KFC Skegness - Pier Field in East Lindsey

What are they coating the chicken with ,its not the original coating it's terrible, it tastes like the stuff they now put on the chips which is also terrible, we don't want spicy curry flavours on everything ,worst kfc I have visited

How can I describe it ordered off the app arrived at the drive thru which said it was open on the app to having a response can you come in store please drive thru closed. I went in the store and they said can you order off the screens please I said I’ve ordered off the app I don’t know how to change this. They had my phone off me and put collection inside store and it failed then they put eat in and it took my payment and blanked my screen. They said they can not do anything but order it again and kfc will refund in couple of days. The lad behind the till said it happened to him also and for me to order again and due to this I ended up with no food money taken from my balance in my bank and one unhappy wife and kids. Thank you for this kfc I have messaged you and I’m waiting for a reply. I does not give the option for 0 stars absolutely shocking

Well done to the young lady in charge Sunday evening, they where short staffed and over worked . Shame on the people who verbally abused the staff or just drove away shouting profanities. A little understanding and patience goes a long way . The staff definitely deserve a pay rise just for putting up with ignorant customers .well done for staying open.

KFC with no gravy. Waited 30 minutes for the food, the worst I've ever had from a KFC. This place needs shutting down; understaffed

Really poor customer service can't recommend and won't be using again. Had problems every time we've used

The food I ordered was terrible I ended up throwing it in the bin I will never have a kfc in skegness again

They wouldn’t take the order at the counter so had to use the kiosk It didn’t give a receipt so I got huffs a puffs as they had to print me one The order was wrong, one meal I wanted as large had gone through as regular so I asked if it could be changed, she said nothing she could do about it What a load of rubbish Don’t use this branch, so unhelpful

Burger tasted like it had been stood for a few hours. It definitely wasn't fresh. We ordered 2 meals and took a bit of time to work out what belonged to who. Milkshake was mostly ice and not ice-cream. Chips were minimal. All food was stone cold by the time we got it home (10-15 min drive). Will stick to Spalding. Disappointing. Would've ate there but it was cold inside. The only good thing out of it all was the decent gravy 👌

Appalling! I ordered on the KFC app, no problems at all. After 10 minutes seeing my order number ready on the screen, the woman in charge says there's a problem because they didn't have enough chicken! And made it out to be my fault because I ordered on the app rather than in the restaurant itself, she would've told me what was available & what wasn't. How the hell was I supposed to know that! It's always somebody else's fault isn't it! 🤬 Ridiculous!!! I've now got to go through the process of claiming a refund, because the order was processed in the app, even though I didn't actually get anything. They gave me a number to call but it's just a voice saying do it all online! Bloody joke! 🤬 KFC Skegness - sort yourselves out!

Chicken coating over cooked bits hard chicken not even hot . Chips just warm . Waste of money . Did not enjoy kfc like I nor Malloy do worst yet

Food was good ,had to wait along time to be served at the counter.food took 25 minutes to cook and served. Toilets were clean .

Service is appalling. Every time you visit this place you will wait over 30mins for your food. The staff are a joke.

Absolutely disgusting my feetbwere sticking to the floor all the tables were a mess and just plain right lazy there staff

Don’t bother ordering here don’t have half the items that you order. If they can’t mange in the winter god help them when the Skegness Holiday season starts and it’s packed

Automatic screens to order a bit vague you can't order exactly what you want service was friendly but the kfc model isn't brilliant you do t k ow what you are getting untol it's handed to you it's a chicken lottery I like the coating but would be good to get the piece of chicken you prefer

I had came here with my best friend hoping to enjoy a tasty meal. The waiting time was atrocious and when i was trying to eat my dry, over-cooked, hard food, this large man was sat beside us and did a massive burp. We were in disgust we were gagging and large green smelly smoking cloud came wafting over us. AWFUL

Always great food, good service and food hot, unlike other well known takeaways where the food is often cool.

