Things would have been fine if we hadn't gone into lockdown from Covid. Then McDonald's wouldn't have needed to set up a delivery service to keep them from closing their branches down due to us not being able to go in person at the time. Their delivery service has made the quality suffer as their turnover for their food has increased so much. Now their delivery service has had so many consistently bad reviews that their sales are being hit again. I can't see what choice they have but to increase prices. The delivery service won't go if it's still profitable for them I guess.

Great review Gareth, I’ve noticed over the years the presentation on how they present food has a lot to answer for these days. Thrown together with love Mcdonald’s are not cheap anymore ! Obv you’re not loving it ! 😂sorry for the punt. Keep posting matey 👌🏻
In my 40 years walking this earth and spending my pocket money as a kid and wages as an adult on many visits to McDonald's. I have to say I've never had a burger served or delivered that looks like it's advertised 😂 Great video as always ❤️
I had one. Chiang Mai airport last December. Double Cheeseburger and it was immaculate. Looked exactly like the picture, cheese was perfectly aligned, not squashed, just perfect. I couldn't eat it at first, I just stared at it because it didn't look real. Place doesn't even have good reviews so can only assume it was somebody's first day and they hadn't yet run out of shits to give.
Its crazy how all the major fast food places in the UK right now ie KFC,BK,MD,s etc have all gone major downhill in the past few years, I mean i know costs have gone up don't we know it but everything is either tasteless or straight up dry now...I've had better burgers from a chippy!
I dont know if its still the same, but I used to love the Burger King Burgers, the salad makes them, but the chips and coffee are US. And I like the Mc breakfast meal especially the coffee but not the normal burgers. But I dont go to neither since covid cos the prices are up 63% for the Mcbrekkers meal , £3.15 and now its £5.15. I do a takeaway dinner for 3 on Fridays rotating between chinese (~£35), KFC wicked variety bucket and wrap(£26) and Kebab van special - chic, lamb, 2 sausages and 2xdonner with chips n salad £17!!! Dont know how the kebab van does it, but the food is really tasty and there's loads. Im dropping the chinese more and more cos the prices have gone up, but their special curry is to die for,........and the chic chow mein .......and the ribs lol.

By the way the size of that burger was diabolical, I watched the mc rib disaster you didn't get what they showed they make on you tube there soaked in a brown redie viscous gravy or sauce but when I seen yours I was like what the. Listen just wanted to say thanks for doing this and letting us know what it's like. Stay safe and well from Dublin ireland...
It's years since I've had anything from mcd & kfc. It didn't look too good on first appearance. You're wonderful Gareth for showing this. Your daily walks for Movember will burn this off no problem. Take good care 👍
I've been making these for the last 5 years McDonald's team need to be more experimental instead of just doubling stuff up or just rearranging items already on the menu
Sorry but McDonald's back in the 80's was awesome, there was one resturant in a town (if you were lucky) and it was a different experience, it was a really tasty treat. It started to go wrong about maybe late 90's ... imo.
Thanks for the review, Gareth. You might as well just buy an ordinary double cheese burger and put your own chilli sauce on it. I've given up on McDonald's. All the best.👍
Gaz, I don't eat at McDonald's anymore... I would rather they increase the price than make the burger smaller. Burger king has the same size Whopper as years ago, even though it costs almost ten quid. But I will have one rather than McDonald's
I totally agree with you. Burger King burgers taste better than Mc Donald’s burgers. Their breakfast burgers are to die for, I bought and ate 2 large Burger King burgers with an extra sausage patty, extra bacon, and extra egg, cost me £21. Sometimes I devour 30 smoked bacon rashers in one sitting; I have an addiction to some foods
Was this the same McDonald’s that missed a meat patty out of your Hat trick burger earlier in the year? They need to up their game. 🍔 🍟 it happened to me with only 2 inside.
I remember before McDonald's were really a thing in the U.K we had Wimpy, the burgers were made fresh when ordered, yeah it took a bit longer but the burgers didnt taste like a mixture of cardboard and plastic, and they were a lot bigger that what you get from McDonald's today, BRING BACK WIMPY
Wimpys was Civilised dining if you ate in everythin was served on China Fresh tea & Coffee in a China cup and hot & Cooked then & their!! still a few going they used to have a services on the M2 in Kent!!
Have you tried any of the Sushi sets and dragon rolls Gareth as a alternative from the western food ,some although expensive served at room temperature with wasabi mustard and soy are tasty and easy to eat especially after visit from the dentist .
