Customer Review Summary
Cold food is the complaint reviewers raise most, with zinger box meals described as cold and soggy, boneless chicken one diner spat out, and a bucket called not crispy with soggy chips. Missing items come close behind. A variety bucket arrived without the bucket, family buckets went home without sides, and paid-for dips were absent until a complaint brought extras. Others report the store running out of gravy and mash, gravy substituted for a side of corn, and an advertised offer that staff said could not be applied at the till. One reviewer found the Stranger Things burger had a normal bun and barely any sauce. Several describe staff messing about, using phones, or greeting drive-through customers with little interest. One reviewer reports finding a scrubber thread in the chicken, and another says a refund was taken back days later. The one positive account describes hot, fresh food and gravy at a lunch collection, with staff who were lovely and apologetic about the wait for wings.

“Disgusting. KFC has really gone downhill. Never again. They had an offer advertised online, but I couldn’t get it because the staff member said there wasn’t a button on the till to apply it. What’s the point of advertising deals if customers can’t actually redeem them? 🤦♂️ it was a bucket of slop, not crispy, just full of grease and the chips was soggy. 🤢 :”

“Came in to collect lunch, Food was hot and fresh, as was the gravy. I ordered my food, was told that there would be a 10 minute wait for the wings, not a problem for me. Staff were lovely and apologetic about the wait.”

“Rotherham one was so much better that to a point it shows how poorly ran the Worksop one is. Worksop one i have always had an issue with multiple visits, ran out of gravy, ran out of mash, food is always cold the list goes on and they can never get it right. Something needs to change management wise because the rotherham one shows how well it could be run and enjoyable it could be. Got to a point i had try another site to make sure i liked KFC anymore, turns out Worksop is just poorly run store which is a shame as it’s my local…”

“They took my money which was obviously fine since I was making a purchase a couple days later they refunded me my 10.37 out of no where and today they took it back making me go in debt I am student and pretty poor so this was detrimental to my financial wellbeing and I am very upset since kfc has never let me down before. Can someone at customer service contact me since my classmates are going through the same thing .”

“Think I have just had one of the worst experiences of my life. Waiting for food for over 20 minutes for a meal for two people is absolutely insane to say that we were the only ones in there at the time. We arrived at around 9pm so it was very quiet when we arrived. The couple that had been served before us had been waiting 25 minutes. Shame for the rest of the people after us because they were probably there for hours. One star is one star too many for this review. The 5 members of staff that were visible to us in the kitchen were absolutely horrendous, they were all just messing about flicking each others hats off and spilling stuff over the floor which they all stood and had a good laugh about. And some of them were on their phones just not caring about any customers at all. Eventually we got the food, we were then told they didn’t have the side we had ordered so they had put a large gravy in instead. This is not what we ordered as my partner had ordered corn and does not like gravy. By this point we gave up trying and just said it was fine out of absolute exhaustion. They also then said they didn’t have any of the drink that we ordered. Why bother advertising this if you don’t have it? Then we checked the food and as suspected the dips that we had paid £1.20 for were missing which is an absolute disgrace after spending this money on them. We then complained about this and he gave us more than we had actually ordered which was fair but you could tell that he just didn’t want to deal with any of the complaints that he was receiving as there were people that ordered after us and were fed up as well due to the extensive wait times as there was little to no food coming out of the kitchen. When we then came to eat the food everything was luke warm going on cold. You would’ve expected that with the wait at least everything would’ve been fresh, which was clearly not the case. We had to physically spit some of the boneless chicken out because it was that bad.”
