Burger King has today announced that its restaurants at Grantham and Colsterworth will re-open later 'this week.'

The re-openings come as the fast food giant aims to have 350 restaurants - 68% of its chain - operational by the end of June.

Katie Evans, Marketing Director at Burger King UK said: "We are so pleased to be able to open more restaurants this week and slowly but surely get back to 'normal', ensuring all safety measures are in place."

Safety measures have been put in place to help protect the health of both Burger King employees and customers, following detailed operational testing.

They include additional PPE such as masks and gloves for staff, stringent cleaning measures, contactless delivery options via Deliveroo and Just Eat.

Furthermore, all Burger King staff have been comprehensively trained on the Government's social distancing measures – including how to run kitchens hygienically, whilst abiding by them.

Although the delivery-only service will mean customers won't be able to access the full Burger King menu, Burger King favourites such as the Chicken Royale, Bacon Double Cheeseburger and Whopper will all be available to order.

Grantham's Burger Kings are on the corner of Harlaxton Road and Springfield and on the north of the town at Gonerby Moor by the service station.