T'how do spot on! That chilli double cheeseburger is just the same as the double cheeseburger the only difference is the chilli sauce so it's not completely new like McDonald's advertise it.
Considering that the so-called chilli sauce added to the burger is very mild it has zero kick to it and so it’s no different from a regular Double Cheeseburger with Ketchup.
Great stuff Gareth 👍 I once had a job where I had to survey the whole of county Durham. I visited many areas in search of the best made steak & kidney pie. They are becoming scarce. Anyhow, it's worth a go Gavin. All the best there!
If you keep your receipt and fill in the 5 minute survey mcfood for thoughts , you can get a quarter pounder and fries for £2.99 , hardly anybody knows this , but it saves me a fortune with having 3 kids , I use 3 codes from 3 separate receipts 😂
Looks like they have just stuck some chili sauce onto one of their saver menu burgers and renamed it. As bad as it may be, hard to argue against £2.49 as a quick snack when a singular packet of crisps nowadays are £1 or more.
Pretty sure you could get a double and either fries or drink for £2.49 a couple of years ago? The single and chicken mayo were £1 savers with the double at £1.59 . At least when it was cheap there was a reason. It costs more, tastes worse and you wait longer.. no thanks
@@Sam-es2gfcorrect. The double cheese was £1.49 and a medium fries or medium coke was 99p I used to get double cheese, medium fries medium coke for less than £3.50
With a voucher from the free metro paper it was £1.99 for a "Big" Mac and fries. Even then I felt a bit ripped off tbh, but it hit the spot after a few beers.
@@FART-REPELLENT I have been an Encona fan for decades, long before it was on general sale. They ruined their standard sauce by adding too much vinegar, and their "extra hot" is only hot for a second (too much tomato to temper it?).
@ I totally agree with your criticisms, I don’t like tangy chilli sauces, it’s the vinegar that makes them tangy. Lastly for me a chilli sauce doesn’t have to be very hot, chilli sauce served in Turkish Kebab shops is moderately hot, but still tastes great. It’s a shame we can’t get fresh Jalapeños in the UK, we can only get ones pickled in vinegar which I hate.
@@FART-REPELLENT I've grown my own chillies for many, many years. These past few years I have concentrated on authentic Scotch Bonnets after getting seed from the Jamaican Ministry of Agriculture. But I have grown many other types, including the lethal Carolina Reaper. I also make my own flakes, powders and sauces from them. Jalapenos are very easy to grow, just keep an eye open for a fairly ripe one at your greengrocers as your seed stock.
I've seen more appetizing looking Road Kill. The picture lied. I haven't used their services for over 20 years and I'm not missing it at all. Cheers for subjugating your pallet to this torture.
I totally agree with you: Mc Rib has no decent flavour, the bread tastes crap; it could be improved with a decent bread, carmalised onions, jalapeños, gherkins, cheese and topped with sweet chilli sauce.
I saw you ate the pickles yet the Jalapeno was at the opposite side of where the pickles were (pickles was where the chilli sauce was coming out of the bun where you started to eat, and the Jalapeno was on the opposite side). How was it once you hit the Jalapeno?
Hi Gareth. I will say that you are either very brave or thicker than two short planks going for that. Do you remember how great Wimpy Bars were? McDs are just not a patch on Wimpys. I was very surprised to find them in South America and they were a real delight
I got a couple of these today based on your video, and found they did have a bit of a kick to them. Not so much that I needed to put the bogroll in the fridge, however.
@@Stuart-f2m the size of it doesn't determine whether it's a burger or not. It's a burger nonetheless, albeit a small one. But at £2.49, it's justfied for that size.
@@DamonSlater Gareth who has. 1st hand experience of this burger calls the burger a joke for the price & I , along with most of his viewers agree. You want a Mini me burger , fill yer boots .
Was gonna get 1 of these but after seeing how small and unappetising it looks I don't think I shall bother especially priced at £2.49. will probably try the the big stack from Aldi and pop chilli sauce upon it. Thanks for informative video.
