The restaurant, just off the A41 bypass to the west of the town, was closed between 5am and 8am on Saturday morning after the leak of carbon dioxide from the drinks dispenser.

Crews used a fan to vent the restaurant before it re-opened later in the morning.

A spokesman for McDonald's said the machine was repaired early in the afternoon and drinks were then able to be dispensed.
