BURGER King in Newport has reopened for business today (Tuesday), serving up a range of carnivorous cuisine via its drive-thru service.

The news follows hot on the heels of Lake's KFC drive-thru reopening this morning, and is part of the fast food chain's aim to open another 70 restaurants for delivery and drive-thru orders this week.

Newport's Burger King is scheduled to open until 10pm this evening, allowing locals to devour one of the famous Whopper burgers or chomp on spicy jalapeno chilli fries.

The Burger King limited menu is available to view here, with patrons advised to pay by card rather than with cash.
