Whilst it has tables it is definitely a take away where you can choose to sit down or walk out with your food, fast food with seating=yes is a better definition. In Welsh McDonalds this is slightly different as you are charged for paper bags so do have to specify when ordering, or take your own bag. At Chirk drivethrough it is amusing to see Big Macs being passed to the driver one at a time . Phil (trigpoint)
