Stopped for toilets and tea only. But can honestly say. The loos were nice and clean. The service to purchase tea was quick and friendly. I noticed a member of staff cleaning the floor of food left by a family!!!! Just quietly getting on with it. So that new visitors could enjoy their visit........ Impressed!!!!!

Visited en route to Newquay. We sat outside as my little dog was with us and she wasn't allowed inside. The food was pretty much as you'd expect. Very busy spot.

A very great McDonald’s. I’ve seen a lot of 1 stars but really it’s not that bad at all!. A man called Joel is a really nice man at the drive thru, the staff are kind, very clean, and the food are delicious. But don’t know why the Lane is still closed after 3 days, no sign put up to Warn or to let us know that it’s closed. Abit confusing. But the rest is great!!. If ur a local like me, you will get used to it, it is the best McDonald’s that me and my family have ever been to. Cousins came down from Yorkshire and My nephew came down from Scotland, they all enjoyed this McDonald’s. Very happy!

Poor drive through service, took over 20 minutes for food. This isn't the first time that the drive through and restaurant have been slow and staff care less about it either. I would rather use the Wincanton McDonalds in future when traveling along the A303.

It's not 24 hours, certain staff are rude and if it's not 24 hours, change your website or a sign by the entrance would stop a lot of confusion and disappointment. Especially if you cordon off your carpark, while customers are still parked there with no direction. Staff are messing around or having no staff at all. It seemed a shock to the manager that customers were asking about service at a fast food place where you serve food 🤔 I wouldn't bother after 8pm.

Whoever owns the franchise for this site you need to sort it out . the worse service in the area by far .have they not heard of parking bays and keeping things moving no they just leave people to wait for up to 15 mins . i wouldnt mind but only one lane open god help us if they opened both of them . i along with 2 others reversed out of the queue today as had just about enough of it . what business that is left will be gone as when things are quiet its they need to keep onside but compared to wincanton its chalk and cheese . wont be back until they get a decent manager not the wastes of space that are in charge at present

I've been driving into this McDonalds to grab the same order nearly every day for 3 years. The people who work there can't understand the difference between black coffee and white coffee. I order it black, every time. About 1/5 times it comes to either white or just tastes like dish water. I don't know why the staff there find it so difficult, but I'm generally sick and tired of this place. I just want a nice coffee, but the staff here are incapable of making coffee. Imagine being so stupid you can't make a coffee, tragic

Got to McDonald’s at 22:10. Both drive thru lanes were closed, I live local and I know that normally one lane is closed at this time of night. The automatic door was shut. We were stood there looking in for a good minute or so. The staff were talking inside (quite close to us) and didn’t even look at us. Quite blatantly ignored us. The other half managed to open the door and asked the staff if they were open as to which they said no sorry. No reason given. The opening times on both Google and on their front door state that they close at 11pm. I’ve never had a problem with this place but it seems like the closing times of the drive thru lanes are getting earlier and earlier as well as the front counter. Would be nice to have reasoning and notice in advance. We had to let people know as they parking up to save them doing what we did.

Just stopped for coffee, which was fine except too often recently it has been lukewarm, so I'm beginning to think paying double may be better if I want hot coffee! I have taken them back and they have changed them, but that really isn't always convenient

This McDonald’s is a letdown and a disappointment. Firstly the washroom (mens) wreaks of faeces and urine. The staff are miserable and from the point of my in restaurant placing and paying for order being burger & chips for 4 people they took absolutely ages to produce and hand the food order over the counter quite clearly because they are giving unfettered priority to all and every drive through customer. I could’ve driven through several times and been fully served before I received my order. Then eventually our wrapped burgers weren’t marked up what they were so inevitably we we’re all guessing who’s burger was who’s and we got it all wrong eating each others. This place scores a minus 10. My recommendation is “avoid !!

Whole place was locked and shut before 10pm, myself and another customer (who had ordered via the app) refused service by the 'manager' as they were closed. Even though website and door sign state open until 11pm, worse still the larger billboard sign states 24hrs! I call the person 'manager' but the atrocious filth of language that came out the mouth would make you believe it was an escaped prisoner and not an employee.

I have been looking to visit Sparkford McDonalds for a while and as it's pretty local on the A303 kind of maybe overseen it. So set out on a set mission to tick this one off. I really like the location next to Wakes Shell Garage and nearby Queen Camel. After negotiating the road cones I do like what I call a small cottage style McD (like Poundbury). The McPlant meal and toffee latte was goid and there was a younger team working. Had a chat with Maddie who served me and I think Sparkford is getting there again.

I came to this mcdonald’s location today for a bit of lunch and I am very impressed to say the least. On this date, the McRib was released back into stores and I thought I would try it considering it is limited time only. And it was so much better than I could’ve imagined, a lovely soft and rectangular shaped bun with bbq sauce and a pork patty. I don’t know whether it’s only so good because of it being the first day of it released again but it was enjoyable! Alongside some more food I had, the chips were salted to perfection and cooked well. the service was lovely, served by a younger man who was very pleasant and even apologised for the wait despite not having to wait long anyway. I have had a very good visit today, and all visits in the past, especially today have been fabulous. keep up the good work team i am impressed.

Met expectations of a McDonald's visit. It was awful. Some careless worker over salted the meat, and it was disgusting. Staff member was visibly annoyed when asking for some sauce. Toilets were disgusting, and I walked out with urine all over the soles of my shoes. On a positive note, they did have milkshakes available.

This 'A303' MacDonalds is consistently the top location for well cooked, hot, efficiently served and friendly staff. Particularly the drive-in facility. On the rare occasions I drive to the West Country it has never been dislodged from its top-store position - even if the restaurant site is a bit cramped - but this is due to its phenomenal success - it's cause and effect!
