Peninsula Pub takeaways offer alternative for now as McDonalds close across UK
A raft of pubs on the peninsula are still offering takeaways for now just as McDonald's countrywide will close by 7pm today.
However, the Brantham Bull has decided not to carry on selling takeaways, despite a relatively successful weekend, and has closed the doors until further notice.
Paula and Gemma Chenery told customers: "At the end of the day we are being told to stay indoors to protect ourselves against a very dangerous virus and we need to do what's right for our family, staff and customers.
"So today we have decided to close the doors until further notice , we have put everything in to the Brantham bull for eight years and this year we can definitely say it has been the hardest of them all
but we will be back, we just have to be patient." Meanwhile, all the fast-food chain's restaurants in the UK and Ireland are shutting as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. However, the company has pledged to work with community groups to distribute food and drink. The move comes after the Government ordered restaurants, cafes, pubs and other public places to close in a bid to stem the spread of the disease. A spokesman said: "We have taken the difficult decision to close all McDonald's restaurants in the UK and Ireland by 7pm on Monday, 23 March at the latest. "This is not a decision we are taking lightly, but one made with the well-being and safety of our employees in mind as well as in the best interests of our customers. "We will work with community groups to responsibly distribute food and drink from our restaurants in the coming days. "Thank you to our brilliant employees for their hard work during this incredibly challenging time. "We look forward to seeing you all again as soon as it's safe for us to reopen." Pubs from across the peninsula have joined the Lasan and Laws Cottage, in providing takeaway food. Some of the menus can be found on our Local List businesses directory here.
