My recent visit sums why I haven't been for so long. Thought I would give it a go once again after being disappointed last time. No change unfortunately. 100% worst takeaway value for money. Food disgusting, cold , soggy chips , tasteless. Truly utterly awful!!!! Very expensive for the rubbish you recieve. Honestly. NEVER AGAIN

Wow. I am shocked and surprised at the negative reviews below me! I have now been here twice recently and have waited to visit here again, so I knew that the first wasn't a fluke! I can honestly say I am beyond happy with my experiences. Truly the best fast food experience I've had in a very very long time and I will be returning. The SPEED of the drive through, both times, were unbelievable- received my order within probably about 30 seconds- wow. The food was still hot even after a drive and everything tasted delicious. Not to mention the brilliant service and smile/friendly employees at the drive through (all staff great on both occasions.) I felt the need to write an amazing review because I know how easy it is to be put off by others and I can honestly say I've been thoroughly impressed twice now. Thank you.

This KFC is without doubt the worst I have ever experienced. A disgrace to the brand. The franchise should be withdrawn by the parent company. The chicken was over cooked, seemingly hours earlier, and coated in a horrible greasy mush. The fries looked like they had died weeks ago - they resembled dead mans fingers - limp and were hardly warm. The toilets were filthy, a true health hazard. The floor felt like it had been coated in cooking oil - was slippery and slimy. Needs an inspection from the HSE.

Poor quality. Asked for black coffee got white. Asked for four hot wings got two. The Fillet Burger meal has little or no lettuce. The large fries were more small fries. Charge just over twelve quid for this rubbish, Won't ever be going back to KFC anywhere. Fish and chips for me in the future.

Now, we know KFC is the lowest common denominator when it comes to fast food. We hadn't been here for some time and hoped it might have improved. A busy lunchtime and the "wheels had come off" We were there for just over an hour and not once did we see tables getting wiped down, we had to do our own with tissues. The man calling out the order numbers for collection had very poor pronounciation of English, leaving customers confused. The front of house staff were having to shout orders over the waiting food in the small hatches. Food was ok although not hot. Health hazard came to mind.

Don’t have Kentucky very often but usually ok from here. Very disappointing tonight as ordered a family feast of 10 pieces of chicken. 6 of the pieces were small drumsticks that were overcooked. Tried to phone but no one answering. The place is empty so no excuse.

This KFC restaurant lacks everything including the basics. It fails on ordering with no till receipts or table flags. It fails on presentation with apathetic staff and empty condiments. Above all else it fails on food quality with cold fries and lacklustre chicken.

Why bother with device like this? Every time we come here, in the restaurant, drive through or order via Uber the service is bad and every single time we pay through the nose and only end up with half an order. Just don’t bother with this place. Today is the last time for us. Rubbish was piled up on tables, literally piled up and around the top of the bins, service attitude bad, 13 hot wings and 4 chicken strips and gravy forgotten from our order and our bottle of Pepsi nearly taken by someone else. AWFUL

A meal was missing from our order yet again. My husband went back to get our daughter's missing meal leaving his to go cold. There was no apology for the missing item and went my husband said his food was going cold he was told if he wanted a replacement he would have to go back home again to collect it. Using the drive through we have had at least 4 orders incomplete. We went in and ordered this meal from the counter.

Not everyone likes fast food, but if you do, you want somewhere that cooks the food well and is good with their service. This KFC has got a great team of pleasant and helpful staff, and the food was as we liked it - except for the chips, which are now thick and not so tasty, but that's KFC franchise-wise policy, so nothing they can do about that.

Hot wings overcooked, coating too thick,chicken tough, fries very soggy. Service appalling - staff standing around, laugh and joke often ignoring customers. Car park full of KFC food and litter. There is no consistency of food quality in this outlet. The bad experiences are now outweighing the good visits to this outlet. On various occasions have got an order home to find it is incorrect.

Have been here twice recently and I don’t think I will bother going back. First time a few weeks ago ordered a big daddy box meal and they forgot to give me the drink, just handed me a bag after calling out my number. Didn’t realise it was missing till I got home. Second visit ordered three piece chicken box meal with beans and sat inside. Disappointed with chicken, one piece was thigh and the two other pieces were drumsticks! At other KFC’s you normally get a decent breast pice a drumstick and thigh etc. Plus the drumsticks were quite crispy. Not up to KFC standards I’m afraid. Next time I will be using Parkstone KFC that always seems good.

