McDonald's fans fume after 'best ever' menu item is quietly discontinued
The Chicken Bacon Caesar Wrap was a firm favourite among the fast food chains customers, after it launched in 2023.
The burger chain discontinued the item as part of a 'rotation' of its menu, which the brand is known to do every few months.
The popular wrap, which contained chicken breast strips, crispy onions, bacon and lettuce, wrapped in a soft tortilla, was removed from the menu earlier this month.
A McDonald's spokesperson told The Sun: 'As part of our regular wrap rotation, we've taken the Caesar wrap off the menu for now.
'We're always evolving our menu with our customers in mind to keep things fresh and exciting.'
McDonald's is known for shaking up the menu every few months and often items return.
That means there is a chance the Chicken Caesar Wrap could make a return at some point in the future.
It comes after McDonald's announced a new summer menu earlier this month with 12 tasty new additions including a fan favourite previously dubbed the 'best burger ever'.
Launching in McDonald's restaurants across the UK, the new menu is set to feature the Biscoff McFlurry and Frappe, a spicy burger as well as a Pokemon Happy Meals for the kids.
The ultra-popular Steakhouse Stack burger will make its much-anticipated return but it will set you back a little more than before.
It features two juicy 100 per cent British and Irish beef patties, with cheddar cheese, crispy onions, red onion, lettuce, and a savoury black peppercorn sauce served in a toasted sesame bun and will only be available for a limited time.
Originally launched in March 2023, it's been in and out of restaurants and instantly proved a huge hit with fast food fans.
The fast food giant last relaunched the much-loved Steakhouse Stack in January 2024 for £5.39, however, now fans will have to fork out £5.99 for the burger alone.
After the beloved burger was added to McDonald's menu last year, it created a buzz among customers.
One user took to X, formerly known as Twitter: 'Whoever Ronald McDonald employed to invent the steakhouse stack deserves the world'.
Another keen foodie said: 'The steakhouse stack was the best burger they've done in a long time'.
A different user went as far as claiming: 'The steakhouse stack is the best burger on the McDonald's menu and nothing will convince me otherwise '.
Another unlikely McDonald's fan agreed: 'The Steakhouse Stack from Maccies may just be the best burger I've ever consumed from that cesspit of a place wow'.
More took to the social media platform to express their love for the burger: 'McDonald's steakhouse stack...Jesus that's the best burger they've ever produced'.
'Steakhouse stack did not disappoint though' and 'Ngl the McDonald's Steakhouse Stack is very good'.
One even expressed: 'Petition to keep the Steakhouse Stack for good', about the limited-edition item.
But the Steakhouse Stack isn't the only exciting addition coming to McDonald's menus this summer.
As the weather warms up the refreshing Frozen Cherry Lemonade is sure to be a hit.
For £2.99 the icy beverage is a tangy frozen lemonade with a deliciously sweet cherry-flavoured swirl.
Sweet-toothed diners will be delighted by the return of the Lotus Biscoff McFlurry and Frappe.
The McFlurry, available in regular and mini sizes has crunchy Biscoff biscuit crumbs swirled into the soft serve.
The Frappe has a vanilla flavour base, blended with ice and Biscoff biscuit crumb which is then topped with caramel-flavoured cream and a Biscoff crumb dusting.
Customers who can handle the heat will want to try the McSpicy X Frank's RedHot burger with chicken breast in a hot and crispy coating, lettuce, cheese, jalapeños, slivered onions, and Frank's RedHot® Mayo all in a toasted sesame seed bun.
For those who only want a taste of spice, the Frank's RedHot Mayo is perfect to dip a chip in and will be available separately exclusively in UK McDonald's locations.
A new limited-edition Happy Meal will soon feature one of eight Dragon-Type Pokémon toys or one of two Little People Big Dreams books, 'I Can Make Amazing Music' or 'I Can Be a Wonderful Artist'.
The special Happy Meal toys will be available from May 7 until June 17 so you better be quick.
The limited-time Katsu Chicken One wrap with crispy or grilled chicken, coated in flavourful katsu sauce, onions, cucumber, and lettuce in a toasted tortilla is staying on the menu - and diners can get it for only £1.99 on Wednesdays.
Also remaining available to order are the Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers that come in a four-piece or Sharebox.

