McDonald’s has expanded its breakfast options nationwide by adding a new Sausage Sandwich to the Saver Menu, following a successful trial in northern England. Priced from just £1.99, the launch aims to tempt budget-conscious morning diners with a filling, saucy option that borrows the look of a burger but serves up classic breakfast flavours.
What’s inside the new Sausage Sandwich and why it matters
The new sandwich pairs a seasoned pork sausage patty with a soft bun for a handheld breakfast. Customers can choose to add melted cheddar and select their preferred sauce.
- Protein: RSPCA-assured pork sausage patty.
- Cheese option: Melted cheddar available.
- Sauces: Ketchup or brown sauce to taste.
- Style: Designed like a burger, served as a breakfast item.
McDonald’s emphasises the sourcing of the pork with the RSPCA assurance, positioning the sandwich as both affordable and responsibly produced.

Company perspective: value, fun and flavour
McDonald’s marketing team framed the sandwich as a combination of value and personality. The chain says customers enjoy playful menu ideas as much as budget-friendly choices.
Key message: a saucy, savoury breakfast that looks like a burger but eats like a morning meal.
The wider menu refresh: new sweet and coffee choices
Alongside the Sausage Sandwich, McDonald’s has added two new items aimed at dessert and coffee lovers. These arrive as part of a broader push to refresh the menu and attract more morning and daytime visits.
- Loaded Caramel McFlurry — a richer dessert option.
- Honeycomb Latte — a new flavoured coffee choice.
These items expand choices for customers who want a treat or a speciality beverage with their visit.
Who benefits from the Saver Menu expansion
Introducing breakfast items to the Saver Menu targets several groups at once.
- Commuters seeking quick, cheap breakfasts.
- Families looking for low-cost morning options.
- Students and budget-conscious customers searching for value.
By combining familiar fast-food formats with lower price points, McDonald’s hopes to boost morning footfall.
Tips for customers and what to watch for
If you plan to try the Sausage Sandwich, consider these pointers:
- Ask if your local restaurant is offering the Saver Menu breakfast items.
- Check serving times; not all branches sell breakfast all day.
- Try the £2.99 bundle to get a drink and sandwich at a discount.
Keep an eye on in-store promotions or app deals that may offer further savings.
