I use to live in Frome and we all need how terri ke the service was in KFC, on visiting my parents they said they wanted a KFC and they said it had got better! Well it absolutely hasn't . You CANNOT call this fast food! We went through the drive through and ordered a party bucket, we were told to drive and sit at the front. 20 mins later we have watched people go in and out and still no food! we ended up going in, it's absolutely ridiculous. Get your act together it's been 6 years of being rubbish!!! no wonder Mc Ds has a queue and you dont!

AWFUL SERVICE. i arrived at kfc with a few friends, we ordered our food and sat down to eat it. we was not made aware they were ‘closing down the dine in area’ until we were mid way through our food then Abigail told us we had to take our food and leave, this was at 8:30, so i questioned this due to the restaurant being due to close at 10pm. she then said ‘yeah we’re just closing down the dine in area’ we said we will finish our food then leave. the app states that you can dine in till 9pm. Abigail then said to coworkers that she was going to start shouting, swearing and punching things after we said we will be finishing our food here. I then put my food in the bin, i then made abigail and jay jay aware nicely that there app stated dine in till 9. i then left and friend stayed in to finish there drink. i have now been informed that jay jay said i was ‘autistic and troubled’. DO NOT GO TO THIS KFC IF YOU WANT TO BE HARRASED AND CALLED NAMES BY EMPLOYEES

Part of the order raw, ordered a zinger box meal as wanted to try something different. It was very dry (bun, lettuce) and the chicken was pink and stone cold. Not safe at all. With the side of corn on the cob it was hard and cold so not cooked correctly. Staff were quite rude but the order did come quite quickly which was the first red flag. Other than that we did have some boneless chicken that was good and tasty but that was the only nice part. Thought it would be nice to have a kfc for a change as the last we had was nice (Glastonbury) but here it was disgusting. Other nearby KFC is worst than the one in frome. Very disappointing and it was very expensive. Might just stick with macdonalds

Zinger stacker meal @ £9.99, burger was tiny and overpriced. 3 Chicken pieces were tasteless, dry and over cooked. Asked for bbq sauce, which wasn't available, was only given 2 sachets, after spending over £25. Not used this branch in a while, as got home and only had part of the order, the previous time. Definitely prefer Glastonbury KFC.

Having not been here for a couple of years we thought we’d try Frome out , it’s a little bit closer to us than the Trowbridge branch . The food was lovely ,hot and well cooked , but was disappointed to find the service slow , despite not being busy , the tables dirty and essential things such as forks/ spoons unavailable ( seem pretty essential if beans are one of your side orders !) and to be frank the staff appeared to be generally disinterested . We had hoped things may have changed in the time that we haven’t been here , clearly not

Without doubt the worst fast food meal I've ever experienced. I stuck with what they do best - chicken (3 pieces) and chips. The chicken was dripping in grease and not crispy at all, ridiculously over salted and had clearly been broiling under the heat lamps for hours. The chips were overcooked to the point that they were dark brown in colour, yet they were soggy and limp. I ate one piece of chicken and was trying to eat a second when piece one came up again. For the love of god, do not go here. It hurts to have to give 1 star, but I'll justify it to myself by saying that was for the bottle of water thar made it a meal deal. Rank.

Having not had a KFC for over a year, we just fancied one & drove to Frome. Well, the team member who served us was very nice but they didn't have any soft drinks as the machine wasn't working. We could hear staff messing around in the back, very unprofessional. We were then given our food & it wasn't very warm, my chips were cold & soggy. I should've taken my whole meal back but a look from hubby said it all. There was only a few salt sachets out, no sugar, no stirrers, 2 wet wipes, a few paper tissues, it was awful. The tables weren't very clean, neither was the floor. Then Slow Norris came round with the brush & attempted to clean the floor of old chips & bits of food. Very painful to watch, I felt like showing him how it was done. He didn't attempt to wipe the salt & bits from the tables. So whilst Mr "Im not interested in my job" tried to sweep badly, a few people came in for takeaways or went to the drive thru & all you could hear was staff messing about behind the scenes. All in all, this was very poor, from the young staff to the grubby tables to the lukewarm food. This restaurant needs someone to go in & sort the staff out as they look scruffy & are unprofessional. We won't be returning anytime soon.