Great review why do the burgers always look like they been thrown about 😂 can u maybe recreate this at home even use the rustlers or the similar type that be a great video to do 😊
Just subscribed as I've been watching you for sometime now and I am loving your reviews I was going to try this today but I won't bother now as I thought the chilli would have been a bit spicy not sweet I don't understand why they just don't put it as an customisation option on the double cheese burger but guess its advertising and promotion for mcdonalds to get the customers in and thier profits up, who knows if its popular then the sauce will appear in the customisation section The only thing I go to mcdonalds now is the mcdonalds Monday
You should do a video of these terrible fast food places but just leave it under one of those glass domes for a month and see that it doesn’t go rotten. 😂😂😂
I've noticed that at McDonald's lately. Their buns are very often not as fresh as they should be. Can't stand stale bread. Don't give them to your customers. They deserve better.
Spot on old boy spot on 😂 see how much they empty your pockets of ,Gareth we could buy a truck and do heart attack burgers 😂 charge a £5 a burger , you fry em I'll be Peter Kay at the hatch 😂🙌
Hello Gareth.. a few weeks back I suggested you try a Subway sandwich, I was wondering if you are thinking of trying it.. I will suggest it again ..and don't forget the lettuce, tomato, onions, hot peppers.. and different sauces also.. better than that muck you just inhaled and the fact you just said so yourself how bad that burger was, what harm can it do to try Subway.
I'm afraid the bread looked stale to me and it's been put together using a catapult as usual I haven't been to McDonalds for nearly 12 months. The only reason I ever called there was because it's quick and clean a lot of these takeaways are not clean and I wouldn't let my neighbours dog in them. A good review keep exposing these awful takeaway establishments and one day folks might listen to you.
McDonald's used to do a green chilli double cheeseburger, in the US. I don't know if they still do it, it was NM and TX if I can remember but the chillies were from NM, I used to enjoy it. This I don't think I will bother trying.

yesterday i bought from iceland there mac n cheese pasties 2 for a pound i was wondering have you tried them yet?
Not yet!
@@BaldFoodieGuy should do on your next vid plz
Two for a £1?; I wouldn’t feed them to my dog, I have more respect for my dog
@@FART-REPELLENT thanks for that usefull information
Basically an expensive Rustlers by McDonald’s 😂
Looking well Gaz, all the best mate 😊
Thanks 👍
Where are the jalapeños and crispy onions… you was given a double cheeseburger only. Go back.
They don't have crispy onions, just regular ones applied on the grill
@@abbeyswift8996Carmalised Onions would make those burgers taste better
I tried a mcrib the other day thinking "surely they can't be that bad?"
But you was right as usual...... absolutely disgusting 😂
I totally agree with you: Mc Rib has no decent flavour, the bread tastes crap; it could be improved with a decent bread, carmalised onions, jalapeños, gherkins, cheese and topped with sweet chilli sauce.
Looks tiny!
Great review Gareth, my favourite burger has to be the triple cheese burger delicious 🙂
You should have taken that back Gareth they made a right mess of that burger
Yes probably substitute it with a worse one.
@@BaldFoodieGuy 😂
I saw you ate the pickles yet the Jalapeno was at the opposite side of where the pickles were (pickles was where the chilli sauce was coming out of the bun where you started to eat, and the Jalapeno was on the opposite side). How was it once you hit the Jalapeno?
It's a pretty sad looking burger with the fake processed cheese. I am glad you took the plunge instead of me.
Well done Gareth.
You ate it so we don't have to.
Perhaps rename the channel to "Grumpy Old Bald Foodie Guy"? 😂😂😂
Haha 👌
I'm glad nobody is talking to you about how a chicken burger isn't a chicken burger 😂
I call 'em Dino burgers 😂🍔
@mclovin6039 a chicken burger sometimes got me feeling prehistoric!
Well said!
Hi Gareth. I will say that you are either very brave or thicker than two short planks going for that. Do you remember how great Wimpy Bars were? McDs are just not a patch on Wimpys. I was very surprised to find them in South America and they were a real delight
I don’t like chillies or jalapeños. But the cheeseburger itself looks good. I think they’ve changed the sauce for the Big Mac. Doesn’t taste nice.
If you don’t like chillies then you have crap taste. Lastly the Mc Donald’s chilli sauce is so mild it doesn’t taste any different from Ketchup.
@ how rude.
I got a couple of these today based on your video, and found they did have a bit of a kick to them. Not so much that I needed to put the bogroll in the fridge, however.

Mcrubbery 😊
It's a lot of things but robbery isn't one of then. At £2.49, that is a bargain price when you consider what the price of things are these days.
@@DamonSlater It's not a burger , it's barely a mouthfull.
