Selected KFC, Burger King & Pret Delivery for public (NHS Freebies/Discounts)

On Tuesday, KFC announced that it had reopened some of its outlets for delivery only until the pandemic ends.

The chain said it had reopened 11 sites in total including outlets in Manchester, London, Birmingham, Portsmouth, Ipswich and Glasgow.

A spokesperson for KFC said it hopes to expand the scheme if it is deemed safe to do so by authorities

“Over the last week, we’ve reopened 11 of our restaurants in the UK,” the spokesperson added.

“They’re open for delivery only and are serving a limited menu, operated by fewer team members with new procedures in place to help ensure we’re following social distancing guidelines.

“There’s still a need for affordable, accessible food at this time – so we want to do our part.”

All staff working at the reopened restaurants will follow strict social-distancing and hygiene regimes, KFC said.
