£2k raised for charity in eye-catching McDonald's Exeter refurbishment

McDonald’s Marsh Barton officially reopened on 3 February following an extensive refurbishment.

The new restaurant boasts all the latest innovations from McDonald’s, including a side-by-side drive thru and improved kitchen facilities.