Don't risk the drive-thru at this location, they're unable to remember what they've loaded into the bags so there's a good chance you'll drive off without some of the items you've paid for.When it's a 15 minute drive home you're not likely to return to pick up the missing items in a family bucket, so you have to just put up with it and share out what you do get. No good however when you have one fussy kid that will only eat boneless and those are the items they missed out. Chips and coleslaw & tears for him then!You would think that a quick email to KFC customer services would see this resolved though wouldn't you. I imagine it's not an uncommon issue and they're probably quite good at making it better right? After all, Yum! Restaurants are big believers in customer-mania and delighting their customers, right? WRONG!Three weeks after the issue occurred, a letter arrives expressing their apologies for the poor service. It included a voucher for "3x single chicken wings" which was complimentary, if of course i wanted to do the 30 minute round trip in the car to their restaurant, which would cost me more than the product they offered with "compliments". It did not occur to them that this was not even a replacement of the missing product which i had paid for, nor that it did not match or exceed the value of the product i had paid for that they did not supply, nor that you would not go to one of their sites to simply order this tiny snack item. In trying to use it i would clearly end up having to spend an additional £15 or so getting a treat for the whole family!!They are clearly either clueless, or deliberately using poor service and paltry offers to try and get customers back to spend more.Regardless, I find the approach insulting to loyal customers whatever the intention. The voucher is in the bin and KFC is off the menu for occasional family treats from now on.Sad to see what they've become, a brand out of touch with their customer base that will no doubt only listen when customers vote with their feet & their wallets.

Where to start........I guess at the drive thru entrance , never been brave enough to go inside!! So you get in the lane and queue and queue.......and queue..whoever designed the layout for the drive thru had no idea and same goes for Mcdump too. They seem to think we are all speed readers as the proper menu is situated at the far end of the drive thru entry lane....once you make there the order taker pounces leaving you to hurry through the menu. Surely as you have to queue 99% of the time it would be better to have a large display on the wall of the restaurant side so you can chose as you queue and actually be able to read it properly. Anyway thats the first groan. You manage to order and depending on which way the wind is blowing you stop at the bread roll and coke window to pay if theres space for someone to stand there. Failing that you go to the collection window where a happy smiling face (NOT!!!) is waiting to greet you and take your money. I will digress slightly....On the few occasions I have been here the standards of hygene have been abysmal. On one occasion I arrived athe bread roll and window to be greeted by a guy dressed in his kfc uniform of which quite frankly ive seen cleaner toilets. His fleece jacket was stained with sauce of somekind and his trousers must have had a row with chicken flour coating. Well he was only taking money so not too near food. Moving down to pay a miserable po faced non british person passed the drinks out. I noticed the guy boxing the chicken popcorn filling boxes, as he was filling them some dropped on the worktop, he had a quick look around and stuffed them in the next box he was filling. I only ordered a chicken burger meal for my daughter and a zinger for me. The chicken is always like an oil slick greasy and on occasion the bones have still been red and not cooked fully. So I complained to KFC about these things and of course NO REPLY came the answer so I reported them to Poole Environmental health. No idea what happened after that. Unless you are desperately craving this or very hungry I would avoid it in case you get unwanted guests in your digestive system.

As a regular visitor of KFC, I was bitterly disappointed at the lack of customer service, and then when I had to make a complaint the man who seemed to be the duty manager (certainly the one who had placed the chicken in the box) was incredibly rude and wouldn't let me speak! His dismissive approach left me feeling more angry than when I had originally gone to make my complaint!! Whilst it is a fast food establishment that doesn't mean you shouldn't look after your customers!!! Dear Franchisee please address your staffing issues asap!!!!!!!!

I can't help thinking that this place has gone downhill, nearly as much as the Ferndown branch which is terrible.Perhaps I am getting less tolerant, but the chicken ranged from dry and chewy to dripping in oil. Not once in the hour that we were there did I see any staff wiping the tables down. KFC seems to be "you get what you pay for" and consistency and cleanliness has gone out of the window. Like I said nearly as bad as their Ferndown branch. We are not minded to go to KFC again until they clean up their act

Where to start ?Staff struggle to speak English - even the English ones !It looked nothing like the pictures. They forgot to put bacon in. It might have been so thin I couldn't see it.I wouldn't go again, but the wife likes KFC.

Visited this establishment for lunch yesterday. We were served by a miserable looking man who spoke very poor English. Eventually got the food we ordered which was ok but not very warm.

