Colonel’s Catalogue of Christmas Calamity!
I spotted the drive-thru and thought I’d try the KFC festive offering “Three Legends Box Meal” I had no idea what it contained (probably chicken), but I general go for the promotion because I gave up looking at the KFC menu board some years ago, for me it has the same baffling quality as a London Underground ticket machine.
Anyway the talking bollard repeated my order back to me “…you want 3 chicken legends?” and so I thought I’d misread the bloody advert, why would KFC add to my confusion by using a number within the name of a product?
In hindsight he might have been on a fast food exchange program from McDonalds, so I explained that I only wanted a single “Three legends box meal" with beans and a coffee, but his tone suggested that like me, he remained unconvinced that such a thing existed and was only humouring me from here on in!
Coming around to the service hatch, I was a little perturbed to see that the Nissan Micra in front contained at least 10 individuals, this would obviously slow up proceedings, particularly if the guy serving thinks that they want 10 Family Feast buckets rather than 10 pieces of chicken in a bucket!
Nevertheless I got served my meal, but in my haste forgot to ask for a spork to eat the beans. You always need to ask unless you’re happy pouring the bean into your face. On the other hand be very careful, if you remind them that you need sauces, condiments and a serviette they have a tendency to over compensate and provide you enough materials to satisfy a fleet of the aforesaid Nissan Micras.
It later turned out I didn’t actually need the spork because instead of beans I had actually been provided with a pot of Dulux Antique Green, which was warm and whiffed faintly of curry. I digress, but we consequently went with a Natural Hessian for the hallway.
After paying at least four times on the contactless thingy I was then handed and subsequently returned the bottled water, then a Pepsi, before I eventual got coffee. Is that really Seattle’s Best Coffee? Do the socialites really drink tepid brown water in the Emerald City?
Anyhow the coffee cup lid turned out to be broken so I had to pull over and extract Seattle’s Best from around the gear stick with 1 of the 40 straws I had been given!
PS the “Three Legends Box meal” is a real thing and as you would expect contains chicken.
Not “So good” KFC but this was...
Read moreWell. This is actually one of the better KFC’s I’ve been fortunate enough to sample.
Clean car park. Even did a donut in me car before I parked cos the tarmac was all new. Very Clean windows! A young man who served me was really polite and rapid. a young man who was working really hard cleaning the dining area with gloves for the job. All his PPE. and a good smile made me smile to.
Had a chat about the new style fries. Seasoned. He was knowledgeable polite and respectful and a handsome chap for front of house. And the chicken was rather banging. That’s my Sheff way of saying the meal was perfect.
Only thing I can crab it on is the lighting is massively bright inside. Rather dull outside! Maintenance guy needs a bucket throwing at him and eye test also., Mainly due to the extraction on MAX in the gents! That’s wasting electricity as well as the lighting overly bright.
. Obviously the KFC Boss doesn’t care about the effect it has on our planet. Looks like he/she or they.Doesn’t pay electricity bill either.
LED Dimmer switches do exist. So do ventilation and extraction controls. You save thousands over 5 years. It’s true!
Obviously maintenance man isn’t trained or Dunt care he burning fan motors out regularly I bet! Plus he doesn’t clean the vents.
So again. Well done all of the people what make KFC, queens Road a lot better than I was told a while ago. It’s one of the best I’ve found. Well done!
Tell maintenance company u wish for A full report on your extraction system. On performance. They will shiz a brick. Cos I’d sack em off for unnecessary waste of energy. I hope they don’t look after all the KFCs cos money could be wasted in every KFC they maintain. While your company informs them. Ask them if your air con units are sanitised based on the set up on the rest. The grill is brown. Change it. They also come in white.!
Wear sunglasses if sensitive to bright lights and you will be fine.
So all in all. Very good KFC. Far better than Barnsley Road. By miles. I won’t even test the food after seeing state of the windows. Obvs different person from Queens Road. He’s mint.
Clean windows is important. Dirty windows means dirty everything in a passing drivers view. Looks like queens road window team gunna land every KFC if they keep up the...
Read moreI placed an order through just eat yesterday at 9 pm, I waited and nothing came to my address, no phone call from the driver to say he couldn't find the address. I rang the restaurant numerous times and they ignored my call numerous times, I waited for more than 45 - 50 minutes no one came, so I went over to the restaurant before closing time at 9 55 tried to call a member of staff, one member came to the door.
I believe it was the manager wearing a grey shirt, looked like an Indian, 5ft 4, Asian, black hair. So I took my mask off so I could speak to them and he repeatedly kept saying we are closed and he didn't even bother to listen to my query, worst customer service i have ever had, he said because of COVID-19 guidelines they close at 10, however it was still okay for him to come into my inner personal space without wearing a mask properly and touched me physically pushing me out of the doors, I tried telling him I've already ordered the food, he interrupted me and did not choose to listen and ignored me, violated my inner personal space even after i told him stand back away from me as it was not 2 metre distance, he didnt seem to care at all and was more bothered in just going home, they think just because guidelines say customers can not enter at 10 that they can finish earlier pack up earlier and disrespect customers. So he physically pushed me out of the door, shut the door on my face locked the door stopping me from talking to him and walked away.
I didn't cause any conflict didn't shout at them and tried to speak to them in a calm manner but instead I got the worst experience ever. I never expected I would ever receive this kind of disgusting customer service from any restaurant. Due to my missing order and because of the disrespect, they chose to ignore a customer and just wanted to get out and go home as soon as, I didn't get any response from the just eat or the restaurant on the time and was left without food. I will not stand for this. DO NOT COME TO THIS RESTAURANT AS I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO GO THROUGH THIS DISGUSTING INCIDENT EVER IT WAS...
