Lamb is popular in the UK. Beef is actually behind chicken and pork already.
Is lamb a regular dish or more of a Christmas and special occasion dish? I'm not in the UK so I genuinely don't know. Not sure that you can get lamb at a fast food joint like you can with beef burgers.
Shepherd's pie is a fairly regular Sunday meal.
And kebab meat is normally lamb. You can get that at pretty much any takeaway chippy in the country, and is traditionally eaten with about six pints of cheap lager.
A joint of lamb is a special occasion dish, but I think the statistics are skewed by the massive number of drunkenly-consumed kebabs
I'm in the US and can get lamb at fast food joints. Go to any Mediterranean shop for a gyro. Afaik it's even more available in the UK since it's primarily sold as people food, not dog food like the US market.
I'm in Canada and there aren't a lot of shops with gyros. Tons of shawarma though, but that's all beef or chicken.
