What Time Does McDonald's Breakfast Start And Finish? | Metro News

McDonald’s breakfast is often a popular choice – whether you’re recovering from a wild night out, or just fancy a McMuffin or pancake-shaped treat on your way to work.

From hearty Sausage and Egg McMuffins to bacon sarnies, hash browns and even porridge, there’s no shortage of choices on the morning menu.

However, many are often left disheartened when they arrive too early or too late to take advantage of it (despite the fact there are a host of new menu items to try if you do miss out).

For those keen to avoid a Filet-O-Fish before noon, you’ll want to know exactly when McDonald’s breakfast starts and ends.

Here’s when the chain’s branches serve up their famous breakfast selection.

What time does McDonald’s start serving breakfast?

Breakfast starts and ends at different times at different McDonald’s branches across the UK.

Generally, breakfast is served when the restaurants open, but 24-hour branches serve breakfast from 5am.

Other McDonald’s restaurants in the UK tend to open at around 6am.

However, before setting off on your breakfast-buying expedition, it’s best to find out what time your local McDonald’s opens.

To do that, simply visit the McDonald’s website and use its restaurant locator tool.

What time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast?

McDonald’s serves breakfast until 11am at all restaurants across the UK.

The previous cut-off time for breakfast was 10.30am, but the chain extended the hours in November 2019.

According to McDonald’s, this is because they can’t accommodate cooking both the breakfast and main menu at the same time.

The company website stated: ‘Items on our breakfast menu are cooked slightly differently and at a different temperature from items on our main menu.

‘This means we don’t have enough space in our kitchens to accommodate the cooking and preparation of our breakfast and main menus at the same time.

‘The 11am cut off enables us to accommodate our breakfast lovers, whilst allowing the customers who enjoy our main menu to get their food before 11:30am.’
