One of the most requested comebacks in McDonald’s UK history is finally happening: the Snack Wrap returns to UK restaurants on Tuesday 6 October — a full decade after it was discontinued in 2016. It’ll be back on the Saver Menu at just £1.99.
Here’s what it costs, what’s changed, and how to make the most of it.
The comeback in brief
| Detail | What we know |
|---|---|
| Launch date | Tuesday 6 October, from 11am |
| Price | £1.99 (Saver Menu) |
| What’s inside | Tortilla wrap, Chicken Select, lettuce, black pepper mayo |
| Also in | Meal Deal Plus (as main or bonus side) |
The Snack Wrap first launched back in 2006, and its mix of crispy chicken, cool mayo and a soft tortilla made it a quiet Saver Menu favourite for a decade. Its 2016 disappearance left a gap the menu never quite filled — and fans have been asking for its return ever since.
What’s different this time
It’s not an identical revival. Two changes versus the original:
- No cheese — the 2006–2016 version came with cheese; the 2026 one doesn’t.
- Black pepper mayo — replacing the original cool mayo, so expect a bit more kick.
The core stays the same: a Chicken Select in a soft tortilla with lettuce. If you remember the original, you’ll notice the seasoning change — if you’re new to it, £1.99 makes it an easy first try.
The Meal Deal Plus angle
The Snack Wrap isn’t just a Saver Menu solo act — it’s also available as both a main and a bonus side in McDonald’s Meal Deal Plus promotion: a main, medium fries, a bonus side and a medium drink for £5.95. Two Snack Wraps in one £5.95 deal (one as the main, one as the bonus side) is a cheap way to double up.
Context: McDonald’s is on a comeback streak
This isn’t the first long-lost item to return. In October 2024, the McRib made a limited return to the UK menu after a ten-year absence — and it worked. The Snack Wrap arrives while the World Menu Heist promotion is still running (thirteen international items, with the first wave ending 19 October), so early October is a genuinely busy time on the UK menu.
Worth noting: McDonald’s often tests demand before deciding whether a return is permanent. If the Snack Wrap sells like the McRib did, there’s a chance it stays — another reason to try it early.
The honest take
At £1.99 it’s one of the cheapest ways to try something new on the menu, and the Meal Deal Plus combo makes it genuinely good value. The missing cheese may disappoint purists, but the black pepper mayo is arguably an upgrade. Go in the first week if you can — that’s when stock and kitchen familiarity are freshest, and before any launch-week hype clears the shelves.
