I ordered via the app for collection and was told to check in on the app so I did. The app told me my order was being prepared and it would be called out once it was ready. I sat and waited for about half an hour and went up to the counter. The lady proceeded to tell me I was supposed to check in at the counter, that was not explained in the app or anywhere so how was I supposed to know? I went to the toilets and one of the cubicles wasn't even in order, the floor was dirty and the smell of the bathroom was overall disgusting, it seems like they don't clean properly. The staff act as if they have all the time in the world, moving about like snails, chatting and laughing with each other! I finally got my order and proceeded to drive home. Once I was home, the bag had split in half, leaving all of my dinner in the footwell of the car. Clearly someone had not put the lid on the gravy properly as it had spilled everywhere! The food was mediocre at best. Most of it was cold and unappetising.

When to collect food, when we got there we was told we couldn’t order any orders which involved family eating as they was near to closing, and couldn’t be bothered to cook any more pieces. No manners in which they were speaking to us as customers. Polish member of staff was yelling. Rudeness to another level!!! Customer service courses- try sending your staff in some! Will never order from here again, rather go into Leicester. We was given all the rubbish pieces, dried out, obviously they’d been sitting there along time. My friend who I was with actually was a manger from another branch and was shocked in how we was treated by the branch in Coalville!!!!

We ordered from here tonight Friday 1st September and yet AGAIN the order is incorrect, normally they just leave out portions or the drink but this time the order is an entirely different order including order number! We called the restaurant to be told we had to go to just eat to get our money back and we had to go to collect our food. The manager that deals with the telephone calls has AWFUL customer revive skills. She’s rude, disrespectful, never takes responsibility for giving the driver the wrong orders and always blames them. She needs sacking. I have never known incompetence like it, the job is not particularly tasking, cook food, put food in the right bag, send food AND drink to house with a driver. She blames the driver so she isn’t penalised for it! It’s a shame really because it’s in a prime location and got real potential. The CEO is clearly not taking an interest in his chains and franchises and the franchise owner clearly has zero interest in the reputation of the establishment. It’s a catastrophe at best. The entire place needs sacking and starting again. To say I’m furious is an understatement and it is not an exaggeration when I say they make a mess of every single order we have placed. It’s ridiculous

Went in today for lunch. Uncleared tables is the first impression followed by being asked the same question at least three times over the order, then got the wrong drinks. No napkins or cleaning wipes so had to go back to the car for tissues as you can't eat this food without, especially if you have a beard. Food was soggy, tepid fries, and dry chicken. Won't bother going here again Ashby, just up the road, is much better.

Worst KFC ive ever had....zinger tower trilogy box meal and a bbq chicken wrap is what i ordered on my lunch break. Everything was cold apart from the gravey which was a little bit warm. The zinger tower burger was slapped together with no care and attention the chicken wrap had bones in and the drink was only 3/4 full. Absolute joke and there is certainly nothing finger licking good about tjis place any more suggest you close your doors for good or have a serious think about whats going on in this place

I've worked out that it is with good reason theres always a massive queue at Mcdonalds across the road and never one at KFC, its because people dont want to sit in a dirty environment while eating, The staff in KFC seem to just stand behind the counter quite happy that the restaurant is filthy In 90% of Mcdonalds theres a member of staff on the restaurant floor cleaning and usually another outside picking up litter So Colonel Sanders, if you're listening if you need an example of how to run a cleaner fast food restaurant just peer over the A511, and use the Mcdonalds business model, oh and don't employ lazy staff

Absolutely disgusting KFC. I love KFC but this one in Coalville is diabolical. Horrible staff and 2 of them were smoking cannabis round the back of the drive thru... I took my family there for food and we had a family feast bucket and the chicken was pink in the middle!!!! We complained and the manager (who had black teeth) wasn’t even bothered! We eventually got our money back and I will NEVER go to this KFC again! Shame there wasn’t a minus option on the rating because this place would be a minus 5... Also they have rats in the bushes in the car park... DISGUSTING PLACE!

Where do I start. The staff are always half asleep, food always takes ages and always arrives cold due to it being sat on the side for 5 minutes.Next, the toilets. Honestly, go over the road to McDonald's for the loo, unless you like the smell of staile pee.Lastly general lack of cleaning. The place is disgusting, food all over the floor, on the tables. Members of staff clearly not washing their hands. The only saving grace for KFC, is that a new KFC is opening up in Ashby. That will have to go a long way to be this bad.

