McDonald's confirms which Leeds restaurants will close following third national lockdown

In a statement this evening, the chain announced that dine-in and walk-in services will close from 11pm on Tuesday.

Customers will only be able to pick up an order via a drive-thru or through McDelivery on Uber Eats and JustEat.

This means that all Leeds branches without a drive-thru will close to customers, providing only delivery services.

This includes the city centre restaurants in Briggate and Merrion Street.

Click and collect orders placed through the My McDonald's app will be available at drive-thru restaurants only.

The statement read: "Following the government announcements, we are pleased to remain open, but with a few changes.

"Our restaurants across the UK & Ireland will be open for Drive-thru and McDelivery.

"Click & Serve through the My McDonald's app will be available at our Drive-thru restaurants.

"Dine-in and Walk-in takeaway service will be temporarily closed in all restaurants from 11pm tonight while we review and verify any additional enhanced safety measures for these services."

McDonald's advised customers to expect longer serving times as restaurants operate with smaller teams and social distancing in kitchens.

The statement added: "Our restaurants are working incredibly hard in difficult circumstances, your kindness and patience is greatly appreciated.

"We will continue to keep you updated on any changes through our website and social media channels."
