KFC Newton Aycliffe - A167 in County Durham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great place, good food, freindly staff.... Worth a visit or two 👍

Regular here food is always spot on

Must have absolute morons working here how can you miss two big box meals out of an order

Food was super fresh and the workers were super polite and accommodating since me and my homies are not from here.

EDIT: I gave this place 5 stars 3 years ago when they first opened , I have to edit my review now and class this as the worst KFC I’ve ever been to. It’s badly run and the food is terrible. If you go at night time they have barely any staff working and they will say they have ran lot of certain products. I’ve also been during the day where they gave me someone else’s order. The food quality here isn’t as good as other KFCs. The only positive I can now say is that the inside of the restaurant is nice and modern. I do not recommend this place.

What can I say its fast food place

I had to wait a few minutes but it was worth the wait. The food was cooked to perfection. The new style fries are a winner.

Ordered at the drive through. Checked the order was right on the screen. Paid at the window. Collected at next window. Got home and realised she hadn't given us the drinks and also missing a chicken meal. So annoying.

100% the worst kfc I’ve ever been to, went in there between half 9 and 10 and was the only person in there, I tried to look for the deal they were offering, so went on the computer screens and couldn’t find it so decided to walk over to the counter, after 5 to 10 minutes of no one coming to me I decided to go back to the computer screen and eventually found the deal on offer, mini fillet burger popcorn chicken and chips £2.99, on then placing an order for myself and my missus I stood there for over 20 minutes before a young girl passed me my order and said sorry about the wait with a somewhat smirk has if she couldn’t give two hoots, so after all that I thought at least the food should be freshly cooked and piping hot, which to be honest my missus 3 piece of chicken were but for £5.49 they were tiny pieces of chicken, then for me to start eating my food which was stone cold and my mini fillet burger had no lettuce on, I think is one pee take to much, if I wasn’t so far away from home I would of returned the food but like the staff I couldn’t be arsed

they never, ever, ever remember the sauces. imagine a dipping bucket with no sauces?? gross plate of beige. they’ve even forgotten a full 1.5 litre of pop before. never again

3rd time in a row they have left food out of our family box’s ! And Rats everywhere. Avoid !!

Love the food.. Gravy is amazing.. I don’t visit often enough!!

I don't know how many times you can't forget to put sauces in an order.

So disappointed, there was 2 strands of lettuce on each of the burgers and a blob of sauce, the cookies were burnt £28 spent on fire food won’t be using again, didn’t think to take photo of burger as we just wanted to eat

Ok, I might be bias. But service was top, food was top, (did they give me extra large chicken for this review)? Well no...we all enjoyed it and it was very filling. I think this was my first time and can't wait to go back.

Chips seasoned with either pepper or garlic salt . Do me a favour.

I have just had the most disgusting take away from the KFC at Newton Aycliffe. Cold and Dripping with oil and very soggy because of it. There was a small pool of Oil in the tub. This was both the chips and the chicken. If I could post the pictures I took I would. One Star for the food cos the gravy was decent. Kids serving were friendly and swift which was OK but I know why now

The worst customer service I have ever experienced

Just been there and I would not recommend going at all.. The customer service is abysmal, wouldn't take Defence Discount Card as you have to have the app apparently yet elsewhere they take it. Asked for the manager and she was it on the mic apparently shouldn't she be watching her staff if she's the manager. Also as the brown bag was passed over it started to tear and split on the bottom and food went all over car as well as the coke.. BTW a brand new car may I say,, maybe I should sent the valeting bill, washing of clothes bill and a refund for the whole order as it all had to go in the bin etc to them.. bloody hopeless!! I RECOMMEND YOU STAY FAR AWAY FROM HERE AS YOU CAN.... UNLESS THIS IS HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.. DON'T DO IT!!!!!

Didn't even have any beans available 😳

Probably the worst kfc I’ve witnessed was sat in a bay for 15/20 minutes waiting on 2 burgers and a kids meal and they’ve messed one burger and the pieces of chicken that came with were stale I never touched mine as it was freezing can’t even get hold of them to complain

Again went here for a treat and let down again food not in the bag yes supposed to check but how hard is it to read what I orderd take your time your not busy , needs better management and training

Absolutely the worst KFC I've had the misfortunes to visit. Customer service is totally non-existent. The duty manager, a young woman in here late 20s, was literally surly and just did not care, plain and simple. Made me wait over 25 minutes for my order because they only had one working fryer. Pathetic.

