It would of been nice to get everything i ordered. Having items missing happens far too often and when trying to contact them they either answer and then hang up or don't even bother answering. Poor customer service.

Had a mcchicken and triple cheese burger. The mcchicken was a bit dry and not particularly hot. The cheeseburger on the other hand, the best burger I've had from McDonald's in years. Cheese was actually melted, patties hot and gooey. I'm used to dry but edible burgers, but this was actually a good burger. Whoever cooked that needs to get themselves a job in a proper kitchen not McDonald's.

I wish I knew the young man's name who served us at the Arnison centre MacDonalds on Sunday afternoon. He was very polite and professional. He noticed that I ordered a big Mac without the bun and sent over a knife and fork without us having to ask. These young people who work in MacDonalds have always been respectful, very helpful and I hope the managers notice it too and treat them well. I imagine it to be a bit of a thankless task for them sometimes but hopefully most of us customers appreciate their hard work. Thank you very much young man.

I have been there many times and every time i have been there late at night after finisheing work. Whatever i order there has always been something missing from the order 90% of the time the most expensive item of my orderand i only ever notice after ive walked home. The main food items ive been missing out off include the chicken big mac, chicken strip select (which was swiched for chicken nuggets which is allot cheeper) and most reasently completly missing the double big mac with bacon. Improvent needs to be made to not scam costomers out of items of food every night

Sometimes you get told to drive round to the bay things and other times you're sat behind someone else for ages that didn't get told the same which is a bit weird. Inside is okay but the same as every other McDonald's, clean floors that look mucky all the time, broken tables and chairs.

Go there every Thursday with grandchildren. Food is ok but for some reason the ice cream machine is always out of order. Went 3 weeks running and not available. But over the last few months it’s more likely to be out of action than up and running. If it’s always breaking down get a new one . I’m sure Ronald has enough readies to do this!

Really gone downhill. Think I've been able to get a McFlurry once in the last 6 months. They're never available. I've tried lunchtime, teatime, late evening. When asked I'm always told they have to clean the machines. It's 5.20pm and I can't get one now. Why are you cleaning machines at the most busy times? I suspect you're not. I get an ice cream isnt a huge deal to many but for my Autistic fries and ice cream obsession I tell you it's a huge deal. It's a difference between eating and having a meltdown and not eating deal. Always have to wait in the car park for my order too. No other McDonald's makes me do this every single time. I avoid it now. Would rather drive further to get the food I want and still probably quicker than waiting here. I don't get it. The staff are always friendly however, shame I don't go for the chat though.

Having read some poor reviews about this McDonald’s I have to say it was spot on, and deserves a good review for my visit. Used drive through only took a few mins, food was good, fresh and hot. Car park small but parked no problem, never seen as many rubbish bins at a McDonald’s before. 1.30pm visit on a Thursday.

Very disappointing branch, McFlurry's always seem to be unavailable on our early evening visits. Last time, ordered a triple cheeseburger, only got a double. Service is quite slow too and food is often not very warm. Bit of a trek through Durham to Dragonville but that one seems much better. The Arnison Centre one is consistently disappointing.

Popped in a couple of times as my son was in hospital and this was a nice little break for me. Always order via app as love their rewards points. But what I liked about this restaurant was that every parking space is numbered, therefore you can park anywhere and have the food delivered to your car instead of having to park in only a couple of designated spaces.

i ordered 6 nuggets and instead got a quarter pounder (brilliant start), ordered a plain cheeseburger with bacon because the only things i like are the burger, cheese, and bacon (not even the ketchup) so they give me a plain cheeseburger without the bacon which i paid extra for and then a double cheeseburger with bacon and ketchup (thanks). there was no straw for my drink and there was a hair in the cheeseburger. absolutely disgusting i understand yous are busy constantly but pack accuracy is important otherwise you get angry customers

Honestly, every time at drive through or delivery - half the order is missing. Is it really that difficult to check the receipt against the item in the bag?? Just had a delivery ( I thought I'd give the benefit of the doubt after the last time) half of it's missing - again! Rang store, fobbed off with ring uber - who never answer. Absolute con. Avoid unless you're in store and watch them pack your order.

This is more to do with mcdelivery. I placed an order at 18:12 on the app the original delivery time was by 18:50 at 18:35 this was changed to 19:25. So by this time my food was more than likely already made and waiting for collection. My food did arrive however at 19:20 delived by Uber it was stone cold and had to be binned tried calling Uber eats who advised 1 hour and 12 mins is excitable time for delivery so noting would be done. Tried to call McDonald’s Arnison center they didn’t answer there phone that’s a cost of £27 wasted because of McDonald’s making the food and just leaving it to go cold on the side and Uber eats taking so long to collect and deliver the food will never use the mcdeliver service again

Ordered a meal for delivery and only received the chips and drink. Rang customer service and I'm getting a refund. I wish you could ring the restaurant and complain and get the burger I should of had delivered as a refund isn't getting to fill my stomach. How is it hard to look in a bag and see a portion of chips and no burger on a meal order and not see an issue.

This morning I ordered pancakes and syrup and I was given pancakes with a disgusting looking burger on top. I am a vegetarian so I could not eat this, I was also given no cutlery and the lid on my drink was not put on properly so it spilt all over my car.

Bought a strawberry milk shake and it tasted of chocolate so went back and bought another and it had chocolate on the lid so I asked for a new one and the manager who’s name is Caitlin/Kaitlin/Kaitlyn. She got defensive and started to argue but I said that it should be what I ordered. Eventually she changed it so I’m guessing she cleaned the nossle and finally we got a proper strawberry milkshake. good that they finally changed it but it took persuading.

To inform the manager of Peterlee McDonalds, there was 3 crew members who were extremely rude. It’s meant to be service with a smile not with a frown. These members of staff are named James, Chloe and Evan as read from the name badges. It made me extremely uncomfortable and that level of unprofessionalism was unacceptable. Personally I think further action should be taken. Kind regards anonymous