On arrival, all but 1 staff members were outside the front sat around the table. When they saw us heading towards the door, they all ushered inside towards the kitchen. (NO handwashing happened) When inside, we noticed 1 member of staff (Abigail) working her ass off, carrying the rest of the staffs workload. We headed to the toilets, which had just been cleaned and Abigail kindly pre-warned us of the wet floor. Abigail talked us through meals, until we made our minds up and was pleasant throughout. However, when we were eating, we could clearly hear the other 3 members of staff 'messing around', shouting and being unprofessional. Abigail, spoke to them and reminded them that they were indeed at work and for them to 'pack it in.' Abigail remained professional and continued to clear, clean and sweep the restaurant, whilst the other staff members continued to be at high volume. Reading the rest of KFC - Frome reviews, I highly recommend something is put into place, to gain custom.

Drove several miles to order and collect a KFC for two - first meal - no water (out of stock), second meal - no beans other than large so no side dish (out of stock). I've noticed this take it or leave it at several KFC's recently, so whilst I ordered the first meal, I went to McDonalds for the second and the McSpicy was great. I am going to give KFC a miss for a few months and will try once more

Awful service, awful staff. I have never seen anyone that works in fast food to go so slow. It took 15 minutes to get our order. When it came I asked if I could check it as the last 3 times going there something was missing. I'm glad I did as I paid to go large and when looking I had only got a normal portion of chips, you can't call them Fries. They aren't even peeled before being fried, just chopped. I can honestly say I was very disappointed and I seriously think sloths move much quicker than the staff.

This KFC was definitely far below are expectations when you walk in the floor is dirty and covered in grease.looks like It only gets cleaned once a week.the toilets where out of order.and they were even “out of water” so we had to buy expensive pop instead. There was no cutlery . The chicken was so greasy, there was practically more grease than food, and it was undercooked. the “spicy wings” were not even mildly spicy 🥵. It was definitely not worth the expensive price and I would not recommend to anyone no wonder no one goes there there was more staff than customers! I have just experienced some difficult digestion issues as well. Please do not go here

The restaurant was appalling and dirty with tables and chairs roped off with tape, the toilets were closed, waited 20 minutes for food then to be told we had to wait another 10 minutes so asked for a refund. The place is run by kids and there seems to be no organisation. Overall very dirty and should not be open.

Store is dirty. As you walk in you're faced with two self service terminals, neither of which work. They don't sell full fat coke anymore which is a pain as I don't enjoy diet or sugar free variants. Food was ok, nothing special. Worst of all though, the toilet was out of action and cordoned off making it look like a crime scene (see attached photo). Avoid unless really desperate.

The boxed meal consisted of piece of corn. a few chips, a piece of Brest and a bun with a breast in it. The chip looked and tasted like they had been recycled. The chicken could have been from anywhere - it did not have the usual KFC taste. Last time I was here I ate in the restaurant which was okay.

Ordered a rice box on the app. My number appeared and disappeared on the screen. I waited a couple of minutes before approaching the till area only to be told that they’d run out of rice. I’m more disappointed that I had to ask about my order rather than them address it immediately than not being able to get the rice box. I would hope that they introduce the ability for anything not available to be hidden on the app so it can’t be ordered and this doesn’t happen again. We order on the app for smooth transactions with minimal fuss so not being able to get a refund back on the app is the most user unfriendly idea there is with the need to call a number. We just want to eat chicken not deal with telephone calls. The service is usually lukewarm at best and after working nearby for the last nine months, I can say that it is consistently the worst KFC I’ve ever been to and I have been to a lot over the years. I hope they can sort it out because it does make me not want to visit this particular KFC again.

We have been here several times over the years when we’re on holiday and every time the order is wrong. We went today ordered 2 boneless banquets with beans and coleslaw the beans ended up being gravy. We also ordered 2 children’s chicken strip meals. Ended up with chicken burgers. (Our children don’t like bread so they went Hungary). The chicken in our banquet meal was very very dry in fact is was that dry it was hard to swallow. We must remind ourselves never to go there again as this has been happening for years and the place never improves. The management should be ashamed of themselves and KFC as a franchisee should give there managers more training.

