But all have now been temporarily closed after the Government ordered all restaurants to shut.

On Sunday evening, McDonald’s announced all of its restaurants in the UK will close indefinitely by 7pm on Monday evening.



The fast-food chain had previously made its takeaway and drive-thru services still available.

‘This is not a decision we are taking lightly, but one made with the wellbeing and safety of our employees in mind as well as the best interests of our customers,’ a statement from McDonald’s read.

‘We will work with local community groups to responsibly distribute food and drink from our restaurants in the coming days.

‘Thank you to our brilliant employees for their hard work during this incredibly challenging time.

‘We look forward to seeing you all again as soon as it is safe for us to reopen.’
