Now, McDonald's have confirmed there'll be a new addition to their menu.

The new burger is described as a 'hot, juicy beef, cheddar cheese and signature Big Arch sauce' shaped icon and will be available to order at restaurants and via McDelivery from Wednesday, June 18. The burger sees two juicy 100% Irish beef patties stacked on top of each other, topped with white cheddar cheese slices, crispy onions, fresh onions, shredded lettuce, crunchy pickles, and finished off with the signature Big Arch sauce. The burger is sandwiched into a poppy and sesame seed-topped bun, with McDonald's promising maximum flavour and total satisfaction.

McDonald's fans split over new menu item with some branding it ‘vile' and demanding the return of the original
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MCDONALD'S revamped its menu on Wednesday, reintroducing several fan favourites. Alongside these returning items, the chain launched a new limited-edition drink and brought back its popular Biscoff Frappe, which first debuted last year. 1 It is not uncommon for the fast-food giant to shake up what is sold across its 1,300 UK restaurants to make way for new items The fast-food giant has replaced its Strawberry Frozen Lemonade with a new Frozen Cherry Lemonade. Priced at £2.99, the drink is described as a tangy frozen lemonade blended with a delightfully sweet cherry-flavoured swirl. However, customers have been divided, taking to social media to share their opinions on the drink. One person said on Facebook: "I had it yesterday and it was vile. "It reminded me of medicine. "I loved the strawberry one though, bring that back." Another said: "No thanks, gutted the strawberry lemonade was taken off." A third customer said: "I'm not a fan it is sour and not nice." However, not every customer is unhappy with the drink. One person said: "Best thing for the summer this drink is." Six savvy McDonald's Menu hacks Another added: "Had one yesterday, it reminded of a sherbet sweet but it was nice. "Would be lovely and refreshing on a hot day" It is not uncommon for the fast-food giant to shake up what is sold across its 1,300 UK restaurants to make way for new items. Menus are often updated every few months or in line with certain events such as Easter or Christmas. And just because an item is discontinued does not mean it is gone for good. What else hit menus this week? McDonald's has brought back back the highly-anticipated Biscoff McFlurry and Biscoff Frappe. A regular tub of the new McFlurry will cost £2.29, while a smaller one comes in at £1.69. And the Biscoff Frappe – a vanilla flavour base blended with ice and biscuit crumb, topped with caramel cream and more biscuit bits – costs £3.09. On the savoury side, McDonald's has brought back the McSpicy x Frank's RedHot burger and the Steakhouse Stack, both priced at £5.99. The McSpicy features a hot and crispy chicken breast, paired with lettuce, jalapeños, onions, cheese, and Frank's RedHot Mayo, all served in a toasted sesame seed bun. It's also available as a meal for £7.99. Meanwhile, the Steakhouse Stack boasts two juicy beef patties, cheddar cheese, crispy and red onions, fresh lettuce, and a rich black peppercorn sauce, all tucked into a glazed sesame bun. Save money at McDonald's YOU could end up being charged more for a McDonald's meal based solely on the McDonald's restaurant you choose. Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30% cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other. You can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 at any time by filling in a feedback survey found on McDonald's receipts. The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey. You'll then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 offer. There are some deals and offers you can only get if you have the My McDonald's app, so it's worth signing up to get money off your meals. The MyMcDonald's app can be downloaded on iPhone and Android phones and is quick to set up. You can also bag freebies and discounts on your birthday if you're a My McDonald's app user. How do I find my nearest McDonald's? The chain has a restaurant locator tool on its website you can use to find your nearest one - and check what time it opens. McDonald's locator also lets you know when its stores open. As McDonald's stops serving breakfast as early as 11am, you'll need to get there before the chain switches to its regular menu.

McDonald's sneakily hikes price of popular menu items as customers moan about increases
MCDONALD'S has sneakily hiked the price of some its popular menu items, The Sun can reveal. We've found the price of four items has jumped by up to 15% in the last 12 months. 3 One item that's risen in price is the Steakhouse Stack, which returned this week Credit: McDonald's 3 The Biscoff McFlurry was £1.99 last year but now it's £2.29 3 The Mayo Chicken was once 99p - now it's £1.39 Credit: McDonald's This week, Maccies brought back its popular Steakhouse Stack burger - but now it's around 10% more expensive. Last year, it cost 5.49 for the burger alone or £7.19 for a meal but now it's £5.99 and £7.99 respectively. Its Biscoff Frappe is also back, costing £3.09 - but it was £2.99 last year. While its Biscoff McFlurry is now £2.29, up from £1.99. That's an increase of a huge 15%. We've also spotted that its Mayo Chicken burger on its Saver menu is now £1.49, up from £1.39 in November last year. Prices at McDonald's do vary based on the location, partly due to some being franchises, which means they set their own prices. It's unclear if other items have also gone up in price, as McDonald's did not respond to our question on this matter. A spokesperson for McDonald's said it refused "to compromise on the quality of our ingredients – and that means when these ingredients cost more, we have to review our prices". It added: "Raising some prices means we are able to stand by our quality commitments, like our beef patties being made from 100% British and Irish beef or our Chicken McNuggets being made from 100% chicken breast. We know how much these mean to our customers. "Providing value remains an absolute priority. We continue to work tirelessly to ensure that every customer has a value offering that works for them." Customers' fury at price hikes Customers have been moaning on social media, including Reddit, about the increases. One said: "Why has McDonald's gotten so expensive?!!! More than £5 for a Big Mac is just wild." McDonald's Minecraft Taste Test - Sam Walker The post quickly got hundreds of comments, with plenty of people in agreement. "Ive stopped eating there a while ago, I always had couple of double cheeseburgers, they were 1.59 each and a wrap of the day that was 1.99," another commenter said. "Right now double cheeseburgers are over 2 quid I think. It's just not worth it anymore. Big Mac is 5 quid and I will destroy it in 4-5 bites. I rather make food at home now." Another person wrote: "I remember the days an extra value meal was £2.88." Pressure on prices Retailers and restaurant chains have been forced to pass cost increases on to customers in recent years because of rising inflation and business costs. The UK Government also last month raised the cost of National Insurance contributions for employers, making it more expensive to keep and hire employees. In January, Greggs also confirmed a hike to prices in its shops.
