There’s nothing quite like a beer and a burger.
Wetherspoons have been serving up both for donkey’s years. So we don’t know why Britain’s fast food giants have taken so long to give us what we want.
We’ve had to wait until 2016 to be allowed a pint to go with our burger, but now we’ve finally caught up with the rest of the world.
Burger King will begin selling beer at one of its top British restaurants for the first time ever.
Waterloo Station’s Burger King will be the first in the country to serve alcoholic beverage alongside their famous Whopper after Lambeth Council gave them to go-ahead.
There are quite a few caveats though – they can only serve beer, it can’t be stronger than 5%, it is only on sale between 11am and 8pm and it must be drunk on site, according to the Daily Mirror.
Westminster Council kiboshed plans to sell ale at Victoria and after opposition from police, the Evening Standard report.
But Burger King bosses hope that soon you’ll be able to buy a cold one at any outlet around the country.
“It’s very successful everywhere else so we’re just catching up with the rest of the world really,” a spokesperson for Burger King said.
“It’ll probably be an American beer to fall in line with the brand.”
Sadly though it doesn’t look like McDonald’s will be following suit any time soon. The American fast food behemoth said recently that the demand in the UK wasn’t there and it doesn’t fit with the ‘family friendly’ focus of their UK restaurants.
