McDonalds closes all restaurants for takeaway during new lockdown

McDonald's has announced that all UK restaurants will remain shut for takeaway and dine in throughout lockdown.

Only Drive Thrus, McDelivery and Click&Serve through the My McDonald's app is available at its drive-thru restaurants throughout the third lockdown.

Bosses announced on social media the restaurants will remain closed "while we review and verify any additional enhanced safety measures for these services".

Dine-in was already closed under tier four restrictions in Scotland but walk-in and take away was still available.

In a statement, they said: "Following the government announcements, we are pleased to remain open, but with a few changes. We know this is a really difficult time for everyone and we really appreciate your patience and kindness, both with our crew and online."

McDonald's also said that customers can potentially expect longer serving times as they are operating with smaller teams and social distancing in place.

The decision was made after Scotland and the UK have entered into lockdown again, with the "stay at home" message a legal requirement across each of Scotland's mainland council areas.
