Breakfast (served until 10:30, or 11:00 for 24h restaurants)

  • Hash Brown –A delicious hash brown is great on its own or as a side at breakfast time. Crispy on the outside, they're what mornings were made for.
  • ToastedEnglish Muffin – like the ones used for McMuffins. Choose plain or with jam. Make sure to ask for no butter.
  • Soft Roll – used for bacon rolls, but with no bacon! Choose this plain.
  • Vegetable Bag – Carrot sticks, Cucumber Sticks Seasonal, there is usually only one veg bag.
  • Fruit Bag –Apple and Grape, Melon, or Pineapple. Seasonal, there is usually only one fruit bag.

Burgers

  • McPlant – A vegan burger made with a juicy plant-based patty co-developed with Beyond Meat featuring vegan sandwich sauce, ketchup, mustard, onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and a vegan alternative to cheese in a sesame seed bun. Vegan certified. If you miss the Double McPlant, you can now just order this with two patties inside.
  • Vegetable Deluxe – Red pesto veggie goujons with sandwich sauce and shredded lettuce in a sesame topped bun.

Nuggets and Selects

  • Veggie Dippers – A tasty blend of red pepper and sundried tomato pesto, all coated in crispy golden breadcrumbs and vegan certified by the Vegetarian Society.

Wraps

  • The Spicy Veggie One –Red pesto veggie goujons with spicy relish, tomato, lettuce, and red onion in a soft, toasted tortilla wrap.

Happy Meal

  • Veggie Dippers – A tasty blend of red pepper and sundried tomato pesto, all coated in crispy golden breadcrumbs and vegan certified by the Vegetarian Society.

Sides/Extras

  • French Fries “Our French Fries do not contain any animal extracts and are cooked in 100% vegetable oil which is non-hydrogenated.”
  • Side Salad – New freshly prepared salad with lettuce, cucumber, sliced tomato.
  • Vegetable Bag – Carrot sticks, Cucumber Sticks Seasonal, there is usually only one veg bag.
  • Fruit Bag –Apple and Grape, Melon, or Pineapple. Seasonal, there is usually only one fruit bag.

Desserts

  • Apple Pie – Crispy on the outside, deliciously hot and sweet on the inside, our Apple Pie is a McDonald's classic. The apple pie is made with vegan ingredients, however is fried in oil that has possible cross-contamination with the oil used to cook chicken and fish products during the oil filtration process.
  • Fruit Bag –Apple and Grape, Melon, or Pineapple. Seasonal, there is usually only one fruit bag.

Sauces

  • Tomato Ketchup
  • Sweet Chilli Sauce/Dip
  • BBQ Dip Don't get this confused with Smoky Barbeque Dip, which contains honey.
  • Sweet ‘n' Sour Dip
  • Sweet Curry Dip

Some McDonald's myths busted:

  • The Veggie Dippers are cooked in a dedicated fryer used only for this product and fries. Chicken and fish are cooked in completely separate fryers and beef and pork are not cooked in fryers.
  • “We use dedicated colour-coded tongs and trays for Veggie products and the procedures used to make the Spicy Veggie Wrap [Spicy Vegetable Deluxe] and Spicy Veggie Sandwich [Vegetable Deluxe] are approved by the Vegetarian Society.”

Please note: this is for UK McDonald's only! Around the world, ingredients change, and some products have meat as flavouring – e.g. fries and hash browns!
