McDonald’s raises price of five menu items today – here’s the full list

Maccies is also trialling a range of Saver Meals though

McDonald's is raising the price of five menu items from today, as a result of soaring inflation and costs in the UK. The fast food chain, which has more than 1,200 restaurants in the UK, said it had been hit with rising food and energy prices "like many other businesses". The items that are going up in price are:

• Mayo Chicken, which will rise by 20 percent from 99p to £1.19
• Bacon Mayo Chicken, a 12.6 percent rise from £1.59 to £1.79
• Bacon Double Cheeseburger, and eight percent rise from £2.49 to £2.69
• Triple Cheeseburger, a 7.4 percent rise from £2.69 to £2.89
• Medium Fizzy Drink, a 7.1 percent rise from £1.39 to £1.49

These prices may not be implemented at all restaurants though as some branches as some are operated by franchisees.

McDonald's can recommend how its franchises set their prices, but can't order them to introduce increases, so prices can vary across restaurants.

A spokesperson for McDonald's told JOE: “We are committed to offering great tasting food at affordable prices. However, like many businesses, the impact of the increase in food and energy costs continues to affect our company and our franchisees. "We carefully review and adjust pricing to offer great value and quality. At the same time, we continue to work hard on how we can provide our customers value where it matters most, with personalised offers and rewards through the MyMcDonald’s Rewards scheme." Read more:
