New menu items as reported across McDonald’s UK restaurants in October 2026. Prices and availability can vary by restaurant and change over time — check the McDonald’s UK app before you visit. Last updated October 2026.
October is one of the busiest months on the McDonald’s UK menu: the Snack Wrap returns on the 6th, the World Menu Heist is still running, and a wave of new and returning items has landed alongside them.
Here’s everything new worth knowing about, with prices.
The headline returns
Big Tasty — from £7.09
The Big Tasty is back — the smoky-sauced burger with the cult following. The standard Big Tasty is around £7.09, with a bacon version at £7.89. It was also the star of last year’s Christmas menu, so consider this a warm-up.
Cheese Melt Dippers — £3.19 (£7.29 sharebox)
Back by overwhelming demand. Breaded cheese dippers with a rich tomato dip at £3.19, or a sharing box for £7.29. These never last long — if they’re on your list, don’t wait.
Cheesy McCrispy — £7.19
The McCrispy gets the cheese treatment: crispy chicken fillet with melted cheese at £7.19.
New and limited desserts
Terry’s Chocolate Orange McFlurry — £2.59 (mini £1.89)
The Chocolate Orange McFlurry is a proven crowd-pleaser, and the Terry’s version leans all the way in — chocolate orange pieces swirled through soft dairy ice cream. Mini version at £1.89.
Terry’s Chocolate Orange Pie — £2.49
Hot crispy pastry filled with chocolate orange — £2.49. Pies are always among the first items to sell out, so go early in the day.
Galaxy Caramel McFlurry — £2.59 (mini £1.89)
Galaxy caramel pieces in a McFlurry at £2.59 (mini £1.89) — a strong alternative if chocolate orange isn’t your thing.
Birthday Cake Donut — £2.29
A celebration in a donut at £2.29 — one for the sweet tooth.
Also on menus now
- Chilli Double Cheeseburger — £2.89
- McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse — £6.89
What’s ending soon
Don’t forget the World Menu Heist deadlines: the Big Rösti, Maple & Cheddar Chicken and Guava x Sprite Zero leave on 19 October, with the remaining international items (Mac & Cheese Triangles, Paprika McShaker Fries, S’mores McFlurry and more) following on 16 November.
The honest take
October’s menu is genuinely stacked — but it’s also the most crowded the menu gets all year, which means kitchens are juggling a lot. Go for the limited items first (Cheese Melt Dippers, Terry’s pie), because the permanent-adjacent items like the Big Tasty tend to stick around longer.
