We got two double deluxe burger meals and a happy meal waited ten minutes at drive thru window when we got it home we had to use a knife and fork (yes I know rediculous) the topping and the cheese was all over the box was absolutely nothing like the picture you advertise Customer service is rubbish I know the staff are kids but some training wouldn’t go amiss

Wouldn’t recommend. Been scammed out of £9 by ordering food that I had been given the cheaper option

Just called in for 2 ketchup breakfast buns and a cheesy flatbread. The guy who was operating the drive thru had a definite edge when I ordered and when I went to pay 2 cheesy flat breads and 1 ketchup breakfast roll flashed up on the screen. I told him it should have read 2 rolls and 1 flat bread. He corrected it & I paid only to be asked to confirm what I ordered at the next window which I did. I was then handed what I thought was my order and drove the 5/6 miles home. Imagine my surprise (not) when I found 2 cheesy flatbreads, 1 breakfast roll and a hash brown inside. I'm not a moaner or a whinger, but this isn't the 1st time they have got the orders wrong in recent months and I would advise people to check the contents of the bag before driving away.

We visited this branch during half term, with friends and their children, travelling back from a break. It was extremely busy. The car park was full, drive thru was tailed back and the restaurant was heaving. Service took ages due to the volume of customers and we waited so long that I thought they’d mislaid our order. Our friends waited even longer for theirs. Today I got a notification of a parking fine as we apparently were there for over 2 hours. Considering how busy the car park was and the number of cars, none of us noticed any signs-how silly of us to keep our eyes on the traffic rather than looking for signage!! We were legitimate customers and between us bought 7 meals. And waited a long time for them. Definitely don’t recommend unless you’re happy to throw the food down your throat or happy to get a parking fine. Sheer robbery and deception.

Issued me with £100 parking fine, whilst I was being a genuine customer inside their restaurant. Customer service team refused to look into this. I have been a frequent visitor to this restaurant over recent years but I will never visit again. I was in the restaurant for a particularly long time, waiting for my son to finish his driving test, but I was a genuine customer and I made several orders whilst I was there. My downfall was returning to the restaurant to buy my son a meal once he had passed his test. Restaurant was pretty much empty, so service for first order was quick. Second order didn't get brought to table, so after a while i went looking for it. ?My coffee was sat on the counter and had clearly been there some time, so was not in great condition. However, a coffee for <£2 is no big deal compared to £100 fine.

Arrived just after 9pm to find the place looking closed as chairs were on top of tables. Informed by a member of staff that they were just cleaning. Placed our order on one of the digital boards to be collected at the counter and waited…and waited…and waited. My number hardly loved at all in the queue. They were extremely busy and a small queue of people formed behind us. Could be wrong but it seems they put drive-thru and orders to be delivered ahead of those standing there patiently in the restaurant itself. After about 15-20mins I had to ask what was happening just as my number transferred over to he collected. It took another 5 mins for it to be put together and put on the tray ready by a manager (large lady with a white grubby creased shirt that looked like it had been worn for several shifts in a row). She picked up our shakes from an array of pre-made ones which meant they had gone soft and runny by the time we got them. Fries great it has to be said but the burgers were dry as if they had been sitting for some time. Shakes were meh. Not our favourite branch. Won’t be back.

I might regret giving this 4 stars but I feel like this mistake needs to be brought up. They gave me a banana milkshake instead of a vanilla one and it happens loads. The person admitted she did it by accident and she was very apologetic. It's an easily done mistake but it did take some of our time.up even though the drive thru was quick. Shame because the fries were one the best at macdonalds.

Perfect burgers, usually they are just thrown together and soppy from other McDonald’s but it was perfect

Ordered food for table service and picked up numbered tent card. Restaurant was busy so when I saw the staff member with our order I held up the numbered card to help her see it. She brought the food over and said “ next time make sure we can see the number “ in a gruff voice which was a totally unnecessary comment. Maybe she would be more suited to a position where she didn’t actually have to deal with customers like emptying the trash or something as she was a rude individual devoid of basic good manners and not suited to dealing with the public. Coffee was slightly bitter fries just warm and chicken selects chewy. standard McDonald’s tbh nothing special.

4 minutes agoNEW If I could give this a - 100 I would, I went over 10 mins on the car park and was charged 100 pound(that's £10 a minute) for overstaying. I hadn't seen the signs and when I wrote to macdonlds twice (even head office) they were not interested at all. So much for looking after regular customers. I won't ever buy anything at macdonlds for my family again since you obviously do not care about your customers. Beware at of these ridiculous parking charges they Will still charge you!

Met my friend, ordered meals and then coffees and desserts. No issues. Was there just over 1 hour. However, nearly two months later I recieved a £100 parking "fine" for staying over 1 hour. This is a scam. I'll never visit again. It's easy to stay over 1 hour when meeting friends, particularly with young children.

Went here yesterday... ordered on screen and waited ages for the food to be delivered to the table. Not helped by more staff being on breaks than working and service themselves instead of customers... won’t be returning.. COVID situation should make it easier for them to simply cook food and deliver it to tables by not having to deal with customers ordering face to face.... shocking and manager needs replacing....

Ordered off the lad through drive through who was full of attitude and couldn’t be bothered then after requesting no gherkins on any of the burgers, the burgers were opened and the gherkins must have been pulled off as just left in the boxes, unbelievable and I would have returned if I wasn’t on the motorway

we stopped with the children for a 'treat' but were very disappointed with the meals. I watched the food handled by the staff without tongs and just tipping the fries into the kids box upside down so they all fell out. Hubby's cjicken legend made him feel ill. Might actually be our last Macdonalds.

The reason milkshakes are not available at any McDonald’s is the machine need cleaning which can take a few hours so they refuse to clean it for ages hence the milkshakes not being available, this McDonald’s is the worst for it the milkshakes are never available, foods always cold shocking