Always brilliant food from this branch of kfc never had any complaints where as up the road thinford big disappointment. Well done a167 KFC 🍗 👏 👍

Absolute travesty of a location, they're constantly closing or turning off deliveries early. And when the food IS sent its not worth the money spent

Restaurant was very clean. Had an issue with the app but the staff went out their way to help and get it sorted. Food was ready within minutes. Great experience overall.

Food was hot, served straight away very quiet.

Would be nice to see a smile off some of the server's

Dry food, inedible, waste of money

Best chicken ever had from KFC. It was so nice and not dry at all. Highly recommended

The chicken coating was burnt chips cold I ate there many times but that was an awful banquet feast

Worst place waiting 40 min for a mighty bucket

Incredibly slow fast food, but friendly service.

Yesterday I have been there.. usually I go to kfc after work in this one.. First of all.. flies all over the place , not hygienic at all.. left overs on the table accumulated..dirty tables..deliveroo receipts and just eat sticking out..tablets sounds.. and the food seemed OK.. it took longer then usual to come bit it was OK.. except . That after 5 or 6 hours I was feeling like vomiting..could.not sleep at all..and this morning I can only let you imagine....cramps in my stomachs.. and more.....if they do not contact me I ll go straight to head office

It took ages until I got served although I was the only customer in line, food under expectations, tables and door handles all greasy... last time here. You better go accros the road at Mac, thouh I do not encourage this type of food.

They gave me food poisoning, I ordered KFC and have spent the last couple days since, barrelling it out my behind, it's vulgar and uncomfortable, I'm very sore, I initially didn't want to place this review until I woke up at 2am writhing in pain because too much gas has built up in my intestines, I now can't stand this place, which is a shame because the food is usually nice but not worth this risk in the slightest

Good service but poor fries and over salted chicken.

Food Great and fresh. Staff very friendly

Missing boneless chicken from both of our meals….should have known better they ALWAYS miss something at this KFC

Food was freshly prepared and hot. However this meant that there was a longer than expected wait. The service was OK. They just plodded on and served it all when it was eventually ready. The atmosphere was poor due to quite a few parents letting toddlers run wild all around everyone else's table while they had a rest. Not KFCs problem and not exclusive to them for sure. The ever present deliveroo drivers rushing in looking sweaty and in general less than smart never adds much to the atmosphere in these places either.

Called for food to take away very disappointed to find the only drinks without sweetners (very nasty)were fresh orange and water, then even though I had bought 2 meal deals I had to pay more for water and orange juice, not very good if anyone is allergic to sweetners

2nd time I’ve visited to discover a 20 minute wait on Fried Chicken. Not really sure why it’s worth visiting with a wait like that. Especially when that’s what they’re suppose to specialise in.

Made me wait over 40 minutes for a wrap which was so badly made that getting it out of the package in one piece was an achievement. One which didn't last long as it promptly spilt all over the floor after attempting a bite due to the tortilla being ripped and improperly folded.

Painfully slow service. This has happened multiple times

No dips at all with our meal four dips missing and could taste old oil on food very dissapointed

Terrible. £26 for 3 chicken fillet Burgers, all reheated and dry, 3 large fries, cold, and 2 gravy. Absolute rip off and no effort made on food. Won’t be going back.

The food was unpresentable. Two big boxes were used, one for the mighty meal for one and the trilogy meal and the food was placed in any box. It was a total rush job! We were asked if we wanted to go large which was a joke there was less food than when we ordered a standard meal. My husband asked for beans as a side it was the smallest carton imaginable and why we got gravy, I do not know it was not nice. The level of service is not acceptable KFC seem to concentrate on the Uber orders and the drive in customers are left sitting in the car park for a good ten minutes. We will not be back as Thinford provides a much higher level of service.

Awful service second time I've got food from here and the first time items were missing the second time got completely the wrong order and waited nearly 2 hours for delivery. Food was cold and stale. No way to get in touch with the restaurant to correct delivery. Don't bother using them for delivery.

they threw a chicken fillet at my nanna then hit her with a wet floor sign

Took a very long time. Rats all around the premises. Apart from that, just a KFC innit

Poor experience today.first time I'd been here.service is so slow,all tables were not clean.cutlery Station was filthy,and nothing was available there anyways.and my order was wrong,but that's just standard for kfc

Pessoal gentil comida bem feita, apenas a batata frita pouco gordurosa , mais no resto muito bom!!

