Subway does not publish a current figure. Reports gave 185 halal stores in 2014 and 202 later. This list confirms 76 stores listed as halal on the Zabihah directory and shown as open on Subway's UK directory on 3 November 2026, out of 2,037 Subway store pages in the UK.

Question 3

Not any more. Subway's UK store finder once had a halal filter, which its UK account pointed customers to in 2022, but the filter is no longer available and Subway's store pages carry no halal label.

Question 7

How can you tell if a Subway is halal?
