It comes as McDonald’s is set to shake up its menu next week with a new drink and spicy dip, plus returning fan favourites
If you’re looking to treat yourself to your favourite fast food this early May bank holiday, you’ll be pleased to know that most McDonald’s restaurants will be open for business.
We checked McDonald’s opening times in several different UK towns, and they were all scheduled to open as normal this Monday, May 26.
For example, the McDonald’s in Northumberland Street in Newcastle will be open from 6am until 4am on the May bank holiday, while the McDonald’s in Cornish Gateway Services in Cornwall is sticking to its normal opening times of 6am until 11pm.
The London Bridge branch will be open from 5am until 11.55pm. McDonald’s has more than 1,400 branches in the UK and Ireland, of which around 80% of these are franchised.
This means they can set their own hours, and so opening times do vary – with this in mind, you may find the odd branch does decide to close or shorten its opening hours this Monday.
You should check the opening times of your nearest McDonald’s by using its restaurant locator tool to avoid disappointment.
It comes as McDonald’s announced it is launching two new breakfast items as part of a major shake-up. The fast food chain is trialling a new Breakfast Savers Menu across the north of England.
It includes a brand new Sausage Sandwich (£1.99) and a savers version of the popular Bacon Roll (£2.19). Some selected McDonald’s restaurants across the North will also offer a new Breakfast Bundle Deal which comes with a Saver Bacon Roll or Sausage Sandwich, plus a drink, for £2.99.
The new Breakfast Savers Menu is being trialled in 332 restaurants. It will also feature fan favourites such as the Cheesy Bacon Flatbread and Hash Browns.
