Best kfc in the area. Essex not known for fried chicken but this branch rivals the best in London. Not a great dine in experience but doesn’t matter as chicken is great

Kfc is delicious as always, but portions are ridiculously small for what you pay. Was quiet and we waited around 15 minutes for a wrap and boneless banquet.

The food was actually nice.. just a shame table service includes your tray of food being carried through the family toilet - if you don't get to the checkout quick enough and grab it yoursefl!! Not really hygienic is it...?

Not overly busy here for a Friday evening since it's a little out of the way of the main road, so there was no issue getting a table, staff are friendly and it's KFC, if you're reading this and aren't sure what to expect from a KFC A) I envy you having the first time experience and B) What's the rent situation like on a random cave to live in?

Great service from the drive through window, courteous and smiling, pity about the food quality, I chucked out the chicken thighs half way through. Fries were OK. I am hoping it was just on that day only that the chicken tasted off.

The worst takeaway ever had,turned up 10.50,waited behind car ,then when seen told only 3 minutes left till shut,then served me the dregs of what was left,fries totally inedible due to smothered in seasoning,twister only half filled,and mini fillet burgers,had no mayonnaise,and no lettuce for mini fillet wrap,absolutely disgraceful, will be sending pics to head office,based on the previous replies,I'm sure there standard reply wanting us to return,and will pass info on,well my answer is no chance I rather eat my toe nails than eat the crap you serve

I’ve ordered from these useless clowns twice in the space of a month (fat of me I know), both times multiple items have been missing from the delivery order! How hard is it to put some chips in a bag? I know it’s not the dream role, but after a 12 hour shift the most the college student could do is place some cold fries into my bag. Useless

As with all of the KFC franchises, there seems to be a policy of paying more and getting less. As someone who used to be a frequent visitor, there has been a definite change to smaller chicken portions and smaller portions of fries. With the new automated ordering system, it's almost impossible to specify which piece of chicken you prefer. My elderly father does not eat breast meat, so he refuses to go now. I recently ordered a ten piece family feast only to find it contained 4 drumsticks, 4 wings, 1 thigh, and 1 breast! Who gets all the premium pieces? This was not a feast! Their hot wings are tiny, maybe from a 'sparrow' sized bird. Their shift to this new policy is an insult to their loyal customers as the wings are, in general, a by-product. It is obvious that KFC purchase their chicken by weight and to increase their profit margins their customers are getting less. This is pure greed as they are owned by one of the largest food and drink companies in the world PepsiCo. Independent fried chicken shops, of which there are thousands, are more generous in their portion sizes. How can this be? KFC used to be our favourite fast food restaurant, definitely no longer. Like many who agree with us, we are 'voting' with our feet!

Encourages you to use the kiosk for the blue light discount to work, this NEVER WORKS and when I asked for the manager, he looked at me like dirt and did not want to help in any way. Other managers at different branches would offer some sort of gesture in place of the BLC 10% discount not working, whereas this one needs training on how to speak to people and learn to smile - majority of staff here seem hostile apart from a few. Chicken quite salty too, shame. Won't be returning

Went with wife as we were getting petrol over road. Food and service was ok. My complaint is the menu boards were all disgustingly dirty. It looked as if they were cleaned with a oily rag. I asked for them to be cleaned as we didnt want to touch them then handle our food. It seems covid has been forgotten along with the cleanliness regime that that created. I didnt see any sanitising stations in the place. It was quiet when we went ( mid morning) so no excuse for the surplus staff to not be cleaning these menu boards. Using paper towels rather than dirty clothes.

I came here to leave a review in the hopes that a manager for KFC might see this and change the way things are done and made. We have been coming here for years and actually drive out of the town to come here because it was the best KFC until today... I don't know why it was so hard to get our order right I can understand a mistake once but 4 times, was someone taking the piss or what. You need to employ people who are going to listen, learn and think about doing something with their own initiative. Your employing young inexperienced students who don't give a toss. 4 times to make a chicken zinger tower meal!! In the end we got a refund it was an absolute joke. Sort it out!!

Family owned with both mum & dad working the kitchen at busier times. Service has improved with the grumpy miserable chap who took orders having left. Gets very busy on Friday & Saturday Standard so allow plenty of time when you order, but usually a fast and efficient service. Standard English Chinese takeaway with typical menu, but all of these types of places cook to a formula. There are some gems in there. Don't be put off, though. This is an above average Chinese takeaway. The quality is consistently good, and portion sizes are generous. We enjoy the beef with chilli & blackbean. The char siu or bbq pork is particularly good one of the best I've had, & can recommend the sweet & sour mixed balls. The Thai curries are also good, fragrant with a kick! £15.00 minimum order value on cash orders. Delivery available. You would be pushed to find better in the district, recommended!

Today my sister and I took our stepfather to the Anchor for a Birthday lunch. We had to wait a long time for drinks and food, seemed very under staffed. My sister and I ordered the Chicken Milanese, this dish was horrible.. just chicken in breadcrumbs deep fried and the chips were greasy, we had to order mayonnaise as it was all so dry and overcooked!! It tasted like it had been cooked in old oil and I have had a delicate tummy since!! Our coffee was also old and stewed!! I won’t eat here again!
