HEREFORDSHIRE is home to two McDonald’s restaurants; however, one is more expensive than the other.

The golden arches have had a presence in the county for decades, with plans to build the first McDonald's restaurant in Hereford city centre being approved in 1983, despite the fears of locals. By the late 1990s the company had also aquired the Belmont Inn site in Belmont Road, which eventually became their second Hereford city premises.

McDonald's said on their website that prices vary slightly from restaurant to restaurant, so it is worth checking either in-store or on the McDonald's app or Uber Eats delivery app.

"A significant proportion of our restaurants are owned by franchisees who set their own prices, but they share our aim of providing customers with value for money," the fast-food giant said.
