McDonald’s has been hit by drink shortages after some branches were left unable to serve milkshakes and bottled drinks.
The fast food giant has been hit by supply chain issues reportedly caused by a lack of lorry drivers resulting in the items being pulled from menus.
McDonald's said it was "working hard to return these items to the menu as soon as possible" as customers took to social media to complain.
A spokesperson for McDonald’s told The Independent : “Like most retailers, we are currently experiencing some supply chain issues, impacting the availability of a small number of products.
"Bottled drinks and milkshakes are temporarily unavailable in restaurants across England, Scotland and Wales.
“We apologise for any inconvenience, and thank our customers for their continued patience. We are working hard to return these items to the menu as soon as possible.”
One customer took to Twitter writing: “I just went on McDonalds – they’ve got no milkshakes and the fizzy drinks ‘might be flat’. What is going onnn?!”
Another said: “McDonald’s you don’t do bagels any more or breakfast wraps, you now have no milkshakes, Tropicana or bottled water."
It comes as a number of businesses in the hospitality industry report issues with their supply chain.
Nando's was forced to shut around 50 restaurants in the UK after running out of chicken due to supply chain issues.
KFC was also hit by poultry shortages and was forced to close some restaurants.
