Archie's is reopening some of its Manchester restaurants for collection

Manchester-based burger chain Archie's is starting to reopen its restaurants for collection.

The fast food brand has been offering delivery during lockdown but is now opening up two branches for customers to call in and order takeaways too.

Announcing the news on Instagram, bosses wrote: "We know so many of you didn't live in our delivery range, so we've adapted our stores.

"Health and safety is our top priority at Archie's, so we've revised and enhanced our procedures in line with the government's regulations so we can continue to serve you delicious burgers."

The stores reopening for collection are the Manchester Arndale branch and the larger of its two Oxford Road stores (115 Oxford Road).

The chain also has sites at Piccadilly, Birmingham and Liverpool, but there's no news yet on when they might offer collection.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Archie's was established on Oxford Road in 2010.

It had also been due to open two more restaurants at the Trafford Centre and Manchester Airport later this year, but it is not yet clear what impact the current crisis will have on those plans.

The brand has won a cult following over the last decade, with a menu that features black and pink burger buns, celebrity collaborations with the likes of the Hollyoaks and Corrie casts, and visits from stars including Rita Ora and Floyd Mayweather.

To support local hospitality businesses affected by the lockdown, we've created the takeaway widget above (click 'display interactive content' if you can't see it on your device).

Business owners can use it to list their own food and drink delivery or collection services - and customers can use it to search for restaurants and bars in their area that are open for takeaway.

Please note that the widget will display results for a five-mile radius of your postcode - which may not always match up exactly with the restaurant's delivery radius. Check directly with your chosen restaurant to see if they can deliver to you - or if they have a collection service you can use instead.
