Burger King is reopening a further 70 UK outlets for delivery and drive-thru orders only next week.

The fast food giant was forced to close on 24 March after Boris Johnson announced a nationwide lockdown but has begun easing back into business in recent weeks.

The chain has pledged to open 20 branches per week until all of its 500 UK restaurants are back in operation.

So far, Burger King has reopened 50 sites in the UK, with a further 72 set to follow suit on 18 May.

Executives at the firm have revealed 54 locations for these restaurants, with the remaining 18 outlets to be confirmed in the next few days.

All staff at the reopened outlets will be provided with gloves and face masks and following social distancing guidelines, Burger King said.

Customers can place their orders on delivery services such as Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat.

Announcing the move, Katie Evans, marketing director at Burger King UK, said: “We hope that re-opening these restaurants for delivery services goes some way to lifting our customers’ spirits in these difficult times.”

Burger King is among a number of chains that have started to resume business in recent days, having been out of action for almost two months.

KFC, Nando's, Pret A Manger, Starbucks and Subway have all either reopened sites for delivery and takeaway or announced plans to do so soon.

On Wednesday, McDonald’s began trading from 15 sites across the UK after carrying out “operational tests” late last month.

Paul Pomroy, McDonald’s chief executive officer for the UK and Ireland, said: “When we return it will be different as we all adjust to this new normal.

“I want to apologise in advance if our first wave of reopened restaurants does not serve your area.”

He added: “Rest assured, we are working hard to reopen more restaurants, but I am adamant this must be at the right pace with the wellbeing of our employees, suppliers and customers front of mind.

“Slowly, but safely, we will return to towns and cities across the UK and Ireland, and thank you for your continued support as we work through this crisis.”