End to school rating system could play havoc with house prices, says Ofsted chief
House prices in England could be put in turmoil by the government's scrapping of headline school grades such as outstanding or inadequate, according to Ofsted's chief inspector. Speaking at an education conference, Martyn Oliver said parents and schools had become familiar with headline grades after 30 years of use, saying he knew of house prices shooting up by £15,000 after nearby schools were graded as outstanding. But from November schools and colleges will be given more nuanced 'report cards' with up to 11 different grades given to each institution. Oliver said: 'We're about to take that away and change it to something else that for more than three decades people were used to. I mean, here's the burning question: what's Rightmove going to do?' Rightmove and other property websites prominently display Ofsted's headline ratings for nearby schools on their listing. After laughs from the audience, Oliver said: 'It's a serious point. Ofsted is probably one of the best-known regulators and inspectors in the world, let alone in this country.' Asked what impact the new report cards would have on house prices, Oliver said: 'I don't know but I do know that where I live … we've got two special measures schools right where I live, and the house prices shot up. They were both in special measures, both went outstanding, and the house prices went up £15,000 in a week. It does make a difference. 'Parents obviously put a value on it.' Ofsted inspections and gradings were criticised after the suicide of headteacher Ruth Perry, after an Ofsted inspection downgraded her school from outstanding to inadequate. Perry's husband told her inquest that she worried local house prices would fall as a result of the downgrade. Doing away with headline school grades and bringing in report cards was a manifesto pledge by Labour at the last general election. From November, schools and colleges in England will get ratings issued on up to 11 different areas. Each area will be given one of five grades: exemplary, strong, secure, attention needed or causing concern. But there will be no overall or summary grade. So far, headteachers and teaching unions have been unimpressed by Ofsted's proposals, while Bridget Phillipson, the education secretary, is said to be monitoring the results closely. The chief inspector apologised for the rushed nature of the changes and consultations. He said: 'The system was saying Ofsted needed urgent and quick reform. And so I chose to put something out that I knew would be just the beginnings, just the foundations.' Daniel Kebede, the general secretary of the National Education Union, said: 'The mess Ofsted have got themselves into is entirely of Sir Martyn Oliver's making and it is disappointing that he has tried to pass the buck.'

Winter fuel: Lyons says 86% of NI pensioners to be eligible for payment

Lyons told BBC Radio Ulster's Evening Extra programme that his officials have assessed that the change in policy will mean 288,000 pensioners are in line for the payment."For comparison, across the UK as a whole about 80% of pensioners will retain [the payment], but it's slightly higher in Northern Ireland because of our lower incomes," he said. "This has been a mess from the start. The government have a lot to answer for on this. This has been handled horrifically by the government and has put a lot of worry and concern into the minds of our older people." Lyons had secured £17m from Stormont to provide a £100 one-off payment for those affected by the cut last said the Labour government's policy was misguided."I said from the start this would not have saved the government a lot of money," he said. "What we have seen is a number of pensioners reach out for help and realise they are eligible for pension credit, which is a passport for other benefits. So in that regard it'll actually cost the government more." What are winter fuel payments? Winter fuel payments were created in 1997 to help everyone above state pension age with their winter heating Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, announced last year that winter 2024 would be the first time pensioners in England and Wales would not be eligible for the Ireland was forced to follow were then restricted to those on benefits and pension credit.

Watchdog opens probe into ex-MP Geoffrey Robinson over spending rules
A parliamentary watchdog has opened an investigation into whether former Labour MP Geoffrey Robinson has breached spending rules. The probe by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) relates to whether the former MP for Coventry North West breached rules on spending for accommodation, office costs and staffing costs. Ipsa said it would not be publishing any further information until the investigation has concluded. Mr Robinson served as a Labour MP between 1976 and 2019. He was a minister in Tony Blair's first government but resigned in 1998 after it was revealed he had lent £373,000 to Peter Mandelson, who partly bought a home with the interest-free loan. The revelation also led Lord Mandelson to resign from his role as trade secretary at the time. The ex-MP also had a long career in business, having owned the New Statesman magazine until 2008, and serving as chairman of Jaguar Cars in the 1970s.
