Your support makes all the difference.McDonald’s is bringing back six items to its menu, including the Cadbury Crème Egg McFlurry in time for Easter.
From Wednesday, the fast food chain will add the Big Tasty with bacon, the Big Tasty without bacon, Chicken BBQ Smokehouse Burger, Cadbury Crème Egg McFlurry and the Cadbury Caramel McFlurry.
The Mozzarella Dippers will also remain on the menu.
The Big Tasty is comprised of 100 per cent British and Irish beef, melty cheese made with Emmental, tomato, lettuce, slivered onions and Big Tasty sauce.
And the Chicken BBQ Smokehouse burger includes two pieces of chicken with a smoky BBQ sauce, Cheddar cheese, Beechwood Smoked Bacon, red onion, lettuce, tomato and onion relish, all in a ciabatta-style bun.
The new items will be available for purchase between Wednesday 24 March and 5 May.
This means that fans of the Golden Arches have just one day left to order the Grand Big Mac, Grand Big Mac with bacon, Homestyle Crispy Chicken, McFlurry Flake and McFlurry Raspberry Flake.
The fast food chain regularly updates its menu, usually every six weeks.
And it has also confirmed the return of its popular McDonald’s Monopoly game this summer.
While an exact launch date hasn’t been confirmed as yet, McDonald’s fans are excited at the prospect of winning big.
Customers who purchase qualifying items will find a peel-off sticker attached which, when revealed, could secure them a prize.
This ranges from menu items, to larger online prizes, such as cash vouchers – and even cars.
While McDonald’s restaurants remain closed for eat-in meals, the fast food chain started allowing walk-in takeaways at some branches from 22 February.
Customers are required to wear a face mask and are asked to “be kind” to staff members.
The fast food chain has over 1,300 restaurants throughout the UK.
In November last year, the chain opened its first restaurant in Oakham, Rutland – the UK’s smallest county which, until then, was the only one without a McDonald’s branch.
Some residents expressed concern about the impact its opening would have on smaller businesses, while others said it would increase litter and undermine “the Rutland brand”.
The county’s mayor, David Romney welcomed the branch, however, stating that it would create more than 65 jobs in the community and prevent the area from becoming “left with old people”.
“At the end of the day do you want to keep Rutland as it was - it's a very quiet place, nothing happens, it's very well to do,” he told The Telegraph.
“Or do you want to say to people we are open for business? We want to create jobs. We don't want the kids to all leave and then you are left with old people,” he said.
