McDonald’s Delivery UK

Craving a Big Mac but can’t be bothered to leave the house? McDonald’s delivery — known as McDelivery — brings your favourites straight to your door across much of the UK. In this guide, I’ll explain which delivery services carry McDonald’s, how to order, what it costs, and how to make sure your food arrives hot and fresh.

Which services deliver McDonald’s in the UK?

McDonald’s UK partners with the big three delivery platforms: Uber Eats, Just Eat, and Deliveroo. Availability depends on where you live — not every restaurant delivers through every platform, and some areas aren’t covered at all. The easiest way to check is to open one of the apps, enter your postcode, and search for McDonald’s. If it appears, you’re in a delivery zone.

Each platform has its own app and website, and you’ll need an account to order. Prices on delivery apps are typically a little higher than in-restaurant prices, and there’s a delivery fee on top — the exact fee varies by platform, distance, and time of day, so check before you confirm.

How to order McDonald’s delivery

  • Open Uber Eats, Just Eat, or Deliveroo and search for McDonald’s
  • Browse the menu — most of the regular menu is available, including burgers, McNuggets, fries, and breakfast items during breakfast hours
  • Add items to your basket and check the delivery fee and estimated time
  • Pay in the app by card, PayPal, or whatever the platform accepts
  • Track your rider and meet them at the door — or choose contactless delivery

Is the full menu available for delivery?

Almost. The vast majority of the menu travels well, but a few items don’t appear on delivery menus — most notably ice cream-based desserts like McFlurry and soft-serve cones, because they’d melt before arriving. Shakes are sometimes available depending on the restaurant. If something’s missing from the delivery menu, that’s usually why.

Delivery times and fees

McDonald’s delivery generally runs during restaurant opening hours — many locations deliver late into the evening, and some 24-hour restaurants deliver through the night. Delivery usually takes around 20–40 minutes depending on distance and how busy it is. Fees vary: platforms sometimes run free-delivery promotions, so it’s worth checking all three apps to compare. Keep an eye on our deals page for ways to save.

Tips for the best McDelivery experience

  • Order at off-peak times if you can — food arrives faster and hotter
  • Double-check your address and delivery instructions before confirming
  • If items are missing or wrong, report it in the delivery app straight away for a refund or credit
  • For food quality complaints (not delivery issues), see our McDonald’s complaints guide

McDonald’s delivery vs collection: which is better value?

Delivery wins on convenience but collection wins on price — every time. Between higher menu prices on delivery apps and the delivery fee, a delivery order can cost noticeably more than the same food collected in person. If you’re close to a restaurant, the app’s order-ahead feature gives you the speed of delivery without the markup. Save delivery for when you really can’t go out — rainy nights, illness, or feeding a crowd.

What to do when your delivery goes wrong

Missing items, wrong orders, and stone-cold food happen. Act fast: report the problem in the delivery app immediately — Uber Eats, Just Eat, and Deliveroo all have help sections for refunds and credits, and they’re usually generous if you report promptly with details. Take a photo of anything clearly wrong. For quality issues with the food itself rather than the delivery, you can also contact McDonald’s directly — see our complaints guide.
