KFC opens one Sunderland branch for delivery and drive thru - here's what's on the smaller menu

Sunderland’s KFC in Chester Road, Pennywell, has reopened to customers for both delivery and drive thru – with a limited menu on offer.

It is among 500 of the chain’s UK restaurants to reopen providing contactless delivery – with some also offering a drive thru service.

The other three eateries in Sunderland and Washington remain closed.

A KFC spokesman said: “By the end of this week, KFC fans in over 500 locations will be reunited with their favourite fried chicken via contactless delivery.

“Although not all fan favourites have made the limited menu, which is designed to help team members maintain social distancing in the kitchen, all the classics are back.”
