Fast-food giant McDonald's announces it plans to shut all its walk-in and dine-in branches from 11pm tonight

McDonald's is to close all its branches in Cambridgeshire for walk-in takeaways from 11pm today.

The fast-food giant issued a statement saying that it would have to temporarily shut its doors due to the start of the third national lockdown.

But burger fans need not totally despair - it will still be operating its drive-thru and delivery services.

It tweeted to say its dine-in and walk-in takeaway services would be temporarily closed in all restaurants from 11pm today "while we review and verify any additional enhanced safety measures for these services".

It also warned: "With smaller teams and social distancing in the kitchen it will take longer to serve you."
