24-hour McDonald's drive-thru opens at Notts services near A1 in Blyth

A new 24-hour drive-thru McDonald's has opened in Nottinghamshire at motor services near the A1 at Blyth. The restaurant, at Blyth's Euro Garages has created around 80 new jobs, a mix of full and part-time, for the area.

It follows a significant investment by local franchisee, Mark Clapham, who now operates 11 restaurants across Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire. The 24/7 restaurant has table service, self-ordering kiosks, a large outside patio area and a drive thru with smart digital menu boards - plus a click and collect service..

Mr Clapham said: "We are delighted to have opened another brand-new McDonald’s restaurant in Euro Garages and can’t wait to see the local Blyth customers, both new and old, enjoy our services on offer. People are at the heart of our business, and we look forward to welcoming new employees with the jobs our restaurant will create.
