Dreadful experience, long wait for food, had to ask them to top up my drink as only half full. Toilet door did not lock and they was disgusting!

Had a great takeaway experience at KFC Lower Borough Walls. The service was quick, and the food was fresh and well-prepared. The staff was friendly, and the order was accurate. A good spot for a quick bite in Bath

I travel all around the country and this place wins the award for not just the dirtiest KFC but the dirtiest fast food place I have ever visited. The food was surprisingly OK but service was sloppy and totally unprofessional. Imagine having to ask for sugar to only have 3 sachets basically thrown at you. I know you won't belive me when I say this place needs shutting and not opening until it's had a deep clean, so I have enclosed 3 pics of the men's toilets. The floor and edges of eating area are just as bad. So you think for a minute what the food prep areas might be like. I'm not going to just leave this on here, but am going to forward this message to the correct authorities. Good luck and I look forward to you getting the marigolds out. Disgusting.😡 Ps. I think the last time this place was cleaned was obviously on last FSA visit. 🤣 Not worth the paper it's written on. Pps..the 5* reviews from their mates dont fool anyone.🤣 eg...look at the one below who says place is lovely and clean! No offence but are they blind?

Food quality has definitely improved since the new opening and we've not yet been disappointed in the chicken. The fries took a dip when they first became 'healthy', but have improved since then as well. The staff are friendly, capable and welcoming.

My wife and had a meal last Saturday evening, 22/02/25, the place was almost empty, two tables were covered in rubbish, the bin was overflowing, the staff on duty not behind the counter either couldn’t see it or didn’t care. There seemed to be no respect to keep the place tidy, my wife had to ask a staff member to clear a table for us, this should have been spotted. There was liquid on the floor by the bins that needed cleaning, wet floor signs not being used, at the table opposite a lady in a group of three was vaping, surely illegal?????. My wife alerted a member of staff, our meals were an absolute rip off, i paid £16:00 for and let’s be honest, a meal for one. The chicken nuggets were essentially children’s portions and the chips( about 12 of them) were £2:00 + really ?????. No way were our meals worth anywhere near £16:00 ????.

I Complained to Environmental Health Dec 2024 • Couples Beware this place is dirty in all areas, tables , floors and toilets are disgusting. Food is dry and overcooked. Staff show no customer service skills. I complain to KFC head office and was given a £10 voucher 👎 I then called the Environmental Health Dept in Bath and asked why they had 5 star in window. They took my complaint seriously and went there and changed rating to 4 Star. I think it should be 3 or 2 Star. KFC Head Office need to sort this branch out immediately. *****All 1star reviewers complain to KFC Customer Services as we did for a £10 voucher and hopefully find a better KFC Branch.*****

Awful KFC. Got a fillet tower box meal and asked for bbq sauce and was told it cost 50p when it's meant to be kentucky so surely it should be free when ketchup and mayo is free? Chips were laughable as wli literally got max 10 chips and paid over £10 for this meal. Will never be visiting a KFC store again.

I recently visited KFC Bath and was truly impressed by the exceptional customer service provided by Ben, Colin, and Madi. From the moment I walked in, they were welcoming, professional, and attentive, creating a pleasant dining experience. Ben demonstrated great efficiency and ensured that my order was taken accurately and promptly. Colin maintained a friendly and positive attitude, making sure that customers felt valued and well looked after. Madi provided excellent service with a warm and approachable demeanor, ensuring that everything met my expectations. Their teamwork and dedication to customer satisfaction were evident, making my visit to KFC Bath a standout experience. It’s refreshing to receive such high standards of service in a fast-paced environment. I highly recommend this location and commend Ben, Colin, and Madi for their outstanding hospitality.

You could hardly see the bin as rubbish was stacked up high on it and piled around it. My daughter pointed out a rat dragging a chicken drumstick up the stairs. We left immediately.

Me and my family visited here for the first time just before Christmas and we will not be back. I ordered on the screen and the service was fine, it wasn't overly busy and they got the order correct, which other places usually don't. However the chicken seemed undercooked so we didn't eat it and didn't chance asking for more, we notice another couple with the same problem downstairs as we left. The upstairs ladies toilets smelt of urine, had urine all over the floor and side of toilet as if the men had been using it and the toilet seat wasn't even attached! Absolutely vile!!

