I've never written a bad review in my life but need to warn people. If i could give a minus star i would. I actually think the staff are stealing by putting higher prices through the till. I asked the girl serving if they were still serving the lunch time deals. She said no. It was 2 pm i then saw the deal was on till 3pm. A guy took over to serve me. I asked how many strips come in a meal he said how many do you want ? I said i want to know what the set meals are! He then charged me nearly £14 for 4 strips a side and chips no drink. I asked if that was right and he said yes. I can now see there is a 4 strip meal for under £10.

I came for my tea today with my family. We ordered our food at the self-service computer and then waited to the side for our food. We wait 15mins and still no one had called our number out and was still waiting in prep. There was lots of just eat people coming and going and I said to my husband this can't be right. So I approached the man behind the counter to ask him where our food was as we had been waiting 15mins for him to say ull have to wait for your number to be shouted, I then said I am not waiting any longer and asked for a refund. The manager then came over and asked what the problem was I then explained to him and the work colleague then said he never told me to wait he said he had already shouted out my number and we didn't reply so the food went else where. The manager looked on system to see our food order was way back and hadn't been prepared like they said so he did it ignoring the fact I'd asked for my money back. At this time I was to hungry to argue anymore. He apologised and I took the food. I won't be coming back to this KFC in a hurry. It's poor service, poor management, lack of them work and only wants to deliver for just eat orders. This KFC should be on online order service for just eat and not a restaurant!!! Avoid

I have to admit to having a few beers and reaching that inexplicable stage when only a few pieces of overcooked, over oiled and under flavoured pieces of chicken would satiate mine and my fellow imbibers cravings. So I put in an order via Just Eat for a 10pc variety bucket with 4 mini fillets, 8 hot wings a large gravy and some corn cobs (it was for a few of us..) Got a call from a lost deliverer and went to the front of the drive to find a long distance runner slowly hoving into view from approx a quarter mile away. he handed over the goods and we exchanged pleasantries. The order felt and looked okay. Only when I got in did I find that the only items in the bag were 3 fillets, a small portion of chips, some chicken 'popcorn' and 3 cans of coke who's function was purely ballast. Under extreme pressure from a hungry household, I called the Middlebrook outlet to ask them to redeliver. Dan, who was most unhelpful told me they were closed, that I should contact Just Eat and may (may...) get a refund within 14 days. I asked him to contact the delivery person - his response was - a) What did he look like (out of breath and lost) and; b) that he couldn't contact him anyway as they didn't have his number. Apparently they 'outsource' delivery to a third party who are uncontactable and to whom they have no control over whatsoever.... So a crappy experience from KFC and Just Eat - The money was taken out of my account instantly, yet I have to go through some kind of adjudication process to get my money back. If it isn't back in my account by Monday, I think I will issue a county court summons against both parties. Why is service mostly s**t nowadays?

Place was filthy particularly the loos. Tables were not cleared but it wasn’t too busy staff just hanging around. Ordered a 10 piece bucket and it was barely like warm when it arrived. With the cold chicken dirty floor, table and toilets that was enough and we asked for a refund. The manager just didn’t care and gave us money back. She clearly wasn’t interested in the franchise, the reputation, the training or the profit.

My favourite fast food outlet and usually very very good but I'm afraid this didn't live up to expectations. All covid precautions were in place but the chicken pieces were"wet" and not crunchy as I'm used too. I'll still try again but perhaps not this branch.

AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!! Shame that I can’t leave a lower score than this ... I have given up going here after moving to the area a couple of years ago.Dry, shrivelled up chicken that has been held WAY over the standard times ... Soggy fries - Change your friggin oil.Understaffed and little to no attention to the dinning area ... All bins were full (again) .... Tables and chairs dirty and had to wipe down ourselves (again).Customer service (at the point of service) was the only thing I would say they had right but I think that’s more down to the individuals than the store.Horrible place.

I ordered the food then received the food, brought the food to the table and noticed that the drinks had been forgotten. I walked up to the counter and asked for the drinks?, replied with "i'm doing them". The member of staff then stared at me, i then said, "have I jumped the gun"? The member of staff then said, "don't speak to me like that". I responded by saying, "I'm sorry I wasn't meaning to be rude". The member of said "OK". I found this encounter to be an odd one, no please, thank you or sorry, just rude behaviour. I later asked for the manager and explained what had happened, she simply said "OK then", again no apologies or solutions. The food was decent enough to be fair but the attitude of the staff is really bad. I don't expect much just basic manners and people skills which this place is clearly lacking. Looking through the abysmal reviews on here which are drawn out over a long period of time shows that KFC isn't doing anything to fix this problem. I will talk with my feet and not spend any of my money here again.

