The unusual sight sparked fears on social media as one person reported seeing 'army trucks' and another said the army was in town to support the NHS during the coronavirus outbreak.
We sent a reporter to the scene to help reassure readers as to what was happening near the town centre retail park.
Members of the crew confirmed they are filming an advert for the fast food chain.
There were tents and the trucks, with the grenade logo, outside the resturant for the crew members and filming.
It was nothing related to the army themselves.
