THERE was a steady stream of customers when McDonald’s in Cornmarket opened its doors - but no mad rush.
As lockdown restrictions eased, the burger chain reopened branches in Oxford city centre today, and in Headington and Botley Road.
The branches have reopened for walk-in takeaway with new measures in place to help keep employees and customers safe and there were no queues at lunchtime.
The move follows the successful reopening of county drive-ins.

The company said that with restaurant teams adjusting to new procedures to enable safe working and social distancing, stores will look a little different and things may take a little longer.
Changes include clear signposting and floor-markings to create a one-way system around restaurants for customers and delivery partner couriers, where possible.
A limited number of people will be allowed inside restaurants to help customers and employees adhere to social distancing – this will vary depending upon the restaurant size and layout.

Customers will be welcomed inside when a space becomes available and there is a reduced menu.
A spokesman said: "As employees and the business adapt to a new way of working, McDonald’s would like to thank customers for their continued support and patience.

"Customers are reminded to adhere to the guidance from the government and health authorities, especially if queuing outside restaurants before there is space to enter."
