Today we ordered a variety box KFC, the worst KFC Ever, please do not waste your money ordering or buying KFC from the Tavistock Branch Bedford,the person who ever bought or taken the franchise should be investigated by KFC and bedfor Brough Council for health and safety, clendness, KFC headquarters should check that food is severed according to KFC standards, so many if us are not happy with the service ,quality of food etc, this is giving KFC a bad reputation everywhere ,I am now hesitant to ever purchase KFC ever again. Unfortunately you do not have a zero rating as I would have chosen it.

Visited Tavistock street KFC this evening as friends fancied KFC take away meal. As a last resort as had not so good reports on quality of food at this KFC. Did try interchange but unforeseen closed. Bargain bucket 10 piece and additional 8 hot wings and Fries. Hmm.. Chicken so greasy and dark as if the oil needed changing. Chips full of grease .. we didn’t bother to finish the meal. Not the KFC finger licking experience I’ve loved in the past.. Considering the costs for our meal, definitely not a good experience 😉

Really really bad franchise, rude staff, poor quality service, poor quality food. Went into this store on a Friday lunchtime (1pm ish) to be told no Chicken for 20 minutes, said I’d pop back as had a few things to do. When I got my food for dine in the Chicken was cold, the fries were undercooked and the drink was flat. Not the first time I’ve had issues with this store but will be the last, will never use again!

The staff and environment did not look clean or pleasant as it should be in any fast food or restaurant; I’ve ordered both in person and over delivery and you could tell there’s zero effort being put in making the foods. I remembered seeing how they make a burger and telling myself I will never order from here again. No burger should come just with bread, chicken and mayo and when I asked about lettuce and tomato they said they don’t have any. Just close this franchise and get it checked to be up to standard cause next time I’m going there I will not pay until I see how they make my food and if it’s still trash I won’t pay for it so we can both waste each other time since that’s what has been going on with this kfc in Tavistock road Bedford.

Charged for large fries/drink without asking, side order wrong, drink warm and flat and burger missing correct sauce and a couple of sliters of lettuce. Chips were cold and soggy. There are bad KFC's and good ones. This one is the worse I have ever been to by a long way. How is this place still open?? Avoid at all costs

It came in a KFC box, the shop had a KFC logo and it is an official KFC shop. How on earth did you cook the food.. It was horrible,. Thankfully we are having a family gathering and went around various outlets to see what they tasted like .It would have been for a takeaway for around 100 guests. Thank god we tested the food. Horrible

Don't waste your time and money on this KFC they over do the chicken it's hard, dry, to much mayonnaise and soggy chips. I'm surprised the KFC in Tavistock Street, Bedford is still open because none of the staff are happy and it doesn't seem to be run right A big bypass

Sorry to say - not the best. I know they have stock issues and I ended up changing order to suit availability. But they Started to make up my order when delivery drivers came in and my order packing stopped whilst they packed up the delivery orders- I don’t mind waiting but my food was sat on the side for over 15mins. I asked them to re make the wraps but the rest of the meal was cold and half missing - no bottle of drink was given and after a 25min wait when only 1 person in front I just wanted to get out and didn’t check! As disappointing as everyone states and yet it was still busy. Oh and very little Covid control. Delivery drivers with no masks and 8 people inside the small shop - with very few masks behind the counter either!

Today I went in to order a Zinger Set Meal. I changed my side order to gravy because kfc has the best gravy. Disappointed to say the gravy here was tasteless & diluted. Never had this experiences in any kfc before. The girl who took my order collected my cash prepared my food without sanitising her hands. She even helps to prepare my Zinger Bun without gloves. Really disappointed.

It was one of the hottest days of the year and NO air con and door was closed. Everyone sweating, queue was enormous, staff not coping with amount of orders, and never any coffee or ice cream!
