LEON Magor — Restaurant in Wales

We recently popped in to Leon after a round trip to Cornwall and back and we were really quite disappointed with what we ordered. The buns were a bit stale, there was barely any sauce and the Love burgers and waffle fries were lukewarm. We also had to wait quite a long time for it to arrive. We suspected this may all have been due to it being the end of the day on a sunny bank holiday weekend, but still £25 for two meals certainly isn't cheap, especially when Leon quality is usually much better.

After being invited back as an apology from Leon, we gave it another go and what a difference. The manager was really friendly and went out of her way to make sure that we were happy. The burgers and fries were hot and freshly cooked, with plenty of flavor. The burgers also had more toppings than last time as I think some of these had been missed off or perhaps they had run out. We also didn't have to wait as long and we were updated on how long our order would take.

I think the difference in quality of food and service would probably make me think twice about visiting Leon at the end of a particularly busy day again, however for an afternoon meal, I will certainly call in again. Thank you again to the manager who ensured we had a good experience and to the helpful customer...

I read a lot about Leon as a company and how there food was a refreshing addition to the motorway services scene, so I was eager to give it a go. We stopped at Magor services the other side if the bridge just into Wales and my wife had a meat free burger and I had a chicken burger. The picture of the burger did not relate to what I actually recieved in any shape or form. I like the filling of a burger to match the diameter of the bun so how a small triangular piece of very tasty chicken I might add, fit the diameter of a 5" bun I shall never know. It needed two to three pieces back to back to make a square this would have been a lot better and reduced the amount of sloppy filling that was used to fill the empty spaces up either side of the small triangle of chicken. This made eating this, very unpleasant messy and in need of a knife and fork let alone 5 napkins. Although this had all the makings off a great tasting burger it fell really short on the presentation and practicalities of being a pleasant eating experience. My wife said her burger was OK but had a long way to go to match a Burger King plant based burger. So a bit of work to do guys before I would eat here...

Update to last review. Chicken and grains salad was heavily mustard flavoured (which I dislike), the chicken was reheated and dry. The salad greens and grains were fine. The flat white coffee was delicious, but at £12.69 for both is very expensive. See last photo.

The first time I’ve eaten at the Leon fast food chain. My rice box was undoubtedly very good for me - plenty of greens, a few soybeans, a little bit of chicken and beetroot, but not much flavour. The lattice chips were only lukewarm - again, lacking in flavour. The alioli mayo, which I hoped would pep everything up was disappointing… Could hardly taste the garlic. The coleslaw was completely inedible… Strongly tasted of mustard, and nothing else! Desperately need to change this recipe! The box for a child was fine but hugely expensive at £5. However, the coffee – a flat white – was the best I’ve ever tasted. Will definitely go back again for...
