Not from the UK but I've got an MSR pocket rocket 2 that runs on isobutane, the little red cannisters. I've used it camping for many years before putting it in my go bag. Simple, light, and cheap. You are stuck using the cannisters tho so stock up a few.

what type of fuel? gas bottle? propane/butane canister? random twigs and sticks?

I take it you have not yet come to know UK's own Wild Woodgas Stove? Absolutely brilliant piece of kit. I've had one for 10 years, lots of use here in Finland and swear by it. Make firestarter by dipping cotton pads into molten candle wax, a little piece will start the burn even in -20 ยฐC conditions. https://shavenraspberry.com/shop/safety-survival/wild-woodgas-stove/
I have this for a big burn (boiling) and a Trangia burner for simmering and frying.

Also how big do you want it?

FireMaple Gear is pretty nice. I have the GreenPeak II, which is pressure regulated and fuel efficient, from my personal experience with it.
In a pinch you can always make a swedish torch.
I have a Vargo Jet-Ti 2 Stove, can't complain. For propane, I use a Sports Basement refillable propane tank so I pretty much have fuel for life
BRS-3000t is about as cheap, light and small as it gets depending on your needs. https://www.amazon.com/BRS-BRS-3000T-Ultra-Light-Titanium-Miniature/dp/B06XNLSNFR
I have this one from Decathlon and find it very good and it was only thirty euro. The only minor issue I have with it is that you can burn through the (fairly small) canisters quickly until you get used to them. They're aerosol sized.
Having said that, cooking on low heat is totally fine.
You mentioned a go bag so it's not that small either if that's a concern but perfect for pots / frying pan.
