McDonald's announces new rules everyone must follow - and changes opening times

From today, fans of McDonald's will notice a change to the fast food chain's opening hours.

The changes come as part of Boris Johnson's new lockdown curfew rules - which mean that punters aren't allowed to dine-in after 10pm.

As a result, McDonald's is limiting its opening hours for dine-in customers - but has ensured people that it will continue to offer delivery and drive-thru services around the clock at many of its restaurants.

Posting on Twitter, McDonald's wrote: "From tomorrow, our opening hours and services may vary – for the latest information, contact-free ordering and payment, and exclusive offers, tap to download the My McDonald’s App."

McDonald's UK and Ireland CEO Paul Pomroy confirmed via email on Wednesday thanks to Covid kitchen measures already in place it "can continue to safely provide that overnight service" in 800 of its drive-thrus.

He added: "With thanks to our delivery partners Uber Eats and Just Eat, more than 800 restaurants will also be offering McDelivery past 10pm."

Here's how McDonald's stores will now operate:

Between 5am and 10pm

Customers can visit for dine-in, takeaway, Drive-thru and order McDelivery through Uber Eats and Just Eat.

After 10pm

Over 800 Drive-thru lanes will remain open and McDelivery will continue to be available in over 800 restaurants via Uber Eats and Just Eat.

Will continue to be served by table service.
