"Lunching" at McDonalds? Haha, that just sounds as wrong as "Dining" at KFC.
McD's Assistant: "Can I take your order please"?
Customer: "What, before we've seen the wine list"?
There you go Ronald, if you're reading, there's a new line for you! Wine!
"McChardonnay.... I'm lovin' it"!!

A girl I knew at uni was bragging on Valentines day that her boyfriend was taking her out for a meal. When I asked where it turned out it was KFC. She was such a bragger so I had to have a little giggle.
I would just love to see someone walk into McDonalds and ask for the wine list
Years and years ago my friend was staying at a hotel in Tangier-not a cheap place either! Te first night in the restaurant they asked for the wine list. The waiter looked puzzled then his eyes lit up and he said,' We have red, we have white and we have rosé!'
You're coming from abroad to visit the UK and you're hoping to eat in McDonald's?
Where do you live, North Korea?
I was quite miffed with my mates when we went to London a couple of years back.
We past plenty of nice looking pubs and small restaurants and even had a walk through China town but they were adamant that we ate 'what we know' so on the first night we went to KFC and the second McD >:(

Those two restaurants have spent years and millions (possibly billions) of dollars getting that name/logo recognition all over the world. They know how it works.:) They've accomplished their goal of normalizing their food and making people see it as a safe option, especially when traveling. I don't get to travel much, but the last place I'd go if I did go on holiday would be those places. Traveling should be about adventure and trying new things.

We're only 250 miles away. It's not like we're from the other side of the world and haven't experienced British food before.
Usually there are 3 price bands depending on the location. In cities and upper class areas they charge more than in low income areas and middle income areas
It's hardly something you need to plan for?! I don't think 'oh tomorrow I am venturing on an escapade to the shops and must decipher a restaurant to dine for luncheon.' I eat when I'm hungry. Unless it's a purposeful meeting for a meal etc, I don't get the obsession with food and some people being on schedule or regimented towards meal times. I eat when I want food, thus I'm not fat. Just go in to the McDonald's and choose what you want :S or nip into a Tesco or somewhere an get a sandwich or meal deal of you're trying to save cash. Just tell them to make sure they've got a fiver on them for dinner, and they can eat what they want. Are you doing anything exciting or just going to McDonald's? I'd sooner go to a pub and have a pub lunch outside in a lovely sunny beer garden with a vodka and coke to be honest
Has nobody been on a day trip or a week long trip with a "fussy" eater? If the fussy eater eats Mac D then for the sake of sanity you go to Mac D for lunch. It saves so much whinging and everyone else just scoffs their chosen meal and makes sure they go "somewhere nice" for dinner
A Big Mac Meal may cost a fiver here but work out cheaper elsewhere in Europe. The OP may need this info so the members of his party can budget.
For many people having a budget of a fiver a day per person for food is way out their reach and is the ultimate luxury .
There is no need to be snide or demeaning to the OP about his or her budget. They have came here asking for proper advice. Side swipes about the choice of eating venue don't help

True. Although to be awfully and annoyingly pedantic, an awful lot of fussy eaters wouldn't eat in McDonald's.

It´s a trip for which we need to provide exact expenses in advance in order to get the funding. Therefore, unfortunately, we do have to be regimental in our planning. I could go into more detail, but I am sure everyone has more interesting things to read!
In my personal life I do not tend to eat McDonalds and agree with all of those who have suggested other options, and I used to live in Oxford so I do know many great restaurants, etc. there. However, on this occasion, it´s McDonald´s.
Thanks everyone for helping out with prices, etc. xx

Apology accepted, but thanks for the belly laughs you truly are quite witty. Was also my train of thought but couldn't articulate it as smoothly as this. Nice.

How many McDonalds are there in 'upper class areas'?

Well done to you. How dare someone live their life differently.
Go to an independent take away. It might be a bit more expensive but the scran'll taste a lot nicer.
I don't know where the OP will be coming from, but if it is abroad, they'll have to google scran!
I only understood it from an old Auf Wiedersehen Pet episode.

LMFAO
You can tell it was the UK...in the US, 5 other people would have sat on the floor beside them pretending they'd slipped too
And the fact me & my friends were sat on the table that was under the stairs so we heard it first haha ^_^
I don't fooking love it that much

Burger King are more expensive unless you do the meal of the day.
So I have been told.

Well thank you.
you haven't lost the plot - this post is amazing
There's one in Hampstead. I know because I've "lunched" there.
It wasn't very busy though, probably due to lack of wine list.
