Positive points: The staff was friendly, the bins did get emptied only because they were overflowing and stinking inside the restaurant, the floor was clean and the tables were also cleanish. The negatives: it closes before the time on the door. It closed at 9 pm when it clearly said it was open until 10 pm. We moved out about 9.15 pm because I asked as they were putting chairs on tables, if they were closed and was told "YES," to find out it was still open until 10 pm but the front door had been locked and they were not serving anyone else. The queue was all over the restaurant originally when we arrived, the staff were clueless as to what they were doing regarding the food orders. We waited a long time to get our order, it seemed to have got lost in translation and although we had a receipt one of the guys didn't even see the order go through. A real eye-opener, and when it arrived it was missing a drink and several sauces. I had to send my partner back to get them, he remembered the drink that he wasn't offered with the deal as the staff didn't seem to know it. They were out of Gravy and Beans, it was Corn on the cob and coleslaw, it was very disappointing. Won't be returning to this one unless they clean up their act, make sure they've got lots of everything and give us a voucher to return for a free meal! This isn't cricket and it isn't an English standard either, the standard has fallen and the restaurant has been let down by its area manager regarding support. They were not short-staffed for the time of day, just under-trained.

Terrible service, waited 30 minutes for fast food and no apology….blamed it on being busy …. And it really wasn’t! Only positive was that at least we didn’t see rats ( like one other recent review! )

I know it happens but I did not want to see huge rats running around while I sat eating my meal. £10 for three tiny bits of chicken, some lukewarm chips is very steep. Definitely need some pest control and staff seem very bored and unenthusiastic to be there. If it is for fast food I’d rather go down the road to the other fast food chain.

So my favourite fast food takeaway dinner…. The restaurant was clean enough and they even had a sign under the counter reminding staff to pull the counters out to clean behind them. Very good. Now just ask the lovely man serving to smile and say hello and maybe not open with “ eating in or takeaway”. Be great if all the food was in the bag when I got home and didn’t have to walk back and be challenged by the lovely man serving. Thanks. Food was great as always. Finger licking great.

When we came into the KFC there were no customers waiting. Came with my husband, my sister and her husband. We ordered separately as couples. Mine and my husband’s order was ready pretty quickly. However my sister, her husband and the two other sets of customers after her had to wait approximately 15 minutes for their order. Seemed excessive as they weren’t busy at all (like I say, we came into an empty restaurant). There was lots of rubbish on the tables and full bins. In my order, they forgot my husband’s BBQ sauce and my chips. In my sister’s order, they also forgot the BBQ sauce. It seems we weren’t the only ones as the order after my sister’s they forgot one of the 3 burgers they ordered. It was apparent that the guys serving in there were a lot more interested in playing their own music and messing around with each other rather than concentrating on doing their jobs. There was no level of urgency whatsoever. Very poor service.

Went in very cold in there and not that busy. Ordered on app. Went to toilet no loo roll in either women’s so had to get some from disabled. Women’s toilets had faecies on the toilets as well and left dirty. Tables and floor in place quite messy. Then when collecting the order they just called ‘collect order’ and not an order number so we had no idea wether it was ours or not. Then waited for the drink to be made. Then realised after there was no dips or salt so had to go back and ask for them. The staff were lovely though. Chicken very hot. The bbq bites were warm as they were left out for a while but other than that ok.

Very tiny portions. I was still hungry after 4 pieces of fried chicken, tiny portion of skin on fries. The level of attention to customers was poor although the staff tried to help me use the KFC App but we could not get the blue light discount voucher to appear. I will not return here. McDonalds is within a short distance as an alternative. Also very expensive for 4 small pieces of chicken plus small fries and a diet coke: £8.45 . I was very hungry so stopped to try it. Dissatisfied.

