to think that KFC should do better than this?

[Fran23]

My local paper printed a horrific story about conditions in KFC this week (here: //www.falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/11343184.Blood__grease__and_filthy_flooded_floor_closes_Falmouth_KFC/?ref=mr) - how can such a big chain get away with this? Does anyone here take their brood to KFC, and if so is it just my local branch with these problems?

The only reason I go is the wicked zinger box meal
^^ Me too. Plus the staff are much more smiley than McDonalds'.

They deliver in Egypt as well Laymizz, as do MacDonalds. I frequently thank god they don't do it here or that would be the end of me.

[Laymizzrarb]

I don't have a KFC within 3-4 miles, and I don't drive. If only they did delivery like they do in Thailand and Malaysia.....that would be much better...

[CorporateRockWhore]

Smiles I probably would if I had ever set foot in a Nandos!

[MorphineDreams]

Ours is spotless praise the lorddd because I love it.

[Smilesandpiles]

All they sell is chicken, and the chicken they do sell is rank. I've no idea how that place still exists!

You could say that about Nando's.

[Smilesandpiles]

Of course KFC could do better - they could deliver. [angy]

My local KFC has thick protective acrylic at the counters, like bulletproof glass. That is reason enough for us to not eat there. Did get a bucket there once years ago and it was more like a bucket of grease with bits of chicken.

[SistersOfPercy]

Don't tar them all with the same brush, as Frank says this is a franchise and you'll get good and bad across the brand.

My friend works in my local, she loves her job. She's not a kid and neither are the majority of the staff. She tells me the place is spotlessly clean, the staff incredibly well treated and she looks forward to going to work every day (she came out of a horrible job to work there). The giveaway is she will happily eat there.
I've eaten there many times and been fine.

The hygiene issue aside, they abuse their chickens in the most horrific way. Humane slaughter, okay, people eat meat. But apparently KFC suppliers have been known to often whack the chicken off a wall until it's dead. :(

[Fran23]

Helly Ifffy! I think the Falmouth KFC is probably just a really good advert for the joys of home cooking!!

[Purplepoodle]

There's some good and some bad. There's two I would eat at in my area as the kitchen is very open and they are constantly cleaning tables/floors. The others are just filthy and would not go in them

[Iffy2014]

Fran, hello my fellow Falmouthian

I saw this in the Packet too. I must admit it's disgusting, but not surprising from our KFC. The couple of times I've gone in there it's always been filthy looking. And they've had historic issues in that building since they opened. Luckily, we live in a place with much better restaurants and take-outs! (Though yes, this franchise should be doing better)

They don't salt the chips but the chicken is fried, covered in mayo in the burgers.
The breaded chicken has got spices on it which make you thirsty and then there's the gravy which is fatty.
It's very fatty/greasy which will make you thirsty.
I like the chicken on the bone with the skin off tbh so I just get that with corn and gravy, I think it's probably better to eat that then minced beef burgers in sweet buns like in MCDonalds, but that's my opinion.

Last time our family had a KFC we all woke with a raging thirst in the night....must be so full of salt!

[expatinscotland]

That's why I never go to KFC, and know quite a few others who don't due to stinginess with ketchup and napkins.

[Mordirig]

I used to get told off for giving out more than 2 sachets of sauce per meal!
I have great customer service and had a nose to nose argument with my team leader about how it was better to spend an extra 5-10p per every other customer on an extra sauce packet to keep them happy than to have a wave of disgruntled customers at the counter blocking new customers because they wanted a few more packets and disrupting the service all round.
He flipped out when he realised I was putting sauce and salt and wet wipes in with drive through orders! Told me I was wasting money, they never drive back for things like this blah blah.

[Honeymoonmummy]

Our local KFC was recently in newspaper for undercooked chicken (per council inspection following complaint). cheshire.

[expatinscotland]

I never go to KFC. All very stingy with condiments, napkins.

[ChunkyPickle]

Ugh - we just had KFC from one that just opened near us (perhaps the same one vehicle) - I didn't go in so I've no idea of conditions, but the food was awful, so I don't feel I'm missing much by not going again.

If I want junk food I'll go 200 metres up the road to the Macdonalds (which I see them cleaning all the time so I think isn't too bad.

[YoungBritishPissArtist]

It's a dutty fast food place that people fall into at 4am!

[settingsitting]

Sounds like management have a big problem.

[aprilanne]

its in scotland and the place starts with F.
