turned up at 21:45 and they closed the store when it says that they close at 22:00. Quite disappointing.

It's a Friday night and I'm hoping to enjoy a meal out. However I'm not sure what's going on in this KFC but it's not good. Staff being disciplined in front of customers, not in English. The atmosphere was tense. The staff behind the counter were not focused on taking orders. Instead, they were raising their voices at each other and several customers were staring at the commotion. Apart from that why is it so cold in the restaurant. I'm not comfortable eating my meal when me and others sat here shivering.

My workmate got served, and then the server walked off, leaving me standing there until I spoke up a few minutes later. My workmate was given the wrong order, it was changed for another wrong order. He gave up and got a refund. I eventually got served and had to wait ages. Are the portion sizes shrinking? Kentucky fried budgie....Chips were warm and soggy, asked for NO ice, got served ice.... No one working seemed to speak or understand English to a basic level. A complete disappointment. Went elsewhere as I was hungry after the 'starter' I had here. won't be going to KFC again, end of.....

Pathetic service always give wrong orders when we go through drive through for collection…Orders wraps from drive through but this 4th time I am receiving wrong order. It is very frustrating when we come home and check the order. Always issue of giving wrong orders. And when we call and complain manager argues on the call and went back to return the wrong still they were arguing we us . Very very disappointing

Went through drive thru, ordered meals to then come home and there was 2 kids burgers instead of 2 kids popcorn chicken meals... so had to drive back.. to get the correct meals AND a refund to compensate for having to drive back, correct their mistake and also come home to eat my food that is now cold. The manager was completely not apologetic nor understanding, got told by the woman that I hadn't been clear with my order even though she understood when I ordered as to what I said. Staff training by both team members and managers I'd a definite must. - complaint handling, reading orders back, politeness etc etc. Would get treated better in a pub establishment than a fast food restaurant. I got the correct meals but no refund - poorly dealt with. I suggest when people order here, speak slow and clearly, do their jobs I guess and read the order back and again do their jobs and triple check bag. See You Next Tuesday

We came to the drive through last night to order a 6 hot wings meal , with gravy on the side and 2 separate wings. The man serving us gave us our food and it was the wrong order, when we told him this is not what we ordered he decided to argue with us and then started to close the window in our face instead of helping us and giving us what we ordered. We asked for the manager and he said the manager was not there, so we spoke to his other colleague who simply gave us the right order in the end but charged us extra for it. The original man serving was disgraceful and absolutely rude. We would like to speak to the manager on this as I do remember the man's face and he wouldn't give us his name. We would like the manager to reply to this comment so that we can come back to discuss this matter as it was the worst and most rude customer service I could imagine and he charged us extra for his own mistake.

Wrong and arrogant attitude of staff- I ordered original chicken, they gave me two breast pieces and when I requested to replace with leg piece the lady stuff turned her back and told we don’t have leg and walked away. Two minutes after I saw her serving leg pieces to another customer, when I enquired, she said the leg pieces were just getting cooked. Then why couldn’t she answer “if you need leg pieces please wait for 2 minutes they are getting cooked” instead of walking away and telling they don’t have leg pieces?

We stopped at Moto Reading for a quick bite and I wanted something else than a burger from the usual sources. This was the first time for me to try out Chow and their katsu chicken was a pleasant surprise. They are not going to put high end restaurants out of business, but you get a healthier alternative to the burger places on their left and right. I would have preferred it with a large amount of veggies, but all in all it was a decent portion of a good curry with friendly service. They also sell sushi; that's for next time.

We've made a booking for dinner but when we got there the waitress said there is a private event going on so we had go out. She said there is signs all around the pub but when we checked again we didn't see anywhere "private event" there were signs for darts tournament but it doesn't say it's private event. It says "welcome" so we had to find another restaurant to dine. At least update your website when there is private events so people can't make booking..
