MCDONALD’S breakfast only runs for a limited period of time each day.

Fans have to be up bright and early to nab a McMuffin before the fast food chain switches to its regular menu.

Whether your menu choice is a classic sausage and egg McMuffin or simply a hash brown and coffee, we explain what time breakfast is served until.

You don’t just have to dine in to enjoy McDonald’s breakfast, as you can also use drive-thru lanes and home delivery services through Just Eat and Uber Eats.

Keep in mind you’ll pay extra if you’re ordering McDonald’s to your home through these apps though.

What time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast?

McDonald’s serves breakfast every day until 11am. It used to switch to the lunchtime menu at 10:30am, but bosses added an extra 30 minutes to the breakfast offering in 2019.

Restaurants that are normally open 24 hours a day start serving breakfast from 6am. Every other restaurant kicks off the day with the breakfast menu at their normal opening times.

You can find out where your nearest branch is and what time it opens using the store locator tool.

What’s on the McDonald’s breakfast menu?

You can check out the breakfast menu on the McDonald’s website, but the chain is still offering a limited menu due to the pandemic.

There are new additions to the breakfast choices though, including the breakfast muffin with jam and new breakfast roll.

Plus you can still get all the old favourites like a sausage and egg McMuffin or a bacon roll.

How do I get McDonald’s breakfast?

You can dine in at McDonald’s restaurants during the breakfast opening times.

However, it’s table service only – so customers are being encouraged to order their meal via the McDonald’s app.

McDonald’s has added numbers to all of its tables, which you’ll then need to add after you select the “eat in” option on the app.

Staff will then bring your food to the table.

It’s no longer compulsory to wear masks indoors in England, but McDonald’s hasn’t provided updated guidance on whether customers and staff will be expected to use a face covering.

You can still take your food away, use a drive-thru or opt for delivery.

At the start of the pandemic, McDonald’s introduced home delivery at hundreds more of its restaurants so you can get brekkie delivered directly to your door.

Orders can be made through Just Eat and Uber Eats but remember, you’ll have to pay a fee for delivery.

How much this costs depends on how far from the restaurant you live. There is also an option to click and collect through the McDonald’s app, where you place your order and pay online and can pick it up via drive-thru.

Why doesn’t McDonald’s serve breakfast after 11am?

McDonald’s starts its normal menu from 11am each day.

They continue serving burgers, chicken nuggets and the rest of the normal menu right through until closing time, which will vary depending on your restaurant’s opening times.

Food on the normal menu and the breakfast menu can’t be cooked at the same time.

Breakfast food is cooked slightly differently and at different temperatures to burgers and fries and there’s not enough space to do both menus at once in the kitchens.

McDonald’s says on its website: “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.”
