“Can I have a large onion rings please?” “Regular onion rings?” “No, a large please.” Charged for a large. When I got back to the truck I had a regular portion. Won’t be back. Edit: I’d posted this before I ate the food and revised my score down afterwards. Onion rings weren’t even fresh.

The food came relatively quick, which is appreciated. Unfortunately, they gave me a double cheeseburger that was very burnt, making the burger patties hard and crunchy! They quickly made it right, but that should have never been served in the first place.

If I could give 0 stars for the food I would. Absolutely appalling, ordered a steakhouse crispy with an extra fillet and a double whopper with cheese. My daughter works at Burger King in Scotland and we always get the same order so please tell me why there was no mayo on the whopper and no bbq sauce on the steakhouse? We were travelling down for a weekend away and I won’t be back here!! The girl that served us was lovely and I do not have a bad thing to say about her as her service skills were great but food was shocking! So thank you to the lovely lady but the person making the food needs retrained to proper standards. Happened 09/07/2024 around 5pm.

We had breakfast at Burgerking, we ordered three king breakfast, I asked for no cheese and sauce on one breakfast and no sauce on the other two. The girl that served us attitude was like I don't care and couldn't be bothered to do her job. She told me that it didn't come with cheese or sauce even when pointed out to her she was like no it doesn't have it. We returned all the food as it had cheese and sauce, the look she gave me well lets just say if looks could kill. She couldn't even get a chocolate milkshake right. The guy that remade the food was very helpful and apologised.

Visiting here again after a previous great experience. Another great experience, albeit a little wait for my order. It was understandable with the level of trade they had. Although, there was an issue with my order, the manager, Dean, sorted it right away without any grumbles. Unlike, other establishments, it did not seem a bother for him to help me. I can see why his team are as good as they are under his leadership. I’ve worked in this line of work for many years and it’s pleasing to see some people still care. Great work Dean and your team

The area manager should really reward the excellent service given to customers at a very busy Burger King by JAMIE. For a young lad he obviously works hard and tries his best to meet customers individual needs even during busy lunchtimes. He did my drink without ice as requested and shouted the order number loudly bringing a little order to the chaos. I wanted to tip him but he refused in line with company policy. A model employee. Well done JAMIE.

Unbelievable. So upset after a long journey out first stop completely ruined by this experience. Only one girl at the desk she does her best but impossible to cope with the orders. Our coffee £2.89 each feels like water. No ketchup left outside. 1 person so busy no way to ask her for ketchup or raise my concern about the coffee. I feel ripped off. This restaurant is a scam because of the management let their staff struggle. Never ever use Burger king again anywhere else.

Meals arrived quickly, burgers stone cold! After reading the online reviews I decided it probably wasn't worth the effort of mentioning it to the staff working there as customer service isn't there strong point....better than Rivington Services but thats not really a compliment. How they manage to flame grill a stone cold burger is beyond me! One year on... my family decided it was worth a second chance. We used the "order it yourself and pay for it yourself option" rather than going to the counter. I didn't realise we were now part of the team but it felt great giving them a lift and easing their workload for the same extortionate fee... I believed this would have given the staff the extra time needed to concentrate and hone their culinary skills. I was mistaken.... my son described the onion rings as miserable... he is 9! My wife said, "Give them to your Dad". I can confirm he has an excellent pallet! M.I.S.E.R.A.B.L.E!

The young lady that served us was excellent, very polite and helpful. However, the burgers were not good at all, especially the cheese burger. It was overcooked and dry. The young lady serving was very kind and apologetic and replaced it straight away. Unfortunately the replacement wasn't much better. The fries were OK, just not many in the bag. The restaurant wasn't very clean. My allocated stars are not the the restaurant, that would get zero. I would give 5 for the young lady, so on average just two stars overall.

Easily the worst Burger King I've ever visited. I ordered a large whopper meal with a milkshake. The fries were only medium sized and the clear milkshake carton was only 50% full and very runny. The staff member handed it over as if everything was fine. When I asked what was wrong with the milkshake, all I got was a shrug and "It's broken". No offer to fix the issue, offer an alternative or a refund. I'm not bothered about the price, I expect to pay more on the motorway service stations, but it should away least equal the standard you'd expect from the High Street locations. It's a shame really, I expect more from the BK brand. I'll avoid this service station in the future.

This place has had a massive turnover of CSAs as well as managers. When I was off sick, I was constantly questioned about my status to work and even had disagreements with management about whether or not it was suitable for me to come back into work whilest still having a food borne illness. They even had the cheek to invite me to a stage 1 meeting to talk about this, from there I handed in my notice. Meanwhile, certain co-workers got away with leaving work early for "wanting to meet their friends to go drinking", whilest some are toxic to one another when you can't work overtime despite doing so for atleast 3 days, the jobs aren't equally shared among the staff crew meaning less than adequate training, during peak hours it has become normal for you to work through one and sometimes all your breaks, you don't feel valued from working there, the shifts aren't shared out evenly (meaning some are on constant mornings, whilst others do late shifts all the time), not being permitted to close early when there is a lack of staff on shift, there has been no rush to install adequate air conditioning despite working in a kitchen with temperatures up to 35°C (with your shirt being tucked in is to be expected!). All of these downsides as well as the inconvince of having to travel there, makes the current wage offered absolutely laughable. It's working practices are certainly questionable and should be investigated accordingly. The only benefits I can think of are the staff discount cards and free drinks on shift (I should mention the last benefit was only introduced to encourage employees to stay!).

The staff didn't even smile or say hello or thankyou, and the state of the store was disgusting with food all over the floor that the staff just stepped over several times.

Was meeting my step mum at the services, she had stood with others for over 10 minutes waiting to be served, watched them take the orders of the others, then to be told they were closed and would not take her order!!? I was fuming that they would treat an old age pensioner in that way, they could have respectfully told her 10 minutes before they would not be taking her order!!? How does one more burger meal make a difference to at least half a dozen others that were waiting and being cooked for 😡 She would not let me do anything at the time as I was very angry at the disrespect. I hope this will stop her wanting to give her money for this unhealthy food and no respect - customer service🤞 At least Costa was happy to serve with great friendly customer service once again ( as I usually have Costa while she has burger king) even when you are waiting for service, they are more aware and apologize if keeping you, makes a difference.

Popped into the Morrisons cafe, for a spot of lunch before travelling home. I selected the ultimate fish and chips, the picture showed a piece of fish that hung over the sides at both ends of the plate, with stacks of chips. My wife asked if I would like bread and butter as well, I replied no looking at the size of that fish it would just be pure greed, My wife ordered the smaller portion for herself. When it arrived my portion of fish sat comfortably on the plate not even touching the sides of it. The chips were a child's portion at best. My wife's was served up on what can only described as a side plate, and it didn't even fill that. Probably the last time I will consider thinking about popping in there, a shame as we are regularly in Penrith, I would say 4-5 days a month.
