McDonald's has been forced to pull milkshakes and bottled drinks from its menu due to supply chain issues, it said in a statement.
The fast-food chain, which operates some 1,300 restaurants across the UK, has become the latest victim of supply chain disruptions that are currently roiling England, Scotland, and Wales, Sky News reports.
This summer, the UK has been hit by a shortage of lorry drivers, a crisis that has affected supermarkets, restaurants, and other retailers.
There is currently estimated to be a shortfall of around 90,000 drivers - triggered by an exodus of foreign nationals, post-Brexit immigration rules, and self-isolation requirements.
In a statement, McDonald's said that bottled drinks and milkshakes would temporarily be unavailable at all of its stores across the country.
"Like most retailers, we are currently experiencing some supply chain issues, impacting the availability of a small number of products," the company said.
"Bottled drinks and milkshakes are temporarily unavailable in restaurants across England, Scotland and Wales."
