McDonald's home delivery date set for UK

McDonald's revealed it when it will reopen a handful of UK restaurants during coronavirus lockdown.

Fans have speculated its return after the fast-food chain shut all of its restaurants in March.

Now McDonald's plans to bring back 15 sites for delivery in mid-May, but are remaining tight-lipped on which ones will reopen, The Mirror reports.

It is not yet known if a McDonald's will reopen in Scotland - but the chain is set to announced the locations next week.

In a statement on Friday, McDonald's chief executive, Paul Pomroy, said the new restaurants will reopen on May 13.

He said branches will be "different" as the nation adapts to a "new normal.

"When we return it will be different as we all adjust to this new normal," he said.

"I want to apologise in advance if our first wave of reopened restaurants does not serve your area.

"Rest assured, we are working hard to reopen more restaurants, but I am adamant this must be at the right pace with the wellbeing of our employees, suppliers and customers front of mind.

"Slowly, but safely, we will return to towns and cities across the UK and Ireland, and thank you for your continued support as we work through this crisis."

The opening hours have been restricted and the menu has been cut down to make it easier for staff members as service resumes.
