A spokesman said: “To help our smaller teams, we will be offering a limited menu – no breakfast, wraps or shakes over reduced hours 11am-10pm.

“We continue to ask that you limit your spend to £25 and use contactless payment methods wherever possible.

“Our teams are adjusting to new safety and hygiene procedures, which will help them to work safely and social distance; we appreciate your continued patience.”

McDonald’s said it will confirm the locations of the reopening restaurants each morning from June 2, on its website and social media channels.

A spokesman added: “We are delighted to be returning to communities across the UK and Ireland, but it will look different and will take a little longer. Please bear with us.”
