This is of course invitation to treat. To say however that to show that BK deliberately misled is 'nigh on impossible' has no basis. This would constitute a Reg 9 offence under The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regs, in relation to Reg 5(2)(a) - Misleading Actions referring to Reg 5(4). I think this offence is quite easily made on the strength of OP's statement, especially as they made the transactional decision to eat there on the basis of this offer. The sales assistant also (rather helpfully) clarified the position.
I would also argue that this could consitute a banned practice as per Sch 1 of the same Regs, but as no similar cases have yet been to court, I could not commit to pursuing that angle.

To show that BK has a universal policy of ripping off customers in this manner will, I maintain, be nigh on impossible.

I really don't think any TSD is going to give a jot about this case.

Thats awful of BK! Back in my student days I worked as a supervisor at a BK in a Welcome break service station - and the majority of BK'S are franchised out to independant companies/people that simply pay to use the BK name, but are not directly reponsible to the BK head office - I know that when i worked there, I never once had anything to with 'BK' all of our business was conducted by Welcome Break, and we didnt accept any discount vouchers that BK themselves published, because we were 'welcome break' and not actually BK!
Confusing!