It was the first time we visited KFC. It was on a Saturday after lunchtime, so the branch was quiet.The serving of food was efficient and the food was hot. Staff was quite quick in cleaning the tables after customers had left. Though few pieces of rubbish on the floor weren’t swept.

Food was nice but place itself was a bit dirty. Bins not emptied for what seemed all day and floor not swept not even that busy either so had time to do it. Staff who took order were a little rude when asking about meal options

Drive through is great. Not had a bad meal yet. However, it is messy late at night and food containers, bags and mess is all over car park.

This KFC is a very good place to eat, unfortunately they seem to have problems keeping the floor clean sometimes. I have visited here a few times and at times have found the bins full and floor dirty. The last time I visited they were advertising for more staff which hopefully will resolve this problem. This KFC is far better than the nearby one at Tower Park. I will visit again definitely.

Right ... If you insist in employing the number system (like argos) for peoples orders then call out the number instead of trying to retort what's in the box/bag..... It's not rocket science people! I presume that's why you implemented the number system to remove the chance of any mongnus.

Customer care could be a lot better. Also as mentioned in a previous review this place has a rat problem. I was sitting in the car park with a friend, with the car doors open, when a huge rat came running out of the bushes, heading straight towards us. There was also a dead one quite close by. The quality of the food could also be improved as it isn't always that hot.

A bit more customer care is needed was given the wrong order though I should of checked but then they should know what they are doing also a pleasant manner would help not some surly person at the drive through

We asked what time they close and was told 11, this was at 10:40 we ordered our food and sat down and started eating, we was told we had to leave and couldn't eat in as there licence dose not allow it. When we argued the manager told us no they where open till 11, a member of stall informed the manager about the licence, we argued that we had checked before ordering and now wanted our money back. We left with half eaten food and no refund but told to contact head office. This is terrible service...

For fast food KFC is my restaurant of choice so was pleased when one was opened near to our home but this branch is a real disappointment.First time items missed from order plus undercooked chicken. KFC insisted not possible for them to miss items and that their processes did not allow chicken to be undercooked. Put the mistakes down to a combination of opening nerves and poor customer service.Went for a second visit. Same problem,missing items and undercooked food. Complained to KFC. Got what appeared to be a standard reply,blaming me for not bringing items back (we had been drinking wine so not safe to drive back to store),stating that their processes meant chicken could not be undercooked and they had been approved by "Woking Council". Not sure what Woking council had to do with a restaurant in Poole. Clearly the KFC motto is that the customer is always wrong.Whilst waiting in the car park I noticed some movement by the side of our car and realised it was a rat. Counted eight of them in the end and my son said there were more in the bin. Last time I saw this many rats near a restaurant I was in a third world country. Complaint to KFC. Received no reply. I think they should be aware of how offputting it is to see such a large quantity of rats in the vicinity of their restaurant. Spoke to the council who told me that it was the landlords responsibility to control the rats.KFC have shown a couldn't care less attitude to me at this store. I will not use this location again. Processes or not the chicken I got was undercooked and possibly a risk to my health.

Been here 5 times and everytime i get home my order is wrong or theres missing food ,i brought this up on my sixth visit and was told in no uncertain term by the young girl on the counter that i was wrong and her staff would never get things wrong,ive found the whole experience dreadful and the staff unhelpful and rude i have asked other people there views on this kfc and they all are bad,i mean how hard can it be to put chicken in a box.........my suggestion is go to tower park never had issues there in years and friendly staff which dont call you a liar.....

I would have even Rated the service as TERRIBLE if it was based on my visit on Tuesday 10th. March at 4.00pm alone, but the service the week before was very good, the female member of staff was Very politre, Friendly & efficient... She suggested that I can use the drive through next timee for a Take away, So the following week, I did use the drve throgh for the first and didn't notice the 'Order Point' as I drove to the service window.When I tried to place my order, I was arrogantly told to "Go all Around again" by a male member of staff, this was a quit time of the day and he could have taken my order and correct me for next time. What happened to good old customer service instead of Robotics.

Just order food, which was over £40... For this pleasure I had 2 hairs in my burger... Just eat thinks that this doesn't deserve a refund of the burger I didn't eat... That's fine... I won't use Just Eat or 5 guys again 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

While working away, took a chance on Deliveroo with these. Totally lucked out, it was awesome. Will be using these guys every time I’m down going forward.
