McDonald’s announce plans to extend breakfast menu hours
Fans of the food will be ecstatic
Author: William MarriottPublished 12th Jun 2019
McDonald's have finally announced they will be extending their breakfast menu hours meaning fans of the fast food chain will have an extra half an hour to visit their local store for their serving of the iconic breakfast.
It comes 25 years after McDonald's first started to serve breakfast until half 10 in the morning.
The fast food chain has been resistant over the years to change the breakfast times, even though there has been popular demand for it.
Waiting for McDonald's breakfast like...
But, now fans don't need to complain because, according to some, this is the best month of their lives, following the restaurant's announcement paired with James Corden's that there will be a Gavin and Stacey Christmas special.
Fans have taken to Twitter to express their excitement, with one saying 'OMG, McDonald's brekkie is till 11am now!' sic whilst another said 'Fantastic news for all of us'.
Sadly, this is currently only a trial for six weeks to gauge whether the public actually wants their McDonald's breakfast fix after half ten.
Swipe through to see which chocolate bars we miss the most
1) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!

21) Flyte
Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.
1) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!
2) Cadbury Coconut Boost
The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!
3) Mars Delight
That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, we despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.
4) Cadbury Marble
Milk and white chocolate AND praline in one bar? Yup. Cadbury's really are one of the best at coming up with new recipes.
5) Cadbury Spira
Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM.
6) Time Out
The Time Out was very slyly taken off the shelves - basically a chocolate wafer, but SO MUCH MORE. Thankfully, they still exist in shops as a single wafer.
7) Cadbury Snow Flake
The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!
8) Rowntree's Cabana
Coconut, caramel, cherries and chocolate – the ultimate tropical chocolate bar, right?
9) Trio
TRIO! TRIOOOO! I want Trio and I want one now!
10) Cadbury Dream
Possibly one of the best additions to the Heroes tin at Christmas.
11) Cadbury Fuse
Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! It's years since we last saw a Fuse bar around. Sob.
12) Terry's Pyramint
Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!
13) KitKat Senses
We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.
14) Milkybar Choo
We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.
15) Cadbury Taz Bar
When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.
16) Twix Top
This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?!
17) Cadbury Snaps
They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap!
18) Rowntree's Secret
Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.
19) Cadbury Wispa Mint
We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.
20) Texan
The mighty chew.
21) Flyte

There will only be seven restaurants trialling the new hours. These will be in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. But if the people of Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight take onefor the team and pull through, the new hours will be used in EVERY store across the UK and Ireland.
Here's to hoping we can get our 10:59am iconic breakfast fix soon!
