The chain has already opened several restaurants as part of its phased plan.
The restaurants reopening this week are:
- Aberdeen
- Dundee
- Havant
- Hillington
- Merton
- Reading
- Springfield Quay
- Southampton
All the newly reopened Burger Kings will start service from midday and close at 11pm.
Customers can place their orders using delivery services Deliveroo and Just Eat.
You won’t be able to access the full Burger King menu, but favourites such as the Chicken Royale, Bacon Double Cheeseburger, and Whopper will all be available.
The Havant restaurant is also the first Burger King drive-thru to be reopened.
Burger King says it is trialling this at Havant and then hoping to open more drive-thru Burger Kings in the coming weeks.
It will also open between 12pm and 11pm from tomorrow and will offer the same limited menu as is available for delivery.
Customers in Havant can also place delivery orders through Just Eat or Deliveroo.
Following this week, and as part of its phased reopening plan, Burger King will reopen one restaurant in every city by May 31.
