Came here a lot of times because of how reliable they are and friendly the staff are.The food is what you would expect from any fast food restaurant . In a wonderful location just of the M5 motorway. Would definitely recommend

Ordered 3 chicken wings for the wife, got 2, saw the 3rd on the heater thing, asked for it. Got denied even though they read out the order verbally containing 3 pieces of chicken. Probably got eaten by the workers, wife feeling a bit suicidal now ngl. Sort it out KFC, an accent isn’t a language barrier.

Stopped here to pick up a sandwich from the M&S Foodstore and go to the toilet. No problem with M&S, even managed to pay cash. However, the mens toilets were a utter disgrace. A number of urinals had been closed off, and the toilets had no manual means to be able to flush them, which appeared to have been removed. There was no apparent sensor operation either. All the cubicles had backed up poo and paper stinking the place out. Totally unacceptable for a very busy service station area. How it will cope during the busy holiday season I can't imagine. It needs to be fixed urgently!

Uterly Useless. Toilets are hidden away at the back. No real gluten-free meal options. Yes, good old M&S did have a free from prepacked sandwich. But none of the other outlets had anything GF on offer for breakfast.

The first thing that most people need, on arriving at a motorway service station, is access to the lavatories. In this place they have decided to put the toilets right and the back and have everyone pick their way through the catering bunfight to get to the plumbing. This is not about offering the customers what they need. It is also more difficult to access from the motorway than many other service stations. Perhaps hold it in and press on.

In one word - vile! Stopped for a coffee en route to Plymouth at 6:45am. Got a coffee from Pret then looked for a clean table to sit at. The floor was no better which, having worked in catering, I was surprised about considering it was so early. As none were clean I took my coffee outside so I could drink it whilst admiring a view of the overflowing bins. Before I left I used the toilet which stank with paper all over the floor. Disgusting place which I will make sure never to visit again!

It was like someone had made them with a paste as there was no substance to either. Only slightly warm which was not welcomed when you have driven for many hours. I hope these comments make Greggs standards improve as we would not recommend to buy from here

Watching a bunch of teenagers fooling around for 20 minutes when there are only two orders and you just want to get home was particularly frustrating.

The usual good food from a KFC but also the usual problem of missing items. This happens so often at every KFC I've ever used. Why oh why can't this be fixed? Even if it's not busy there are still too many mistakes made. I shouldn't have to open and check every item every time. I used to get KFC delivered but not anymore. I always collect it myself as I just can't trust the staff to put my order together properly. Always something missing or wrong. It's not acceptable. The food is always great though.

Really disappointing veggie options in every shop. Bathrooms are ok but the general vibe was off and it didn’t smell good or clean. Disappointed to not interact with forementioned black haired costa barista. Thinking that they probably got a bad rep when they were making the best out of a bad work environment. I was relieved to leave and will probably go somewhere else next time. Shout out to the pasty van though, as always great.

It started with the receipt not coming out of the order machine. Waited for 20 min. All those who ordered later got served. When I asked, the man there said, just a minute and then just began bringing stuff together. Didn't apologise. 5 min passed, he is still not ready. When asked a lady staff, she looked unpleasant too and took 2 min and handed a bag with no drinks. When asked again, she went back to the male staff who asked 'what else you need?' We have no receipt but reminded Lipton tea. Then he said 'no sorry. Do you want any replacement?' Choose another drink in place and just left. Such a horrible service never seen in a KFC. Just 2 beans were found in my veg rice box I ordered:(

Very hit and miss here. On this occasion, ‘Twas a bit of a miss. 15min wait to order, issues when ordering as they weren’t keen on accepting an offer from their own app promotion. When the food arrived the chips were cold and hard and chicken had almost as much bone as meat on some pieces. On balance, we have had much better meals from there so it really is the luck of the draw!

Stopped for lunch at Exeter services and chose KFC because normally it's fast and tasty but on Monday 7th August we placed an order at 12.57 and after three quarters of an hour waiting I was just going to the counter to demand a refund and leave when the food was finally produced. There is clearly a need for more staff or at least more staff training. We were not the only ones getting hangry. it seems the food was being cooked but not collated for service.

This is by far the worst service in the UK. It is a converted Travelodge. The person who designed the roads and routes must be an infant. In fact, an infant would have better instincts and do a better job. The chaotic dreariness of the place reminded me of something from the 1970s. The live, laugh, love brigade seemed to like it. The queue for Greggs that was dripping outside said it all for me. The type of people that get stimulus from things like Love Island were wallowing about, getting in the way of traffic and other people. It's a dangerous place to take the infirm and kids because of the tight traffic routes and pathetic walkways. Just appalling. I wanted and needed a shower after coming out of that dive.

Called in on my way home from a very busy day, ordered a 6piece family feast and a side of fillets. No option to buy the gravy so went for mash potatoes, was advised none of no mash so opted for beans. Grabbed my order and drove 25 mins home. I always reheat it in the airfryer when I get home but with it being a warm day it wasn't needed. First there was only one portion of fries instead of 4, the pots of beans had been chucked on top of the chicken and the fillets were so dry the were unediable. Come to eat the chicken and it tasted awful, almost got a sickly taste to it. The whole lot went in the bin. Certainly won't be returning!!!
