Worst KFC we have ever been too. Never get the order correct, food is always cold and the staff are the rudest people we have ever met. They laugh in your face/over the phone. Never met staff members quite like it. They ever argue with each other in-front of you! Wr would never ever return. Also extremely dirty restaurant. Immature, untrained staff members who have never learnt good customer service. Would be very happy if they got shut down! Go to Selsdon, everything is far better there. Wish we could give 0 stars. Good luck if you go to this place!!! Good luck trying not to get Corona virus....

Just been to KFC in Purley and I never write reviews, but had to today. Arrived at shop at 14.00 and it was very busy and hectic. About 15 people in paying and queeing area. When I came to the till I was surprisingly greeted with a hello and a smile.The girl was multitasking between helping me and dealing with a lady who had ordered a portion of chips too many. It was dealt with so proffesionally and she was attentive to both me and the lady who had a problem. I ordered and she was very patient with me despite the business of the shop. Everybody behind the desk was working hard to serve people as quickly as possible and in a calm professional manner. The problem with the lady with the too many chips seemed to take some time to sort out, but at no point did the staff loose patient, but dealt with her until she was satisfied and at no point did staff look like they were not interested. She was literally dealt with until she was fully satisfied. In a caring and very very professional manner. I work in the service industry and had for many years in mainly top brand areas and I was amazed by the professionalism and service starndard I witnessed in the shop. Serviced minded staff, who doesnt faulter when it gets busy are hard to come by, but, cricky, you seemed to have gathered a handfull of them in the Purley KFC. I hope management realise the value of these hardworking and very professional colleagues they have here. I hope they show them their appreciation.

Went into this branch to order a bargain bucket! To my shock, they said they had run out chicken and I would have to wait 15 minutes! What sort of place runs out of chicken!

This KFC seems to have collected all the most useless, clueless, lazy, idiotic staff from the area! What has the world come to when staff can’t follow simple on screen orders? This store seems to suffer the most. Quality control doesn’t exist! Burnt beans. Chewy and really greasy chicken. New recipe fries from the day before. Not so green lettuce, more mouldy... Flat soft fizzy drinks. Gravy topped with a good 7mm of grease. The list goes on! Do your self a favour and either go Nandos, subway or another franchise that wants to sell some half decent take out.

Everything was full of oil (literally covered with oil) which is not good for me because I started throwing up afterwards. Not only that, only there was only one person serving, and to make things worse that person was running around like a headless chicken.

Discusting, bought me and my partner some food after a long day at work, 2x mega box, and the only piece of chicken that was cooked through was the mini fillet. The wings and side pieces were dark pink. Awful!!

This restaurant let’s KFC down. Slow service, cold and stodgy food and worst of all, on the past three occasions I have visited this place, they have not had corn on the cob! Not worth it, only reason I go there is because I live close. Save yourself a trip and go to McDonald’s.

Fries are dripping in what I can only hope is oil. The chicken is always less crispy than any other chain, it sometimes reminds me of the biscuit things in trifle that get all soggy. The staff remind of a certain come fly with me sketch. And the seats are sticky which I guess is tactical marketing to stop you leaving. If Colonel Sanders was alive today he would be eating in subway.

Not a bad place to eat, a little noisy and have to wait in a long queue to be served most time it's coming out the door as only have one till! But it's cooked quite quick but half the time they forget items! They need more staff more tills and need more seating areas!

Sentado aquí tratando de estómago nuestro almuerzo en el área de descanso que es asquerosa. Una gran cantidad de comida es en el piso, las mesas no se borran y las mesas son pegajosas y sucio. Alguien realmente tiene que empezar a administrar este sitio! El servicio al cliente deja muchvto desear también! Le dio "pobre" en lugar de "terrible" sólo porque la comida era lo que esperábamos para KFC.

Now I hold my hands up I'm not the biggest fan of KFC but after my trip to the league 1 playoff final I needed a meal to celebrate, we stopped here and I ordered a boneless bucket, all was cooked nicely and the dip selection pack was a nice touch too, next time I'm in the area I will stop off here. Staff were not overly friendly but I didn't mind.

Por lo general me gusta KFC, que normalmente te dan un buen nivel. Eso cambió con este KFC el restaurante estaba sucio y todos los asientos fue cerrada (20:45). La máquina de refrescos Coca Cola o sólo era limonada y reparte las bebidas no dieta. Tomé la comida lejos para comer debido a que no hay descanso, el pollo estaba bien, pero las patatas fritas eran frías. Muy decepcionado. .

Exactly what you would expect. Succulent hot chicken and cold fizzy drinks. Haute Cuisine it's not. But a decent filling meal for a five or six quid is hard to beat.

KFC Purley has reopened, after an extensive remodelling. It's still the same size and seems to have the same menu. That menu is displayed on flashy, new display boards. One puzzling thing is there now seems to be fewer tills, where you can order. Fortunately, it wasn't busy, when I stopped in for a late snack.

