If you are thinking of ordering in, there are dozens of items to choose from, including burgers, wraps and dippers.

Most of the drinks are classed as vegetarian too. Here's everything you can pick up if you're a vegetarian or vegan.

Bear in mind, the prices we've listed below may vary depending on your location.

​​McPlant burger

The McPlant burger contains a Beyond Meat patty with vegan cheese, salad and vegan burger sauce in a sesame seed bun.

It's Vegetarian Society vegan-approved which means there's no cross contamination with animal products in the kitchen or supply chain.

It costs £4.89 and comes in at 429 calories.

We blind tasted a McPlant and a beef burger when it came out, and this is what we thought.

The Spicy Veggie One

The Spicy Veggie wrap has proven to be a favourite among vegan's at McDonald's.

It comes with Veggie Dippers made up of yellow split peas, tomato, rice, breadcrumbs and pesto inside.

On top is a spicy relish, crisp lettuce and tomato wrapped in a soft toasted tortilla wrap costing £3.79 or £5.39 as a medium meal.

The wrap by itself is 365 calories and just like the McPlant burger, it's also vegan certified by the Vegetarian Society.

Vegetable Deluxe

The Vegetable Deluxe isn’t suitable for vegans, but it is for vegetarians. It comes in at 361 calories.

The £4.39 burger alternative has red pesto veggie goujons with sandwich sauce and shredded lettuce in a sesame topped bun.

Veggie Dippers

McDonald’s Veggie Dippers are available on their own, as a meal or Happy Meal.

They’re made up of red pepper and sundried tomato pesto and coated in crispy golden breadcrumbs.

Even though they've got veggie in the name, they're vegan too.

They will set fans back £4.39 and come in at 321 calories.

Hash Brown

Vegans and vegetarians can have the hash browns just as they come.

Hash browns are a McDonald’s staple - on their own or as a side at breakfast time. 

Crispy on the outside and served until 11am for the price of £1.49.

Fries

Vegans and veggies will be delighted to know that McDonald’s fries are meat and dairy-free.

Fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, they’re cut from whole potatoes.

Prices vary depending on which size you pick up. A small bag is £1.59p, while a medium is £1.99 and a large fries £2.49.

Pancakes

If you're looking for a veggie option on McDonald's breakfast menu, this could be a suitable choice.

You can enjoy pancakes drizzled in golden syrup to start the day with a sweet treat, only setting you back £3.29.

The sweet treat isn't appropriate for vegans though.

Porridge

McDonald's sells porridge for early birds in select stores, and luckily for vegetarians, they can fill up on the snack in the mornings.

Vegans aren't so lucky though, as they can't try the breakfast staple.

They don't have to fork out £1.59 for the brekkie choice either though.

McFlurry

The best news for McDonald's lovers is that McFlurrys make it onto the veggie menu too.

That means they can enjoy the reigning Cadbury, Oreo, Maltesers and Smarties options whilst sticking to the veggie diet.

The dairy-based product isn't suitable for vegans though.

Any of the large McFlurry's will cost you between £1.99p to £2.29 while the mini versions are from just £1.59.

Drinks and other desserts

If you need something to wash all those treats down with, then you won't be disappointed to find most of McDonald's drinks range makes it onto the veggie menu.

For hot drinks, you can get everything from black coffee to toffee lattes, while fizz fans can enjoy Fantas, Cokes and more.

Vegetarians with a sweet tooth may also enjoy munching on desserts, such as toffee apple doughnuts, chocolate brownies, triple chocolate cookies, berry muffins as well as sugar doughnuts.
