MCDONALD’S has made a major change to its breakfast menu and customers have been left devastated.
The fast food giant has axed its long-time favourite Breakfast Roll from the menu.

The Breakfast Roll first arrived on menus in 2020 and has remained on there since then.
But a McDonald’s spokesperson confirmed to The Sun the breakfast item was quietly axed earlier this month.
The Breakfast Roll had included smoky bacon, a juicy sausage patty, melted cheese and a free-range egg, all served in a warm white roll.
You could then choose to have it with either ketchup or brown sauce.
McDonald’s fans on Reddit said they’d been left gutted by the move.
One wrote: “Removing the breakfast bagel? An act of aggression. Removing the triple cheeseburger? A show of power.
“But now removing the breakfast roll… this is surely an act of war?”
Another replied: “What, there getting rid of the breakfast roll? Nooooo (sic).”
A third added: “It’s gone! I realised this morning when I popped into one. So sad.”
A fourth replier joked: “This country is ruined……”
A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “We’re always evolving our menu with our customers in mind to keep things fresh and exciting.”
However, there is a brand new item that has replaced the Breakfast Roll.
Now Maccas fans can get hold of the Sausage Sandwich, which has been added to menus nationwide after a trial in the North of England.
The morning meal comes with a pork patty and melted cheese, and can be topped with either ketchup or brown sauce.
It will cost £1.99, although you can get a selected drink with the sandwich as a bundle deal for £2.99.
The new item will be on the Saver Menu alongside six other breakfast choices including hash browns (£1.59), porridge pots (£1.69) and apple slices (79p).
Other items on the list include a cheesy bacon flatbread for £1.99 and apple or orange Tropicana juice for £1.89.
Remember, if you want to try the new sandwich you’ll need to head to your local McDonald’s before 11am as that’s when breakfast is served until.
The fast food chain has made plenty of changes to its breakfast menu in the past.
Last year, it brought back the popular Breakfast Wrap after it was axed in January 2022.
Luckily for fast food fans, it’s still on the menu for now.
More menu changes
Maccas changes its menu every few weeks to keep things fresh for customers.
Its latest menu drop was on September 10, when it brought back favourites including the Philly Cheese Stack and Mozzarella Dippers.
Plus, the Chicken Big Mac was added to the menu.
But other items were axed, including the Chilli Cheese Bites, Steakhouse Stack, Big Tasty and Spicy Chicken McNuggets.
Meanwhile the Loaded Caramel McFlurry was added to the menu – but was quickly taken off again just days later.
A McDonald’s spokesperson said at the time the ice cream dessert was removed because of a “quality control issue”.
It came after some social media users claimed they had cracked their teeth on hard pieces inside the dessert.
The Loaded Caramel McFlurry was quickly replaced by the Toffee Crisp McFlurry – a returning favourite,
Sun that it’s been replaced by a returning favourite.
How to save 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.
The chain has recently sent out reminders to app users to fill out their birthday details – otherwise they could miss out on birthday treats.
