Racist employees, extremely judgmental. Around 18/19 year old girl made my daughter feel uncomfortable as they were making fun of a delivery driver as he left saying he looked like a terrorist! Unacceptable behaviour as we are muslim ourselves won’t be visiting again!

Honestly hands down THE WORST McDonald’s I’ve ever stepped foot in. Dirty tables, dirty floors, bins overflowing, inside and out. Dining Area staff were miserable. With exception to IAN as he goes above and beyond every time I see him. Very flustered manager behind the counter, clearly taking her anxiety/stress out on the crew members around her. I want to say the name was HANNAH. But can’t be sure as I didn’t see a name badge on. Or a hair net either. Very food safe. You can tell the rest of the team on shift are miserable too, management need to sort out morale! Maybe think about who you’re promoting to management and check they have the correct skill set to handle the shift. Overall an absolutely shocking experience. I won’t be coming back again. How it’s not been shut down by food safety is actually a concern.

May as well get rid of click and serve because you can never park there because of mcd delivery drivers Who are just rude and need to learn to drive

Walking from the car park to the front door there was a male behind us who spat on the floor twice and followed me into the restaurant. I was surprised to see him walk into the staff area. Then while in the middle of using the self serve machine, a staff member barged in front of me and said they needed them to use the machine a moment. After about 3 mins of fumbling around they changed the till roll. Would it not have been polite to wait until the customer had finished using it??

I had ordered a large order for the office via the McDonalds app and went to collect it as I have done before. The payment went through and I got to the counter to say my order code. Unfortunately for some reason the order had not reached them and they had no evidence of it. Adam, who I believe is the assistant manager, was quick to help. Luckily as I had the order for 9 people written down, he managed to ring the order up and give me my order freshly prepared within 5 minutes. I am very grateful for the professionalism and efficiency and so is the rest of our office. Thanks again.

We often frequent this McDonald’s as it on our regular route to Portsmouth from Cornwall. We just have 2 lattes to take away and normally they are great, today however, we were very disappointed with our lattes as they were so cold that the sugar didn’t dissolve, as we had already set off, we couldn’t return them for hot ones

Visited this resturant and observed staff preparing all forms of food , burgers , vegetable with their bare hands in the presence of members of the public . They appear to have a 'lack of care' and casual attitude sometimes squeezing the food with bare hands before placing in customers container.No gloves no serving tongs was ever used . I complained to manager present and the manager stated that this was normal procedure .The manager refunded my payment at my requests , i was grateful for her cooperation . But i am interested to know trading standards opinion on this issue.

Pre booked table for family of 8 we asked to be moved from the table as it was by the door and cold. Although only 25% full we were told the other tables were for walk ins. Which didn’t materialise! Have been on more than one occasion over last couple of years, we all agreed the patties and portions are far smaller than previous. My son questioned the size of his portion of fries and was told if he required more to order another portion. Sorry to say from our families point of view their race is run and we will not return.
