McDonald's to launch ‘iconic' menu item within days as part of big shake-up
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MCDONALD'S is adding a brand new menu item to restaurants within days. The home of the Golden Arches is adding a new burger, called the Big Arch, The Sun can reveal. 1 McDonald's is launching a new burger The burger has two beef patties, topped with white cheddar cheese slices, crispy onions, fresh onions, shredded lettuce, crunchy pickles, and Big Arch sauce. It will be added to menus on Wednesday June 18, giving customers just a few weeks to wait. It costs £7.99 for the burger on its own or £9.99 for a medium meal - but prices vary based on your location. Thomas O'Neill, head of menu at McDonald's UK&I, said: 'A new iconic burger needs an equally iconic sauce, and we've taken it up a notch with the Big Arch. I tried the big arch burger By Sam Walker , Consumer Reporter THE first thing I noticed was how huge the burger is. I struggled from keeping the ingredients inside from spilling out, even with two hands wrapped around the poppy and sesame seed-topped bun. It's full of flavour and the sauce is richer and more peppery than the classic McDonald's burger sauce. I liked the white cheddar cheese square too. It's one of the more expensive options on menus, as it's £3.40 more expensive than a Big Mac - but it is bigger. "This isn't just about size, it's about flavour. "With double layers of beef, crispy onions, and the hero of the build, our signature sauce, every bite is crafted to hit the spot to satisfy serious McDonald's hunger. Big, bold, and packed with serious deliciousness.' Last month, fans were pleased to see the return of the McSpicy x Frank's RedHot burger and the meaty Steakhouse Stack once again. It features chicken breast in a hot and crispy coating, lettuce, jalapenos, onions, cheese and Frank's RedHot Mayo in a toasted sesame seed bun for £5.99 – or £7.99 as a meal. Also staging a comeback was the Steakhouse Stack – two beef patties, cheddar cheese, crispy and red onions, fresh lettuce and black peppercorn sauce in a glazed sesame bun – again priced at £5.99. The fast food chain also revamped the menu, introducing a Frozen Cherry Lemonade. But it's arrival meant the limited edition Minecraft meals and cheesy garlic dippers were no longer sold in stores. Why McDonald's Cancelled Its New Drive-Thru Plans in Scottish Town (1) MORE CHANGES AT MACCIES The news comes just days after The Sun revealed McDonald's had quietly axed the Chicken Bacon Caesar Wrap as part of a "rotation" of its offering. The wrap, which combined chicken breast strips, crispy onions, rashers of bacon and lettuce, was first launched in summer 2023. However, the home of the Big Mac said it was taken off menus earlier this month. A spokesperson added: "As part of our regular wrap rotation, we've taken the Caesar wrap off the menu for now. "We're always evolving our menu with our customers in mind to keep things fresh and exciting." Last October, McDonald's announced it was bringing back its iconic McRib after almost 10 years for a limited time. It came after customers begged for the pork-based sandwich, which first launched in 1981, to make a comeback. However, it was quietly discontinued the following month. A host of other items have come off menus in recent years to make way for new ones including the fan favourite Chicken Legend. The Breakfast Bagel and iconic Sundaes have also fallen off menus since 2018.

McDonald's fans split over new menu item with some branding it ‘vile' and demanding the return of the original
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. 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.
