What is a Subway SubMelt?
A Subway SubMelt is a hot, pressed, and toasted sub filled with melted cheese. Think panini rather than a standard toasted sub. Subway introduced the idea to the UK as a small trial in March 2022, with a free giveaway in a handful of stores, and then widened it to almost 500 UK and Ireland stores in late October 2022.
The line became a permanent part of the Subway Series menu when that range launched on 31 May 2023, alongside the chef-inspired Signature Series subs.
Two practical points matter here. First, SubMelts come as either a 6-inch or a footlong. Second, availability has always depended on the store, because early rollouts were limited to participating restaurants. If you cannot see one on the board, check the app or ask at the counter.
Subway SubMelt menu UK: prices and calories
Here are the SubMelts you are most likely to find on the Subway SubMelt menu UK right now, using typical 6-inch prices.
| SubMelt | Typical 6-inch price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Tuna SubMelt | £5.89 | 439 kcal |
| Cheesy B.M.T. SubMelt | £6.19 | 458 kcal |
| Stacked Turkey Rasher & Cheese SubMelt | £6.19 | 457 kcal |
| BBQ Chicken & Turkey Rasher SubMelt | £6.49 | 476 kcal |
| Big Cheese Steak SubMelt | £6.99 | 458 kcal |
The cheapest is the Subway Tuna SubMelt, and the Big Cheese Steak SubMelt is usually the dearest of the core range because of the steak. Prices in London and other city centers tend to run 5 to 10 percent higher than the national average, so expect to add a little if you are buying there.
Subway footlong SubMelt price vs. the 6-inch
The Subway footlong SubMelt price typically lands between £10 and £13. A footlong Tuna SubMelt has been listed at around £11 and 878 kcal, while a footlong Big Cheese Steak has been listed nearer £12 and 922 kcal. Calories are roughly double because you get twice the sub.
Is the footlong better value? Usually, yes. Two 6-inch submelts cost more than one footlong, so if you plan to split it or save half for later, the longer sub wins on price per inch. If you are eating alone and want a light lunch, the Subway 6 inch SubMelt price of about £6 is easier on the wallet.
Subway toastie prices UK: the cheaper hot options
Not every hot item on the menu is a SubMelt. Subway also sells a smaller, cheaper range of toasties, and this is where the Subway toastie menu UK gets interesting for anyone watching their budget.
| Toastie | Typical price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Triple Cheese Toastie | £2.79 | 345 kcal |
| Ham & Cheese Toastie | £2.99 | 360 kcal |
| Honey Mustard Deli Toastie | £6.19 | 362 kcal |
| Big Cheese Steak Toastie | £6.49 | 348 kcal |
| Stacked Bacon & Cheese Toastie | £7.99 | 550 kcal |
The Subway triple cheese toastie price makes it the cheapest hot item in the whole restaurant. The Subway ham and cheese toastie saver sub comes in just under £3. Our Subway Saver Menu guide lists every saver option with calories, plus the daily Sub of the Day trick for getting a full 6-inch for less.
The larger toasties in the table are priced like full subs. You will see the Subway honey mustard deli toastie price at about £6.19, the Subway big cheese steak toastie price at about £6.49, and the Subway stacked bacon and cheese toastie at about £7.99.
Naming differs from store to store and between the app and the board, so a “toastie” in one place can be a “SubMelt” in another. Always compare the size and calories, not just the name.
SubMelt vs. Toastie: What is the difference?
The short version is size, price and cheese. A Subway SubMelt vs. toastie comparison looks like this:
- SubMelt: a full 6-inch or footlong sub, pressed panini-style, with melted cheese and a defined flavor combination from the Series menu. It costs roughly £6 to £7 for a 6-inch.
- Saver toastie: a smaller toasted sub aimed at value, usually priced between £2.79 and £3.29. It is a snack or a light lunch, not a full meal.
- Deli and premium toasties: bigger, closer to the SubMelt in price, and listed with a different name even though the idea is similar.
If you want a proper hot lunch, pick a SubMelt. If you want something warm for under £3, pick a saver toastie and load it with free vegetables.