As the last reviewer put it, don't go there if you think you're going to get your food fast. We were the only people waiting for food and were easily outnumbered by blank faced staff, staring inanely, from behind the counter, showing about as much interest in our service as you might expect from the unfortunate chickens themselves!13 minute wait for chicken fillets, chips and chicken portions, maybe they'd not expected a rush on.Food was pretty awful, the chicken tasted of old burnt oil, which I'm not convinced is how Colonel Sanders imagined it, all those years ago. The chicken was dry, the chips were cold, the dips in their sealed containers were ok.I'm fairly certain that no one goes to KFC for a Michelin star experience, so sometimes you feel hard pressed to complain or it's too difficult or you just can't be arsed, but seriously, try Nandos across the road!!

I had ordered a LARGE popcorn meal and wrap meal. the order was delivered two hours after the order was placed. When we received our meal we were given practically five chips in each packet and the order came as a small popcorn meal rather than a large. The meal was freezing cold when we unpacked it. We have been completely put off our meal. We tried to ring multiple times and no one had picked up or got back to us. We are completely appalled.

McDonald’s next door is much better value!), meals are poorly put together, original chicken pieces were tiny, had to go back for the small popcorn chicken because it had been forgotten (and my god it was small - 2 inches tall for £2), no napkins so people were going to the toilets to wipe their hands and the tables are dirty - covered in drops of gravy and crumbs. I actually saw someone wiping the table with a wet wipe before they sat down! This time, we really won’t be coming back!

Every time I go KFC. drive through, they get my order wrong. How difficult is it. Three variety meals two piece meals and one plain burger box meal. By the time I got home and checked we had two variety meals and the burger had lettuce and mayo all over it. When I made the order she even repeated it after me “so that’s no lettuce or mayo”. To be honest I felt sorry for the girl she was taking orders, boxing up the meals and taking payment. The queue for the drive through was right round the building. But having said that I don’t think I’ve ever been there and they have got it right. I normally check it but because of the queue I didn’t. I’m Disappointed in KFC AGAIN.

I don't know if it was our order as there were about 20 people waiting and a girl just shouted out a meal that sounded like mine so I took it - no checks.

I work with customers myself, a smile and pleasant attitude goes a long way, and it's free! Sour faces don't look good.

This is my local KFC and I have been many times in my lifetime. This KFC is known for being very unclean. In the last few years this KFC has been done up so it looks more modern. The staff are usually quite rude with odd exceptions. The krushem machine almost always doesn't work. I would just like to add that in the past the chicken has had a strange chemical taste as if chicken was put on a freshly cleaned surface. As well as this the staff never fill the Pepsi to the top and it sometimes tastes a little flat.

They seem to be on a clamp down with handing out serviettes for customers and dips. What happened did you overspend on the budget?They have removed the ‘help yourself’ serviettes from the counter and now count them themselves and put them on your tray with your order. It really is degrading to ask for more!The same with the dips, ask for a dip and they check your order to see if you are entitled to a free dip, and you get just ONE!This was my favourite KFC in Bolton, I would travel over 2 miles to visit it, but recently the service has become very bad.Two weeks ago Friday lunch time, I walked in and they were practically queuing outside the door, and there was just one till out of four on… Yes, ONE till… this is really not acceptable at lunch time. Eventually they opened another till, but only when I had almost reached the end of the queue and after a 10 minute + wait.May I suggest you sort it out, otherwise people will start to think you do not want customers coming back!

I said that I am not usually offered mayo dips at the one on St Helens Road in Bolton, she offered me a choice of mayo dips and really did make my visit enjoyable. The service was fairly fast and nothing was to much trouble for her. I do not make a habit of eating fast food but when I do I want to enjoy it. the food was really good and crunchy and crispy and fresh. I will certainly go back there again.

Very dirty tables and floors every time I've been in over last few years. Decided after this week's visit will not go again. I can see most people agree it's disgusting and staff look depressed.

I like KFC, I cannot lie but this KFC at Middlebrook in Horwich is not one I frequent very often. I visited on Monday 25th July approximately 11am in the hope of having a meal and spending some time with a coffee or two.I honestly could not wait to get out of the place, in fact the moment I walked in, I should have walked out…The food was fine, no problems there, the background noise (which in effect is supposed to be background noise!) was turned up so loud I thought I had stepped into a nightclub! I did consider asking for a manager in order for it to be turned down, but I couldn’t be bothered, clearly the staff didn’t care – If I had been working there with that noise playing, I’d wanted my boss to provide me with a pair of earplugs! Some poor employee – probably a shift manager was actually trying to work in one corner on a laptop! I watched a few people come and go, and could clearly see they too wondered why the music was turned up so high, so it was not just me.I was in there for approximately 45 minutes and about 5 minutes before I left, someone (thank god) turned down the volume a fraction!There’s loud and there’s loud, and clearly KFC is NOT the kind of place people want to hear music which is played at such a volume.I left, and bought my extra coffee elsewhere on the Middlebrook Retail Park where it was a little quieter!I like KFC, I cannot lie but this KFC at Middlebrook in Horwich is not one I frequent very often.

