'Not the first time but definitely the last time I am eating from this place. I was going to give the service a good review until, I decided to go inside to rectify an order made on the Drive-Thru. I will give the young man taking the orders and payment on the window an 8/10, although he was shouting through his headpiece and mic but very polite. The food was appalling though and in complete. The chicken was partly pick and the sauce in the smoky chimichurri, was awful. The chips were hot but had not totally fried through. My friend always orders a Bacon Double Cheese Burger but was given a tiny ordinary burger instead at £7.99. In total we spent £20.00+. I decided to go inside to find out why and was attended to by a young girl, who was wearing a microphone on her head as well. After explaining my concerns. she asked the 'chef' 'What did I put on that order?' Without waiting for his response and pushing him out of the way, she turned to me and said 'I will make you another one'. She was talking all over the food prep table, having left the tills and proceeded to make another regular burger, not stacked like a DBL Bacon Cheeseburger at all, WITH HER DIRTY BARE HANDS, as I watched in horror. Mind you, I was on the restaurant floor, where other customers could hear and see the food prep area. She daintily wrapped this burger, handed it to me and politely responded to my thank you! This is NOT how any food should be prepared and I will be complaining to the local council responsible. Untrained till staff, should not be involved in ANY SORT OF FOOD PREP! It can cause food poisoning and...

Dear Burger King,
I’d like to file an official complaint. Not with your customer service no, they’re lovely but with your app.
That deceptively innocent little icon on my phone, which has single handedly sabotaged my diet more effectively than my own lack of willpower.
You see, I’m trying to be healthy. Leafy greens, chicken that isn't fried, the odd lentil. But then your app pops up like an ex at 2 a.m.
“Hey stranger… fancy a Whopper?” And suddenly I’m two and a half minutes from your drive-thru. Three and a half if I’m pretending to resist.
Your marketing team must be proud. Free cheeseburgers? A Whopper for £1? Fries with a “satisfying rustle” like they’ve been designed to sound delicious? What am I meant to do delete the app?
Don’t be absurd. I need it… in case of emergencies. Like low blood sugar. Or a bad Monday. Or a good Tuesday.
The irony is, every time I tap "Redeem Offer," I swear it’s the last time. Like some burger-based Groundhog Day. But then, oh look free Chicken Royale with any purchase. Well, it'd be rude not to.
So thank you, Burger King. Thank you for making dieting a thrilling game of Russian Roulette with cholesterol. You’re not just three and a half minutes from work you’re 40 seconds from my downfall.
Yours regretfully, A man now on first-name terms with the...
Read moreWhat a horrible experience, the food was cold for starters 3 childrens meals £3.49 each 4 nuggets and a few chips and no toy ! The children felt cheated and so did I. When 9 nuggets and chips are £1.99 at the moment. I ordered 3 ice creams and chocolate shakes for them as they didn't want a diet drink. There were no children drinks. It was a very expensive meal. After the children had finished I cleaned the table but the bin was over flowing people had already dropped stuff on the floor due to the bin being full. I left the chocolate milk shakes and unbeaten ice creams on the table. As we got up to leave 3 serving assistances behind the counter were standing there when a young girl said "you need to clear your table" in a very off handed manor, I said I have, but they are liquids and there is no room in your bin and you need to empty the bin. She again told me to clear the table and told me she was looking for a bin bag. I was not waiting there for her to...
