🍔 Big Changes Are Here: McDonald’s UK Menu Shake-Up – May 2025
If you’re a McDonald’s fan in the UK, May 2025 has brought a major menu makeover. Whether you're craving something new, waiting for a favorite to return, or shocked by what’s been removed—there's plenty to unpack in this update. Let's dive into what's changing and why this matters to both regular customers and fast-food enthusiasts.
🆕 What's New on the McDonald’s UK Menu?
The Hat Trick Burger
For big appetites, McDonald's now offers the Hat Trick Burger—featuring three juicy beef patties, layered with cheese, grilled onions, mustard, and ketchup in a sesame-glazed bun. It’s bold, heavy, and built for the seriously hungry.
Skittles McFlurry
This colourful new dessert combines McFlurry’s signature soft-serve ice cream with chewy Skittles fudge pieces, pearl sugar, and a vibrant purple Skittles-flavoured sauce. A hit among sweet-tooth lovers and Instagram stories.
Galaxy Chocolate & Raspberry Pie
The new pie blends rich chocolate ganache with tangy raspberry compote for a limited-time treat that’s rich, indulgent, and perfect with coffee.
9 Chicken Selects Sharebox
Hosting a game night or just hungry? The new sharebox includes 9 Chicken Selects and three dips—perfect for sharing or, honestly, enjoying solo.
New Dipping Sauces
Joining Sweet Chilli are two updated flavours:
-
Garlic Mayo (now creamier and more garlicky)
-
Sweet & Smoky BBQ (with an improved smoky kick)
🔁 Fan Favorites Making a Comeback
Mozzarella Bites
These gooey, cheesy classics are back. Each bite is coated in crispy breadcrumbs and served with a tangy tomato dip.
Galaxy Caramel McFlurry
Galaxy lovers, rejoice. This returning dessert swirls caramel Galaxy chunks into creamy McFlurry ice cream.
Iced Latte
No longer seasonal! The Iced Latte is now a permanent fixture on the drinks menu—perfect for warmer days or caffeine breaks.
❌ What’s Being Removed?
Change comes at a cost—and some beloved items are being pulled off the shelves (at least temporarily):
-
Big Mac: Yes, the iconic burger is stepping aside for now.
-
Quarter Deluxe Meal: Gone.
-
Chicken Big Mac: Both standalone and meal versions are being discontinued.
-
Cheese & Herb Melts: Including the sharebox version.
🧠 Why These Changes Matter
McDonald’s menu updates aren't just about novelty—they reflect changing customer preferences, limited-time testing, and seasonal rotations. The addition of bold new items (like the Hat Trick Burger and Skittles McFlurry) suggests McDonald’s is targeting Gen Z and younger audiences craving over-the-top food experiences.
Removing staples like the Big Mac may be temporary—but it could also indicate a shift toward experimenting with fresher formats and limited-edition runs.
