Brace yourselves: McDonald’s delivery is happening in the UK and it’s happening soon

This is it. Proof, at last, that dreams can come true

Rich Cooper

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: McDonald’s delivery is finally happening.

The new service, aptly titled McDelivery, is being trialled across London, Nottingham and Leeds this month, thanks to a new partnership between McDonald’s and UberEATS.

Twenty two locations across London will be offering the service, with a further seven in Nottingham and three in Leeds.

“The McDelivery option on UberEATS will feature McDonald’s breakfast, lunch and dinner options and will be available within 1.5 miles of the participating McDonald’s restaurants from 7am – 2am, seven days a week,” a press release said.

Here’s how it all works:

  1. Download the UberEATS app or order online at ubereats.com
  2. Pick delivery location – enter the address where you’d like your meal delivered
  3. Search for your nearest McDonald’s location in the app
  4. Place your order – pick the items you want right now or schedule your order to the arrive when you want. You can add notes to customise your meal and like Uber the order is charged to your card on file.
  5. Follow the progress of the delivery – get updates on the preparation of your order and watch your bicycle/motorcycle courier arrive live in-app

Simple!

Mathieu Proust, General Manager of UberEATS, said: “We’re excited to be working with McDonald’s to begin delivery of their food for the first time in the UK. Our technology means people can get the food they want with the speed and reliability they’ve come to expect from Uber.”

Now this is just a trial at this stage, so whether we see McDonald’s delivery becoming a full-time fixture on the takeaway scene will depend on its success, but honestly, is anyone not going to give this a go?

Imagine, hungover Sundays where you don’t have to leave the house to get your cure-all fix of nuggets. The dream… it’s coming true.
