Coronavirus: Isle Of Wight McDonald's WILL Remain Open For Takeaway

The Isle of Wight's McDonald's restaurants will close for dine-in again from Thursday (5), but the chain will continue to offer takeaway services.

The fast food outlet will remain open for takeaway, Drive Thru and McDelivery via Uber Eats and Just Eat when new coronavirus restrictions come into force.

Paul Pomroy, CEO McDonald’s UK & Ireland said McDonalds has made "significant changes" to its operations, including:

  • Fewer people working on each shift, and introducing new measures including additional screens in our kitchens and service areas to provide a safer environment to help you and our teams adhere to social distancing
  • Serving a reduced menu with some restaurants running reduced hours
  • Hand washing at least every 30 minutes and providing sanitiser for our teams, delivery partners and customers
  • Asking customers to respect social distancing guidelines and to wear face coverings when entering the restaurant, using floor markings in our restaurants for takeaway, and signposting routes for customers and delivery partners
  • Cleaning surfaces and equipment, including self-order screens and card readers, even more regularly
  • Providing our teams with additional protective equipment including face coverings, and using contactless thermometers to check their temperature

He said:

"The safety of you and our employees is an absolute priority to us. I am incredibly proud of how our restaurant teams have continued to adapt to the new ways of working and I am also grateful for your understanding as we have all got to grips with a new normal.

"Once again, as we all adjust, I would ask you to be patient with our teams."

The Isle of Wight has two McDonalds restaurants - in Ryde and Newport.