Stood waiting for someone to take my order staff are pre occupied with there just eat orders had to phone to place an order while at the checkout after 20/25 minutes order was placed 10 minutes for meal to be prepared minus the drinks I had to interrupted staff to establish where our bottle of water was then I was presented with flavour less 7up and a large pepsi that was the previous ladys order. On a positive note after the poor service and the and cold taste less beverage the meals where both nice Update poor response from kfc no need in hoping our next visit is a better experience it is apparent this particular branch needs much improvement I would personally start with the management and staff

Food has dropped in standard and lot smaller peices of chicken and young staff very unprofessional handling hair and not washing their hands long wait seemed the blind leading the blind

I recently visited the KFC in Skegness, and it was hands down one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. First off, we decided to sit in, thinking we'd get our meal promptly. Unfortunately, it took an agonizing 30 minutes just to receive our order. For a fast-food restaurant, this wait time is completely unacceptable. When we finally got our food, we thought the worst was behind us, but we were sorely mistaken. The state of the restaurant was shocking. The toilets were absolutely disgusting—nappy bins were overflowing, and it seemed like they hadn't been cleaned in ages. The bins in the store were also overflowing with trash, and the entire place was messy and unkempt. It was clear that cleanliness is not a priority at this location. To make matters worse, the staff, including someone named Abbie, were incredibly rude and unhelpful. When we needed assistance, they simply ignored us, pretending like we weren't even there. None of the other staff members were wearing name tags, but they were just as unpleasant—rude, standoffish, and clearly uninterested in providing any sort of customer service. Overall, this experience was a complete disaster from start to finish. I would strongly advise anyone thinking about eating here to reconsider. There are plenty of other places in Skegness where you can get a meal without the dreadful service and filthy environment we endured. I won't be returning to this KFC ever again. The service is as terrible, the “restaurant” was so unhygienic - reallt surprised their hygiene rating was a 5*. Clearly just for show. This is a FRANCHISE owned by someone with initials DT - they also own another kfc in Grantham (Harlaxton road) and the reviews and outcomes are also the same here… no wonder - poor management. If you have great hygiene standards, you would have someone emptying the bins as and when needed and doing a routine check every 1-2 hours to keep on top of it Don’t eat here.

Cold, hard and over cooked chicken served in a dirty environment with food all over the floor. Full/overflowing clearing station bins. Waited ages for the food, when we eventually got our order it was just shoved at us. The seating area was a freezing temperature too. All in all, this was the worst dining experience we’ve suffered for many a year, everything was simply awful 🫣😔

Very very slow. Resturant very messy. Needed tables cleaned bins overflowing

Chicken not cooked properly and we complain about it spent £20 got £9.99 back yuk yuk

They gave me raw chicken. Someone was drunk today 🙄

Ordered a delivery half the food didn’t turn up after being on hold for 45 minutes got told they was nothing they could do will never order from them again and would advise others not to

Something is very wrong here. Senior Management need to take a look at their business practices. They close at 11.30pm on a Friday, just been in and ordered a desert and coffee after paying I am told we don't have any hot drinks you can switch to fizzy or get refund. I asked why and was told the machine takes ages to clean, it does not take 40 minutes plus the one in wetherspoons is similar and takes 5-6 mins, who knows when they turned it off it could have been 8pm! A chap came in after me to order some food and was told its a 45 minute wait for food.. in a fast food restaurant, wtf! . . This was done solely to put him off ordering as the staff smirked at each other. They had cleared up, no food was ready, ovens switched off and cleaned with chairs on tables... they may as well of had their coats on and turned the lights off. This is very poor, if you state you are open until 11.30 then you should offer the same choice as the rest of the day until closure, then clean up and rinse coffee machines etc once the door is locked, it's part of the hospitality trade I'm afraid yes you will not leave until 40 minutes after closing perhaps, but that's part of your job, if you don't like it change profession. the customer should come first at all times and I'd hope someone higher up reads this and looks at your takings for the last hour of the day, and checks cctv to see just how much custom you are turning away at this branch with your tactics to get home ASAP.