Started off great got served quick but I couldn’t help but see a bunch of lads hovering around the serving area speaking to a member of staff, seemed to be only chatting and not working, making the young lady do most of the work. I couldn’t help but hear swearing a slouching, I also heard him say that he didn’t want to do a family bucket for one of his friends and if his friend made him do it he would spit in it. This was very inappropriate and unprofessional and to top it off another member of staff had to come and remind him that he was working as I sat there whilst my food was ready.

With a six minute wait announced by the drive thru teller, opted instead to park up and purchase indoors. The polar opposite of fast food then glacially approached. The final illogical straw was finding that although you get a delivery number for the food, when it finally is ready for collection the server calls out what it actually is, rather than the number, so if everyone waiting has ordered the same product there is unsurprisingly a clusterfck of confusion. Nope. Not again.

As an American, this is a poor excuse for a KFC. I wished I had read the hygiene article on the web before we stopped in. I believe our visit was post the chicken shortage but when we walked up (no menu available, screens down) we were told we have 4 pieces of chicken. I thought that was it and they would close after us. This was at 1 PM however, as we were eating chicken and french fries (nothing else seems to have been available as it certainly wasn't offered), we did notice that more chicken was being served. Wished we had been told that ???????????. I would say the staff were marginal in performance/capability at best. The entire restaurant was a safety risk as the floor was slick/slippery due to moisture. It did not appear that the floor was recently mopped but that there is a moisture issue in the facility. Overall,I would also say the eating area was only fair as far as cleanliness. Trash cans were full.In summary, I hope we don't get sick on the 4 pieces of chicken we did have. This KFC needs corporate attention in my mind.

I used the drive through. I had to wait a long time at the window before making an order. Another long wait before getting my food. When I arrived home I realised the side order had been missed out. Then after biting into the burger, realised the bun was mouldy. This comes after the restaurant got a 2 star food standard rating and has said it’s made improvements. It doesn’t look like it has!

if you wanna wait 20 minutes for food then KFC is the place to be, drive thru was dead so we thought we would use it, card machine was faulty, cracked computer screen, dirty windows alongside the drive thru, put me off my food before having it! Extremely overpriced aswell! Was not very pleased...A couple weeks later I returned to KFC, just because I was driving past and was hungry, I decided to use the store instead, so I went in, dead again, I asked for the 8 piece boneless feast, £15!!!! I asked without sides as I wouldn't eat them, thinking I was doing the store a favour by saving their products! The woman refused and said I had to have them, she was very rude and I instantly felt unwelcome...the chicken was dry, as were the chips, the dips weren't fresh either, I now won't be returning

When this place first opened, it was staffed by the most lack-lustre managers who seemed unable to employ enough decent staff to run all their shifts. During this summer we paid this place a visit, fully expecting the same poor quality but to our surprise, not only was the food excellent, warm and served quickly, but the only remaining old staff were the best ones. Heather remains amazingly loyal and fully understands what good service should mean. We have since been in during a different shift; same result. We have even tried the drive-thru twice; same result. Well done to all involved.

I called in here on the way home on 2nd Sept. It was around 20:50.I stood in a queue with 2 people in front of me (both also waiting to have their order taken) whilst one employee completely ignored us and was serving ice creams to another customer. The 'restaurant' was not busy - there were probably about 3 or 4 people eating.I looked across at the food warmer and it was empty, so I figured that EVEN IF I got served anytime soon, I'd have a wait on my hands. There were at least three employees in the kitchen area, none of which came to the front to take orders.After about 10 minutes of being ignored, I gave up, mumbling (but in order to be heard) as I walked out. Only at this point did the ice cream server call somebody from the kitchen called Amelia "to come and serve the customer's please". I kept walking and I won't be going backI can't comment on the food (as I never got served) but judging by the other review's my digestive system probably had a lucky escape.The standard of KFC's seems to be declining rapidly in my opinion. I don't expect silver service or gourmet fare, but I do expect to be acknowledged and served in a reasonable period of time, particularly as this is supposed to be fast food!The Amesbury KFC is appalling and the Shaftesbury one is nothing to write home about either!

