First tried to hand me someone else’s food, by the time mix up sorted my meal was cold. Staff on window 2 seemed to b helpful. I would have returned but needed to grab food and go.

Ordered a big Mac with bacon, bacon missing… Still charged for the Big Mac with bacon despite it being just a Big Mac. Delivery, so no way to get it fixed or refunded. Waste of money..

This McDonald is absolutely shocking, stood and waited 20 minutes just for two happy meals to be brought out. The staff couldn’t care less. It’s supposed to be fast food!

Absolute shocking service, cold and had to send it back 15 mins later I went to the counter and they’d forgotten it and as a bonus for waiting they gave me a hash brown which was cold as well.

My daughter has just bought us a breakfast. It took an hour and 10mins to arrive and when it did it was cold (not even slightly warm) I had a hot chocolate with mine which usually takes 30mins to cool down and that was just warm. Totally dissatisfied and won’t be ordering from swadlincote again

Truly awful place. Issues parking up as a gang of Eastern Europeans seem to think they rule the car park? Probably JustEat drivers? Security guard seems more interested in chatting up the staff and checking his phone, than he did the security of the place.

They can never help but mess up your order no matter what you order. Literally just ordered a big tasty with bacon and they couldn’t even put the damn bacon in it, on the screen when I ordered it said a big tasty with bacon and by the end I had a big tasty without bacon that looked like they’d scraped it off of the floor and they’d somehow changed the receipt to say just a big tasty so I couldn’t even debate the order. I know for a fact what I saw and they’ve done things like this over and over again for years, do not bother wasting your money it just gets worse and worse. I honestly think I’m done with the restaurant in swad entirely, elsewhere it may be fine but not here, again as I have said, do not waste your money (As for other examples they don’t put in your sauces you’ve ordered sometimes even if it costs extra, or miss out ingredients entirely, one time I ordered cheese dippers and they had given me chicken fillets in the cheese bite box, other times they’ve forgotten items entirely or given me an order that wasn’t even slightly comparable to mine)

This has to be the worth McDonald's in the country, they never get your order right and whether you collect or have a delivery the food is cold. If you have a delivery and you complain McDonalds blame Uber Eats and Uber Eats blame McDonalds Do not use this restuarant.

the past 10 visits have been the same, 10 to 20 minute waits with horrendous car queues at drive through, sadly like other branches the Deliveroo service has slowed the concept of fast food, those that order at home take priority over those that turn up, avoid!

This place is a joke, I understand that you are busy but it doesn't mean you can rip off your customers... I have ordered Mc'Plant, Mayo Chicken, Double chees, 2 x Triple Chees, 2 x L fries... what did I get? Mc'Plant, Mayo Chicken. Double chees with single patty, 2 x Triple cheesburgers with double patty (they were all wrapped correctly) and no fries... we didn't check everything straight away, just quick look in a bag and it seemed to be ok, when we came back Burton we were really surprised... WE paid around £16 and at at least £5 worth of food was missing... all I want to say is DO NOT GO ! they are usleless

I would will never go again. Ordered pancakes for my kids and a mcmuffin for me and my partner via the mcdelivery app. Only mine arrived hash brown was so greasy you couldnt get it out the paper bag and the mcmuffin well my dog wouldnt eat it so it just goes to show. I rang them about my missing items and was told they couldnt do anything so i went down to have some moron school dropout tell me all items are checked. Well clown if all items are checked i wouldnt have to go down to find out where everyones order is and the best thing i was followed by 4 more saying 90% of their orders are missing.

I took my 3 year old godson to McDonalds in Swadlincote for a treat, prior to visiting a car show. We parked up in the car park, taking the last space and walked to the restaurant. Once inside, i niticed there was hardly anybody inside, yet a full car park? We went to the screens and placed our order, taking a number triangle and wanting to sit down. The receipt didn't print. I asked for a receipt I was met with eyeballing and huffing and puffing, I got a very poorly printed receipt, which was of no use. We sat down near to a window and I noticed holes in the seat I was sat upon and upon looking towards the window, food stuffed between the window pane and the frame. We decided to go outside. Once outside, we sat down and close by, were 2 MacDonalds employees, sat on a table used for customers, vaping, smoking and swearing. Not wanting to upset my godson, I decided it best to remain quiet and I couldn't leave him alone whilst I got a manager The food arrived, as did another employee, who lit up a cigarette. This was coupled with delivery drivers, also smoking amd jabbering away, looking over and laughing. Truly and utterly the worst McDonalds I have ever had the displeasure of visiting. I shall not be darkening that store of ill repute, with my sahdow, ever again. I have no idea as to why the place was closed for refurbishment, when there is no evidence of any sort of upgrades. ZERO STARS.

He visitado este McDonald's una feria cuantas veces y parece que cada vez que voy algo va mal. En mi última visita me pidieron mi doble queso hamburguesa a ser simple. Era tarde, así que estaba muy tranquilo y el orden incluso tenía una pegatina de decir que había sido facturado a ser correcta. Poco de broma cuando claramente no lo que cuidadosamente. No hay excusa cuando está tranquilo. Después de tantas cuestiones similares que podría ser fácilmente resuelto mejor que evite totalmente.

I've been in many McDonalds, all over the country and in fact in the USA and Malta too. They are very much the same wherever you go, the food is exactly what you expect, usually served courteously. I would point out though that the 'fries' don't take to being left to go cold and then just giving them a quick whizz into the fryer to warm them up... the go like leather and some British McDonalds seem to be fond of this practice. Also never order a Filet of Fish or anything 'plain' (rather than with the various additives which are normally put into their burgers etc.) as you will probably have to wait an extraordinarly long time before your order is produced!

It’s not often i use this Domino’s, but EVERY time i do theres a problem. When placing an order the waiting time is 12 - 14 minutes but when turning up for collection after 20 minutes, they haven’t even started it, thus ending up being a wait of 35 minutes+. Then they always say they have ran out of a side. Well thats great but why let me order it in the first places then. Obtaining a refund seems really difficult for them. You don’t normally mind overpaying so much for a bang average pizza as long as the service is good, but here it is shocking. I will definitely not be returning

Ordered 2 kids chicken nugget meals and a few other items. Most were stone cold by the time I drove 5 minutes home. My fish was just batter, dried out and tasteless as were the chips. One Child's meal had no chicken nuggets so I was forced to split 3 chicken nuggets between 2 children (not shuttling the kids back to the car and back out again to return to ask for what i actually paid for!). The man who served me was not particularly friendly or sincere and so all in all I wish I had stuck to my usual Millenium Fish Bar or Urban Chef. Won't make this mistake again. Lastly, the restaurant floor was like an ice rink with multiple people struggling not to slip, of course it's very wet weather currently, but one tiny saturated door mat in the middle of the store? No yellow warning sign, no water proof Nomad type matting and no slip guard coating is a receipt for disaster.

I have been using Food Stop Swadlincote for a number of years, but now living alone and when I don't feel like cooking it is now my go to for a quickly delivered, nice tasting meal. I tend to go for the mixed kebab which is served with fresh salad in a naan and tasted great, but the Zinger burgers and pizzas are also really good too. I probably use them around twice a month now. Food is always piping hot and delivery is fast and friendly drivers. Even at busy times it's generally less than an hour from ordering to delivery, but quieter times it can be with me in 25 minutes. Online ordering is also simple and I haven't had a bad meal once, so happy to recommend them.

Absolutely smashing fish and chips, perfectly cooked and crisp batter, fried in beef dripping. Wonderfully flaky haddock and some proper proper chips also cooked in beef dripping. Chinese curry sauce was a winner and their saveloys are great! Will definitely be coming back!