Forgot half our order took so long to arrive aswell and only one person was on the cashier

Messed up my order missing 8 hot wings, when I called them I was given the don't get rude treatment for asking for my money back. Chips have always been soggy , someone needs to help this site hire more staff they always seem low on staff or food. And probably some better managers, someone who pushes more.

Fast service clean and tidy just becoming super expensive now for takeaway

After waiting in a que at the drive through for over 10 minutes with 1 car in front of me I was asked at the speaker to park up and come in to order delaying our service further. Unfortunately this is not the first time the service has been terrible at this restaurant. I have had similar experiences several times before and have given them the benefit of the doubt to many times now I won't be using this restaurant again. Do not recommend.

Disgusting cold food and rude staff. Shame you can't give negative stars. £45 WASTED.

If you love kfc like me I would avoid skegness branch long long wait for the wrong meal sad thing is its always the same after several optimistic visits

Food was nice service was great but the waiting time was daft and there wasn't anyone else there

I visited kfc in Skegness 22 th November 2024 for our dinner and the food was not nice and very greasy and we paid £4 for 2 latte you bet it would be for a full cup but it was half full cup

I was a bit apprehensive after reading other reviews, but new to the area and wanted a KFC. It was early evening, the service was quick and polite, restaurant is very clean and the chicken burgers are probably the best we have had from a KFC. Everything was very fresh and tasty. Chips were warm by the time I got back but that was expected. All in all, a very pleasant experience and I will be back.

Took 1 hour 20 minutes to get food. The 2 staff serving was rushing round sorting uber eats and delivery order's first instead of looking after the 30 or so customer's that had paid and waiting for there order's. ( 1 customer only ordered a coffee that took 35 mins). Yes it's out of season for coastal towns but 2 serving 1 cooking and another walking round like he was frightened to do anything. Also asked for owner / franchise operators number and was refused so will contact kfc head office instead.

How does a KFC not have gravy it’s the main reason to got here

Never really had bad bad service here

Went in for tea before a show at the Embassy. Quick service. Food great. Clean and tidy. Not very busy. Would go again.

First things first - the chicken was extremely greasy & dripping in fat. We had to get 6 paper towels to place the chicken on so it soaked up the hot fat. On the positive side it was very hot. Not due to the place being overly busy . The chips were a bit wrinkled & not fresh .. but luckily it was a paltry portion . Very small portion for a person. Ok for a toddler. Didn't even fill the paper chip-bag/holder the 'fries' get served in. Despite 'ordering in', the food was served in a paper bag which filled up in the bottom with the fat from the chicken. No tray. No paper plate. No serviettes. Not asked if I wanted a straw for my drink, serviette, mayo, ketchup .. nothing. The staff seemed sulky + unhappy. Free Mayo & Ketchup kept behind the counter , hidden from view. Had to ask for them .. No serviettes included. Chicken this fatty/greasy definitely needs wet wipes - which I believe are no longer done at KFC. Cleaner was keeping the place clean though. Toilets were lovely. Cannot recommend for food or drink.

Poor experience slow to get food waited 5-10 mins bits of order ready then waiting on remainder and still didn't get what was ordered swapped beans for corn but got beans in order seemed to have no urgency in getting orders out

If I could give no stars I would. 25 minute wait for food. When it finally arrived it was awful. Lukewarm soggy overseasoned chips. My zinger burger was drowning in spicy mayonnaise so the bread was soggy, the coating to the burger was soggy. Won't be going back.

The food was cold, yes they changed it, but that wasn't hot. The drink was awful. You couldn't drink it. A few people complained, but they would not remove it from the menu. It really was awful 😖

The staff at this restaurant are shocking. Never smiling, slow, looking miserable. No attention at all. The restaurant wasn't even busy at that time and the place was a mess. Tables left to clean, the floor all dirty too and once again no sympathy at all from the staff. The food was not bad but we waited 20 minutes to be served and with stuff missing. Never again.

