IT’S BACK AND IT’S HERE TO STAY! 🍔McDONALD’S UK & IRELAND CONFIRMS PERMANENT RETURN OF THE BIG ARCH®

  • The Big Arch® is making a comeback on Monday, 5th January.
  • The Big Arch® returns as a permanent addition to the McDonald’s UK and Ireland menu
  • Because powering through January deserves something delicious.
  • An iconic sauce in a pot? Absolutely! Big Mac® Sauce now available as a dip?!

The Big Arch® is making its grand comeback across the UK and Ireland, and this time it’s here to stay.

From Monday, 5th January, fans can enjoy this modern-day taste sensation in restaurants and via McDelivery®.  After its blockbuster debut last summer, the Big Arch® was too tasty to stay away – so it’s now a permanent part of the menu.

January can feel long, so why not make it taste better? The Big Arch® is here to help you power through the start of the year with big flavour and serious satisfaction.

The burger features two 100% British and Irish beef patties topped with white cheddar cheese slices, crispy onions, fresh onions, shredded lettuce, crunchy pickles, and smothered in that renowned delicious Big Arch® sauce – rich, creamy, and packed with that unmistakable McDonald’s flavour. All held together in a poppy and sesame seed-topped bun. 

The Big Arch® isn’t just a burger; it’s built for those serious hunger moments that deserve more. Whether you’re tackling a long day or celebrating the end of a busy week, the Big Arch® is the perfect way to make any moment bigger, bolder, and more delicious.

Ben Fox, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer, UK and Ireland, said: The Big Arch® is back for good. When we first introduced it, customers voted with their feet and made it clear they loved the unmistakably McDonald’s taste, the generous use of ingredients and the iconic Big Arch sauce.  This a burger that has earned its permanent place on the menu alongside the Big Mac.

Available nationwide from Monday, 5th January in McDonald’s restaurants across the UK and Ireland and via McDelivery®.
