Exact date McDonald’s will bring back menu items which hasn’t been seen in almost a decade 

MCDONALD’S will bring back a menu item which has not been seen in almost a decade in just a matter of days.

The home of the Golden Arches soon start selling its iconic McRib burger across its 1,300-plus sites in the UK.

From October 16, foodies will be able to get their hands on the burger which has not been on UK menus since 2015.

The savoury treat was first added to the main UK McDonald’s menu in 1981 but was taken off just four years later.

It comes with a boneless pork patty covered in barbecue sauce and topped with onions and pickles and will cost £4.49 as an individual item.

Or punters will be charged £6.19 if they include it as part of a medium extra value meal.

The news comes as social media has been awash with rumours about whether or not McDonald’s would bring the much-loved burger back.

Maccies teased the return of its McRib with a test notification on the McDonald’s rewards app, sending customers into a frenzy.

It is still unclear how long the burger will be on McDonald’s menu.

However, limited-edition foods like this are usually on sale for about six weeks

News of the McRib’s return comes just days after Maccies confirmed another new menu item.

The fast-food giant will add mini hashbrowns to its breakfast menu on the same day.

They will be a twist on the usual full-sized savoury snacks already available on the breakfast menu.

From October 16, customers will be able to bag a five-pack of the mini hashbrowns costing £1.49.

If you’ve still got room for more, a 15-piece sharebox will set customers back £2.99.

While a single regular-size hashbrown costs £1.19.

But do remember that prices do vary from restaurant to restaurant so make sure you double check before you pay.

The mini hashbrowns join a host of other McDonald’s menu items, including the McMuffin and Cheesy Bacon Flatbread.

It has been a while since the burger and fries specialist has shaken up its morning menu.

Back in 2022, the home of the Big Mac added mini potato waffles to its breakfast offering.

While they were a big hit with fans, they weren’t around for very long.

It is not yet clear if the hashbrowns will become a permanent menu item, so if you want to give them a go you might want to be quick.
