A McMuffin for dinner? It might happen, as McDonald's plans to test all-day breakfasts.

Currently the chain only serves sausage-and-egg McMuffins and hash browns up until 10.30am, then they switch to their normal menu.

The company said in a statement that the test is in response to customers who have said they'd like to eat breakfast foods outside the typical morning hours that they are served.

Unfortunately UK customers still have to wait a little while yet, as McDonald's has chosen its US restaurants as the place to try out the idea.

If it works well there, and there is an appetite for all day breakfast, there is a chance it could be rolled out to the UK.

There are McDonald's restaurants in at Blackpole retail park, the Foregate and Hylton Road in Worcester. The chain also has outlets in Kidderminster, Evesham and Wychbold.

Fans of McDonald's breakfast menu have long wanted the option to get breakfast at McDonald's after 10.30am. But offering both the breakfast and lunch menu had been considered logistically impossible, given the tight kitchen spaces of the restaurants.

McDonald's had even tweeted about the topic in February, saying it doesn't serve breakfast all day because its grills "just aren't big enough for breakfast and lunch."

The push to make breakfast outside normal hours partly reflects how McDonald's is working to keep pace with shifting habits. In particular, executives have noted that customers increasingly want foods personalised to their lifestyles.
