McDonald’s UK&I boosts plant-based offering with new Double McPlant


McDonald’s UK&I has announced the launch of the long-awaited and much-requested Double McPlant, in all UK & Ireland restaurants.

The launch comes just in time for those taking part in Veganuary or those who just simply crave a new burger from the brand.

The McPlant, which took over three years to develop, features a patty co-created with Beyond Meat and has already proved highly successful with customers since its launch in September 2021.

Many customers had been taking to Twitter to express their desire for a doubled-up version. One user, @hollzap wrote, “I know it’s 7am but when are @McDonaldsUK going to allow a Double McPlant?? All I want is the option to have two patties. this is the important stuff I need addressed.”

Another fan, @Psijguy took to Twitter to say, “I have said on many occasions that the McPlant has changed my life, but if there were to be a double McPlant? I can only imagine.”

Customers have known and loved Double Big Mac, Chicken Big Mac, Double Quarter Pounder, Double and Triple Cheeseburger, now it’s time to welcome Double McPlant to the legendary line-up.

Bringing double the flavour and double the fun, Double McPlant features two Beyond Meat patties, a vegan sesame bun, mustard, ketchup, the ultimate vegan sandwich sauce, fresh onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato and of course, vegan cheese that tastes just like McDonald’s iconic cheese slices.

Double McPlant is vegan certified and cooked separately from other McDonald’s burgers and sandwiches, using dedicated utensils.
