The fast food chain, which has more than 1,200 restaurants in the UK, has said it had been hit with rising food and energy prices "like many other businesses" meaning they are pushing the cost onto their customers.

It is bad news for fans of chicken burgers and cheeseburgers alike

"We carefully review and adjust pricing to offer great value and quality.

"At the same time, we continue to work hard on how we can provide our customer's value where it matters most, with personalised offers and rewards through the MyMcDonald’s Rewards scheme."

The cost of living crisis has officially gone too far.
