Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out courteous service at the counter and drive-through, such as being asked whether they want sugar or sauce with their hash browns, or what to add to an order. Breakfast also draws praise, with one early visitor enjoying porridge, a breakfast wrap and a bacon bun in a dining room described as immaculate. Another says staff do their best through busy night shifts, though waits can run long. Order accuracy is the recurring complaint. Reviewers describe missing items in delivery bags, half an order absent from the drive-through, food stone cold, a vanilla milkshake handed over instead of a banana one, and a request for water that took three attempts late at night. One reviewer says a manager was rude and dismissive and, as the only Black customer present, reports feeling uncomfortable, while crediting another employee for topping up a warm drink that had no ice. One reviewer advises checking the order before leaving, and a delivery customer says the manager offered only repeated apologies.

“A Special Thank You to Leonie – Manager We have visited many times, but this morning’s visit really stood out. After ordering our breakfast, we went to the collection window and were asked if we would like sugar for our drinks. I replied, “No, thank you, it’s sweet enough.” We were then asked if we would like any sauce with our hash browns. My wife and I both looked at Leonie, who was serving us, and said that this was the first time we had ever been asked about so many of the little condiment details. Leonie looked surprised, and we explained that we were genuinely happy to be asked. She then said that she was simply serving us in the way that she would like to be served herself. We completely agreed with her. It was such a simple thing, but that little bit of extra care and attention really stood out to us. In a world where good service can sometimes feel rushed, Leonie’s warmth and thoughtfulness made a real difference. We actually felt that a review was needed just to highlight such shining customer service. Thank you, Leonie, for making our morning and showing that sometimes it really is the little things that make a big difference. Thank you, Leonie! ⭐️ Manager – Monday 07/09/2026, approximately 10:30am”

“Check your order before leaving, sometimes they might forgot to put an item or more. Apart from that, good service.”

“Utterly useless! You wait in the drive through for a good 30-40 mins. You get handed your food and drive off, to get home and they’ve missed half the order, the food is stone cold. You go back and get the missing items (via drive through as all the uber drivers take up spaces) wait again, to get home and realise half the items you’ve just fetched are missing sauce, salad etc. they’re all plain? What the hell is this place?? Cold, expensive, plain food it is! What a waste of my time. Do better!”

“Apparently they put everything on the tray before bagging it up on the counter (so needs to be handled twice so it'll get colder and fries are touched), to make sure they got everything right.... Yet still gave me a vanilla milkshake instead of a banana one 🫠”

“Ordered food to be delivered from here. Food was missing again. Called McDonald's who advised I had to go through the delivery service and complain. It's not the delivery service at fault; it's this restaurant itself, The kitchen staff. It can't be hard to read the screen place food in a bag and seal the bag up then pass to a delivery driver. This has happened more than once now and I will not be ordering from here again. McDonald's manager didn't offer a solution just kept saying sorry totally useless.”
