There are plenty of options on the morning menu, from hefty Egg McMuffins to pancakes and porridge.
Many people, however, are disappointed when they arrive too early or too late to take benefit of it. However, there are a slew of new menu options that could compensate for the loss of McMuffins.

What time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast?
McDonald’s stops serving breakfast at 11am at all restaurants across the UK.
Breakfast was formerly cut-off at 10.30 a.m., but the company expanded the hours in November 2019.
McDonald’s claims that this is due to the fact that they are unable to cook both the breakfast and the main menu at the same time.
The company website explains this: ‘Items on our breakfast menu are cooked slightly differently and at a different temperature from items on our main menu.
‘This means we don’t have enough space in our kitchens to accommodate the cooking and preparation of our breakfast and main menus at the same time.
‘The 11am cut off enables us to accommodate our breakfast lovers, whilst allowing the customers who enjoy our main menu to get their food before 11:30am.’
