A large McDonald's restauraunt located in Rawtenstall town centre, it is a rather large location with a drive-thru which is much more spacious and welcoming than most, including a small outdoor seating area (I wouldn't want to sit there while the drive-thru is busy, but they have tried to make it nice) which will likely be in operation again from April.
I do think the location could be better too in terms of access, at busy/peak times, it can block transport going in and out of the town due to being just off a busy road and roundabout, which can cause traffic to back-up so that hasn't been thought out very well either, and the exit from the drive-thru isn't straight-forward, it seems they've tried to make it look nicer than actually be practical.
Service is pretty much your typical McDonald's, a little rushed, impersonal and the food isn't great overall.
3* - OK, I wouldn't really come here if I had any other choice, a nice addition to the town but not great overall. read more
