MCDONALD’S customers have been left furious over a price hike to its iconic meal deal.
The classic £5 meal deal has been scrapped in favour of the new ‘Meal Deal Plus’ which comes in at £5.59.
Fast food fans used to be able to get a Chicken Mayo or a Cheeseburger, Medium Fries, a soft drink and a “bonus side” of four Chicken McNuggets for £5 in the deal.
Now the Meal Deal Plus gives you more choice on your bonus side.
You can choose from four Chicken McNuggets, Mini McFlurry, Apple Pie or an additional Cheeseburger or Mayo Chicken.
Although there’s more choice on the menu now, customers appeared angry at the price hike.
Some said the change was “criminal” and an “absolute liberty”.
“Rest in peace Maccies £5 meal deal 2024 – 2025,” one person said.
Another wrote: “NO THATS LITERALLY WHAT I GET EVERYTIME AND I WROTE THE AMOUNT OF CARBS THATS IN IT IN MY NOTES ANY EVERYTHING NO NO NOOOOOOOO.”
A third person said: “BRO WHAT I GOT ONE ON SUNDAY THIS IS DEVASTATING.”
And one fast food fan said they would have to switch loyalties, writing: “Looks like im going to KFC now.”
A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “Our new Meal Deal Plus offers more choice than ever before with new options to add four Chicken McNuggets, an Apple Pie, Mini McFlurry, Mayo Chicken or a Cheeseburger to your meal. It’s what our customers told us they want, more choice while still delivering exceptional value.”