Consistent bad service, ordered through drive through asked to park in bay as food wasn't ready, still sat there 20mins & ended up walking in the restaurant to collect as they forgot to bring the food out!! Once home not all of my order was in the bag ( not the first time this has happened) and the fries were burnt, extremely greasy and inedible, then had to drive back to return food for a refund. This is in my experience the worst food outlet in coalville, never using it again, sticking to McDonald's.

Ok so I know they are probably cooking to order but I waited 10minutes to get to the order bit, there was only 4cars in front of me, then another 20mins+ to get my food..my kids were not too impress and wished we had gone to McDonald’s..they were then deeply disappointed with the kids meal, ok so you have icecream as an option which they love but the size of the box and the food inside was a shock!! I know kids don’t eat much but maybe they should consider, as a company, making the boxes smaller or adding a toy/activity pack...Anyway i didn’t take a photo as I quickly sorted the kids in the car park, I just couldn’t cope with the crying any longer, when I got home to eat my food, I had no dip which comes with the boneless banquet, no salt, no wipes, no spork, my chips were freezing & dry and my chicken was not as good as it has been before as in fresh and hot (we always take our food home as we have sat in before and been appalled at the state of the place) but my chicken was edible..oh and I had no straw for my drink..when I arrived at the payment hatch they asked me if it was 2 chrushems, which was obviously the order after me (he was shouting a lot in the queue so I would imagine he gave them what for when it was his turn) all in all I think there was enough staff there to be helping but not sure they were helping the staff on drive through, the wait was far too long for a ‘fast food’ drive through restaurant, the kids meals are pathetic and my meal was not great, we won’t be back and will be trying the new one in ashby next time!

i have used this KFC on many times and i am sad to say it is not always a good experience, the last time i had food from their my chicken was not cooked all the way through. Tonight i went in to get food they were not busy and with only 1 car in the drive through. I ordered my food then stood waiting in totel 10 min while a young lady was taking orders but the rest of the team members were either serving car coming through the driver through after i had paced my order, or they were just standing around talking and messing about. from the reviews on here i guess i am not the only customer that think they are terrible.

I love KFC and often frequent the one in Leicester city centre (a much better one) but as for coalville KFC words cannot describe this place. everything is poor, especially the service and the worst thing is.. it NEVER improves. the staff are unkempt and seemingly don't seem to have any customer service skills. always left waiting. always something missing from your order and the place is always untidy. the place is not run well and as mentioned the staff don't have a clue (often there uniform is scruffy and untucked and covered in grease and that's front of house!!). if your left waiting there is no interaction at all between staff and customer and there are no social skills (not even a welcoming smile). this place is a let down to the rest of well run KFCs in the country.

No music, no vibe, uninterested staff and when you could grab their attention you were only allowed one sachet of your preferred choice of garnish. Food was dry and overlooked. Needless to say my next visit to a fast food establishment will be of the Scottish influence (McDonalds)

We called at around 7 pm when the sunday rush had finished. The food was very greasy; more so than other KFCs. The toilets were filthy, smelly and had no paper in the gents. The floor of the resteraunt was covered in food and packaging as though no one could be bothered to tidy up. Its been 2 years since I have visited but not improved at all. It will be more than 2 years before I give it another chance. Why chose to eat in this dirty smelly filthy place when there is so much more choice?

The only time we go here is if we are desperate for a KFC as it is the nearest one unless you go to Leicester service station. The food here is either so bad it makes you sad that you wasted money on it or it is just satisfactory, Rarely is the chicken hot, the chips are absolutely awful in that they are also very cold and dry and when sauce is required on a product they either put way too much on or basically nothing at all. If you go through the drive through you can tell the kitchen has very little in way of a system as people are just rushing about asking each other for help not knowing what to do. The management there really need to listen to these complaints and step the hell up.

The best one was last week when they had ran out of FRIES at 1130am!!! I got offered a hash brown instead!! Joke. Also got over charged for three hot wings and only got two.

It serves me right really. I visited this place about 8 years ago, but had such poor service that I swore never to return again.Today I decided that the service must have improved since then and I should try again especially as I wanted to try the stacker burger.After eventually finding the drive through entrance (surprisingly poorly signposted), and waiting patiently at the 'Comfirm your order here' speakbox (so long that I was beginning to wonder whether I had missed the 'Propose your order here' box), I was informed, after requesting the stacker burger that they had no lettuce, nor BBQ sauce for this!For goodness sake, this was at 13:15, presumably early lunchtime (as the restaurant was empty) and couldn't one of the staff nipped across the road to the rather large Lidl to pick up some lettuces and sauce????I instead went to the adjacent McDonalds, to wait in the massive queue (obviously massive for a good reason) and got a burger with some lovely crunchy lettuce.

