McDonald’s fans have been sharing their outrage online after spotting that the popular fast food chain has raised some of its prices recently.
Customers took to Reddit to claim that Fries, Happy Meals and the Wrap of the Day deal all cost more in July than they had in previous months.
But after taking a closer look at the menu, it seems these aren’t the only items that have had a price hike.
Chicken Nuggets, Big Macs and Wraps have all become a little more expensive, with noticeable changes to the Saver Menu as well.
How have McDonald’s prices changed?
In 2023, a Double Cheeseburger cost just £1.99, but by the end of 2024, it was £2.29. In July 2025 on the McDonald’s app it’s gone up again to £2.49.
Similarly, a Big Mac was £4.69 in June, but it’s now £4.89 on the McDonald’s app and £5.59 to order via Deliveroo.
A nine-piece box of Chicken McNuggets cost £5.09 to order from McDonald’s in June 2025, but in July the price has risen to £5.19 on the McDonald’s app and £6.19 on Deliveroo.
In terms of the Saver Menu, most items have become 10p more expensive, with Small Fries rising from £1.19 to £1.29, the Mayo Chicken going from £1.39 to £1.49 and the classic Hamburger now costing £1.29 instead of £1.19.
A small Americano or White Coffee has risen from £1.39 to £1.49 and small soft drinks are £1.29 as opposed to the previous price of £1.19.
The Mini Core McFlurry, like Smarties and Oreo have also gone up. They were £1.29 each, but according to the McDonald’s app they’re now £1.49.
Another noticeable price change is on the Katsu Wrap, which launched at McDonald’s UK in December 2024.
At the end of 2024 and start of 2025 it was £3.49 as a single item and £5.29 as part of a meal, but it’s now £3.79 on its own and £5.39 for a meal.
And yes, the Wrap of the Day deal has also gotten pricier, changing from £1.99 earlier this year to £2.29 now.
What do customers think of the price increases?
Taking to the r/McDonald’sUK sub on Reddit, fans of the chain claimed they were ‘done’ after seeing some of the new prices.
A user known as u/HawaiiNintendo815 said: ‘Chippy food is far better priced than McDonald’s and you’re getting way more food for just a bit more money.’
And u/ThrowawaySunnyLane responded to the Wrap of the Day change, proclaiming: ‘If that’s nationwide, I’m done with Maccies, that was my last little pleasure with them.’
Similarly, u/4kreso wasn’t happy, writing: ‘Damn we got two large Big Arch and two McFlurry as and was £32. Literally done with McDonald’s now. There’s no justification for these increases.’
While u/mr_xcoii commented: ‘First they took away Chili Double Cheeseburger & Triple Cheeseburger and now they increase every price, f**k McDonald’s actually.’
However, some users pointed out that the delivery price was always going to be higher when ordering fast food, with u/Virtual_Remote_8467 posting: ‘That’s the delivery price. You’re going to pay more, as they have to pay the delivery companies commission on the orders.’
While u/colawarsveteran was tired of people complaining, adding: ‘Why keep moaning. Just stop buying!’
Why have McDonald’s put prices up?
A McDonald’s spokesperson confirmed to Metro that prices had been reviewed recently and some had risen as a result.
They said: ‘We refuse to compromise on the quality of our ingredients – and that means when these ingredients cost more, we have to review our prices.
‘Raising some prices means we are able to stand by our quality commitments, like our beef patties being made from 100% British and Irish beef or our Chicken McNuggets being made from 100% chicken breast.
‘We know how much these mean to our customers. Providing value remains an absolute priority. We continue to work tirelessly to ensure that every customer has a value offering that works for them. This includes weekly app offers that sit alongside always on value offers like our incredibly popular Wrap of the Day, and of course, our Saver Menu.’
This comes after McDonald’s recently launched the brand new Double Filet-O-Fish, making a change to the iconic burger for the first time in 50 years.
And the fast food chain has also confirmed Squishmallows will be returning to Happy Meals in July.
