You can click any menu item with a solid border to know the detailed information of that item. Details of the remaining items will be added soon.

McMuffins

Wraps, Rolls and Flatbreads

Hash Browns and Sides

Pancakes and Porridge

You cannot make a meal out of these items. The porridge and its different variants are not available in Northern Ireland and some other locations. So you need to confirm their availability at the restaurant near you.

Breakfast Drinks

McDonald’s breakfast menu items mentioned above can be ordered only in the morning during breakfast hours. Apart from these items, you can also order drinks and sweet snacks as those are available 24 hours on McDonald’s menu.

Note: The prices of McDonald’s items vary from location to location. The price range mentioned in this article is based upon a sample of data collected by us, and we believe that the prices at the majority of the restaurants fall in this range. However, there might be some locations where the prices are out of the mentioned range. It is, therefore, suggested to verify the prices at your nearest location before taking any decision.

Breakfast Meals

A breakfast meal consists of

• One main item such as McMuffin, wrap, roll, flatbread etc.
• One regular drink
• One side item such as hash browns or pineapple stick etc.

The benefit of ordering a meal is that you get three items at less price as compared to what you’d pay if you ordered them individually. For instance, if we take an example of a particular restaurant, ordering one sausage & egg McMuffin (£4.29), one hash brown (£1.99), and one regular white coffee (£2.19) individually will cost you £8.47, but you get all of these items in a meal for £5.89 only. You can say that it is a sort of deal McDonald’s offers to its customers.

Breakfast Meals Prices

Just like the prices of individual menu items, the prices of breakfast meals also vary from location to location. According to our data, you have to pay £1.60 to £2.10 in addition to the price of the main breakfast menu item for a breakfast meal. Our data also shows a strange trend: this additional amount to make a meal tends to be at the higher end in those restaurants which charge less for individual items, and it tends to be at the lower end in the restaurants which are expensive for individual items.

Remember that you can also add some items to your meal which increases the price of the meal. For details, see customizing breakfast menu below.

Breakfast Meals Under 400 kcal

For those people who prefer to have breakfast that does not have high calories, McDonald’s has two breakfast meals which are under 400 kcal.

• Egg & Cheese McMuffin Meal
• Muffin with Jam Meal

Egg & Cheese McMuffin Meal

Muffin with Jam Meal

This meal is comprised of 257 kcal by default. The breakdown of calories is given in the table below:

Instead of Americano, you can also choose to have Regular White Coffee (54 kcal) or Regular Tea (6 kcal). Similarly, you can also replace pineapple stick with side salad (18 kcal) or carrot sticks (34 kcal) as well.

Customizing Breakfast at McDonald’s

In McDonald’s breakfast menu, you can either have individual items or you can order a meal. In both cases, you can customize your breakfast in several ways.

Customizing meals as a whole

Let’s talk about the meal first. You can customize your meal by choosing any drink and any breakfast side item. Furthermore, you can also add more side items such as hash browns to your meal, and if you like, you can also choose a large drink instead of a regular one.

Remember that if choose to have more hash browns, it will also increase your meal price. However, it will still be less as compared to what you have to pay for ordering it individually. For instance, in one of the restaurants, you’d have to pay £0.99 only for an additional hash brown, but if you order it as an individual item, it will cost you £1.99. Similarly, if you prefer to have a large drink, the price of the meal will increase accordingly.

Customizing individual menu items

You can also customize breakfast individual menu items including those which are part of a meal by removing or adding some ingredients. In the majority of breakfast menu items, you can remove ingredients, and in some items, you can also choose to add some ingredients such as cheese, egg and sausage patty etc. according to your taste. However, remember that adding ingredients will cause the price to increase.

Let me add here that if you remove any ingredient because it contains some allergen, it is still not guaranteed by McDonald’s that your order will be completely allergen-free.

Another thing is that if you order at a restaurant, you can request staff members to make hash browns a little more brown to get a more crispy taste. Similarly, you can ask them to make other minor adjustments according to your own taste.

McDonald’s Breakfast Hours

In 24-hour restaurants, McDonald’s breakfast starts at 5 am. In other restaurants, it starts when the restaurant opens, and this time varies from location to location. According to our data, the time varies from 5 am to 9 am.

In all restaurants across the UK, McDonalds stop serving breakfast at 11 am. And if you want to order breakfast through delivery apps, the cutoff timing is 10.45 am or 10.50 am

Remember that these timings are for breakfast menu items only. The items which accompany breakfast such as drinks and sweet snacks are available 24 hours.

Prices Variation of McDonald’s Breakfast Menu Items & Its Reasons

Our data shows that the prices of most items on McDonald’s breakfast menu vary greatly from location to location. It does not mean that it is different in different cities; rather it varies from location to location within a city. It is also common to have different prices in different restaurants that are only a few kilometres apart.

One may wonder why the prices vary to such a large extent from location to location. Well, there are multiple factors which make this price variation completely random. And let me tell you that it is not necessary that if you are getting one item at a lower price from a restaurant, you will get all items at a lower price in that restaurant.

One of the biggest reasons for price variation is that most McDonald’s restaurants are franchises, so they are independent in choosing the prices. The factors that affect the setting of the price list include the rent or cost of commercial property at that location, labour costs, local taxes, transportation costs, competitors’ prices in that location, profit margins of the restaurant owners, and the cost of particular ingredients of the menu items.
