McDonald's in Hambleton

It was very busy when we visited, but we managed to find a table indoors. It was being cleaned by a lovely lady, nothing phased her and she was very smiley and happy to help. Food was okay. The toilets were disgusting and smelly...

Yet again walk-ins are practically ignored as the focus appears to be with getting meals to the drive throughs. Waiting for a breakfast around 08:00 takes 15-20 minutes each time. Seriously, 15+ minutes. The tables are also sticky and they are clearly under-staffed. Bins outside are overflowing.

As you walk through the door everything felt normal, you look around it feels like any other McDonald’s I’ve ever entered! Here’s where it changes. Upon placing my order, I noticed something strange, it seemed to be printing a receipt, it might seem that the staff actually care about this establishment! But yet how I was wrong….the food they serve up is criminal I believe they should be on community service! The only thing them chefs are any good for is picking up cigarette butts before the homeless get them! Finalise my review after finishing my breakfast I’d thought I would venture into work, oh how I was wrong…it gave severe diarrhoea, all the cubical at work was taken, I was lead to the extreme to drop a King Charles the third in the Urinals…you will never see this face again!

Last time (few months back)I tried this place, I used the app to order and was ignored on driving up to the window. Ended up having to go inside to ask for my order defeating the whole point of the app. This time, I pulled up to the speaker to place my order. I waited…..and waited then waited a bit more…. then said “Hello?” … “Give me a minute mate!” After another 2-3mins had passed I drove off 🙄 At least they’ve updated when to ignore you and don’t wait till you get to the pay window!! Laughable service. Never again

Good points: Service was good, there is a big car park and also a big seating area. Bad points: The ordering machine had no paper in it for a receipt. I pointed this out and the server said I only needed to know my order number. This may be true but I'd like one for my credit card records. They didn't have any quarter pounders with cheese or a regular coke so neither of us got what we wanted. My burger tasted as though it had been cooked some time before and it was cold. I left some of my burger because it was tasteless. For a Tuesday lunchtime (about 1.15) it seemed really quiet. It seemed rather expensive for what we had.

The service is terrible. Dirty tables and no condiments in the dispensary. Informed staff of this and was ignored. Food presented terribly and was not hot.

We visited the drive thru today. Our order was a Big Mac meal with flat white( no fizzy drinks available) and a grand Big Mac with bacon and a strawberry milkshake.we were quickly served staff were polite,when it came to receiving the order I had to remove a hair hanging from under the lid of my flat white which was only 3 quarters full and not very hot . We arrived home ( Leeming village less than a few minutes drive from the services ) The food was cold completely both burgers and chips we had to reheat in the microwave.The presentation was shocking my Big Mac was acceptable however my husbands order of grand Mac was just’thrown together’ .It needed to be totally reconstructed.It appears that these products have been made in advance and kept on a hot plate which clear.y is not effective .There was only one car in front of us so it was not busy so cannot fathom why this has occurred. So sorry to say it was fast service but poor quality presentation and cold food.

Went to the drivethru today. The lad taking our order was lovely. However when we drove up to collect the food it was a different matter. The girl gave us the food and then tried to pass over 2 drinks. Being in the car it was difficult to get them. I said I would take them out of the cup holder and she snapped 'No, you have to take it.' I managed to get it in the car without dropping it. She didn't say thankyou - just glowered at me and turned away. When we opened our food there were no sauces or napkins in with it. The food was okay - as for the miserable thing serving - she was a disgrace.

On arriving at the main entrance you could believe McDonald’s was closed as the main entrance looks a bit run down and McDonald’s is tucked round the back , staff were friendly and service was good , for the first time ever we were asked by a friendly host called Emily if we were enjoying our meal which was a nice touch

Stopped off here for a coffee on our way home to Northumberland. It’s tucked away behind the run down hotel - had to ask at the Costa coffee shop where it was. Don’t park in the services car park carry on past it and on the left at the end of the hotel turn left and it’s behind the hotel.Service was quick and it’s the first time we had someone ask us if everything was ok when we were sat having a coffee.It was quiet although that’s probably because it was Easter Sunday.

Unless you've been stuck under a rock then you'll know what to expect. This is slightly off the beaten track at Leeming Bar Services now that the A1(M) has sllightly realingned and made thsi no longer straight accessible from the motorway, the adjoining rest area/services is shabbly but the McD's is gleaming, tidy, clean and efficient. For 24hr food, drink and rest at a price you know and is not a motorway rip off I'd recommend this...
