It’s business as usual for the Colonel in Bermuda.

Ginene Haslam, general manager at KFC, said that the restaurant was operating as normal yesterday.

Ms Haslam said: “We are in great shape.”

It comes as hundreds of locations in Britain and Ireland were forced to shut because of a shortage of chicken.

A statement on the restaurant’s Twitter account confirmed the problem.

It said: “We’ve brought a new delivery partner on board, but they’ve had a couple of teething problems.

“Getting fresh chicken out to 900 restaurants across the country is a pretty complex task.

“We won’t compromise on quality, so no deliveries has meant some of our restaurants are closed, as others are operating a limited menu or shortened hours.”

Ms Haslam said the restaurant had not received any calls from concerned local customers.
