WITH one last day of the Easter weekend, McDonald’s fans will need to know when stores are open.
To avoid missing out on your favourite happy meals, it’s important you check the opening times of your local branch.

Most restaurants are closed for indoor dining due to the coronavirus pandemic and will not reopen until mid-April.
But customers can still pick up McDonald’s take away, drive-thru or have their happy meals delivered.
Customers should be aware that branches may be operating reduced hours over the bank holiday.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When does McDonald’s open over Easter 2021?
McDonald’s restaurants should be operating as normal over Easter weekend.
However, opening times vary from branch to branch and some may be operating at slightly reduced hours.
Since closing times at McDonald’s branches differ, it’s always a good idea to check your local restaurant’s hours.
You can do this using the branch finder on the fast food chain’s website.
This will also provide further information about the store facilities and stock.
McDonald’s told the Sun that customers can get the most up to date information on operating hours at their local branch over Easter via the My McDonald’s App or the restaurant locator.
We’ve asked if there are any branches that are closing all day over the Easter break and will update this page when we know more.
Is McDonald’s delivering over the Easter weekend?
Mcdonald’s should still be offering delivery services over Easter weekend but this will depend on the store’s opening hours.
The fast food chain told the Sun that customers will need to head to JustEat or Uber Eats for information on deliveries from franchises this weekend.
When are the Easter holidays this year?
For 2021, the spring bank holiday weekend falls earlier than it did last year – in the first week of April.
