The UK menu’s headline burger is the Big Arch, which arrived as a limited run and is now permanent. Its cult favorite sits at the other end of the price list: the Mayo Chicken, a small chicken sandwich with mayo and lettuce. Breakfast asks whether you want ketchup or brown sauce, porridge comes with Lyle’s Golden Syrup, and the shakes include banana. September adds Black Pepper & Garlic McNuggets, a Big Arch with Bacon, a Quarter Pounder Deluxe and Cheesy Potato Bites.
The UK board starts out familiar (Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, McNuggets, fries) and gets more British the further down you read. There’s a nine-piece McNuggets box, a sausage sandwich with brown sauce, a McCafé that pours flat whites, and a McPlant that’s vegan down to the cheese. The US menu is the easiest comparison for the rest, and McDonald’s around the world shows where Britain fits among the other countries’ exclusives.

FAQ

What is a Mayo Chicken?
A small breaded chicken patty with mayonnaise and shredded lettuce in a plain bun, sold at the value end of the UK menu. It fills the same budget slot as Canada’s Junior Chicken and has a cult following of its own.
Does McDonald’s UK serve brown sauce?
Yes, at breakfast. The Sausage Sandwich and the Breakfast Wrap are both listed with brown sauce, and you can ask for ketchup instead.
How much does McDonald’s cost in the UK?
