Large queues at Nottingham McDonald's during first weekend of opening

Motorists sat in queues to grab a McDonald's during the first weekend since the restaurant opened its doors.

Around 15 cars were queuing at a time at the Castle Marina restaurant on Saturday, June 6.

A member of staff wearing a mask was directing cars into the queue.

Some vehicles had to wait at the side of the restaurant before being ushered in.

Despite the queues, customers were being served quickly. However, as soon as one queue vanished another appeared.

One member of staff said the first day of opening was the busiest day but 'it is busy every day' now.

He could not say how many customers they had this morning or over lunch.
