The best restaurants in Cherwell South East

Received only 4 prices of chicken in the family sharing meal which is supposed to have 6 pieces via Uber Eats in a sealed bag. I called Bicester KFC and the manager did not care or offer any recompense or to provide the two missing pieces. The large Uber Eats driver had a white T-Shirt with bodybuilder written on it and didn’t say hello, goodbye or thanks just immediately demanded the PIN number. Very rude. I thought that was very strange because the last time this happened a delivery driver asked to see my card and took all the details and went to France buying loads of things on my card somehow. So I thought this man was very suspect with his rudeness. Guess we just have to accept that these days. However the bag was sealed so it can’t be him. I explained this to the manager and told him he was responsible. He blamed the driver, became very rude and then hung up!!!! Ahhh, horrible service. I will NEVER use either service again.

Always great pizza from here. The staff are friendly and the food is good. And there are good deals with collect orders.

Worst ever. Just don't go there. Long and wrong orders. Problem with taking order right, 25 min waiting time night is a thing.. Really.

Decided to nip into Starbucks whilst northbound on A34. Got food for all as well as drinks. Wanted to sit in. Order taken by one of the lads and we attempted to pay. It said we paid and then we waited for our stuff. A few mins later they advised us it hadn’t gone through and we’d need to pay again. We said it clearly went through as it said approved. They insisted it didnt and asked us to pay again. We asked for the decline receipt and he said there wasn’t one which we also disputed. As we couldn’t get our food and drink we did as asked and tried to pay again. This time it said it didn’t go through so we tried again. Again it looked as if it went through but they said it didnt. This time we stood our ground and said we wanted to see a decline receipt. They then gave us 2 receipts - one said decline, the other said an issue processing. The third receipt apparently hadn’t come out. We then paid again and apparently all successful. Having been perplexed and annoyed, a few days later we checked the bank statement to find they’d taken money from us multiple times. So each time we said we paid; we had. Now either it’s a scam they are running or their machine is on the blink. Needless to say, our bank are now going to be looking into it to get our money back as it’s very clear that they are the same transaction multiple times in a row but we shouldn’t have to do that. There were plenty of free tables and all looked comfy. None were clean. Clear but not clean. A guy however was seen to be sweeping the floor and wet floor sign were out. We had our stuff and then went to go to the toilet to find them closed. Baring in mind this is a Starbucks at a service area and we purchased from them to sit in, not having toilet facilities open is poor. The food we had however was really nice. Can’t complain about the actual products received at all. Although they did present them to us all over the place…food on one side of the counter with drinks the opposite end. None at the same time. And a lad that appeared to think he ran the show was being a bit of a not very nice person to other staff. Would we stop here again?! Absolutely not. It was the most expensive Starbucks I’ve ever visited after all those additional unnecessary transactions!!!

Jeez the staff in here are so slow, you can literally complete the task your yourself but in reverse! Went in to grab a coffee expecting a quick turnaround, but no nearly 5 mins before someone even acknowledged that there was someone waiting to be served! Finally placed order but there were 2 others who were still waiting at the end counter to receive their orders! Sorry but being a barista isn’t difficult, if there are 2 you then one must serve and the other makes the drinks, if it is really busy then perhaps your lend assistance but keep an eye on next customers, and at the very least apologise for the delay! Step up Starbucks you are not the only place in town! Doesn’t look like there is ever a Supervisor or Manager about assessing how the staff are operating, so no encouragement to work faster to deliver. Separately but also important, the staff are really miserable and unfriendly, I realise that it is probably not their dream job, but it is a job and you are there to represent the company!! Whatever happened to service with a smile? I mean this is not exactly exclusive to the Banbury branch, as I find quite a few in London to be the same, the branch on Berkeley Street in Mayfair is the same, it’s had the “posh” refit but the atmosphere is miserable, and the music dire, just a nice soft jazz or easy listening does the trick! But Banbury wake up your staff!
