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!