You carnt beat a kfc. Friendly staff, quick service

Chicken was tasty and the fries were nice and hot.

I ordered a large chicken popcorn got a small box and they call it large are you serious!! Wasted 5 pounds on this nonsense!!

Just came to this KFC 2 get summit 2 eat Ordered Mighty bucket Then when we get round 2 the next window & we paid 4 it Then the woman says 2 us we will have 2 wait 20 mins 4 the chicken 2 get “gutted” when clearly chicken comes in bits already Chickens don’t get slaughtered in KFC do they Don’t think so It put us right off our dinner But gladly they gave us a refund which is good I guess But the service is absolutely dreadful I must say Everyone avoid this place at all costs Bloody fuming 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Been here plenty of times & usually praise the staff & food. Today I got cold & soggy chips, and for the 2pieces of chicken meal I was given 2 little fatty drumsticks. When I said I’m normally served a piece of breast and a thigh/drumstick I was rudely told ‘you get what you’re given’ as though I was Oliver Twist in the workhouse. Rip off & rude. It wasn’t as though it was busy either, they could have sorted it.

Atmosphere was low. Because it was lunchtime. And midweek and close of season.

Upon recieving our food, our chips were cold and then opened our drink lid, which I tend to do all fast food restaurants, only to find a bug in it the entire time! It completely put me off my food and drink. I told staff, just got a shoulder shrugged and no offers for a drink replacement or refund! Very upset. KFC you’ve let me down.

Disgusting behavior of the staff very rude and offensive and disrespectful when making a query I will never but KFC but they won't care

Unclean and unhelpful staff.. one of the worse KFC I've ever been too..

Chips undercooked. If the chicken was any 'Greasier' John Travolta and Olivia Newton John would be in it! Not at all impressed.

Went here out if desperation as everywhere else was closed. Food was cold and portion size ridiculously small.

We were waiting almost a whole hour for our order. We initially waited 30min before asking where our order was, she then said nothing and went to the back. Then after 5 minutes she came back and said that our order was deleted and that someone was making an order in the back. Finally, 10 minutes after we got our order however 6 fries and chicken popcorn was missing. We told her, and she said it won’t be a minute and then processed to wait 15minutes until we asked again. After a couple minutes we finally got our missing items. There was no apology given and I knew that there was other people waiting similar times to us. It was literally a disaster, some people couldn’t get their receipts from the kiosk, there was no mash or gravy, and staff were being very rude. Never go here!

Slow service. No Atmosphere. I was going to comment on the food, but calling it food would mean telling porkies. The Colonel would turn in his grave., rather than eat here. His special recipe coating fell off the chicken, actually I think it was trying to commit suicide. I think I might know what part of the secret ingredient is. Cherry Blossom boot polish, judging by the colour. The fries had definitely been fried, I just am not sure I could name which century. Maybe I will try Antiques Roadshow for an estimate. Just to say, however, I had a fabulous meal. Waste not, want not. I ate the serviettes.

Went about 5.30 expected it to be busy but 40 minute wait for food was taking it a bit to far. The chicken pieces were so overcooked they were nearly black and the chips so salty I had to get an extra drink

Politely requested some tap water for our dogs, having just spent £35, told we couldn't have tap water would need to buy a bottle. Rude attitude from member of staff won't use a KFC again

Coke watery and no fizz. Complained and was told machine was not working correctly. I asked why they were still using it , no answer. They did exchange drinks but only for still drinks. Chicken 🐔 was usual KFC quality.

Fries were disgusting and yes I think forgot to serve me the whole serving . Definitely been to countless kfc’s .. the fries quantity does not add up . Pathetic

Food was great but service was just far too slow. Waited 35 minutes for 2 mini fillet burgers. Staff were very friendly but it was absolute chaos.

9.25 on a Sunday night and they are virtually sold out of everything to eat. Incompetent ordering comes into mind, knowing that is was PRIDE weekend. I will NEVER use this one EVER again.

