A spokesperson for McDonald's said: "Following last night’s announcement of a new four week lockdown in England, we have confirmed that our Drive-Thru, takeaway and delivery services can remain open. 

"Our dine-in areas will be closed during this period starting on November 5.

"We will continue to follow the guidance and regulations as set out by public health and government authorities and will confirm any changes to our services to our employees first and then our customers."

Under the new government guidance, hospitality venues like restaurants, bars and pubs must close, but can still provide takeaway and delivery services.

However, takeaway of alcohol will not be allowed.
