Can I order from the full menu at these stores?

KFC is running a limited menu to help keep workers safe, so not all options are available.

The reduced menu also reflects the fact that less staff are working at one time, due to social distancing measures.

Workers are being kept apart with designated two metre zones inside restaurants, marked by tape on the floor.

KFC said: "We’re serving a limited menu because we’re running our kitchen with a smaller team than usual, so social distancing can be followed."
