McDonald's launching ‘iconic' new burger that has never been seen before in UK
McDonald's is launching an 'iconic' new menu item this month that has never been available before in the UK. The fast food chain is introducing the new Big Arch burger on June 18.
Maccies says the burger, which has been on sale before in Canada, Portugal and Germany, is made with two juicy 100% British and Irish beef patties, topped with white cheddar cheese slices, crispy onions, fresh onions, shredded lettuce, crunchy pickles, and smothered in signature Big Arch sauce.
The burger on its own costs £7.99, or you'll pay £9.99 for a medium meal with a side and drink. Keep in mind do vary from restaurant to restaurant.
Thomas O'Neill, Head of Menu at McDonald's UK&I, said: 'A new iconic burger needs an equally iconic sauce, and we've taken it up a notch with the Big Arch. This isn't just about size, it's about flavour.
'With double layers of beef, crispy onions, and the hero of the build, our signature sauce, every bite is crafted to hit the spot to satisfy serious McDonald's hunger. Big, bold, and packed with serious deliciousness.'
It comes after McDonald's added new items to its menu last month, including the return of the McSpicy X Frank's RedHot. The McSpicy X Frank's RedHot contains a chicken breast in a hot and crispy coating, topped with lettuce, cheese made with Emmental, jalapenos, slivered onions, and Frank's RedHot Mayo.
You can also buy a separate pot of Frank's RedHot Mayo dip. The Steakhouse Stack has also rejoined the menu, alongside the Biscoff McFlurry and Biscoff Frappe.
Maccies has also launched a new Frozen Cherry Lemonade, which is described as a tangy frozen lemonade with a sweet cherry flavoured swirl.
Separately, McDonald's has also confirmed it is launching two new breakfast items next week as part of a major shake-up. The fast food chain is trialling a new Breakfast Savers Menu across the north of England.
It includes a brand new Sausage Sandwich and a savers version of the popular Bacon Roll. Some selected McDonald's restaurants across the North will also offer a new Breakfast Bundle Deal which comes with a Saver Bacon Roll or Sausage Sandwich, plus a drink.
The new Breakfast Savers Menu will be trialled in 332 restaurants from May 7. It will also feature fan favourites such as the Cheesy Bacon Flatbread and Hash Browns.

'Home-grown' rocket company Skyrora in UK space sector first
Skyrora chief executive Volodymyr Levykin said the journey to the granting of the licence by the UK Civil Aviation Authority had been "a long but ultimately rewarding one", adding that he was grateful to authorities for their due diligence in ensuring all launch activities are "held to the highest of standards". Read more: 'It is essential that the UK has sovereign launch capabilities," he added. "Not only to unlock commercial activity for companies that need to access space and to help achieve the government's objectives for becoming a global player in the space sector, but also from a strategic defence consideration. "Skyrora is proud to be leading efforts that enable launch activity from the UK and we look forward to achieving a reliable commercial launch programme that benefits us all.' Set up in 2017, the Skyrora rocket business and its parent company Skyrora Ventures are owned by Mr Levykin and "family and friends" who have financed operations to date. The company's SkyLark L vehicle will carry payloads of up to 50 kilograms on behalf of commercial operators such as telecommunications providers. The company has not given an expected date for its first journey into space, but noted that SkyLark L is "operationally ready for launch". Skyrora chief executive Volodymyr Levykin says sovereign UK launch capability is essential (Image: Syyrora) 'Granting a home-grown company, Skyrora, its launch licence is a major milestone for our space sector and our nation," said Rob Bishton, chief executive of the CAA. "Our work as the UK's space regulator is enabling the burgeoning launch industry to safely grow, bringing new jobs and investment with it.' It has been estimated that by 2030, the international market for launch, satellite, payload and space data services will be worth $1 trillion (£772 billion) annually. Scotland aims to capture about £4bn of this. "This launch licence isn't just one giant leap for Skyrora – it's a massive boost to the whole of Scotland and the wider UK's space sector," Scottish Secretary Ian Murray said. "Becoming the first British company to manufacture and send a rocket into space from the UK will be a hugely significant moment. I'm very proud that Scotland is at the forefront of such pioneering technology and I look forward to blast off from SaxaVord Spaceport in Shetland."

