McDonald's UK prices at a glance
The table below collects the items people search for most. "Typical price" is the median of all restaurants that listed the item; the range shows the cheapest and the most expensive listing we found. Every price comes from a live restaurant menu, so nothing here is an estimate or a national "recommended" price — McDonald's UK does not publish one.

Burger prices
The Big Mac and the Quarter Pounder with Cheese sit at the same typical price of £5.49, which makes the choice purely about taste. The Big Arch is the new premium burger on the UK menu — at £8.72 it costs more than many full meals, so it is worth checking the meal price before you add it to the basket.

Saver Menu
The Saver Menu is McDonald's UK's budget range: small portions of familiar items at the lowest price points on the board. Delivery apps rarely show it as a separate section, but the core items are listed — Cheeseburger £2.26, Mayo Chicken £2.26 and Double Cheeseburger £3.13. See the full list on the Saver Menu page.
Meal prices
In the UK you turn any main into a meal with fries and a drink. At the restaurants we checked a medium meal added a median £1.75 to a Big Mac and a large one £2.53. That upgrade is cheaper than buying medium fries and a medium Coke separately (£4.91).

How prices have changed since 2000
In 2000 a Big Mac cost £1.90 in a UK restaurant. The latest survey puts it at £5.49 — +188.9%. Restaurant prices in general rose +147.1% over the same period, so the Big Mac has climbed faster than eating out as a whole. The year-by-year numbers and an inflation calculator are on the price history page.

How to pay less at McDonald's
- Order in the McDonald's app or at the kiosk rather than through a delivery app — delivery menus are priced about 15% higher before fees are even added.
- Collect MyMcDonald's Rewards points: 1 point for every 1p you spend. Our rewards calculator shows which rewards get the most value from your points.
- Check the deals section of the app — there are usually several weekly offers on burgers, McNuggets and coffee.
- Use the Saver Menu for small appetites, and make it a medium meal only when you want both fries and a drink.
- For groups, compare the sharing boxes with individual meals — the 20 McNuggets Sharebox is the cheapest nuggets per piece.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a Big Mac in the UK?
About £5.49 in the restaurant and £6.29 on delivery apps (median of 77 UK restaurants, 12 October 2026). A medium Big Mac Meal is about £7.24.
What is the cheapest thing on the McDonald's UK menu?
Leaving dips aside, the cheapest items we found were Apple Slices and Carrot Sticks (£0.78), a PG tips tea (£1.21) and the Saver Menu staples — Cheeseburger £2.26 and Mayo Chicken £2.26.
Are McDonald's prices the same everywhere in the UK?
No. Restaurants are mostly run by franchisees who set their own prices. Our basket of seven everyday items cost £26.34 in Portsmouth and £34.02 in York. Motorway services, airports and stations are usually dearer still.
Are delivery prices higher than in the restaurant?
Yes. Restaurants price their delivery menus about 15% higher to cover the platform commission: The Economist recorded an in-restaurant Big Mac at £5.49 in July 2026, while the delivery median we found was £6.29. Delivery and service fees come on top of that.
What time does McDonald's stop serving breakfast in the UK?
Most UK restaurants serve breakfast until 11:00. On delivery apps the breakfast menu usually closes a little earlier — at 10:45 at almost every restaurant we checked. See our breakfast hours guide.
