The latest version is described as:

Beef patty, American cheese, smoked cheese, cheese crisp, pickled red onions, lettuce, spicy garlic mayonnaise, onion ring, a scoop of bacon macaroni cheese.

Denny’s – Swansea

Denny's Christmas Burger

Denny’s Diner opened their first UK location in early 2018 and are looking to expand to ten restaurants in the next few years.

They are certainly feeling festive with the imaginatively named ‘Festive Feast Burger’.
