McDonald's announces date for McMuffin return

42 restaurants join the pilot.

McDonald’s is set to pilot the return of the McMuffin in 42 restaurants in the UK and Ireland, the company confirmed in an update.

“As with our main menu, we will have a limited menu at breakfast but we’ve kept the classics – Hash Browns, McMuffins and Pancakes all return - but unfortunately, whilst adhering to social distancing guidelines, we are unable to serve porridge, bagels and our Breakfast Wrap,” McDonald’s UK & Ireland CEO Paul Pomroy said, citing fewer people in their outlets’ kitchens.

Opening hours of their reopened restaurants vary, the chain added.

Currently, it has 1,000 restaurants open for Drive-thru or McDelivery, with more than 200 additional restaurants reopening on Wednesday, 24 June.