It took 15 minutes to get my food from ordering from a that didn't look to bothered about his hygiene . With the amount of time it took to get my food you would expect it to be somewhat freshly cooked or hot but no it was freezing. And dry on a stale bun .Overflowing bins and rubbish on the table There was only myself and 2 other couples in The place needs closing and replaced my a another fast food chain or better still replace all the staff n management

Arrived at 12.45pm prior to going to the nearby cinema. My wife found one clean table (it was the table for the disabled, of which she qualifies). In the half hour we were there I observed 4 diners cleaning the tables with napkins. One member of staff walked past a gentleman who was doing this, pushed a chair in, and disappeared into the staff area. She didn't appear again. The food wasn't up to much either. Not a patch on the Chorley outlet. Will not be dining here again.

A shocking experience. I took a chap with a learning disability here for tea today. The place was a shambles. Customers were kept waiting - with one member of staff serving, and three others goofing around in the back.The cutlery area was empty of forks etc. and filled with grime and detritus. All the tables were covered in grease, crumbs, and trays of rubbish. Napkins had run out, so a roll of grubby wiping down paper was on the counter to use. The food itself was sad looking and sort of 'deflated'. The chicken was a tiny bit under-cooked.I will call Environmental health tomorrow.

I was totally shocked on just how disgusting this place was. As a chain of a very major fast food outlet, you expect a consistent level.Tables were covered in rubbish, and the floor had so much food, straw wrappers and paper plates that it must have accumulated over time.Looking around all you could see were people clearing tables, and wiping them down so they could sit there.The food. Chips were cold, not even Luke warm, just stone cold. The chicken was the greasiest I've ever had.KFC if you have any pride in your brand then this outlet should be closed down.

7 of us went in before going to watch Star Wars in December. The place was so dirty it put us off our food. The bins were overflowing, tables had rubbish on, the floors were filthy. The toilets also where horrible and there was no toilet roll. There was no excuse considering there was barely anyone in there. It has genuinely put me off ever eating kfc again

Rude staff Dirty staff. Terrible management. Absolutely appalling management. Visited on a week day yesterday. No chicken as they've not got any flour. They'd also not got any zingers available for ten minutes. Extremely dirty till service operator can't have washed his hands all night. I genuinely can't understand how KFC can allow this place to keep going as it is. Anyone who visits knows it's substandard to the highest level. Sadly after visiting for years, for convenience, it's easily the worst KFC in the UK. And it's all down to the utterly appalling staff and lack of any visible management talent or ability. Shocking and needs to be checked by environmental health. A place this dirty can't be safe.

Order my meal and my friends as well. One minute saying theres nothing in for my friends meal next minute they are saying its in really.Everything we asked for they didnt seem to have in stock including diet pop and it was peak time. Rude staff, Really they need a better team plus better people to talk properly plus more kindly as well. Really this has to be the worst experience at this KFC ever im never coming back again. No one do not visit this place they also gave me a dirty tray as well for my friends food and wouldnt give use a fresh clean one. Having waited for a long time for our food, it came cold and overcooked.

Reluctantly called at KFC Middlebrook, Horwich for take away for daughter. I say reluctantly because last time I had a meal at this KFC both the service and food was diabolical and I said I would never go again. Well, no improvement, the staff, the food, the service has gone from bad to worse. Avoid unless you have crawled out of a desert and have not eaten for a month. The picture is of the excuse for gravy they offered me. Say no more!!!

Called here last night, trip hazard on entering building as the rubber mat was gathered up, only 2 people in front of me in the queue so I thought I wouldn't be waiting long..until the girl in front told me that she had been waiting around 15 minutes already, only 1 boy and 1 girl serving and making up the orders, took me 10 minutes to get to the counter..but I walked away with my order in less than 2 minutes, but the order was wrong..I was given 2 fries instead of one, wasn't sure if I had been charged for 2 fries as I wasn't given a receipt, there was no-one clearing/cleaning the tables and the place looked a tornado had just blown through, no fresh wipes available in the outlets either.Very Disappointing and Very Unprofessional..get your act together Colonel!

My visit to Kaspa's was an absolute disaster. I ordered the Hazelnut Choc Deluxe sundae, but what I got was anything but that. The Ferrero Rocher, which was supposed to be a highlight, was completely missing. Instead, the sundae was a random mix that didn't come close to what was advertised. To make matters worse, the service was atrocious. After being told to sit down and wait, I was ignored for over 20 minutes, when we where the only ones there. Not a single staff member bothered to take my order until I had to get up and go to the counter myself. The lack of care and attention from the staff was beyond frustrating. This place is a joke when it comes to customer service and getting orders right. Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else. Kaspa's is definitely not worth your time or money.

Forgot my fries even though I ordered a meal. Woman at the drive thru working half arsed didn’t even say anything or communicate to me if that was my full order. Worker with a dirty jacket clearly visible also. KFC what are you doing? never coming back again. Atleast they gave me salt for my fries 🤣🤣🤣
