McDonald's has announced a menu shake-up across all of its UK restaurants. The fast food chain has confirmed it will be adding eight new items to its menu, but will also be axing several fan favourites.
From today (Thursday), shoppers will be able to get their hands on the new McDonald's additions, which include the Spicy Siracha Chicken Wrap, Mint Aero McFlurries, and the vegan McPlant burger. But to make way for these new items, five favourites have been suddenly axed.
Cheese melt dippers, the Big Tasty, Festive Pie and the Celebrations McFlurry have all vanished from the menu in all McDonald's branches, and are no longer available to buy. But McDonald's fans are particularly distressed by the disappearance of the mini potato waffles, which had been added to the breakfast menu last year.

On Twitter, @KarisNembhard tweeted: "McDonald’s taking the potato waffles off the breakfast menu has ruined my life." On Facebook, Shaunnie Nikole Smith slammed: "I don't know why they don't just put the big tasty on the regular menu, it's on the seasonal menus often enough."
Kyle Martyn Stanley slammed: "Eeeeeee!!! As if Maccies have stopped doing the breakfast waffles!! McDonald's give your head a wobble and bring them back!!" Richard Iles replied: "I'm still stewing over the Big Breakfast."
Mikaela O'connell said: "They stopped them last week I was fumin!!" Zoe Boultwood said: "I wish cheese melts stayed on the menu they're amazing."
It's not all doom and gloom, though. While some people say their 'life is ruined', others can't wait to get down to McDonald's to try the new menu additions.
Sarah Marlow exclaimed: "Oooo that wrap sounds good." Catherine Humphreys said: "Cheesy Garlic Bites; could you think of anything better!!"
Tia Mawdsley wrote: "I wanna try the chicken wrap and McPlant." Leigh Chippindale said: "The wrap cheese bites and AERO McFlurry wow."
A spokesperson for McDonald’s UK and Ireland said: “We’re so pleased to be launching a new Big Flavour Wrap in the UK and Ireland. The Spicy Sriracha Chicken One brings something different to the wrap family and we hope customers are as excited by it as we are.
“As with every McDonald’s offering, we take our time to ensure it meets the highest standards and is something that all our customers will enjoy. We are always looking for different ways to innovate and meet consumers needs and knowing how well-loved the Big Flavour Wraps – it made sense to add to this family, with a spicy chicken edition.”
