This question gets asked more than almost any other about Burger King in the UK, and the answers online contradict each other constantly. Some of that comes from confusion with other markets, where the position is different.
Here is the position as it stands in the UK, what the chain itself states, and the practical checks worth making before you order.

Burger King restaurants in the United Kingdom are not halal certified. The beef and chicken served in UK branches is not sold as halal, and the chain does not operate a certified halal restaurant list in this market.
This differs from several other countries where Burger King does run halal certified restaurants, which is where much of the confusion online comes from. A guide written about one market does not apply to another.
Search results mix markets freely. An article about halal Burger King branches in another country ranks for a UK search, and readers reasonably assume it applies here.
Franchise structure adds to it. UK Burger King restaurants are run by several different operators, which leads people to assume individual branches might certify separately. They do not.
For customers avoiding non halal meat, the plant based range is the practical route. The Vegan Royale and the Plant based Whopper both sit on the UK menu at the same price as their meat equivalents.
Cooking practice is the caveat. Plant based items share kitchen equipment with meat items, so they meet a dietary preference rather than a strict separation standard. Anyone requiring genuine separation should treat that as decisive.
Ask at the counter rather than relying on a website, including this one, for the branch in front of you. Staff can confirm current practice for that restaurant directly.
Full ingredient and allergen information for every item sits on each product page here, drawn from Burger King UK published data, which covers the fourteen allergens UK law requires restaurants to declare.
If halal certification is a requirement, UK Burger King restaurants do not meet it, and no amount of branch level checking changes that.
If the goal is avoiding pork specifically, the chicken and plant based ranges cover it, though the shared kitchen point stands. The honest position is that this is a chain that has not pursued halal certification in this market.