We went there to have FAST food, but it wasn't so fast. We've been waiting over an hour for food, and when finally had it, there were missing items from the order. I get it it was lunchtime when we were there, but this place can't coope with lots of orders. They weren't prepared for so many people, but they should - it's FAST food.

Just had an order delivered. horrible nasty cold extremely greasy and massively over priced for the absolute awful quality of the food. this store should be shut down we live here and used to order often but never and never will we use skegness KFC again.and that's the advice we.will.pass on to holiday makers absolutely disgusted

definitely not fast food. it takes forever!! food were not hot

Drive through Party bucket. 6 Fries, Popcorn chicken, 8 hot wings all missing when got back to Chapel st. Leonards. Extra mash? Refused dip at collection window, told to drive round and order again. Avoid!

Absolutely vile customer service. Went in for something nice and easy while on holiday and was ignored (we didn't see the sign saying order at kiosks because it was to the side) then after we ordered a friend of Faith came in and she served them instantly with a lovely smile. After chatting to other customers while they were waiting the agreed the customer service was absolutely abysmal. We got greeted with a "yeah" when we paid for out food.

Very good indeed and enjoying the food

Mouldy lettuce in my so called tower burger ... tiny piece of chicken, very poor, used to enjoy KFC 🍗

The staffs are rood and they talk to people like rubbish and I was waiting to get served and it taken 10 minutes then they said that I have yo use the mechan so I did then I went up on payed and I was waiting there foe couple on minutes then one of the staff served me and talked to me like rubbish

Used the drive through on Tuesday.Ordered food at the 1st Window..proceeded to wait at second window..the order was a regular Popcorn Chicken for our Son,who is Autistic and we were leaving Skegness to return home. Car in front was waiting at Window 2..another Irrate customer waiting at tge window whilst on foot.Who had to retirn his order 3 times whilst we were waiting. Well 35 mins later we were still waiting for our order..no apologies from anyone at KFC at all..could not get out of the driveway as car in front was next to be served. By this time my Son was having a meltdown and we just wanted to leave. I got out of my Car went to.the Wimdow and asked for the Manager.Who I was told was at the back of the Shop doing "Something Admin Based" I told person at window to get the Manager and get an update and come Manage the problem. Then a woman came to the window who claimed to be a Manager..she was so rude and not even apologised for the extended delay.. I did tell her to do something and manage the problem,which am sure she would of known what was going on. She had now customers in carpark as well who had been waiting..another big lad was delivering orders to customers who were stating the orders were wrong for whatever reasons...this Manager was not helpful at all..she should of come out and helped but she was the worse case I have ever encountered..I explained that all I had ordered was popcorn chicken and if one has a child who is autistic and has meltdowns one would understand...it upset my Wife as well who was really sad by the service like I was.. By a sub standard service by an Extremely Sub Standard Employee who did not represent professionalism

I think Stevie Wonder would have better luck getting my order right

Honestly I understand it's a on the pier strip but the young person called faith behind the counter what an arrogant woman ! Calling me stupid slagging me off all because I missed my own number being shouting sorry I carnt hear everything now can I! Won't be going bk during my stay

Food took for ever 7 chips in a bag

Jesus. Best microwaved meal ive had in 3 hours. Good job i love my lettuce soggy and brown and drooping down the side of stale bread. I would feel guilty to give it to a homeless person. I can only apologise to Mr Sanders. Cheers skeggy kfc

Sunday 18th Aug Absolutely shocked by the service tonight. Myself and dozens of other customer left waiting 35 mins plus for orders placed at the self service. And then many of them to only find out food was missing. What was even worse was the 5 people at the checkout waiting to order and pay by cash. Only to be totally ignored. When I defended them asking why you haven't taken there order. The staff said we haven't got time. Yet spent 10 minutes arguing stating the reasons why they can't be served is it would take to long. Yet that 10 minutes arguing would have cleared the orders. The staff are totally the wrong type of people to work in that environment. No people skills and totally out there depth. Also rude and unhelpful. If that was my own businesses, id definitely would deal with this branch. My partner who has a youtube channel with 36k followers will be posting a review of this branch if there is no follow up to this review by the owner.

