A man tried to use a McDonald’s drive-thru while on the back of his horse.

The brazen customer attempted to order while mounted on his steed but staff at the fast food restaurant in Beccles, Suffolk, were having none of it.

They ordered him to dismount before they were willing to serve him at around 1pm on Thursday.

The customer really wanted a coffee so did not argue.


Instead he trotted to the parking bay, got off his horse and then tied it up.

Jason Barrett, 43, watched the bizarre incident while he was queuing for his lunch at McDonald’s.



‘I had to do a double take because you don’t see that every day,’ he said.

‘But I looked around and no one seemed to be bothered, I just thought people must be used to it.’

Mr Barrett, a digital and social marketing consultant, said he heard the man had rode his horse to Tesco a few days earlier.

He added: ‘The horse was just waiting for him to get his shopping and they went off.’

McDonald’s didn’t see the funny side though, with a spokesperson saying: ‘Our drive-thru lanes are specifically designed for roadworthy motor vehicles only and are therefore not suitable for horses.

‘Our crew advised the customers of this policy and invited them inside the restaurant, where they were more than happy to be served.’