I worked here some years ago and it was hitting targets, staff were friendly and would work their ar*ses off. No gruesome stories that you'd usually hear about fast food or QSR restaurants. The last couple of years I've been back as a customer, the place has gone extremely down hill. The lobby is dirty, the staff don't look as if they know what to do (and extremely rude in most cases). The staff turn around is ridiculous so they obviously aren't happy in their jobs. To be fair some days I wasn't but your their to do a job so it wouldn't hurt them to make an effort. Nearly EVERY TIME I've been in the last 2/3 years there have been issues with my order. I never expect to go and have a happy experience, the customer service there now cannot serve, pack or deliver an order without an issue. The only reason I go is because it's the closest KFC for miles and I don't go often. I wouldn't say avoid but I wouldn't say you will get your standard service, it's very poor.

Then out came the fraud pen This process then continued through most of the staff until we found one person that realised that sterling is the currency of the UK.

The poor lad taking orders was doing everything whilst his team members stood around and watched him. I ordered 2 pieces of chicken with chips and got 2 wings. Not much meat on wings. I took it back and he gave me 2 thighs. I felt so sorry for this guy. No manager around. Give this place a miss.

Just got back after stopping off at KFC Coalville for a bite to eat.What a disgrace!!Staff very flippant and a 'couldn't care less' attitude.Chicken literally dripping with grease and chips cold.The chips looked like they had been out since last week, they were almost stone cold.Not only this but no hand wipes and no tissues whatsoever!!People were using the paper bags that the small chips come with to wipe their hands and that of their children!Getting salt sachets and sauces was like getting blood out of a stone.... once they had managed to find them....There was no Manager to complain to in order to address this issue, just a handful of young staff who all seemed like they didn't have a clue what they were doing.The seating and tables were all covered in grease marks and bits of food - quite frankly disgusting!As we left the young person serving at the counter was having to tell more customers of the lack of hand wipes and tissues, and was finding it very amusing.What a disgrace to the KFC name. I certainly will never be visiting this KFC again, and neither will my family and friends.Enough said!!

Ate at KFC ON LOUGHBOROUGH on Saturday for a change from McDonalds. Whata dump. Think all staff were on lunch break,one staff taking orders one trying to put orders together and one doing drive thru a queue formed and was a mile long. Food was cold. Place was dirty and unkempt filthy tables full of rubbish and no one cleaning up the floor was covered in food and overflowing bins on top of that it was freezing in there . We asked for two chicken breasts and chips and got a leg and a breast sneekily put in the bag when I complained I was given a load of lip from the girl on the drive thru window. Saying we ain't got any more breast. If you cant have what you order why not tell the customer and they can go elsewhere. All in all a crap experience and wouldn't eat here again if I was starving 0 out of 10 is my score for this dump.

Thought we would have a Bargain bucket as a treat for our tea, not had one for a few months so was looking forward to it. On arrival the restaurant was very messy and seemed as though no one was concentrating on clearing the tables. When i got to the counter the young guy on the till next to me obviously new the girl he was just about to serve and was laughing with her. He then asked her what she wanted, filled the box and off she went!! No money taken! So if your stock is down then you need to be looking at the staff. Our food was fine but i do feel that the pieces of chicken are getting smaller and smaller and there is always a waiting time as you are not prepared.

My daughter and I have recently been introduced to KFC and we love it - but I would rather drive out of my way than visit Coalville KFC again. We have been there 2 time to date and the tables, floor and seats are never clean. Service is poor as well.

We visited the Coalville KFC Drivethru tonight at 22:20 to be told there was no chicken as they were closing soon. We were told they had fillet burgers but not much else! We appreciate that it was late at night, however we are of the undertanding that if you're open until a certain time you ought to serve food until that time! McDonalds over the road had our custom instead, and the van behind us did the same thing. What a joke - won't be bothering again!

I like KFC food and occasionally call into the Coalville branch. The staff are typically very young but I don't think that is the problem. I have never received exactly what I ordered and perhaps not surprisingly I never get extra, only less.Now I always check in the restaurant / carpark and invariably end up back at the counter asking for a missing hot wing etc. etc. I spoken to the manager (team leader,) on several occasions and now believe that this is deliberate. If the staff were just crap sooner or later I'd have got something extra but this has never happened. If every customer drives off with one missing piece of chicken, well I'm sure you can work it out...