@@Stuart-f2m the size of it doesn't determine whether it's a burger or not. It's a burger nonetheless, albeit a small one. But at £2.49, it's justfied for that size.
@@DamonSlater Gareth who has. 1st hand experience of this burger calls the burger a joke for the price & I , along with most of his viewers agree. You want a Mini me burger , fill yer boots .
Was gonna get 1 of these but after seeing how small and unappetising it looks I don't think I shall bother especially priced at £2.49. will probably try the the big stack from Aldi and pop chilli sauce upon it. Thanks for informative video.
Bit tight with the jalapeno
Burger reminds me of Falling Down 😬
Yes one I got lol
Great review why do the burgers always look like they been thrown about 😂 can u maybe recreate this at home even use the rustlers or the similar type that be a great video to do 😊
Happy birthday 🎂 hope your well 😊👌
Yeah it'll stay limited time as people try them and realise 'what is this.....'
Gareth. Part of you is still in the army, as a frontline food reviewing soldier.
Thanks for taking another hit for us viewers.
Cheers mate 👍😀
Cheers John
People still eating at McDonald's quite frankly deserve all of the disappointments they get at this point.
Just subscribed as I've been watching you for sometime now and I am loving your reviews
I was going to try this today but I won't bother now as I thought the chilli would have been a bit spicy not sweet
I don't understand why they just don't put it as an customisation option on the double cheese burger but guess its advertising and promotion for mcdonalds to get the customers in and thier profits up, who knows if its popular then the sauce will appear in the customisation section
The only thing I go to mcdonalds now is the mcdonalds Monday
Thanks kindly ☺️
Looking good my friend. Wonderful to see you, doing so well. Much ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
You should do a video of these terrible fast food places but just leave it under one of those glass domes for a month and see that it doesn’t go rotten. 😂😂😂
‘That bun is quite hard’ so would you be if you had been sat in a McDonalds store room for six years.
"Nothing special" was my exact reaction to having one yesterday. Maccies wanna up their game a bit!
McDonald's just know how to disappoint, way better places out there, i'd avoid here.
Just Subbed To Your Channel Gareth Been Watching Your Videos For Years Gareth Regards mike 😄
About time 🤣
I've noticed that at McDonald's lately. Their buns are very often not as fresh as they should be. Can't stand stale bread. Don't give them to your customers. They deserve better.
Glad you said that. The bread just isn't like it used to be. Almost like it's packed with artificial ingredients, It used to be light and fluffy.
Spot on old boy spot on 😂 see how much they empty your pockets of ,Gareth we could buy a truck and do heart attack burgers 😂 charge a £5 a burger , you fry em I'll be Peter Kay at the hatch 😂🙌
New Chilli Double 'I Don't Want To Live' Burger.
This is what happens when McDonald's put Donald Trump on griddle duty Gareth you get an orange looking burger 🍔
Hello Gareth.. a few weeks back I suggested you try a Subway sandwich, I was wondering if you are thinking of trying it.. I will suggest it again ..and don't forget the lettuce, tomato, onions, hot peppers.. and different sauces also.. better than that muck you just inhaled and the fact you just said so yourself how bad that burger was, what harm can it do to try Subway.
Cheers mate, yes I see the Christmas one is out now. Thanks kindly 👌
@BaldFoodieGuy enjoy m8.. they have so many different types of subs, should keep you busy for a while. 🤘
I have never very found anything in McDonald's that resembles food
I'm afraid the bread looked stale to me and it's been put together using a catapult as usual I haven't been to McDonalds for nearly 12 months. The only reason I ever called there was because it's quick and clean a lot of these takeaways are not clean and I wouldn't let my neighbours dog in them. A good review keep exposing these awful takeaway establishments and one day folks might listen to you.
I have to stop watching your vids at night. I end up heading to the kitchen.
I’m already getting fat
Oh, does anyone remember Falling Down?
McDonald's used to do a green chilli double cheeseburger, in the US. I don't know if they still do it, it was NM and TX if I can remember but the chillies were from NM, I used to enjoy it. This I don't think I will bother trying.
Thnks for info.
It always suprises me that they make them without gloves on .......
To be fair MacD started on the bottom rung of fast food retailers and went downhill from there.
I will never understand why people go there.
Where this location
It looks very tasty...lucky you.
"Put together with love" 😂😂😂
I'm going to have to try this, I do like a mcdouble 👍
