McDonald's turns away two men who arrived at drive-thru on horse and cart

Two men arrived at a McDonald's drive-thru on a horse and cart but were turned away due to health and safety concerns.

The incident at the Western Links branch of McDonald's in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, was filmed by Jake Sweet. The 24-year-old had stopped to enjoy a Chicken Legend Meal with cheeseburger when the horse pulling the cart trotted past him and the men tried to place an order.

But the two men were apparently turned away due to "not being in a proper vehicle" and a tense stand-off began when the customers started asking to file a complaint, reports Wales Online. Jake claims when they asked to do this, the branch manager threatened to call the police - in what some social media users suggested was a 'mis-carriage of justice'. Admitting defeat, he said the duo apologised to those in the queue behind them and then left looking for a new lunch stop.
