Last week, McDonald's reopened 15 of its branches for delivery.
Following a successful trial, the fast food chain announced that more of its stores would be reopening this week - some with drive-thrus- and would be serving up a limited menu, with a price cap of £15.
In a statement to customers, McDonald's said: "Moving in step with government guidelines, we plan to reopen all our Drive-Thrus by early June. We will keep the restaurant locator on our website updated as our Drive Thrus reopen over the coming weeks.
"When your local Drive Thru does reopen, it will be different. Our service will not be as quick as you might be used to, as we adjust to smaller teams and social distancing in our kitchens," a statement said.
"We expect there will be some queues for some of our busier sites and our restaurants will look different, with Perspex screens at our Drive Thru windows and employees wearing protective equipment.
"I ask that you continue to be supportive of and patient with our restaurant teams as we slowly and safely return. We are asking all of our employees to adapt to how our restaurants now work, and will only reopen at a pace that enables them to work safely.
"As we get accustomed to the new processes and procedures, we will look to reopen more restaurants, for longer hours and reintroduce more menu items. But only when I am confident we can do so whilst maintaining the new procedures we have introduced for the protection of our people."
Now McDonald's has updated the list of restaurants that have reopened.
The open branches are as follows:
- Dunstable
- Garston (Watford)
- Luton - Chaul End Lane
- Luton George Street
- Luton Leagrave
- Luton Retail Park, Gipsy Lane
- Boongate Peterborough
- Bourges Boulevard
- Eye Green
- Peterborough, Glinton
- Peterborough, Hampton
- Peterborough, Morrisons
- Essex, Boreham Interchange
- Chelmsford Riverside
- Chelmsford, Regiment Business Park
- Chelmsford Westway
Unfortunately it looks like us Northerners will have to wait a bit longer to get our chicken nugget fix, but hopefully it won't be too long until some Manchester branches are back up and running.
