It’s finally happening – McDonald’s has confirmed that the viral Lotus Biscoff McFlurry is actually launching in the UK next week.
After making its way onto the menu in various countries across the globe, and after countless months of rumours circulating online and foodies begging the fast food giant to make it a reality, McDonald’s has finally confirmed what fans have been waiting for.
The Lotus Biscoff McFlurry is on its way to the UK, and it’ll be here in just a few days time.
The unique flavour of Lotus Biscoff has amassed millions of caramelised biscuit lovers worldwide, who have all been pleading with Maccies to team up with the makers of the sweet treat for a McFlurry collaboration.
Calls for a Biscoff-flavoured McFlurry have been coming in thick and fast over the past few months after rumours first emerged about it online, but McDonald’s had been keeping pretty tight-lipped about it all until it took to social media this morning to reveal that fans will finally be able to tuck into the ice cream delicacy before June is out.
Available in both mini and full sizes, the new limited-edition Lotus Biscoff McFlurry will see the beloved caramelised biscuit swirled onto soft serve McFlurry ice cream to give the dessert a signature crunchy twist.

“It’s been a long-time hope to some of our McDonald’s patrons and we’re glad we can make this into a reality, as we take great pride in what we offer our customers and we really do listen to what they want by spending time researching and developing all the possibilities.
“It’s what we enjoy and it’s why I am personally proud of this new menu.”
You’ll be able to grab the Lotus Biscoff McFlurry for a limited-time only from next Wednesday (21 June) at McDonald’s branches all across the UK and Ireland.
A full-sized one will set you back £1.99, while a mini version will cost just £1.49.
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
Luxury Leeds steakhouse to undergo huge £1.2 million renovation
Clementine Hall
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
