Fast-food chain McDonald's is increasing the prices of some menu items as it comes under pressure from rising inflation. The business wrote to customers on Wednesday (July 27) to say it was having to make some "tough choices" as the cost of food and energy continue to soar in the UK.
The company, which opened in Britain in 1974, said its restaurants would be adding "between 10p and 20p" to the menu items "most impacted" by inflation. It confirmed the price of its cheeseburger would go up for the first time in 14 years - from 99p to £1.19.
Some prices will remain unaffected, while others will vary across different restaurants, it said.
