Came here to buy a pot of ice cream.Paid and got my receipt. Waited 10 minutes and my order didn’t appear on the collection screen.Went to the till and asked politely if they had an update on my order.The staff member said i had to pay again and that it hadn’t gone through.I showed both my receipt and my bank statement and the man refused to give me my food and was trying to get me to pay again.Had to argue for 15 minutes with the shift manager just to get my ice cream-such rude staff and waste of my time.

Our coach stopped this evening at burger king in builth. It was quite late however the staff kindly allowed us to gain access to the toilet. I was disgusted by the behaviour of a young white female staff member. She was very rude and treated a young black male staff member appallingly. Clean the toilets yourself next time madam and learn how to respect customers and other staff members.

Needed a quick meal after the rally. The floor was covered in food and rubbish, the service was slow and the food indifferent. The staff clearly can't be bothered to put any effort in or keep the place clean. It was disgusting 🤢

Website states open until 9pm on Saturday night. Arrived at 8.45pm after a 90 minute drive home and the restaurant was already closed. Called the manager this morning who offered excuses but didn’t convince me that the website would be updated. However, having now read the recent reviews, I think I was fortunate to find it closed!

Arrived in the morning just before 11:00 - lights on, staff inside, but couldn’t get in - walked round the back trying to find an entrance as everything was locked, only to be lambasted by the manager that “we don’t open until 11:00 - you shouldn’t be here” - No signage to show opening hours or that they were closed. FAIL. Premises outside filthy, full of rubbish and poorly presented. FAIL. Bins outside overflowing. FAIL. Waited until 11:00AM and went in. Grimy premises, unwashed tables, so I turned round and left having had enough. They seem to have forgotten that the business is to sell - if you’re closed, no signage and unwashed then the customer will go elsewhere like I did. Oh and on my last visit I got a bad stomach after eating here - Never again.

After stopping at restaurant today on way back from Liverpool to Blaenau Gwent with my husband and 2 children , I went to put my 1 son in high chair but after seeing the mess on there I didn’t bother , the other child wanted to use toilet and I couldn’t believe the mess and filth I was seeing so left immediately without ordering food , contacted store via telephone from outside and asked to speak to manger for head office number to which he gave me a mobile number , he said he’d cleaned the toilets himself 🤮 , rang mobile number I was given which was supposedly to be headoffice to it being busy , rang again a few minutes later to speak to a lady with not very good English I asked was she the managers wife to which she replied yes I put phone down , I was then rung back by another lady off same number stating she was another manager of the branch I explained I’d emailed headoffice and contacted environmental and she put phone down

The ambiance was frosty and the decor was outdated and drab. There was an unlocked broom cupboard that a girl was doing handstands in with no shoes on. Weird. The food quality was dry and the staff seemed disillusioned with the whole thing. All in all I will not be making a reappearance.

Deeply regret visiting here yesterday with my family. Praying that we do not become ill as a result. The toilets were extremely dirty, overflowing sanitary bins, several used sanitary products on the floors in the disabled and women's toilet. The men’s toilet was not in use so the men were using the disabled toilets. There was no hand wash in any of the toilets. I informed staff that the toilets were in immediate need of cleaning , in case they were not aware and I also reported that there was no hand wash for us to wash our hands. Understanding that during busy periods toilets can need additional cleaning. They stated that they knew there was no hand wash, the company that supply the hand wash only come every 2 weeks. The hand wash has run out and they can do nothing about it until the company come back I could not believe what I was hearing so I asked to speak to the manager, I was sure there must be a mistake, that if they knew there was no hand wash they would resolve this as it is a public safety issue, and easily resolved. The manager came the the counter, I repeated my concerns to him about there being no soap for customers to wash their hands and how this was essential to avoid the spread of bacteria especially in a restaurant preparing and selling food, customers using shared screens to order food etc, He repeated what the first staff member said, that the company that provides soap only comes every 2 weeks and they had run out so there was nothing he could do. I pointed to across the road where there is a shop and said surely in the interest of hygiene for the customers and staff they could buy some hand wash until the company that supplies the hand wash returns. The manager said ‘no why should I pay for it out of my own money?’ I said surely you can get some as this is essential for customers and staff to be able to wash their hands after using the toilet , a basic need, to prevent germs spreading and potentially people becoming Ill. He then laughed and said ‘ this is boring. I told him that I could not believe that he was laughing and thought this was acceptable and I left the restaurant very concerned for the welfare of customers eating here with such dangerous hygiene conditions. I am shocked and horrified at the responce he gave these staff need educating about basic food hygiene and health and safety. People’s health is being put at risk. I am also thinking that maybe the company that supply the hand wash may also empty the sanitary bins which is why they were overflowing onto the floors?