Went through the drive thru, food was good and tasty! I asked if the Colonel was in, unfortunately he was out.

Drive through empty food served quick wrap of the day yum yum..

Good quality food, rapid service, pleasant staff.

Alway busy, order ahead with the app when you can.

Food was really nice but we did wait 20 mins for it!

My food was going to take five minutes longer than expected so I received apologies and offer of a dessert for my patience, brilliant service!

This is supposed to be a zinger burger? Worst one I've ever had, service is bloody awful, just chucked my tray of food on my table, I'd much rather have a McDonald's and they're just awful anyway.

They had no regular chicken and it was going to be a 20min wait to get served on the drive through

Decided to go inside and order ! Over 10 members of staff on duty,, Order a basic fillet meal with extra fillet on the side..... After 5 minutes i was told there where no beans left, After 10 minutes I was told my order was ready but would have to wait 3 mins for the extra fillet order. 10 minutes later my order was ready,,, 25 minutes for a basic meal and the branch and drive-through was empty. Everything was very cold. Avoid Avoid....

Staff couldn’t be bothered to serve when they did they did it with an attitude that obviously hate there job Order was completely wrong when I asked for what we actually ordered took a long time to come Something as simple as a kfc should be stright forward obviously needs some kind of training of the staff

We went to the drive through and were told that the mighty buckets for 1 were going to be 15 minutes so we said we would wait..girl said we will put in some extras. Parked the car in the pick up point waited 25 minutes got home no extras and the corn I paid for was missing. Not that bothered about the extras but I did expect to receive what I had paid for...won't be rushing back..second time now we had things missing.

Food was lovely, we pre ordered for collection, I was parked up no more than 5-10 minutes before we were on our way home. We got the 12pc boneless (my wife is a baby) and that was more than enough for us and our daughter. Our dogs even got to have some popcorn chicken.

The food was ok, but took a long time to turn up and the seating area was very dirty. Probably better off getting a take out.

Was parked and had to wait for almost half an hour for our drive through order and the place wasn't even busy. Got home with our order and found our Kentucky wrap had no salad or slaw just a dry chicken breast with a blob of mayo inside a wrap. Then took a drink of the 7up we ordered to find it was just soda water with ice. Very disappointed with this order and won't be back in a hurry.

Staff don't care and food wasn't the best very disappointed that a big company like KFC don't have a proper management team that keep these places up to standards😔

Tasty KFC Chicken with a selection of other fast food places near by.

KFC not providing enough staff. Food too long to serve - disorganised. Really awful working conditions for staff, expected to deal with customers who want fast food and waiting 20 minutes. Never bothering with KFC again, not anywhere. At least these staff were trying. KFC management at fault.

Waited over 5 minutes for person to speak/take our order. When Staff member did arrive they refused to speak up so couldn't hear. Same person on other side of shop came to take payment... all took way too long. Felt very cold and unwelcoming. Food... well... No lid for boneless bucket.. everything else thrown in on top (sauces napkins etc) Fries thrown into bag so all loose on opening. No care taken at all. Whole new meaning to fast food... disgusting. If you want to be treated like a pig... this is the ideal place for you.

Rude staff on the Uk's slowest drive through. Drive through was empty as was the car park but it still took ages for them to even attempt to take my order . The young girl manning the Drive through was rude and wouldn't serve me until I stopped vaping in my car . The co2 coming out exhaust of cars is more deadly. After serving me she slammed the window before I could even ask for napkins. She was more interested in the tik tok video on her phone . Last time I stop here on my lunch break, I'll just have to use McDonald's instead .

After i use them several times,i can say...Not great,not terrible! The only "problem" is that you have to wait a lot untill your order is done,even if they are not busy.Mabye KFC food,is getting done slower than MC or BK,i don't know. Another thing is the drive thru.This KFC is located in a Motorway Service Station,but they have a height limit of 2.7 meters, and means that I, with my van, cannot enter the drive thru,which is ridiculous for a service station 😂 Staff is friendly.The location is always clean and tidy.Toilets are free and very clean.

