McDonald’s became the latest restaurant chain in the UK to be hit by supply shortages yesterday with no milkshakes or bottled drinks available in any of its outlets.
The fast-food giant, which has 1,250 restaurants, has stopped serving the drinks this week but said staff are ‘working hard to return these items to the menu as soon as possible’.
A spokesman told The Independent it was ‘experiencing some supply chain issues’.

A shortage of delivery drivers has disrupted supplies to supermarkets and hospitality.
Fresh food and drink supplies to Beefeater pubs and Subway outlets were also affected yesterday.
Industry experts say the lack of drivers is a result of Brexit and the pandemic.
A spokesman for Beefeater said supply chain issues had led to shortages of bottled beer and chicken.
Subway outlets in London and Norfolk have reportedly put up posters about a lack of ingredients – but this was not confirmed by the company.