If you're looking for an adventure that challenges your notions of cleanliness and tests your gag reflex, this Burger King's urban-explorer dining experience might just be the ticket. Just be sure to bring your sense of humor, and maybe a pair of gloves – because who knows what artistic creations you'll encounter on the floor next? #dirtytampax

- Menu screens did not work and staff were too rude to assist (screens were clearly also contaminated with germs - DIRTY) - Tables not cleaned and floor looked like it had just had the local cows in - Mens toilets were closed which I understand if they are unavailable but then we go onto the disabled toilet where we had to result in using….used tampax on the floor with no toilet roll and no hand wash & toilet paper all over the floor. - My daughter then went to use the women’s toilets where there was no hand was either and the sink full of toilet paper and general mess. - Manager made aware of the toilets before we was eating as we wanted to wash our hands - as we was leaving they still hadn’t been sorted. - Manager laughed as we raised the concern again - the toilets area managed apparently by a 3rd party and they only get hand wash delivered every 2 weeks. Staff raised her voice & very rude (I think you need to invest in customer service). - If the toilets don’t have hand wash then what dose the kitchen use? What do your staff use to wash their hands? Formal complaint and raising to local health & hygiene with relevant photos. If you’re wanting to stop by for some lunch there is a lovely Greggs across road.

Stopped for a quick bite on way to South Wales. Lots of cars waiting for drive thru. Same car waiting at front 12 mins later when I finally decided to leave. Used restroom (which was clean), then went to order food......all 20 tables filled with empty food packaging people waiting had to clear their own tables!!! Two tables filled with piles of trays. Very poor hygiene. Service exceptionally slow and 3 errors in the time I was there. Finally decided to leave after 12 mins of waiting, without being served - and only 2 people in front of me in queue. Customer service was non-existent. Very Poor.

Not long opened after a drive thru has been added, only to find the drive thru was closed and blocked off with cones whilst 5 vehicles were waiting. So reluctantly went inside. There was one young girl serving at the counter and there was clearly 6 people who had ordered and waiting for their food. We stood in the queue for 25 minutes and not one person received their food out of the people who were waiting and one person extra had been served. Just before we gave up a man who was waiting asked where was his food because his order was not on the processing screen and was greeted with a limp sorry and the server then wandered off. McDonald’s here we come!

Each time I go into the Burger King Builth wells I question why I ever thought to go back in there. Over priced, un-hygienic and uncomfortable atmosphere with the supervisor shouting very loudly and talking badly to other members of staff. I thought I’d write this purely cause of how uncomfortable the poor young girl who was obviously being trained looked, and was being spoken to. However the overal reason for this review, was down to when I went in prior where a young girl was very sick in work, sneazinto Her hands in the back of the workspace and not washing them, wearing outdoor jackets inside the workspace and whilst holding a cigarette in her hand continued to press buttons on the frying machines. When another member of staff (new young boy) saw I was aware of this he asked her to go outside for Herndon’s break, only to be spoken to terribly by the previously mentioned supervisor! would never reccoment, but sometimes chillie cheese bites need to be eaten!