This is probably the worst KFC I have ever been to. To start with we place the order on the self order thing and didn't get a receipt. Then once we were given the order there was a hot drink missing so they then decided to say they don't have them.. so we were given a cold drink instead but couldn't get a refund for the difference. Once we sat down we noticed that one of the orders had the wrong extras with it so asked about that and got told we must have ordered the wrong stuff..... So all in all I wouldn't recommend going to this one, save your money and go else where.. Well do to the Bath lower Borough Walls one, you are probably the worst KFC I have ever been to.

I recently visited KFC in Bath and had a mixed experience. The ambiance was typical of a fast-food chain: bright and bustling. The service was prompt, with the staff being friendly and efficient in taking orders. However, the cleanliness of the restaurant left much to be desired. Tables were not thoroughly cleaned, and the floors seemed sticky in some areas. This detracted from the overall dining experience. As for the food, the fried chicken was flavorful and cooked to perfection, as expected from KFC. The sides, including the coleslaw and fries, were tasty and served hot. However, the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price paid. One notable downside was the lack of healthy options on the menu. While KFC is known for its indulgent offerings, it would be beneficial to include more nutritious choices to cater to a wider audience. Overall, while KFC Bath delivers on its signature fried chicken taste, improvements in cleanliness and menu diversity could enhance the dining experience for customers.

Had to drop my stepdaughter at work at around 10pm so having a 40 mile drive home I thought ah a KFC. Tell you what I wish I hadn't bothered. The guy walked up an said we got no burgers he hadn't even asked me what I wanted. He then went to serve the people behind me they kindly said I was 1st so I asked for a 10pce family feast he looked back into the kitchen then said we only got 5 pieces init mate. I just walked out in disbelief he didn't offer to cook some. I was made to feel irrelevant. This was this evening sunday 4th Feb just after 10 pm. This place is rubbish and had rats running around at the side of the building the bins were so full.

Snack bar, what can I say, the food was a taste sensation. It felt like I was on the great wall of China slewping some soup and digesting some delicious noodles. If I could recommend but one delicious dish it would be the won ton soup. I tucked into that cabbage delight in my holiday inn. Thank you snack bar

I was extremely disappointed with my visit to Mulberry & Thyme Café at the Hillier Garden Centre on Whiteway Road, Bath. I took my friend there for a birthday lunch, expecting a special experience, but it turned out to be a complete letdown. From the moment we arrived, things felt off. Despite trying to book a table in advance, no one answered the phone. When we got there, the café was almost empty, with only a few other customers—surprising for lunchtime. The menu was uninspiring, the cake selection was underwhelming, though the scones looked nice. I ordered a brie, bacon, and mango chutney toastie, while my friend had a cheese and ham toastie. Since I have a broken hand, I politely asked if they could remove the fat from my bacon, as I couldn’t do it myself. When my food arrived, the fat was still there, so I had to open the toastie myself to take it out. That’s when I noticed multiple hairs inside my sandwich. Shocked, I spoke to the waitress, who took it back to the kitchen. When she returned, she told me it wasn’t hair—it was the mango chutney. This was honestly one of the most shocking parts of the experience. It felt as though I was being told to just shut up and eat it, as if I was imagining things. I’ve since checked, and there are no references anywhere to mangoes being a hairy fruit. This excuse simply didn’t make sense. I politely refused to accept this and asked for a refund. At this point, a more experienced staff member or someone from the kitchen should have stepped in to handle the situation properly. Instead, it was left to a new staff member, who openly admitted she didn’t know how to process a refund and struggled with the till. Eventually, she told me to come back later, which felt dismissive and unprofessional. What made the experience even worse was the complete lack of apology or any offer of replacement food. I was simply left without a meal, making it an awkward and disappointing birthday treat for my friend. The staff didn’t seem to care at all, which left a bad impression. The only positives were the good coffee and the fact that the café has a lovely veranda with beautiful views—though it was too cold to sit outside on our visit. Afterward, we walked around the garden centre, which is a great place to browse, and I made a purchase to at least come away with something positive from the visit. However, the contrast between this café and the Bath Soft Cheese Company café (which I visited the previous week) was staggering. While the Bath Soft Cheese Company was thriving with excellent food and customer service, Mulberry & Thyme felt like a missed opportunity. If they improved their food quality, service, and attention to customers, it could be a fantastic addition to the garden centre and attract more visitors. As it stands, I cannot recommend this café unless you’re only stopping for a coffee and a view.