They are polite to your face and say no problem but I am sure when you order to take away , being so close to A303 they throw in anything they want thinking by the time you've left it's too late too turn back. I live near this kfc but will never be returning . Just check your food before you drive off!! Or even better go to mcdonalds 10 minutes down the road

Not much good to say, the front door was stuck so had to enter through a fire door which had to be propped open even though it was freezing. One staff member was "mopping" the floor by sloshing water over it until it was a skating rink. Half the menu was unavailable due to various machines being broken. It was slow, cold and miserable.

We ordered a milkshake and when our drink arrived, it was something totally different and when we asked, we were told they don't do milkshake. We were missing all the extras such as hand wipes and salt and did not get any napkins at all. Convenient for a speedy snack but not much else to recommend it.

If you don't mind eating something you haven't even ordered or waiting 45minutes for so called FAST FOOD then go ahead and visit!! My advice, eat at the wagtail just next door to it!! Much better grub at a similar price!!

Well i have reviewed this place before but feel the need to express my current experience of this restaurant.The last order i had from them the drive through screen is naff can hardly see it sometimes, they can't hear you properly.Get to window to pay and wait for them to get to you, they finally open the window and tell you the amount that you need to pay. Ok so far then you pay only to be told 10 minute wait ok so not too bad so go to a parking space and wait and wait and wait goes past 10 minutes it then becomes 20 minutes or more, finally food comes out, ok so we drive home which is not far only to open the boxes to find all i can say is something that looks like its thrown together quickly. The wraps well they don't look like anyone put any thought into making them and the Lunch box meal with extra large fries are never a portion for extra large. We don't go back down because it is not worth the fuel money or my time but honestly how they are still going i have no idea.I don't go inside as i dread to think what service you would get there.This was a first one of its kind when opened now its gone so far down hill it must break the KFC managers heart looking at how bad this one is now.

We do not normally have take away type meals, but we tried this meal in a box. The chicken was terrible and had a strange smell about it, we did not finish the meal and would not frequent this place in the future

Went in for tea this evening before a 5pm appointment in town & my little girl who's 6 fell off the stool and hurt her arm, I asked for a cold cloth to help the pain, all staff were very helpful and so nice, think they need to be praised where praise is due, thankyou so much, oh and the food was great too :)

all the usual facilities and menu and very helpful staff, but the food was overcooked, if I had eaten in the restaurant I would have asked for exchange but I had taken it back to my hotel.

I joined a queue of 4 people in a KFC that only had 3 people at the tables eating, on a very quiet Monday evening - there was 1 'uninterested' female serving, & on eventually getting to the front of the queue & being served she advised me that there would be a 25 minute wait for the food! .... I left & went elsewhere.

All the bins in the car park were over flowing.The toilets smelled of fish.Not a single table was clean inside the restaurant and it was too cold to sit outside.The chicken was dry and chewy. The final straw that made me be bothered to write a review was that I decided to take my side order home with me. I thought the tub of coleslaw would go nicely with a salad. Reading the label.on my way home however I noticed the best before date. Let's just say it's not current. I will never go back there. They should be shut down.

Because this KFC is off the beaten track in terms of population, it's quieter than many in other built up areas. The food is better for it (freshly cooked) but the lack of staff could well be telling in holiday times.

This KFC seems to bee quite new and is not very busy hence the food seems to be cooked to order rather than being held in readiness which makes the service a little slower than normal we were 5 minutes but when the meal arrives it was piping hot and tasted good.The KFC is standard in respect of menu, fittings etc and like all of the chain it provides a good place to stop for a cheap but reliable snack.As it is just off the A303 at the Wincanton turnoff it would be a good place to stop on the London-West Country route as it is much cheaper than service areas and has plenty of free parking/ toilets etc. A bonus is the free wifi.

