THE wait is over for McDonald's fans in Stourbridge as the drive-thru is now open at the ring road restaurant.

The drive-thru off St John's ring road reopened at 11am today (June 4), as the chain gradually reopens across the country.

Nearby branches on Dudley Road in Kingswinford; The Boulevard outside Merry Hill and on Park Road have also reopened to drive-thru customers.

Visitors can expect reduced opening times and limited menus, including no breakfasts, to keep staff safe.

A McDonald's spokesman said: "We are glad to be back but it will look a little different and may take a little longer, so please bear with us.

"We have fewer employees in our kitchens to enable our teams to social distance and work safely.

"We will have a limited menu (no breakfast or Shakes for now) and will open for reduced hours (11am-10pm).

"We encourage you to use contactless payment methods and cap your spend at £25.

"For those visiting our Drive Thrus, you can browse the menu, order and pay ahead using the My McDonald’s App - we’ll start preparing your order when you’re near the restaurant.

"We’re delighted to be returning to communities across the UK and Ireland, thank you for your continued support and patience. We look forward to seeing you soon."
