Yes — some Subway branches in the UK are HMC certified and serve a fully halal menu. These branches do not serve pork products and use HMC-certified halal meat. However, only a minority of UK Subway locations are halal — you must check before visiting. Use the HMC restaurant finder at halalmc.com to find your nearest halal Subway.
HMC-certified Subway branches exist across the UK. Non-certified branches are not halal. Always verify before visiting.
How to Find a Halal Subway Near You
The easiest method is the HMC restaurant locator. Follow these steps:
- Go to halalmc.com/find-halal-food
- Enter your postcode or town
- Filter by "Subway" in the search
- Any results shown are HMC-certified and fully halal
Alternatively, halal Subway branches display the HMC certification certificate prominently in-store — usually on the front window or behind the counter. If you don't see it, ask a member of staff.

| Beef products | Standard (not halal) | HMC certified halal |
| Pork / Bacon / Pepperoni | Served | Not served |
| HMC certificate displayed | No | Yes |
| Cross-contamination risk | High | Minimal (separate supply) |