We went to the KFC in Frome and was welcomed with complete disgrace. All the tables in the restaurant were covered in used boxes and food. The floor was covered in food which looked like it had been there for a long time, not just for an hour or two. There was little in the way of condiments and there was no salt. I did ask the assistant if they had any and she told me no! Our food was ordered and I went to use the toilet. The toilets did not have any toilet roll but had serviettes instead, I located somewhere to sit and then found myself going back into the toilet with serviettes so that I could get them wet so I could clean the table,

I've been to KFC in Frome a few times and it is in my opinion terrible. The food is usually warm, if you are lucky. They never seem to have everything in stock. Today no beans. The staff always seem to have this sort off we don't care attitude. If there are more than a couple of customers waiting it can take ages to fulfil a simple order, after all the main ingredients are chicken and chips with a few other bits and pieces, so it can’t be rocket science to get it right. Goodness knows how they would cope if a bus load arrived. I would not recommend this place at all. It’s about time the KFC people checked some of their eating places as many of them seem to get pretty poor reviews. There seems to be plenty of reviews out there to support my opinion.

Went there with my daughter last week. The place is disgusting, the food was cold and tasteless. They had no salt...... everyone asked for it and they had none left. The place is 100m from Sainsbury’s, you’d of thought that the manager would have thought outside the box and sent someone across to busy some !! The floor was exceptionally greasy, rather than clean it up they put a “wet floor” sign up. I saw a number of people nearly fall. The staff need a wake up call. Never again

Store was pretty much empty when arrived and only 3 orders on the board, ours being one of those. Was told by a member of staff “sorry your chicken fillets will take 5 minutes maximum” so we waited after 20 minutes we asked if we had been forgotten was told no and that we were next, 2 people had been served who had come in after us and god knows how many through the Drive thru. In total waited 30 minutes for food, tried to take picture to prove how long we had been waiting but the guy behind the counter spotted us and cleared it. Sat down to finally eat our meal to find he had missed two of our sides. People were walking out, Absolutely shocking service, would never return or recommend. McDonald’s next door much quicker.

We love KFC but this brand is ridiculous. Staff are friendly but we waited 45 mins to get served it took over an hour just to get our meal . Wont be returning.

Abysmal service, I had the promotion meal which was like warm, wife had 2 pieces and chips which was piping hot. This place is a joke, at least we only had 6 in front of us so we waited 20 mins or more. When we left there was a long queue how long they waited I dread to think. It appears from previous entries this is normal but no one seems to take any notice!

In the last 6 weeks went there twice and there were 7 of us. But the wait was terrible in the end walked out and went to McDonald’s. Not good waiting for 15 mins not moving and the people in front been waiting 30 mins plus. Even ran out of chicken and only 3 people working with the restaurant and drive through on the go. Will never go back. If they can’t handle a Thursday afternoon/night how will they coup with a weekend. Very very poor I like kfc but this has put me off. ❌❌❌

We love KFC but this is simply ridiculous! Every time we go we wait around 30 minutes for our food. How can this place call themselves a fast food service. They are never busy but never manage to serve fast . The latest attempt at going ended in a 45 minute wait because they didn't have enough chicken pieces cooked.

First of all, the staff (in particular the chap that served me) was very friendly and welcoming.

After a long day out sight seeing we were in need of some quick grub before a stay at Premier Inn. Kids choice. After queuing for a while we were greeted by a really friendly young girl. She helped with menu choices and then sat us down. After another wait the food arrived and was hot and fresh. The music was a little loud but it was later in the evening.

When we walked in the restaurant it was completely empty but we couldn't find a clean table to sit at. The floors were covered in rubbish and food yet nobody was cleaning up. I only saw 2 members of staff but as we were the only people in the restaurant there was absolutely no excuse for it to be in the mess it was. Very disappointed in the food as well as it wasn't very warm, don't think I will be rushing back which is a shame as we love KFC usually but they need to get a decent manager in to sort out the lazy staff

How can it possibly take 25 minutes to serve 5 orders? It's pathetic. If I was KFC head office I would want to know why this franchise is so badly managed, and why they are letting down the KFC brand as a whole so badly. Still at least I got the food I ordered, the guys in front of me who'd waited just as long went away empty handed because the ice cream machine was broken. Stupidly, ridiculously rubbish.

Waste of time, 20 mins waiting in the waiting bay for four small meals, had to remind them I was there. Staff weren't bothered at all when I told them, they did give me a few hot wings for waiting. Never again

Rude, food cold straightaway, staff were slow and stood around talking when there was customers waiting to be served!

