Last week Mcdonald’s launched the newest addition to their Happy Meal options; the grilled chicken wrap. We were invited to go along to their St Pauls branch in London to find out more and to have a taster!
Mcdonalds has been working with Mumsnet over the last year to find out what parents wanted to see added to their Happy Meal menu.
Over 1,000 Mumsnet community members were surveyed with nearly 8 in 10 wanting to see grilled chicken on the Happy Meal menu.
The wrap comes with a small tortilla, grilled chicken slices, lettuce and ketchup with tomato, onion, cucumber and if you are into that sort of thing you can now add pickles too.
I really appreciate how much choice there is now when it comes to ordering at Mcdonalds.
There are now 6 choices of main item (cheeseburger, hamburger, fish fingers, chicken nuggets, crispy chicken wrap and the new grilled chicken wrap) and you can choose fries or substitute those for a healthy side such as bag of carrots or a melon bag.
There is also a really good choice of drinks to accompany your child’s happy meal now too with milk or water both on offer alongside old favourites like the milkshakes. Another thing to point out was that I noticed that Mcdonalds have made the move from plastic to paper straws.
All of the above still comes presented in the Happy Meal box (which of course you can now convert to a little tray) with a toy or a book for your child to enjoy.
A Mcdonalds Happy Meal is a firm favourite in our house and as a parent I feel like the table service now available in Mcdonald’s restaurants is a great asset! I remember trying to juggle the tray and pushchair and it was no fun!
The fact that you can now use a kiosk instead of queuing which allows for much better personalisation of your order and have your food brought to your table while your child plays with the interactive table games is wonderful – nobody deserves a Big Mac more than a parent of young children.
This post was a collaborative one but all opinions are my own – including my steadfast love of pickles
We love a McDonald’s in our house! I really like their wraps too. I think it’s great they’ve added a chicken wrap to the happy meal menu.
I like the new kiosk system and the wrap sounds good.
I think their new menu is fantastic and I love that you can now have the order brought to the table. It’s great to see more healthy options than fries, and my daughter always chooses the carrot sticks instead!
