McDonald’s reveals huge menu shake up including THREE new desserts and side to rival fan-favourite mozzarella bites

MCDONALD’S has confirmed a huge shake-up to its menu, which will feature brand new items and a new side to rival mozzarella bites.

The fast food giant is set to launch a total of seven new items in the coming weeks, including returning favourites.

The new and returning items will be landing on menus across the UK and Ireland from July 17.

Among the range is the brand new Birthday Cake Donut, which is bound to be a big hit with sweet-toothed fans.

The donut will be filled with strawberry-flavoured filling and topped with a buttercream-flavoured icing and sprinkles.

Also new to its offering is the Milkybar Raspberry Ripple McFlurry and Munchies Cookie Dough McFlurry.

Plus, McDonald’s has launched a new side – Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers.

Among the beloved items making their way back to menus are the Double Big Mac and the Double Big Mac with Bacon.

Fans of the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse will once again be able to tuck into the burger as it’s set to return to menus.

The new Birthday Cake Donut will cost £1.99 and 20p from each sale will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities UK.

The new treat has been launched to celebrate the charity’s 35^th birthday this year.

Meanwhile, the Milkybar Raspberry Ripple McFlurry will feature soft dairy ice cream swirled with mini Milkybar chocolate drops and will be topped with raspberry sauce.

McDonald’s customers will be able to get their hands on it for £2.19.

Meanwhile, a mini version will set you back just £1.59.

The Munchies Cookie Dough McFlurry, which includes biscuit pieces and caramel cookie dough sauce, will also be priced at £2.19.

Returning to the menu is the iconic Double Big Mac and Double Big Mac with Bacon.

They will feature four beef patties, a slice of cheese, lettuce, onion, and pickles and Big Mac sauce.

The Double Big Mac will cost £5.39 for a single and £7.19 for a meal.

To get the burger with bacon, customers will have to pay £6.19 for a single or £8.09 for a meal.

Elsewhere, the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse is returning for the first time since October 2023.

This burger will be made up of chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating with a smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion, lettuce, all in a sourdough style sesame topped bun.

Burger fans can get the burger on its own for £5.59 or £7.49 as part of a meal.

The new Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers are made of mozzarella and flavoured with garlic and chives in a ciabatta-style breadcrumb coating, served with rich tomato dip.

Cheese lovers can get a pack of four for £2.39 or a sharebox for £6.49.

If you want to try these additions then don’t hang around because they will only be on menus for around six weeks.

After launching earlier this year, McDonald’s has confirmed that its Chicken Sharebox will be staying on the menu.

The £10.59 boxes includes six Chicken Selects, twelve Chicken McNuggets, two McNuggets dips and two Selects dips.

How to save money at McDonald’s

You might not think it, but you can end up being charged more solely based on the McDonald’s restaurant you choose.

Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30p cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other.

Meanwhile, you can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 by filling in a feedback survey found on any old McDonald’s receipt.

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.

Make sure you check out all the various apps and platforms if you’re ordering McDonald’s to your home too.

Our research found some can charge up to £1.20 more than others.

How do I find my nearest McDonald’s?

If you’re planning on taking a trip to McDonald’s, you’ll want to know where your nearest branch is.

The chain has a restaurant locator tool on its website you can use to find your nearest one – and check what time it opens.

Bear in mind that McDonald’s serves breakfast every day until 11am.

After that, the menu switches to the normal menu serving meals such as burgers, chicken nuggets and more.