KFC is KFC foodwise, so you're looking for a bit of service and you get none here.The staff -which number quite a few - seem to care not a jot as to how long they keep you waiting and you never receive an apology.I have to work in Wincanton quite a bit and I now avoid this place like the plague and suggest that everyone else does too.

Been here a few times to be kept waiting in the car park for food. This time has taken the biscuit!In the drive thru, to be told they dont have fillets for an hour as they are defrosting. Firstly, thought they were meant to be fresh!And secondly, we were then left waiting in the q of traffic in the drive thru for nothing! And was probably for about an hour! So a waste of fuel and time for nothing!! Fed up of this place and never coming again!

I have passed by the A303 on a number of occasions recently and have often seen this KFC from the main road, today I decided to stop off, as it was mid-journey on the way home. I wish I hadn’t have bothered, why you ask, well here goes.I decided to go inside as I’d been driving for a few hours and the place was fairly quiet at just before 8pm, however I had to wait whilst the staff served the one person in front of me; rather than taking my order after the previous person, he went and got the their order and then only served me once that was complete and he did that for everyone whilst I was there, doing one order at a time!It wasn’t as if the place was understaffed as there were at least 4 of them available.However things got worse, the only chicken that they had were chick fillet strips and the coffee machine was broken so the only hot drink that they could serve was tea, also they had no toppings left for the Kream Balls, I gave up asking about anything else after that, so what exactly they had available is a mystery. I wouldn’t be surprised if KFC disappears from whole country soon, because it seems like this is not an isolated case. The last time I went to KFC (in Portsmouth) the service again was appalling and the order was wrong. Looking at other KFC’s and the reviews that they get, they seem to be very consistently poor.I didn’t bother checking on Trip Advisor for reviews before my visit because I assumed that fast food places would be at average at the very least – how wrong could I be.

I was travelling home and decided i fancied a KFC as dont often have one so was passing on the A303 northbound and popped in for what i was expecting to be fast food :(.I decided to go into the restaurant as i needed to pay a visit to the loo and there was not one person serving front of house all were concentrating on the drivethru. There were at least 10 people stood waiting to be served and i saw two couples walk away on disgust .I decided to give the drivethru a go as this seemed to be moving faster. Got to the order window and not even a hello or be with you in a minute. Nope sat there for five minutes checking thier awful trip advisor reviews but when i eventually ordered it did come within five mins and was average not terrible however i was not given any wipes and my first drink was wrong. I drove into the carpark to eat my food and watched another four sets of people leave in disgust. The management need to sort this out or it will be closing very soon. Oh and i think the last time the bins were emptied was a week ago as they were all overflowing with garbage.

The wait was absolutely horrendous and some people were waiting there for 40 minutes. After waiting 20 minutes I left as they told me they didn't have enough chicken.

The Google map position is incorrect as at 7th February 2015. The restaurant is actually North of the A303. You would think this would be of interest to a business! Unfortunately, it appears to be symptomatic of a poorly managed restaurant.

Small portions, paid £20 for 2 medium meals and one happy meal which in all fairness for poor food I think is a joke. The chips were practically white, and the portion was what i'd class as half, same for the drinks they were barely over half the way up the cup. Total rip off

Moved the order point on drive through with inadequate signage so car after car now misses the point and at order window gets told to drive back round and look for some obscure red box to shout at… creating a massive queue! Useless….

Obnoxiously loud music. Guess that’s what happens when kids run a place. No chicken mayo’s. Cold burgers. Some rubbish sonic toy from months ago instead of the yugioh one. They never ever gave the correct toys here. Prob as the staff take them all.

We have been to this lovely place a few times now and love the quality and quantity of their food, all dished up with great service. This time we stopped off for breakfast and then headed to the haynes motor museum and when we finished there, we made our way back down again for our lunch/dinner at this wonderfull place. WE LOOK FOREWARD TO OUR NEXT VISIT. KEEP UP THE HARD GREAT WORK.
