It launches in 10 restaurants in Coventry from Wednesday, September 29, and a further 250 from October 13 with a view to rolling out nationwide in 2022.

On Wednesday, October 13, the closest McDonald’s branch to offer the new McPlant burger will be Havant – with no Sussex restaurants on the list for 2021.
