We’ve been a few times over the past few months, at different times of the morning and evening—so we’ve seen the store at various levels of busy and quiet.
In the late mornings, staff have often left our coffee’s sitting for 15-20 mins until we ask about our order. They then say the kitchen is very busy and yet somehow a minute later, magically, out come our two coffees. How were the coffee’s already done if the kitchen is too busy to do them? They’ve been left to go cold and obviously ignored. That’s been pretty common, unfortunately.
We’ve also had multiple instances of food being left out of a takeaway order, so make sure to check before you leave. It’s a 50/50 chance that something will be forgotten or left off what you’ve asked for. And our orders are standard things. We don’t make any big or complex changes.
Also, we’ve had to sort of force the staff to talk to us when we have an issue as they tend to walk past or ignore you.
Basically, we’ve found first thing in the morning for coffee or a quiet breakfast to be the best experience here. It’s a very small restaurant and once it starts to get a little busy, it’s chaos.
It could really improve a lot and be so much better. At the moment, I’m really disappointed in this restaurant but it has a lot of potential.
Bottom line: right now it’s not the best McDonald’s experience you’re going to find in the midlands. But it does the job as long as you keep on top of any issues.
