Another day, another price increase—McDonald’s latest menu adjustments have left customers frustrated and rethinking their orders. From burgers to desserts, nearly every category has seen a bump, and fans aren’t staying quiet about it.
The Double Cheeseburger, once a reliable £1.99, now costs £2.49. The Big Mac, already pricey at £4.69, has jumped to £4.89—and if you’re ordering delivery, prepare to pay over £5.50. Even McNuggets, a longtime favorite, have gone up, with a nine-piece now costing £5.19 instead of £5.09.
The Saver Menu, meant to offer budget-friendly options, has also taken hits. A simple hamburger is now £1.29, up from £1.19, and small fries have followed suit. Coffee and soft drinks aren’t exempt either, with small beverages now priced at £1.29.
Online, the backlash is swift. Reddit users are calling the increases “ridiculous,” with some vowing to ditch McDonald’s entirely. “Why pay more for less?” one commenter asked, while another noted that local takeaways now offer better value.
McDonald’s defends the changes, citing rising costs for quality ingredients like British beef and fresh chicken. They also point to value deals like the Wrap of the Day and app promotions. But for many, the days of cheap, convenient McDonald’s meals seem to be slipping away.
