It is always a bit salty than other KFC branches but delicious at the end . Service was good fast and with a smile. Price is getting higher every time but I guess this is the case everywhere nowadays. Enjoyed it .

Even though we ordered and paid for 2 portions chips in our over £30 order, we didn't get them. Service from the young employees was very good but they were over streched so obviously mistakes were made, pushy delivery person with no mannets "can you move" no please or thank you. This is management issues and needs addressing. Food was inadiquate compared to thinford. Will not be visiting again

I went to the restaurant to pick up an order as a delivery driver. The girl at the counter was extremely rude and didn't listen when I asked for the order number. I ended up waiting around 40 minutes to collect the order. When she finally gave it to me, I realized it had been sitting there, already packed, for the entire 40 minutes.

I ordered 6 of chickens in a box and 4 chips and requested different part of the chickens. I didn't get what asked for and I should have been informed that the part of chicken that I wanted were not available. My order was wrong I tried to call but no response. However, I finally spoke to a staff member today and she said the phone never rang last night, in order I was lying (though she didn't say so). The chip were awful and I will never again buy from there.KFC you didn't do right by me.

My dad is a disabled war hero and he will not be eating tonight because kfc never sent his food, we can’t afford to reorder and they refused point blank to send the food out even tho it’s been paid for. They say he will receive his refund in 3 to 10 days. Terrible service.

Yet again I had the misfortune to make a purchase from the KFC Branch at Yarm Road Retail Park, Darlington Last evening. I waited 20 minutes, picked up my food, travelled 4 miles home to discover the order was wrong and the fully loaded meals containing the fillets both regular and Zinger were black and tough. All was duly returned to the relevant store where a full refund was sought and given . You really need to get your act together – I am thoroughly disgusted with KFC at the moment and will totally boycott your company. —————/-////////__________\\\\\_\\\_____ Yet again had the misfortune to get the wrong order .

The employees are all in no mood. when you enter/ when you order, the staff looks at you badly, no one smiles. Luckily, in the meantime, the couriers come in full of life and they smile and say more just a joke... all the employees are young, but you can tell by their mood that they are slave. After I ordered, they told me that unfortunately I have to wait around 10 minutes because they have a lot of orders,I understood and went out to the parking lot to wait and when I looked out the window the kitchen employee was playing on the phone. Unfortunately, you have lost another loyal customer!

Only ever done take away here so the atmosphere was picked up from waiting - whilst McDonald's has a sectioned off area for drivers, KFC does not and the drivers seem rude sometimes. Aside from that, it's very dark. Occasionally the touchscreen doesn't print receipts or doesn't work. Like with most other fast food restaurants, I prefer to order on the app rather than in store as this shortens my wait time, but the KFC app is better and better at detecting when you are at the store.

Been having KFC chicken hot wings for years and I was very disappointed Wednesday at 4pm ,when I bought 11 hot wings which felt like chewy and really dark brown in colour . Clearly that shows rhey haven't changed the cooking oil for days Or the oil fryer haven't been cleaned for days . The only KFC in Darlington that had a decent service has also gone down hill . I always wonder why can't KFC look at McDonald's business model and learn something?

They have a good vegan and vegertarian choice ,The staff were all lovely,The food was good. But we waited an hour and twenty minutes for our food Not acceptable especially when you have kids. Also we had to pay adult prices for kids veggie burgers as they didn’t offer them in kid’s menu. I thought £14.95 a but steep ,also drinks were expensive and made me feel they took so long so you’d have more drinks.there was no blind on the window and it was really hot We booked our table so they knew we were arriving and it was a Tuesday night so you wouldn’t expect to wait that long.

If I could put zero stars I would. Went for drinks and a meal with my girlfriend who went to the bar to order for us. Both meals came with free drinks but the barmaid made a mistake and didn't get one of the free drinks with the food that my gf had already paid for. After my gf had made the staff member who called herself the manager aware that one of the free drinks hadn't been added she told her that she had already agreed to the transaction and if we wanted a drink with it we would have to pay for it. Obviously this made my gf embarrassed and she came to get me to sort it out but I got exactly the same treatment and she repeated the same thing to me that we had already agreed to it and if we wanted the drink now we would have to pay. Things got heated as the girl was like the character out of little Britain basically saying computer says no! How she has the audacity to call herself the manager I will never know, she is an embarrassment to the chain and should not be working there. I for one will never go to William stead again after going there for years.

We visited the spotted Dog for a Xmas dinner with friends. We had been before and enjoyed but it was even better on this occasion than we had remembered. The greeting when we arrived was warm and friendly which reflected the overall atmosphere in the pub. We had pre dinner drinks 🥤 in the bar area before being taken to our table for dinner. The waitress gave us the specials for the evening and took our order for drinks and then our food order. Our starters were fabulous! My husband had plate envy so we both shared our starters as they were sooo good. Lots of lovely flavours! The main course followed and it didn’t disappoint. My husband had a lamb dish which he loved, our friends had the pork T bone chop and I had fish which was superb. All came well presented and were Absolutely beautiful! The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout the evening with excellent product knowledge of their choice of wines, other beverages as well as the food menu and daily specials . Nothing we requested was too much trouble! We had a fabulous evening and will very much look forward to visiting again this wonderful village pubs and restaurant.