Hampshire Premium Bonds winners announced for August 2025
People from across Southampton and Hampshire & the Isle of Wight have come out as winners in this month's August draw, with people earning between £1,000 and £100,000. The draw is held by National Savings and Investments (NS&I), with the winners being created randomly. With that said, here are the bondholders from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight named in this month's draw. What is a Premium Bond? Hampshire Premium Bond winners in August 2025 Every month, only two winners take home £1million, but there are still plenty of other prizes available from the bonds. In the prize draw, the county is broken down into Southampton and Hampshire & the Isle of Wight, and no one won a £1 million prize. However, two people won £100,000 with the bond numbers 479TF079874 and 402BA686298. The prize money won was split up in the county like so: £100,000 - 2 £50,000 - 5 £25,000 - 12 £10,000 - 38 £5,000 - 73 £1,000 - 682 The overall total won by Hampshire and the Isle of Wight residents in August 2025 was £2,177,000. How to see if you've won on Premium Bonds You can check your account via the NS&I website. Prize draws are conducted every month and prizes of up to £1,000,000 are given away. To find out if you have ever won a Premium Bonds prize, you will need to dig out your holder's information and head over to the prize checker. You will need your holder's number, which you can find on your bond record or in the app. You can also use your NS&I number, which you should be able to find on any communication about your bonds. How are Premium Bonds winners decided? According to the NS&I website, they use a system called ERNIE (Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment) to decide the winners. Recommended reading: It is "powered by quantum technology, which uses light" to help it produce enough random numbers for a monthly prize draw in around 20 minutes. The website adds: "Using light, ERNIE 5 generates random numbers that are matched against eligible Bond numbers to determine the lucky winners. "And because it's random, every Bond number, whether it has 8, 9, 10 or 11 digits, has a separate and equal chance of winning a prize."

Brit investors face triple-whammy of taxes at Budget, Tories warn
Last month, the Chancellor opened the door to painful tax hikes after a week of Labour chaos Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TRIPLE-whammy of taxes could hit British investors at the Budget, the Tories warn. Measures such as removing a tax break on shares, scrapping the £500 tax-free dividend allowance and increasing dividend tax rates will dent confidence, they say. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 'The Government needs to urgently rule out these tax hikes on savers and investors', warned Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride Credit: Getty An estimated five million people would be dragged into paying dividend tax if that allowance went. Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride said: 'The Government needs to urgently rule out these tax hikes on savers and investors before speculation causes further economic harm.' Labour last night laughed off the jibes. A spokesman said: 'They have some brass neck. They've still not apologised for the damage caused by the Liz Truss mini-Budget.' READ MORE ON TAXES NIGE TURF WAR Nigel Farage urges Chancellor not to hike gambling taxes for horse racing Last month, The Sun reported that Brits were bracing for higher taxes after Rachel Reeves warned Labour's welfare U-turns would come at a 'cost" - with experts saying the bill could hit £40 billion. The Chancellor opened the door to painful tax hikes after a week of Labour chaos, which saw her break down in the Commons and lose control of key spending plans. In her first public comments since the dramatic scenes in Parliament, Ms Reeves admitted the Government's retreat on welfare cuts had blown a multi-billion-pound hole in the public finances — and taxpayers would be left to fill the gap. Pressed on whether she would raise taxes, she said: 'Of course there is a cost to the welfare changes that parliament voted through this week and that will be reflected in the budget. 'But I'm also very, very clear that [the] stability that we've been able to return to the economy, which has enabled the Bank of England to cut interests rates four times, is only possible because of the fiscal discipline which is underpinned by the fiscal rules. "And we'll be sticking to those because they're absolutely vital for the living standards of working people and also the costs that businesses face.'
