

For a noodle bowl: grilled chicken ramen
This ramen gives you a different kind of main to compare with the burgers: one listed bowl, rather than a burger portion that excludes a side. Use the bowl’s recorded nutrition as your starting point when building the rest of your order.

One listed grilled chicken ramen bowl
Ordering note. Gyoza, extra toppings and drinks add to the bowl’s total. Check the current menu if the recipe or portion has changed.

For another grilled option: Pesto
The grilled Pesto burger is an alternative to compare at Honest Burgers. It has a different calorie and macro profile from the BBQ Chicken, so choosing between them is about the whole order as well as the protein figure.

Grilled burger only; side and drink excluded
Ordering note. The recorded portion is the burger only. Use the same side and drink assumptions when comparing it with the BBQ Chicken.

Before you order
Count the extras you actually choose
The burger figures exclude sides and drinks; the ramen figure covers one listed bowl. Add extras separately so the comparison reflects your order.
Keep sharing plates in perspective
These picks are individual mains. A snack or sharing platter needs its own portion comparison; a larger total does not tell you how much one person will eat.
Check the menu when you visit
Recipes and portions can change. Missing nutrition is not zero, and swapping or removing an ingredient changes the listed meal. Ask the restaurant about ingredients and allergens.
Sources & how we chose these dishes
Selections were reviewed against Menuu’s dated source records on 18 September 2026. Each is an individual main with at least 25g of recorded protein per listed serving. This is a small editorial selection, not a ranking of every UK restaurant or a live menu check.
Check the restaurant’s current menu for recipe, portion and availability changes. Published nutrition does not establish allergy suitability; confirm ingredients and cross-contact with staff.
