KFC UK Unveils Gravy-Centered Holiday Menu

KFC UK & Ireland has released its 2026 Christmas menu, headlined by the return of the Gravymas Burger, a dish that follows a five year hiatus for the original Gravy Burger. The chain announced the full lineup on Tuesday, detailing new items that center on gravy and sage and onion flavors. The festive food will be available in stores for six weeks, running from November 9 through January 3, subject to stock availability.

The Gravymas Burger costs £7.99 and features a crispy Original Recipe Fillet stacked with a hash brown, melted cheese, and sage and onion seasoning. The item is served in a sesame-topped bun spread with gravy mayo. The burger includes a standard pot of warm gravy for customers to use as a dip or drizzle. Those seeking a larger meal can order the Gravymas Box Meal, which starts at £11.99. This bundle includes the burger, regular gravy, regular fries, an Original Recipe Tender, and a standard drink.

The menu introduces Festive Loaded Fries at £3.99, which combine the chain's standard fries with Popcorn Chicken, gravy mayo, and sage and onion seasoning. A Fully Festive Meal option costs £13.49 and pairs the Gravymas Burger with the loaded fries and a Kwench shake. For groups, KFC offers Festive Buckets. The Festive Double Bucket starts at £20.99, while the Festive Triple Bucket starts at £24.99. Both bucket options include four regular portions of fries, two large sides, and a large drink.

The Double Bucket is available in three specific combinations: six pieces of Original Recipe Chicken and six Tenders, six pieces of Original Recipe Chicken and eight Hot Wings, or six Tenders and six Tenders. The Triple Bucket combines all three of those options into a single package. The chain also confirmed that the Mega Mozza Sticks will remain on the menu for the duration of the Christmas season.

Reactions to the announcement have been mixed online, with a common theme being the lack of a stuffing patty. Last Christmas, KFC sold the Stuffing Tower Burger and the Stuffing Stacker Burger, both of which included sage and onion stuffing. The Stuffing Tower contained an Original Recipe chicken fillet, cranberry sauce, and cheese in a brioche bun. The Stacker featured two Original Recipe fillets, a stuffing patty, cranberry sauce, and cheese in a brioche bun.

Users on Instagram and Facebook expressed disappointment over the missing items. One Instagram user, @gordon_n7, stated that the previous item with sage and onion stuffing and cranberry sauce was better. Another user, @coreysean_, simply said they wanted the stuffing burger. On Facebook, Tom Gittings mentioned he was hoping for the return of the stuffing burger and Stuffing Stacker. Josh Hassall asked where the stuffing stacker was, noting it had been his preferred takeaway for the past two years. Chloe McGuired asked about the festive stack and the sage and onion patty.

Other customers praised the new lineup. Some described the Gravymas menu as a dream come true, while Ana Pinho called the announcement the best news. The new items join the existing KFC menu for the holiday period, with the chain focusing on gravy-based combinations for the winter season.
