Fast food chain Burger King has reopened its Gravesend town centre outlet from today.

The Thamesgate Shopping Centre restaurant in New Road, is now open for delivery and takeaway at the counter only, with customers able to place their orders via Deliveroo or Just Eat.

By the end of June, Burger King are working towards re-opening 350 restaurants.

The company says safety is its "number one priority", and that procedures have been put in place to safeguard the health of both Burger King employees and customers, following detailed operational testing.

These include additional PPE such as masks and gloves for staff, stringent cleaning measures, contactless delivery options and staff training on the Government’s social distancing measures.

A limited menu will be available until operation returns to normal.

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.”
