‘We put a lot of different things onto the staff restaurant menu, whether that’s potential new things that we’re putting on our menu here in the UK, or it could be something that’s worked elsewhere so it’s quite an exciting place to go and have lunch,’ he said.
And it seems we’re in good company… Not even some of the UK’s top chefs can resist the allure of a cheeky McDonald’s meal from time to time – with some even paying a fortnightly visit to the Golden Arches to get their fix.

‘The food might feel like a naughty treat, but I believe their ethos for training their team members, introducing McDonald’s diplomas, apprenticeships and other certifications, alongside in general giving opportunity to people across the world from underprivileged backgrounds the chance to progress in employment is very positive,’ he says.
Two London-based chefs have revealed their favourite items on the McDonald’s UK menu, as well as some of the things they’d never order from Maccies.