Previous peoples reviews says it all .But here goes. My family and freinds have used this place for many years at least twice a year when on our way ti Tenby when it was A LITTLE CHEF and when it combined with BURGER KING, always a welcome ''halfway stop'' for a meal and washroom facilities. Stoped there around noon on the 11th of May. What a dump this as become. Food cold and moist! Seating area like an old style greassy spoon cafe. Expected to clear up your own table which is'nt so bad but no sign of table arers being cleand. As for the toilets, least said the better.

I was travelling from Warrington to Port Talbot and i stopped at this Burger King for a bite to eat. I hardly every stop off at fast food chains but my choices where limited and my stomach was cramping like a runners legs after a full marathon. When i entered the fast food chain restaurant it was like a scene from the Chernobyl incident or the PS4 game Fallout. The young lady that served me looked like she was on her final warning and waiting for the next person to compliant so she could be made redundant to stop her nightmare of working in this overpriced pit. I ordered a XL bacon and cheese burger meal, after waiting over 15 mins for my meal i was served a burger which i could only describe as the rat burger in the film The Demolition Man but not even Sylvester Stallone in his prime could hold this burger down. I spent most of my time on the toilet when i got home, to the point i had to break out the double quilted bog roll to sooth the pain. I wouldn't bother stopping at this restaurant unless you want a few days of work. I can only describe the food as cold overpriced slop. Don't go here.

How embarrassing for her, poor thing. I couldn’t believe he did this in front of not just me and my family others too.. should be ashamed!

Went into little chef at 4:30 to be told we close at 3:00 so went into Burgerking and asked the girl about the choice on the menu and chose what was a chicken strip burger meal. I sat down at the grubby table and waited. There were other people being served there take away meals. I was called and given my meal, while I was waiting there was the constant sound of a fire alarm style bell going off which was very annoying. Piping hot chips with a little salt, nice coffee if a little on the weak side and a soggy bun with something that resembled string in a soggy coating and tasted sweet, when I removed the coating the chicken seemed slimy so didn't eat it. When I left I went up to the young man behind the counter and gave him the burger and said it didn't taste right and was slimy to which he said right and walked off. I then left and went to my car and I will never return again.

Went there on a Friday evening, ended up spending £21 on 2 meals and sides, I'm not new to the burger king so I'm aware of the pricing, however when the meals are sub standard that's when I have an issue, had to wait about 10 minutes when it wasn't busy... The fries were disgusting...tasted like the oil hadn't been changed in ages and they were stone cold, the onion rings were also the same! And my burger...which is the most expensive one they do had some of the ingredients missing... Which defeated the point of me buying the premium burger in the 1st place, the only saving grace was the staff who were courteous and apologetic. How this place gets good reviews I don't know! "Have it your way"....if I had it my way this place would be sold off in the hopes someone could do the franchise justice!

The restaurant was clean, and it was nice to see a member of staff out on the seating area checking everything.

Besides the fact that it's very grubby, the staff are either not interested or alive, and that you have to wait for ages for your 'fast' food, it's OK. If you read that again it means it's well worth finding somewhere else. Sorry BK.

Called in on the way back from a business meeting in Llandrindod wells. The middle aged short haired lady behind the counter serving was extremely rude, no please or thank you, wouldn't even let me finish my order before shouting the price. Food took a reasonable time to arrive but my burger was undercooked. Only toilets available were in little chef next door. Ladies was out of order and the horror when i used the disabled toilet due to no other option...absolutely filthy!! Tap fell off in my hand after use, no toilet paper, wet toilet paper and urine all over the floor - clearly hadn't been checked all day. As a frequent visitor of little chef in st clears, this definitely is an embarrassment to the rest of the chain. Will never return again!!!

