The Biscoff McFlurry and Chicken Big Mac are both returning to the McDonald’s menu across the UK in a couple of weeks time.
Easter has been and gone now, and so it’s sadly time to wave goodbye to the legendary Creme Egg McFlurry for another year – but thankfully, when we have to part ways with one ice cream dessert, McDonald’s usually comes through with another to replace it and fill the McFlurry-shaped hole in fast food fans’ hearts.
And what better way to fill that hole than with the long-awaited return of the now equally-legendary Biscoff McFlurry?
After being released to serious fanfare for the first time in the UK last June, and undeniably going down a treat, with countless Maccies customers having been calling for its return ever since, the fast food chain has now announced that the Biscoff McFlurry will be making a long-awaited comeback later this month.
It’s return is alongside a handful of other returning favourites and even some exciting newbies too.

Returning for a limited time, and setting you back just £1.99 for the full size or £1.59 for the mini, the Biscoff McFlurry features a Lotus Biscoff biscuit crumb swirled onto the soft serve ice cream to give it that extra crunchy taste.
Another popular product making an eagerly-awaited return is the beloved Chicken Big Mac, while some other returning gems include the Galaxy Caramel Pie, and the Galaxy McFlurry to accompany it.

When it comes to new menu additions, customers can tuck into the new Quarter Pounder Deluxe for £4.89, which is a take on the classic Quarter Pounder and features a 100% beef patty served with mustard, ketchup, onion, lettuce, mayonnaise, juicy tomato, pickles, and two cheese slices inside a toasted sesame seed-topped bun.

A Maccies meal isn’t complete without a cheesy side, and new to the lineup this time are the Cheese and Herb Melts – which are five cheese and herb melts made with a blend of mozzarella and Emmental cheese, tossed in a herb coating and served with a rich tomato dip.
But, by far the most exciting newbie has to be the Biscoff Frappe.

Joining the limited-edition lineup to complement the Biscoff McFlurry in the best way possible, the Biscoff Frappe has a vanilla-flavour base, and is blended with ice and Biscoff biscuit crumb, before being topped with caramel cream and a Biscoff biscuit crumb dusting.
The McDonald’s limited-edition Spring menu is launching at restaurants nationwide, including across Greater Manchester, from Wednesday 17 April onwards.

Stockport County defender Brad Hills ruled out for the rest of the season
Danny Jones
In a big blow to their promotion push, Stockport County have been hit with a major injury and loss to their first-team squad, as defender Brad Hills has been ruled out for what looks to be the remainder of the season and then some.
Not what Hatters will want to hear with crunch-time in and around the playoffs now well underway.
Having emerged as even more of a starring centre-back this year, following his initial loan spell with the club during the previous campaign, Brad Hills has arguably been one of Stockport’s best and most reliable players in 2025/26 thus far – but not County will have to do without him.
Although the exact severity is yet to be fully revealed, the former Norwich City youth academy graduate is said to have hurt his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Confirming the news on social media, the Greater Manchester side stated: “We regret to inform supporters that Brad Hills sustained an ACL injury in Saturday’s draw at Luton Town that will rule him out for the foreseeable future.
“Our full focus is on supporting Brad throughout his recovery – we know he’ll come back stronger”
For anyone unaware, ACL tears/ruptures are among some of the worst injuries in football, and depending on the extent of the damage, it can take anywhere between six months and a full year to bounce back.
Safe to say, therefore, that supporters have been left gutted by the update, with one commenting, “Awful, awful news”; another simply wrote, “FFS”.
After typing a very long expletive following the show news, fan podcast The Scarf Bergara Wore wrote: “Wishing Bradley Hills a speedy recovery – come back stronger!
Since becoming a permanent signing back in August, he’s earned multiple man-of-the-match awards in blue and white, not to mention contributed to a decent number of clean sheets. He’ll be a big miss in their backline.
While it’s no doubt a big setback as the League One team looks to get promoted into the Championship, the absence could see manager Dave Challinor reshuffle the pack and perhaps even the formation for the remaining fixtures.
One option is Louie Barry, who – depending on the setup – could finally be set for a return to the pitch after he was signed on a third loan deal this past January, but is still continuing his own rehab following a knee operation.
Put it this way, with not many games left, lots of County fans are probably wishing that the pending and potential further changes in the EFL could have come sooner…
Embrace announce intimate live show in beloved Bury music venue
Danny Jones
British alternative veterans Embrace have announced another intimate show here in Greater Manchester, only this time it’s over in Bury at a stunning small-cap arts venue.
It’s not often you get to see such a long-standing band play outside of the city centre so far into their career, especially in gorgeous grassroots spaces like this one.
A fellow Northern outfit, they’ve often been lumped in with that ‘post-Britpop’ era of music, and plenty throw around the so-called ‘dad rock’ label, but honestly, we couldn’t care either way: they remain among the UK’s perennially underappreciated underdogs that never get old, as far as we’re concerned.
Revealing a handful of new live dates for their album launch this summer, they’ll be making just two appearances in the North West on the run.
Writing in the post, the group said: “We’ve lined up a run of exclusive UK dates in venues that are some of the smallest we’ve played in years. It’s going to be special, but capacity is extremely limited.”
As you can see, besides the Jacaranda Baltic in Liverpool, the only other place in this region where they’re set to play for this mini tour is The Met over in Bury.
One of the most beautiful gig spots, not just in the town but in all the 10 boroughs, for our money, the room only holds around 400 standing and roughly 250 seats.
For seasoned artists like this lot, who are more used to playing big festival stages and big domestic headline tours – which they’re also doing later this year – it’s sure to be a special night.
Toasting the release of their ninth studio LP, Avalanche, this spin-off on the tried and tested in-store format wouldn’t be possible without the help of local record store, Wax and Beans, who are promoting and hosting the show.
But we can’t lie, there’s something about the idea of seeing them decades on from when they first tightly-packed out crowds of this size.
If you want to be part of the Embrace album launch tour, you can get ready to grab your tickets at 10am this Friday, 27 March, right HERE. And speaking of great record shops…
