McDonald’s launches new menu in time for half term with brand new burger

Rain or shine, we all love a good Maccies, don't we?

It's one of the most exciting parts of the year when McDonald's switches up its menu.

Diners can enjoy an array of new food, sweet treats and even dips with the latest menu makeover.

They've truly been spoiling us lately with their announcements, including the latest changes to the iconic Happy Meal, a meal deal for as low as £3, and 'Surprize Fries' - which means that by buying medium or large fries, customers can win a range of prizes, including festival tickets, limited-edition merch and cash, simply by peeling a sticker on the box.

As of today (29 May), McDonald's has added eight new items to their menu in time for half term.

This includes the Chicken Sharebox - which has six chicken selects, 12 chicken nuggets and four dips - for £10.59. Or you can opt for the nine Chicken Select Sharebox for £8.49.

Fan favourite mozzarella bites are hitting the menu again at the cost of £2.39.

As for sweet treats, Maccies customers can enjoy a Skittles or Galaxy Caramel McFlurry for £2.19, or a Galaxy Chocolate and Raspberry Pie for £1.99.

While these are all exciting additions, people are most excited for the brand new burger.

To make way for it, Maccies have slashed a number of well-loved items from their menu.

This includes The Chicken Big Mac, the Quarter Pounder Deluxe, the Cheese & Herb Melts, and the Galaxy Chocolate Mini McFlurry.

Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news.

But the new burger, named 'The Hat Trick' is sure to make up for our loss.

The hamburger, the name of which of course lends to when a footballer scores three goals in a row, is made up of three beef patties, two slices of cheese, grilled onions, mustard and ketchup - within a glazed sesame seed bun.

The Hat Trick medium meal will cost £7.69, or £5.89 as a single item.

It sounds delicious so one thing we know for sure is that we can't wait to try.

And what better way to get into the upcoming football spirit thanks to the Euros?

As if that wasn't enough, Maccies just got a whole lot saucier.

The humble BBQ and ketchup options are being joined by Garlic Mayo as well as Sweet and Smoky BBQ.

Anybody else's stomach rumbling?
