McDonald's has launched the Big Arch burger in the UK and Ireland, as well as other shakeups to its menu. We wasted no time in trying the new addition, as well as everything else on the new menu.
This includes the Cheesy McCrispy, Toffee Crisp McFlurry, Halloumi Fries, and Toffee and Apple Pie. The Big Arch is clearly aiming to make a statement, with McDonald's bosses describing it as "iconic" and "unparalleled". But is it as good as some say? Here's what we thought.
The Big Arch, in short, is totally worth the hype. My partner and I both loved it, and he can't stop raving about it. The burgers were incredibly juicy, with two beef patties in each one, and the generous helping of Big Arch sauce was ridiculously good.
There's also slices of white cheddar, crispy and fresh onions, shredded lettuce, and crunchy pickles. It's as bold and delicious as it sounds.
However, it is a little on the expensive side for McDonald's. A Big Arch on its own will set you back £7.99, with a medium meal at £9.99 and a large for £10.79. While at first glance, it might seem a bit steep, you're getting a seriously stacked burger, and sides if you go for the meal.
Honestly, I've paid more at other places and still walked away hungry. Elsewhere the Cheesy McCrispy features a 100% chicken breast fillet with a crispy coating, topped with lettuce, crispy onions, tangy pink pickled onion chutney, bacon, Emmental cheese, and a rich deluxe cheese sauce.

The McDonald's burger was juicy

This burger was packed with flavour, and if I had to nitpick, I'd just want a little extra sauce. Other than that, it was really good, so good in fact. The chicken was juicy, tender, and fell apart easily, and there was plenty of bacon.

Next up we tried the Halloumi Fries. Our only complaint is we'd have happily eaten more than four, and they were especially tasty when dipped in the sweet chilli sauce.
My favourite, though, was the Toffee and Apple Pie. I split it with my partner, and I wish I'd kept it all to myself. The ultimate treat, it was rich, sweet, and packed with the gooey apple sauce, which was full of flavour. The warm, crispy outside made it even better.
A disappointment

The Toffee Crisp McFlurry, however, was less impressive. We didn't get the Toffee Crisp pieces and when our McFlurry arrived it was also only half full. is back but sadly, we didn't get the Toffee Crisp pieces.
When it arrived, our McFlurry was only half full too with just a bit of sauce.

Barmaid Carla Ingham had heard the rapper, 48, was out shopping with his 30-year-old wife from a workmate. She ended up filming the US star and his wife, who was wearing a black bodysuit and sliders. Carla said: 'My workmate Lucas first spotted him heading into the supermarket next door. 'So I started filming myself walking into the shop. 'I called out.' It's been reported that Kanye and Bianca are currently staying on the Spanish Island for six weeks. Bianca and Kanye, who were believed to have split after the Grammys stunt, seem to be going strong. The pair have been spotted all over Spain, with Kanye allegedly receiving treatment for his mental health in Mallorca after his vile antisemitic and hateful outbursts. Bianca Censori sticks her tongue in Kanye West's mouth during rare PDA moment in romantic sunset video--- The couple were last seen hand in hand at a McDonald's in Barcelona. Their sighting comes after it was revealed that Bianca has branched out with her own career path away from husband Kanye. The brunette beauty worked for Kanye while she was an architect at Yeezy in 2020, but hasn't been in the profession for the last few years. Instead, Bianca has posed around the world in shocking barely-there outfits, such as her naked dress at the Grammys in February. Kanye, who now goes by Ye, has been criticized for controlling his wife's every movement, but it looks like she's now going it alone. The U.S. Sun can reveal Bianca has set up her first U.S. company, Bianca Censori Inc. It was registered last month with the state of California. She is listed as CEO and secretary.
