Make the portion your starting point
This guide brings together selected portions with 500 calories or fewer. The threshold includes exactly 500 calories. Some are individual mains; others are starters or dishes that might form part of a shared order.
A small starter and a main course serve different purposes. Decide what kind of order you want first, then check the calories for that portion and the extras you plan to add.
The shortlist
Six 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.

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.

Before you order
Build the whole order
Add sides, sauces, extra toppings and drinks to the listed main. A burger-only figure does not describe a burger-and-chips order.
Give starters and sharing dishes their own comparison
A starter is a smaller course. For a shared dish, the published figure may cover the whole dish, so check the serving basis and how much you expect to eat.
Leave room for changes
Recipes and portions can change between menu updates. Check the restaurant’s current information, and ask about ingredients or allergens when ordering.
Sources & how we chose these dishes
Selections were reviewed against Menuu’s dated source records on 18 September 2026. Each listed portion contains 500 calories or fewer in the source record. Mains, smaller dishes and sharing portions are labelled separately. This is a small editorial selection, not a ranking of every UK restaurant or a live menu check.