Food ok but if you go threw the drive view beware as they will forget to put the correct items in the bag. Never any salt or cutlery to eat your beans. Then when you say is there cutlery in there they say yes but there was only 1 fork for 3 meals also forgot to put my sons drink in the bag just check before you drive away We have been there 6 times and every time it's been wrong

Waited 35 mins for our meal - they forgot us!! On the plus side once this was highlighted the server was very apologetic & gave us free extras to apologise. Other than the wait it was fine

After a long day at Longleat we were exhausted so we didn't fancy a full 3 course meal. The gentleman who took our order was friendly and very helpful. Simon thank you for being so helpful.

In contrast to many KFC, the chicken here isn't dripping with grease, it's quite dry and a bit tasty, you get what you order, even if you have to repeat yourself a few times ( drive thru ) but they seem to be pleasant enough in there

We were thrilled to see that our local KFC has has a makeover - looks fantastic! The service is fast and food is good - so a nice option for lunch when we are on the go in Frome.

I love KFC ,the Frome kfc however is not good ,the sweet corn was very soft and tasted bland couldn't eat it ,the chicken was dripping in oil soft skin the seasoning fell of the skin it was very disappointing as we live 5/6 miles away from Frome it was not worth traveling back to ask for fresh cooked crispy chicken ,

Visited Frome Kfc today as 2 families. The Customer Service was a joke, slow, dirty, uninterested, rude and none responsive. The general cleanliness was very poor and the Men's toilet water out of service. The food was just ok, the fries were burnt. The lack of management was the issue, the staff seemed to be doing what they pleased.

Never had any bad food from here. Once sat down to eat and chips seemed a bit cold and soggy but they were changed without a problem.

I love my KFC, but i only eat certain pieces of chicken. Hubby loves all the chicken so we ordered a family feast and asked for 2 pieces off the crown of chicken. Only to be told i will try. When we got home i didn't have any out of a 10 piece bucket. The gravy sides had 2 different dates on it i assume this is the use by date, today is the 30th October & yes tonight is the 30th So why have dates 13th & 23rd on them. Also gravy is so watered down and has no taste, if you go anywhere else it is thick and full of flavor. You try to call the branch to air your concerns but they dont bother answering.

I went here the otherday for a quick bite ordered a variety meal, one of my pieces of chicken was undercooked, so i walk upto the counter and explain this to a server named LIAM, his attitude stunk saying it was the seasoning, now the seasoning is orange, I explained there was blood coming out, the meat was pink, under cooked, i think i should know as i was a head chef for years. Beside the point he was abrupt rude and I wasnt happy he was trying to pass it off as seasoning,

We had heard good things about this restaurant but were disappointed. We booked ahead by phone but when we arrived they didn’t have our booking. After a while they found our booking written on a piece of paper but they said they hadn’t factored it in as they didn’t know how many people the booking was for. Yet my phone number was on the paper so they could have called me. They squeezed us in but the room we sat in was very dark, and as the table was big and the pub noisy it was difficult for us to hear each other talk. The food was good however. When we left we were offered a receipt but then told the machine hadn’t printed one! Not sure we will go back again.

We visited Clark’s Shopping Village today and went into Frankie & Benny’s for lunch. We had 5 adults and a 1yr old. We ordered 4 main courses and three starters to have as a main course. We were asked if we would like the starters as a main and we said yes. The starters arrived but none of the other food did. We were told they were just waiting for the chicken and the other meals would be out. We looked at the pass and could see a main meal there that was the same as one of the ones we had ordered, but we assumed that was for another table. 15mins or so passed and the main meal was still there. They then put the rest of our meals up and bought all of the meals to the table. We queried the meal that had been sat on the pass for ages. They apologised and said they would take it back. Under 2mins later they arrived with what they told us was a new meal. We queried it again and we’re assured they had done us a fresh one. The meal was for my 74 year old mum, she assured us the meal was fine, but she does not like to make a fuss so we were not sure. Mum only ate half the meal, as she was worried it was still the same meal and we have a 2 hour drive home. My hubby tried her meal and he is convinced they just gave her back the same meal, as it came out far too quickly. They reduced our bill but the looks we were getting from the staff were not good. Why did they not just bring us the meal when it was ready as we already had one meal

Wonderful stay at The Holcombe this weekend. A very warm welcome, excellent accommodation in a beautiful location, along with food that on its own is worth a visit to try. Lots of care was taken to make it a very special stay for us. We’ll be back again soon!
