That's an increase of a huge 15%.

We've also spotted that its Mayo Chicken burger on its Saver menu is now £1.49, up from £1.39 in November last year.

Prices at McDonald's do vary based on the location, partly due to some being franchises, which means they set their own prices.

It's unclear if other items have also gone up in price, as McDonald's did not respond to our question on this matter.

A spokesperson for McDonald's said it refused "to compromise on the quality of our ingredients – and that means when these ingredients cost more, we have to review our prices".

It added: "Raising some prices means we are able to stand by our quality commitments, like our beef patties being made from 100% British and Irish beef or our Chicken McNuggets being made from 100% chicken breast. We know how much these mean to our customers.

"Providing value remains an absolute priority. We continue to work tirelessly to ensure that every customer has a value offering that works for them."

Customers' fury at price hikes

Customers have been moaning on social media, including Reddit, about the increases.

One said: "Why has McDonald’s gotten so expensive?!!! More than £5 for a Big Mac is just wild."

The post quickly got hundreds of comments, with plenty of people in agreement.

"Ive stopped eating there a while ago, I always had couple of double cheeseburgers, they were 1.59 each and a wrap of the day that was 1.99," another commenter said.

"Right now double cheeseburgers are over 2 quid I think. It’s just not worth it anymore. Big Mac is 5 quid and I will destroy it in 4-5 bites. I rather make food at home now."

Another person wrote: "I remember the days an extra value meal was £2.88."

Pressure on prices

Retailers and restaurant chains have been forced to pass cost increases on to customers in recent years because of rising inflation and business costs.

The UK Government also last month raised the cost of National Insurance contributions for employers, making it more expensive to keep and hire employees.

In January, Greggs also confirmed a hike to prices in its shops.