Ordered 3 meals on Uber eats. Got sent 1 meal and even that wasn’t correct. It’s an absolute joke that they can’t get an order correct

Good Customer Service Especially from Claire/Sarah ??? Many Thanks

Yeh good food mush kfc is always good my black mate loves it for some reason

Has to wait 10 mins for the chicken but staff explained the situation and offered us a drink. We weren't in a hurry for a change so all good.

Lovely helpful staff. Clean environment with excellent service

Though slow, this is a nice place to stop. Passed by around 7pm(ish) last night and here are the pros: 1. Located 5 minutes off the motorway so not too far to divert out. 2. Right next to petrol station. 3. The staff were very polite and helpful even with some customers being impatient. 4. Place is clean, even the toilets. 5. And they cook their recipe well, the best I've had in a while. If you are a patient kind of person, please ignore the negative reviews below and you will appreciate this KFC 🙂 ... Happy Travels

Less hassle than a service station. Clean and well organised. Food didn't take long to arrive (faster than most KFCs I've been to).

Great Service tonight, thanks KFC.

Really handy for the A1 I've been here 4 or 5 times over the past couple of years and I'm yet to see it busy

Kept waiting about 5 mins at the drive thru, and it wasn’t as if they were busy.

Chicken isn’t crunchy enough. But still doesn’t offer delivery to aycloffe despite being KFC Newton aycliffe… get with the present.

Expensive, Cold and didn't even get the order right! Tried to call.... No phone number available anywhere. Changed this review several times, but I'm afraid this branch of KFC just gets worse and worse. Waited 20 mins for an order, barely any food ready and next to no staff. You would think they would try harder with a macdonalds 30 seconds away.....

Fast food my backside staff were rude order was wrong never again

Had ran out of some items when we visited. Also got some orders wrong and there have been missing items in some orders on a few visits. So would recommend checking your food before you leave if using the drive-thru. Otherwise really nice.

Worst customer service from these people ever. Placed an online order and paid for it, to the go to the store to collect it and then to tell us it’s not there and we have to pay again. Even though we have proof of payment!!!!! Rude staff, badly trained, 0 customer service… expecting us to pay £60 for a kfc. Never again. That store needs to be closed down.

One of the better KFCs we've recently been to. Would have given 3 stars was not for the wonderful service we received from the staff. Thanks M you were fantastic.

Lovely, clean place, with polite staff, and great food.

Yeah one of the better KFC.s in darlington And the only one we're you can have a hot drink

They need more staff, walked in and there was about 5 people waiting for orders. Placed my order on the touch screen then waited over 20 mins for it, not good at all. The girl at the front did her best

Orders constantly and persistently wrong

The staff was very helpful for getting me a better thank you

Waited 35 minutes for my table order and it wasn't even busy in the place. Don't waste your time here!

Horrendous KFC, arrived 30 minutes before closing and it’s closed. About the 3rd time this has happened. Even worse, last time got 2 Flamin wraps and they weren’t hot or toasted. Apparently the Oven had broke. And to top it off when they are open this has to be the slowest drive though you will go too. Just avoid if you don’t want to be disappointed.

For a KFC that supposedly has gender neutral toilets, me and my friends went to use them & immediately got accused of going into the same cubicles by the shift manager, got confrontational when we said we hadn’t. Was just met by overall rudeness before we’d even decided to order and we therefore decided to go to a different KFC. Judging from the other many 1 star reviews here, don’t bother going here.

Been several times since opened and never had a good service. I rather go to ferryhill, it may be further but the staff their are nicer and actually provide a good service. They have closed down early number of occasions. One time they were closing an hour early and was told they will make mine the final order and will be called over to collect. Waiting in the car park for 30 minutes. Went over to check and turns out they forgot about my order, it was still in the fryer. They took it out and it was burnt. I asked if they would replace it and was told they weren't going to as it was still edible. May have been but wasn't the nicest. On two occasions they forgot part of my order. Staff always looks uninterested.

New, clean facilities. Located just off the A1/A167

Great food, ordered table service but they just shouted number out so had to collect, other than that it was OK.

I've just stood for over 30 mins waiting for a fillet burger... Slow isn't even in it, ha starving aswel because even after making a stink it still took 10 mins over... Never again here
