In an email to customers, McDonald’s UK and Ireland chief executive Alistair Macrow said they were facing ‘tough choices’ about its prices.
He wrote: “We understand that any price increases are not good news, but we have delayed and minimised these changes for as long as we could.”
Mr Macrow added: "Just like you, our company, our franchises who own and operate our restaurants, and our suppliers are all feeling the impact of rising inflation.
"At times like this, we know that providing great value is important. Since we opened in the UK in 1974, we have committed to offering great tasting food at affordable prices, and that commitment will not change.
"But, today's pressures mean, like many, we are having to make some tough choices about our prices."
Breakfast meals, main meals, large coffees and McNugget share boxes are said to be among other items affected by the price change.
The changes came into effect on Wednesday [27 July].
