The UK dining scene has never been more diverse, and nearly every cuisine offers excellent keto options if you know what to order.
Order a protein as the centrepiece, ask for extra vegetables instead of chips or mash, request sauces on the side (many contain hidden sugars), and avoid bread baskets.
Order steak, grilled fish, or chicken with vegetables and a side salad. Avoid pasta, pizza, risotto, and most desserts. A good Italian always has excellent grilled options.
Tikka, tandoori, and dry curries are all keto-friendly. Request no rice or naan and ask for a salad instead. Avoid korma (often thickened with flour or almonds mixed with sugar) and sweet chutneys.
A grilled chicken breast, steak, or fish with salad or steamed vegetables is available at almost every UK pub. Skip the chips and the bread roll. Check if gravy contains flour.
KFC: grilled chicken or original recipe without the bun. McDonald’s: burgers without buns, grilled chicken salads. Subway: salad bowl with any protein and dressing. Prepare with our home-cooked alternatives so you are never caught hungry.
Eating out keto is a skill that becomes second nature. Master the basics and social eating will never threaten your progress again.
