Calling all fast food fans – the disappointment of missing McDonald’s breakfast hours could soon be a thing of the past.

The fast food chain has announced it is extending its breakfast service for the first time in nearly 25 years, as part of a new UK trial.

Starting from today, June 12, diners in select outlets will be able to pick up dishes on the breakfast menu as late as 11am – half an hour longer than the usual 10.30am cut-off.

The experiment will also change the way customers order on Uber Eats. Most currently have to order breakfast dishes by 10.15am, although those nearby the test restaurants can now order until 10.45am and, if the trial is successful, this will be rolled out across the country.

Sadly, the majority of diners will have to wait to test out the new timings though – there are just seven chains trialling the new opening hours over a six-week period.

Unfortunately for diners in London, all of the chains taking part are in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight – just in time for the festival. The list of participating branches is below:

  • Commercial Road, Portsmouth
  • Isle of Wight
  • Cosham, Portsmouth
  • IoW – Brading Road
  • Ocean Retail Park, Portsmouth
  • Fratton Park, Portsmouth
  • North Harbour, Portsmouth

Only time will tell whether the new hours will be rolled out nationwide – watch this space. It’s not the first new idea McDonald’s have been testing this year. The chain also introduced vegan McNuggets and the first ever veggie Happy Meal.