Subway SubMelt meal deal
A Subway SubMelt meal deal adds a drink and a side to your sub. When the range first expanded, the side was crisps or a cookie. Typical prices for a SubMelt meal deal sit around £9.69 for a 6-inch and £12.69 to £12.99 for a footlong, with a meal deal for two costing a little over £20.
Is it worth it? On a 6-inch, the saving is small, often under a pound, so only bundle if you really want the side and the drink. On a footlong the gap is bigger.
Our guide to Subway meal deal prices includes a worked example of the math and a list of the app-only offers that tend to appear around September and January.
Subway SubMelt flavors: past and present
The Subway SubMelt flavors list has changed a lot since 2022. Here are the ones worth knowing.
The launch range
- Big Cheese-Steak: the flagship, with steak, melted cheese, and a chipotle Southwest sauce-style kick. It has stayed on the menu since the trial days.
- Pizziola B.M.T.: a pizza-inspired SubMelt built on the classic B.M.T. flavors with marinara.
- Supremo: launched as the vegetarian-friendly option.
- V.I.Brie: creamy Brie, American-style cheese, maple-smoked streaky bacon, caramelized red onions, and sweet onion sauce. It came back in the festive 2023 range as a limited edition.
Later additions
- Stacked Bacon & Cheese SubMelt: joined the range alongside a hot Mango Habanero sauce.
- Tuna SubMelt, Cheesy B.M.T. SubMelt and BBQ Chicken & Turkey Rasher SubMelt: now part of the regular line-up.
Trials and one-offs
- Steak & Blue Cheese SubMelt and Steak, Raclette & Truffle SubMelt: two indulgent flavors tested in select UK stores as part of the Series range.
- Cadbury Creme Egg SubMelt: a one-day promotional curiosity that still gets searched.
Limited editions rarely stay on the board for long, so if a seasonal flavor appeals, order it early.
Is the Big Cheese-Steak SubMelt worth it?
For most people, yes. At roughly £6.99 for a 6-inch with 458 kcal, it gives you the most filling hot sub on the SubMelt menu, and it has outlasted many of the flavours around it. The trade-off is price.
If you are happy with chicken or tuna, the BBQ Chicken & Turkey Rasher at about £6.49 or the Tuna SubMelt at about £5.89 costs less and carries similar calories. If you want steak without the SubMelt premium, the Big Cheese Steak Toastie at about £6.49 is worth comparing in your local store.
Calories, vegetarian and halal options
The Subway SubMelt calories in the UK range for a 6-inch is fairly tight: from 439 kcal for the Tuna SubMelt to 476 kcal for the BBQ Chicken & Turkey Rasher, with the Big Cheese Steak and Cheesy B.M.T. both at 458 kcal. For a Subway SubMelt menu with calories, remember these figures assume the standard recipe and do not include extra sauce or add-ons. The lighter Saver toasties start from about 345 kcal.
Vegetarian: The Supremo was launched as a vegetarian-friendly SubMelt, and a cheese-only toastie such as the Triple Cheese is the simplest meat-free pick. Recipes and suppliers change, so check the allergen and nutrition information in the app rather than relying on an old list.
Halal: halal meat is available at some UK Subway stores, but not all of them. A submelt that contains meat is only halal if your branch confirms the supplier, and that is a store-level decision. Our Subway halal UK guide explains how to check before you order.
Allergens: every SubMelt contains milk (cheese) and gluten (bread). Ask staff about cross-contact if you have a serious allergy.
How to pay less for a SubMelt
- Check the app first: App-only offers, Subway Rewards points, and click-and-collect orders can beat the price on the board.
- Use Sub of the Day: It is not a submelt, but it is the cheapest route to a full 6-inch sub.
- Go footlong and split it: Per inch, it is the best value on the menu.
- Compare delivery prices: Orders through Uber Eats, Deliveroo, and Just Eat usually cost more than collecting in store.
- Ask about student discounts: Many branches offer 10 to 15 percent off with a valid student card, though it varies by store.