Went to spring fair ordered food at burger king didn't have what wanted so had something else. Asked for salt got told didn't have any or bacon, that was that food took a while to come so not really a fast food outlets the staff made quite a few mistakes in taking order and making ice creams. Needs more staff

Requested a table for 4 - given a table with 2 chairs and told to find more chairs from the restaurant.Ordered 2 cooked breakfasts with double hash browns and fried bread - received single hash brown and unbuttered toast. When I mentioned the lack of fried bread I was told we were lucky to get toast instead as it is harder to make, what with having to scrape the burnt bits off! Ordered banana pancakes with Maple syrup - received without any maple syrupOrdered single espresso - received double espressoNo salt, pepper, sauces or butter offeredVery expensive for average foodPlease note this Little Chef has a Food Hygiene rating of 3

Go elsewhere - or expect a very long wait. We waited for an hour to be told that our breakfast order had not been uploaded to the kitchen - we left

Visited the Little Chef in Builth Wells on our way up to North Wales on Friday and on way back Monday. Had to complain for the delay in food of Friday and complained again as they had missed parts of the meal off. Chefs are not looking to see what it says the meals include on the menus. Monday was complaints again with long delays and bits missing off the meals i.e no grated cheese on salad, no onions with hot dog, no onion rings with steak then when we got them onions were raw, medium rare steak was well done and so tough you couldn't eat it. Asked to see the manager who apologised but didn't compensate us at all and told to write to head office to get some vouchers! Really?! I won't be returning to spend them!

Having used the little chef in Builth wells regular as a half way stop to Cardiff , I can see now why the little chef chain has diminished ! We ordered 2 breakfasts which took 30 minutes to arrive and I must say the place was scruffy and the attitude of the waitress when I said if it doesn't arrive shortly we where leaving ! She just shrugged her shoulders ! Quality was poor , cheap bacon and sausage , coffee tasteless ! Wouldn't visit there again !! Most disappointed , the microwave operator / chef apologised as we left !!

Ordered 2 different takeaway meals. Coffee was lukewarm; food was hot. Food hygiene didn't seem up to much.Both of us had a dreadful dodgy stomachs for hours after it. If you value your stomach don't eat here.

Ordered a cheeseburger with no gherkins and came with them! Also my chips came cold and found a hair in it!! The staff also watched me eat my food whilst talking about the nights out and what they get up to on those nights (their sex life)!! Not impressed at all. Don't think I've ever felt so uncomfortable eating out with my friends!

Stopped here on recent trip up through Wales about 8am with my husband and son. The idea was to have breakfast and after deciding a full English might be to much opted for the breakfast buttys at £4.99. What arrived was two sausages on 2 thin pieces of bread, unbuttered I had to do that myself. It also seemed to take longer then necessary to cook. Not impressed and won't return.

Called in, on passing, for a cup of tea.Decided to have the Danish pastry offer between us. After half an hour three pastries arrived- not the ones ordered.When we complained we were told that what we were given was all the choice they had- could we not have been told this when putting in the order?It would surely been more courteous to inform us that our choices were not available before serving us with a totally different variation to what we ordered.Have called in here at various times over the years and never had such bad, couldn't care less attitude to customers before. Will think twice before returning.

Eaten here a couple of times recently for a takeout,a strange experience indeed,the sandwiches on both occasions were luke warm to say the least.Both time they appeared in seconds but the taste and texture of the meat patty is really weird and certainly not flame grilled.When u opened the sanwich everything just fell out.This place must be really busy as the car park bins were overstuffed and overflowing everywhere.,the last visit they were dealing with blocked drains out the back which had some staff in hysteria,the place was a right state so i left without odering anything

I had visited the store today, staff one at front of service and one cooking, neither looked happy. I bought a chicken royale. Nothing royal about it. It tasted like the cooking oil hadn't been changed in a whilst. Even people I was with commented on how it smelt. It tasted worse.

