MCDONALD’S is shaking up its menu in days with three new items making their first ever appearance.
The fast food chain is adding six items to its offering from January 6, after details were leaked online last week.
The new items and prices are below:
- new Katsu crispy or grilled wrap – £3.49 single item, £5.29 with a meal and £1.99 on Wednesday

The calories for each of the new items are yet to be revealed.
The Katsu wraps include a choice of crispy or grilled chicken coated in Katsu sauce with crispy onions, crunchy cucumber and fresh lettuce, all wrapped in a toasted tortilla.
The new wraps have already caught the attention of customers online, with many saying they can’t wait to try one.
Meanwhile, the BBQ Ranch Stack burger combines two 100% beef patties with cheese made with Emmental, lettuce, bacon, crispy onions, creamy ranch and sweet BBQ sauce, in a glazed sesame seed bun.
The Milkyway McFlurry combines soft serve dairy ice cream swirled with milk chocolate stars and malt flavoured pieces topped with chocolate sauce.
The BBQ Smokehouse McCrispy is also back, after last being on menus in September, when it was £5.59 or £7.49 as part of a meal.
The burger is made up of chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating with a smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion, lettuce, all in a sourdough style sesame topped bun.
Meanwhile, the Mozzarella Dippers are also back on menus from next month after being ditched in October.
The dippers combine mozzarella and emmental cheese with a smoky caramelised onion-flavoured breadcrumb coating.

The new burger is a twist on the classic McCrispy, with additional condiments like crispy onions, cheese slices and a pink pickled onion chutney.

How do I find my nearest McDonald’s?
If you’re planning on taking a trip to McDonald’s, you’ll want to know where your nearest branch is.
The chain has a restaurant locator tool on its website you can use to find your nearest one – and check what time it opens.
Bear in mind that McDonald’s serves breakfast every day until 11am.
After that, the menu switches to the normal menu serving meals such as burgers, chicken nuggets and more.
How to save money 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.
