One expects a certain degree of standard when buying food even from worldwide fast food chains like KFC
Unfortunately Crawley's Store ticks very few boxes. Starting with accessibility, if you happen to be wondering around the town centre it is ideal lunch time destination being just a few minutes walk from the main shopping centre. HOWEVER any other scenario location is almost impossible, parking is non existent for customers leaving you to use the towns pay and display car parks which for such a short stay can work out expensive and still a distance to walk.
Once you arrive in the shop first thing you WILL be greeted with is a Q, and very slow service by staff that in general do not know the menu they are serving. Once your order is placed you will join the rank of men & women waiting for there orders. This again can be a very long drawn out process with wait times averaging approx 10-15 mins
Finally after all the hassle parking, Q'ing, ordering & waiting you can finally eat.
Providing you actually received what you ordered (another major problem with this branch is the severe lack of concentration used when bagging up orders, I can't honestly say a time where I have not had to check the bag and remind them of things they forgot. And it's normally more than one item.)
Chicken: the main event so to speak, arrives warm at best dripping with grease. More often than not I find even when eating in the chicken or cold and very unappealing.
chips: not once have I ever been served hot chips! With a very bland flavour about them they are by far the worst part of the meal so much so I can safely say I have not actually eaten one of there chips for nearly two years
Drink: serving the ever popular drinks such as Pepsi etc I always find myself wondering how they manage to get everything so wrong, even the drinks they serve have lost all sense of respect as they come to u barely 3/4 full and as flat as a two week old bottle :/
To sum up Crawley's KFC really is a massive disappointment for one of my favourite fast food brands (for flavour at least) the entire experience begs the question,with all the time involved going to this fast food chain why would you not just go to a normal restaurant where the food is far more likely to be cooked properly, will have a more wide range in flavours, service should be better, undoubtedly healthier and most importantly will be enjoyable because that is the real reason we should be eating out! read more
