Croydon residents are in for a treat as McDonald’s unveils its first-ever UK Famous Order, personally chosen by music icon Stormzy. Fans in his hometown will be the first to experience the exclusive meal 48 hours before it launches nationwide.
Stormzy Meal Arrives Early for Croydon Fans
From 10th February, McDonald’s restaurants across Croydon will serve the highly anticipated Stormzy Meal before it becomes available across the UK on 12th February. This marks a unique collaboration between McDonald’s and the award-winning rapper, celebrating his connection to his hometown.
To commemorate the occasion, McDonald’s at 86/90 North End, Croydon, will undergo a temporary transformation, rebranding as ‘Big Mike’s’—a nod to Stormzy’s well-known nickname. Fans eager to capture the moment can visit the restaurant before the signage returns to normal.
What’s in the Stormzy Meal?
The exclusive meal, crafted to reflect Stormzy’s personal favourites, includes:
- 9 McNuggets made with 100% chicken breast
- McDonald’s Fries
- A choice of Oreo McFlurry or Apple Pie
- Sprite Zero
This combination is a direct representation of Stormzy’s go-to order, now available for fans to enjoy nationwide from 12th February via all order channels, including in-store, drive-thru, and delivery platforms.
