MCDONALD’S revamped its menu on Wednesday, reintroducing several fan favourites.

Alongside these returning items, the chain launched a new limited-edition drink and brought back its popular Biscoff Frappe, which first debuted last year.

The fast-food giant has replaced its Strawberry Frozen Lemonade with a new Frozen Cherry Lemonade.

Priced at £2.99, the drink is described as a tangy frozen lemonade blended with a delightfully sweet cherry-flavoured swirl.

However, customers have been divided, taking to social media to share their opinions on the drink.

One person said on Facebook: “I had it yesterday and it was vile.

“It reminded me of medicine.

“I loved the strawberry one though, bring that back.”

Another said: “No thanks, gutted the strawberry lemonade was taken off.”

A third customer said: “I’m not a fan it is sour and not nice.”

However, not every customer is unhappy with the drink.

One person said: “Best thing for the summer this drink is.”

Another added: “Had one yesterday, it reminded of a sherbet sweet but it was nice.

“Would be lovely and refreshing on a hot day”

It is not uncommon for the fast-food giant to shake up what is sold across its 1,300 UK restaurants to make way for new items.

Menus are often updated every few months or in line with certain events such as Easter or Christmas.

And just because an item is discontinued does not mean it is gone for good.

What else hit menus this week?

McDonald’s has brought back back the highly-anticipated Biscoff McFlurry and Biscoff Frappe.

A regular tub of the new McFlurry will cost £2.29, while a smaller one comes in at £1.69.

And the Biscoff Frappe – a vanilla flavour base blended with ice and biscuit crumb, topped with caramel cream and more biscuit bits – costs £3.09.

On the savoury side, McDonald’s has brought back the McSpicy x Frank’s RedHot burger and the Steakhouse Stack, both priced at £5.99.

The McSpicy features a hot and crispy chicken breast, paired with lettuce, jalapeños, onions, cheese, and Frank’s RedHot Mayo, all served in a toasted sesame seed bun. It’s also available as a meal for £7.99.

Meanwhile, the Steakhouse Stack boasts two juicy beef patties, cheddar cheese, crispy and red onions, fresh lettuce, and a rich black peppercorn sauce, all tucked into a glazed sesame bun.

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.

How do I find my nearest McDonald’s?

The chain has a restaurant locator tool on its website you can use to find your nearest one – and check what time it opens.

McDonald’s locator also lets you know when its stores open.

As McDonald’s stops serving breakfast as early as 11am, you’ll need to get there before the chain switches to its regular menu.