NO ONE TO MEET AND GREET. Sat at table and watched the 3 staff disappear out the back!The staff then reappeared one by oneThe cook started shouting and faffing about with hot water etcThe female staff member operated the till, however she had a shouting match with the cook on what the customers had to eat!!Eventually the cook shouted at the third member of staff to come and serve us. Not the most hygienic looking person I have seen, his uniform was filthy.After watching the two male staff mucking around for five plus minutes we decided to leave as they hadn't even started on our order.The restaurant was not busy, a table of four left just after we arrived and there was one other lady with a small child plus us two.As we left the female staff member was cleaning a table. advised her we were going

Visited this establishment on a recent weekend afternoon. The glass entrance doors were covered in greasy fingerprints and once inside, the place looked messy and grubby. Tables hadn't been cleaned after the prior occupants and there were discarded chips and bits of litter under the tables. Managed to get a table as we were eating in. When food arrived, burgers were lukewarm. The whole place looked and felt like it could do with a thorough clean. I doubt we'll return as we prefer hot, rather than lukewarm food and a clean, pleasant environment in which to eat! The company (or franchisee) should pay an unexpected visit! We were very disappointed.

Very friendly welcome from the Little Chef staff (this is a combined Burger King and Little Chef). They were very knowledgeable and friendly throughout, and attentive without being intrusive. It has been a good while since I or my partner have visited a Little Chef, and the food was just as I remembered. They got all the little details right - including hard-fried eggs as per my partner's request. Big thumbs up from two hungry travelers.

Went to Burger King for an afternoon lunch and a change of scene. This was my second visit and once again I was not disappointed.Our food was ready almost as soon as we had sat down and was very nice indeed - the burger was also much larger than I anticipated - but I still managed it. The lady serving us was incredibly friendly and we had a wonderful afternoon.I look forward to my third visit.

We were on our way to London and we stopped and got 5 of the freshest made burgers ever! They were yumm! and great chips too. Thanks for the little toy that kept the kids going till they fell asleep! Keep It Up!

We often eat here as it's a halfway point on a long trip we make every year. On the way down it was very busy and the burgers looked sat upon, things missed off (but rectified without quibble) and the onion rings impressed me in their awfulness: quite an achievement to get an acrid burnt taste without a crisp exterior, all lukewarm and floppy. On the return journey: the burgers all looked like the photo (a first for me in any burger chain) and everything as crisp and tasty as you'd expect.

Avoid at all costs. It is clear the MD tried to con the TV company and Heston to get free advertising.He should get his fat a*se into the business and roll his sleeves up.If I owned Little Chef Builth Wells I would be ashamed. Rename the chain as ' Can't Be Ars*d' and at least we will expect what we get.

They were good but those days are long gone. Now combined with the Little Chef the place is tiny and okay, it was a Sunday but the wait was not worth it. Tried ordering a burger but was told there would be a wait of about 15 minutes and this is meant to be a fast food place so it would probably have been about 30 minutes judging by the number of people hanging around waiting for their order - not a good atmosphere and not surprised. Finished up having a coffee and getting hold of extra milk seemed like 'too much trouble' for the staff. Problem is there isn't really an alternative in this part of the world on a main road but still - best avoid and just go without.

I cannot believe I had gone back to this place, as the earlier visit was marginally forgettable other than the denial of the publicised incentive for a free beer with the meal.The second time was equally forgettable. At best a warm seat on a cold night.

This McDonalds is disgusting, after the last time we said never again so our own fault really. Burgers are stone cold, chips undercooked. When asking the Manager "is it okay to ask for warm food?" he just scoffed "you can try". Absolute mayhem in there. Save yourself the bother and go over the road to Burger King.

Been a few times and normal leave happy. But unfortunately the last few times I've visited in the early hours of the morning I've been told the tills are updating and orders can't be taken for around 20 minutes. Obviously only a slight inconvenience but kind of defeats the object of being 24hours and wanting to grab a quick snack after work.

This is a great food place. I had the cheesy chips with nuggets and my grandparents had large cod with chips. I go there ALOT. Although i did have to wait a long time once its alright.
