Franchisee John O’Dwyer, who owns six restaurants in the local area, said: “I’m looking forward to being able to bring my new-look restaurant to West Grinstead and would like to thank our local customers for bearing with us while the transformation takes place. I’m confident the changes will offer visitors to the restaurant more choice as to how to they order, and I am particular excited to introduce the ‘click and collect’ app to my customers.”

The restaurant is due to be closed until October 11.

Buck Barn McDonald’s is a favourite with many throughout the Horsham district and is the closets McDonald’s for residents in Horsham following the closure of the Bishopric restaurant in 2014.

One customer said: “We were really disappointed to get there to find it was closed without any warning.”
