McDonald's is set to launch a significant menu shake-up across its UK restaurants this Tuesday, February 3, introducing seven new items that promise to excite fast food enthusiasts. This latest refresh brings a mix of innovative creations and returning favourites, though it also means bidding farewell to some current secret menu offerings.
What's New on the McDonald's Menu?
The headline addition is the Tikka Chicken Wrap, a completely new offering for the UK market. Available with either crispy or grilled chicken, it features tikka mayo and a mango and lime chutney, layered with onions, lettuce and cucumber, all wrapped in a soft, toasted tortilla.
For those with a sweet tooth, two new McFlurry varieties are arriving: the Milkybar Crispy Cookie McFlurry and the Munchies Vanilla Cheesecake McFlurry. The Milkybar version combines white chocolate coated crispy balls with cookie flavour chocolate sauce, while the Munchies option mixes chocolate coated biscuit balls with cheesecake flavour vanilla sauce.
Additional New Items and Returning Favourite
The menu expansion also includes a Brownie Pie, featuring a gooey brownie filling wrapped in crisp, baked pastry, and a Doughnut Crumble Latte that incorporates doughnut‑flavour syrup, topped with cream and a sprinkle of doughnut crumb.
Making a welcome return is the Philly Cheese Stack, which packs two beef patties, cheese sauce, cheese slices, grilled and crispy onions and pickles into a toasted bun.
Pricing Details for New Menu Items
- Tikka Chicken Wrap - £2.49 on Wednesdays and Saturdays (as Wrap of the day), otherwise £3.79; £6.09 with a Medium Meal

Items Leaving the Menu
This menu refresh comes with some casualties. The current secret menu items, including the Surf N' Turf burger and Apple Pie McFlurry, will only be available until Monday, February 2. The Surf N' Turf combines two beef patties with a crispy white fish fillet patty, plus cheese, onions, pickles, mustard and ketchup.
Also disappearing is the Chicken Cheeseburger, which features both a beef patty and a crispy coated chicken patty with cheese, onions, pickles, mustard, and ketchup. Other secret menu items making their exit include the Espresso Milkshake (a thick vanilla milkshake served with an espresso shot) and Chilli Cheese Bites with tangy tomato sauce.
Loyalty Scheme Changes
This menu announcement follows recent news that has disappointed some McDonald's regulars. The fast food chain is implementing changes to its MyMcDonald's Rewards loyalty scheme, increasing the number of points needed for certain free items.
Currently, customers need 5,500 points for items including a Big Mac, Double Fillet of Fish, Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin and Nine Chicken Nuggets. From March 17, this will increase to 6,500 points for the same rewards. Customers earn 100 points for every £1 spent at McDonald's.
The new menu items will be available at McDonald's restaurants across the United Kingdom from Tuesday, February 3, offering both novelty and nostalgia for the chain's devoted following.