Not good. Its been closed for 4 weeks. There was a sign saying closed for refurbishment, but now theres no sign of it. Also the sign did not appear until they closed to do the place up. Normally when a place closes to be done up they put a sign in the window saying when its going to happen, but there was no sign in the window.

Visited on a Sunday evening and waited 30mins. Didn't have what we asked for. Only 2 tills were open one being cash only. Didn't get what we paid for after realising once we left, went back and they just said they don't have it, and didn't offer alternative. Rude staff, half the time in the back messing around. Chicken questionably cooked and burnt.

This is my 2nd review of this kfc. I hope somebody reads this and sorts out this branch. Waited 40 mins to get served/get my food last night. Not exactly "fast food". Saw so many people walk away upon seeing the queue. The staff are nice but nobody seems to know what's going on. Such a shame because the food is nice.

I returned to the KFC, Purley, to get a light meal. They seem to have some new staff, since I visited, last summer. The staff have a pleasant attitude, but make minor mistakes. Check that they got everything right. I ordered a Pepsi Max, but they poured me a regular Pepsi. Fortunately, I questioned it and the mistake was corrected. Everyone can make mistakes and they gave me extra hand wipes, to make up for it. I ordered a Take Five Box, which I saw advertised on a poster, at a bus stop. A pretty good deal, for £3.

I don't get where this kfc goes so wrong. I understand that they are quite small but they're just so slow!!I've lived in Purley for 6 months and usually allow myself a kfc every couple of weeks. I've never been in and out in under 20 minutes (even though I just order plain old chicken and chips). There's only a few members of staff that seem to know what they're doing - the rest just run around like headless chickens (if you'll pardon the pun). They're always pleasant but just seem to work very ineffectively....The food is always of a level that you'd expect from kfc, altho it's often cold as it's been sat there so long (due to the slow service). More annoying is the number of times they get the order wrong. I specifically request no drumsticks and inevitably I get home to find that this has been ignored. Last week my gravy was missing - this week they gave me 2 instead of 1. There seems to be Soooo many staff dealing with every order so it's inevitable that mistakes are made. It's a shame I don't have another kfc branch within walking distance as I would definitely go elsewhere if there was a choice.If u don't mind queuing for half an hour, microwaving your food when you get home, and taking a gamble on exactly what food you're going to end up with, you'll love this place ;-)

This is my local KFC for 10 years and I have found the food to be always good. The servers are great and always happy and polite. The service is fast but only problem is this is a small place and not much room from the counter to the front door which has the most difficult door to open. You will get an instant arm workout opening the door and when inside you will find yourself immediately squashed in a queue trying to avoid the door being forced upon you. There is a seating area but I have never used this. Parking is difficult as there are limited spaces but free 30 minute stay by obtaining a ticket.

This is a small KFC, with a dining area, but no drive through. Staff are pleasant. Standard KFC menu. Sometimes seems a bit slow, during busy periods. Free parking on the street, for first half hour.

If you can actually push open the door which is stuck to the floor, then you are greeted with a queue with customers waiting at the side for their orders to be processed. I made the mistake once of going to the toilet gents and it was filthy, no soap dispenser, dirt, soiled towels on the floor. Disgraceful. I find most of these places like this, depressing, badly maintained. They should replace the Old Colonel Sanders logo with a big greasy rat.

This is the usual Chicken restaurant and take away. The sit down area is acceptable but not used much as most food seems to be bought to take away. The staff are helpful and polite and the food is what it is. Fast take away meals.

So I came in and ordered Chicken balls , Char you Pork in BBQ sauce and special chow mein which all came to 26£ , as I left I realised the prawn crackers had not been put in so I went back in and the workers were extremely confused , after 5 minutes of explaining I recieved my prawn crackers and left to go home (15 minute walk) I wish I had checked all of my things at the shop but to my arrival at home I had been given the wrong meal altogether (I didn’t want to check in store as it takes ages to get out of containers) , I then phoned up and explained and asked if they could drop me round my right meal and I would happily pay an extra fiver but the lady said they had no delivery drivers there (which was a lie as I had seen 2 seated in there next to just eat bags) and that I had to come back to get my meal changed. I’m 19 years old and payed 25£ which to me is a lot of money for a meal I didn’t eat nor enjoy , I couldn’t go back up there as it was getting late and my family were also eating so parts would’ve been cold by the time I was back . Really annoyed to be honest and defo won’t be coming back. The communication was appalling no one could understand anything I was saying. I’m very respectful that not everyone speaks English but when you run an establishment that requires you to communicate with others , someone should know the native language otherwise orders are going to continue to be mucked up. Get an interpretator , and actually listen to orders instead of rushing everything and getting it wrong. P.s the prawn crackers were yellow and the chicken balls tasted old and as if they had been microwaved. Ridiculous!!!!
