As part of the menu update, McDonald’s fans will say goodbye to several items this Wednesday.
Among those leaving is the popular Chicken Big Mac, which has appeared on menus twice since it was launched in 2022.
The popular chicken patty, pickle, cheese and lettuce burger was brought back last March after disappearing from menus.
Fans will also be bidding farewell to the Philly Cheese Stack.

The burger featured two Irish beef patties with a cheese sauce, two cheese slices, onions and pickles.
It was first launched in October 2023 but left the menu at the end of November in a blow to fans.
The popular Mozzarella Dippers and Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry will also be leaving restaurants.
That’s not all.

The latte was seen for the first time on September 4 and included a caramel blend of coffee.
McDonald's Taste Test
Here is the full list of items being axed from menus at 11am this Wednesday and their prices:
- Philly Cheese Stack - £5.29

- Mozzarella Dippers - £2.39
- Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry - £2.19

It is not uncommon for the fast-food giant to shake up what is sold across its over 1,450 stores to make way for new items.
Menus are usually updated every couple of months or in line with certain events such as Halloween or Easter.
How to save at McDonald's
You could end up being charged more for a McDonald's meal based solely on the McDonald's restaurant you choose.
Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30% cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other.
You can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 at any time by filling in a feedback survey found on McDonald's receipts.
The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey.
You'll then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 offer.
There are some deals and offers you can only get if you have the My McDonald’s app, so it’s worth signing up to get money off your meals.
The MyMcDonald’s app can be downloaded on iPhone and Android phones and is quick to set up.
You can also bag freebies and discounts on your birthday if you’re a My McDonald’s app user.
The chain has recently sent out reminders to app users to fill out their birthday details - otherwise they could miss out on birthday treats.
McDonald's axed eight menu items in July, including the Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers, Double Big Mac and McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse.
The Milkybar Raspberry Ripple and Munchies Cookie Dough McFlurrys were also pulled from menus.
At the same time, the Chicken Sharebox and Nine Chicken Selects Sharebox also disappeared from restaurants.
New menu items
McDonald’s often updates its menu and the latest items will be added on October 16.
Among the most anticipated items to make a reappearance is the McRib, which has not been seen in restaurants for almost 10 years.
The fast food giant is bringing back the pork-based burger across its UK restaurants from October 16.
The McRib was last seen on menus temporarily in early 2015 and combines a pork patty with BBQ sauce, pickles and onions.
Fans will be able to pick one up for £4.49 or for £6.19 as part of a medium extra-value meal.
We were one of the first to try it ahead of its launch.
The new menu also includes the never-before-seen Toasted Marshmallow Latte.
The coffee-based drink includes toasted marshmallow-flavoured syrup and dusting, which is perfect to satisfy any sweet tooth.
It is only available in a large size and costs £2.19.
For those who don’t like coffee, the fast-food chain is also introducing a hot chocolate version of this drink.
The Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate has the same flavoured syrup and dusting and costs £2.19.
Fans of the Mozzarella Dippers will be excited to try the brand-new Cheese Bites.
The mozzarella and emmental flavours hit your taste buds as soon as you bite into one of the bite-sized pieces.
This pairs perfectly with the smoky caramelised onion-flavoured breadcrumb coating.
They come in a portion of five for £2.49 or a sharebox of fifteen for £6.79.
McDonald’s will also upgrade one of its popular breakfast items this autumn.
The iconic McDonald’s Hash Brown will be available in a new mini size with the same crunchy exterior and soft fluffy inside.
The Sun got an exclusive invite to try them before anyone else ahead of their public debut this week.
They cost £1.49 for five or £2.99 for a sharebox of 15.
The home of the Big Mac will also bring back several fan favourites including the McCrispy Deluxe, Galaxy Caramel McFlurry and Toffee Apple Pie.
The burger was first seen on the McDonald’s menu last August and was a hit from the beginning.
It featured a crispy chicken fillet with shredded lettuce, Roma tomatoes and mayo.
The burger costs £5.99 on its own, or £7.79 as part of a medium meal.
Other popular treats making a comeback are the Halloween M&M’s McFlurry and Galaxy Caramel McFlurry.
They will cost £2.19 each, or £1.59 for the mini version.
Coming back for the second time is the Toffee Apple Pie.
The crispy pastry is filled with a spiced apple compote and toffee sauce and is complete with toffee pieces.
It costs £1.99.
Other launches
In August the home of the golden arches brought the famous Grimace Shake to the UK.
It was inspired by the fast food chain’s purple Grimace mascot and went viral stateside when it was launched last year.
The drink features a vibrant purple colour and has a blueberry-flavoured syrup blended with a creamy milkshake base.

A medium drink cost £2.69 while a large version was £2.99.