Restaurant a rubbish tip. Hot wimg burnt black and not even kfc hot wings

Really rude and a half hour wait just too get served disgusting how ignorant the staff was to the costumers I do want a full refund and expect this cause the wait and the discrarful customer service

Just bad, water dripping from the ceiling.

Very easy to navigate and receive order

Absolutely disgusting , no hash browns no beans girl behind counter with a face like a slapped *****! Takes an age for food to be served not even near closing time and not even busy ! Only came because kids were promised as a treat ! Second time we have ever visited and first time was as bad !!!! Height of summer six weeks hols NOT ACCEPTABLE!

Scamming customers by only giving them half of what they ordered. I received my drink filled only 2 inches from the top of the cup. When I complained how empty it was, the staff on the counter replied they’re told to do this. Compare this photo to what KFC advertise!

Took over 25 minutes for my order after I asked were it was ,chicken in the bucket was absolutely disgusting ,cold and full of fat avoid like the plague worst kfc I've ever been in

Says it’s open until 2am Friday and Saturday and it’s been closed by midnight! Take ur banner down falsely advertising!

Worse kfc I've ever had waited over 40 minutes for my food and very sub standard for kfc . Chicken was over cooked fried luke warm and lack of sides .. very disappointed

Hard to pick what was worse......restaurant filthy, food cold and stale, also the order was wrong, staff rude and uninterested when asked to put right......definitely one to avoid, buy food from one of the local food places

2 staff members serving at 10pm. Restaurant busy. Constantly arguing with customers when they confrunted staff about missing ordered items. I myself fell victim to this and the lady serving smirked at me and told me my bbq wrap was a twister. She snatched the reciept from my hands and wouldnt give it back. After arguing that i should have had 2 wraps, it took her colleague to tell her she was wrong before bringing us the correct item. Very rude staff. Unprofessional. Took 30 minuets for food to be ready and even then it was wrong. Kfc head office - this branch clearly needs retraining and staff. Quit being tight with the millions you make and hire more staff to take the burden off those already underpaid and overworked.

Arrived at the drive-through window at 1038pm with their closing time at 11 pm and got turned away. I said to the staff member that they don't close until 11 pm and simply had the window shut on me with no excuse. As a festival catering company CEO myself I hope this doesn't happen again. I would also like to add turning off the automatic doors at the front entrance and making paying customers leave through a fire exit shouldn't be on. If working in a busy fast food environment isn't for the staff members maybe they are in the wrong job and I wouldn't like a successful business to fail due to incompetent staff. My pregnant partner went inside to use the toliet while I was trying to pick up food round the drive though, she went to the toliets which where in horrific condition to find no toliet roll in the female and male toliet she approached a staff member to report this issue to find a cocky lady staff member who approached my pregnant wife and said can you move I need to get in there. There's still people waiting at 11:05pm for there order and people dieing in. This is not on

Half an hour wait to get our drive through order. Good luck if you're hungry

Went through the drive thru and ordered a 10 pc variety bucket and the woman in the window said there's a 30 minute wait on boned chicken' How does a chicken 'fast' food restaurant have a 30 minute wait on boned chicken absolutely vile won't be going there again

Ignored by the staff and manager. They made 1 order at a time and ignored everyone it was ridiculous, we all walked out. Embarrassing

Food lovely but the heat in there was really bad,Extremely hot.The air conditioning unit was off, and I asked if the door could be left open, which they advised it could not. I could not wait to leave

Had to wait for half an hour for our food. Didn't even get an apology

Terrible service, tables were filthy, and the floor had bin bags scattered about. Generally unclean and untidy

A very long wait,girl taking orders was very slow and not very happy. When we got our meal,my husband found a long piece of string on his chicken.

Fast service, food was perfect and it's very clean inside.

Food was absolutely disgusting . Over cooked , dry and tasteless

Only ate here because everything else was closed

Food was good and service great