I've ordered takeaway bargain bucket 10 pieces. When I get home I've notice there is only 8. I've been robbed:) Beside that mistake I have good experience. KFC staff is friendly, no problems at all. Just need some education -math.

How KFC can allow this franchise to continue is beyond me. The food is appalling, swimming in fat and oil - staff are downright rude and unpleasant.Everything is as cheap as possible, food thrown into brown paper bags rather than boxes and never a napkin, salt or pepper or handwipe.Dismal place - avoid at all costs - you have been warned

KFC in Coalville is THE WORST KFC that iv ever been to! The service is terrible. Every time iv been there the food order has been wrong, cold or has taken ages!! I am stupid to keep giving it the benefit of a doubt, but I'm not going to anymore. I'd rather risk getting hit by a car crossing the road to McDonald's then go through the agro of ordering at this KFC. God bless

I have visited this outlet several times as it's the nearest.Every visit is a problem they consistently get the order wrong, then just grunt when you tell them on one accasion one sales person even argued that I was wrong and I had not ordered the item in question even tho the receipt clearly showed i had and that i paid for it.The last visit and it will be my last, they kept us waiting for ten miniutes at the counter even when one member of staff said " oh my god look at the queue" then walked away, and when they did finally serve us they then anounced all chicken would be 20 mins, Even though they are supposed to be a chicken fast food outlet.I find the lack of service appalling need to get in a decent manager.

The service is absolutely appalling in the evenings, on one occasion we decided to eat in, most of the restaurant was closed off ready for cleaning, the only spot left to sit was near the door to the toilets and bin. Whilst eating our meal a member of staff emptied the bin and proceeded to spray about half a bottle of cleaning fluid around it. He then decided to mop around our feet as we sat eating before going to serve a customer without washing his hands. My husband confronted him about his actions and the member of staff argued back.The second occasion we decided to use the drive through. There was a car in front of us which was already waiting and after roughly 3 minutes was served, we pulled forward and was made to wait another 3 minutes before being served. Once we got to the hatch to pay, I was handed my drink with a here's your drink, the meal was already boxed and just needed her to close the box before handing it over, we were left waiting for this whilst she served the next customer coming through the drive through. You may say that maybe they were very busy.... you would be wrong the restaurant was empty apart from staff.There were no manners what so ever and not even an apology for being made to wait !!!!

It was about 5 years ago that I first visited a KFC in Oxford Street London, I was amazed on how unhygenic the place was and the food was wha tI expected it to be greasy which basically put me off until recently, my partner did state in the London KFC that the place and food was nothing like other KFC's she had eaten.So I was greatly surprised in the excellent quality of takeaway we had from the Coalville branch and I will be returning, but the London Experience has unfortunately still provided me with mistrust towards any unknown KFC.

So rude, we gave up and left. Worse run KFC franchise ever, get a manager in for goodness sake, we were studiously ignored by three staff.

Tonight I attempted to get a simple 3 piece chicken meal via the drive through. This was were things went wrong. There was a note stating card payment did not work. After ordering I was told to park up as the meal would be 3 minutes. After waiting 15 minutes I went on for a refund and asked to speak with the manager. Her response was on Sunday evening she has to do paperwork and a trainee was unable to cope. Not good enough.

I have always lived in the area and have visited KFC at coalville over the years with no problems.Until last night - We were left waiting at the drive thru for 5 minutes with no response on the intercom, with having no response my partner kept saying "hello" "hello" with no reply. Then all of a sudden we hear "if he keeps saying hello I am going to go ballistic" We were then made to wait a further 2 minutes before our order was taken. When ordering I asked for a bottle of fanta/tango with my meal rather than in a cup (I have done this previously with no issues at all) nothing was said by the person taking my order so we drove round to pay. After paying we were presented with 2 cups of tango/fanta. I told the cashier that I had asked for a bottle, she replied "you only have a meal we only do the bottles with buckets" I know this to be false as I have done it previously with no issues at all. All in all we won't be returning and the girl in question (sadly I didn't get her name!) needs some serious retraining in customer service!

It's one of the best subways i have ever been to. The staff are friendly and make delicious subs. Personally, I had an italian BMT as it is my usual order, and it was wonderful. I thoroughly recommend this Subway.
