Chain Restaurants

The take away Restaurant we all love!

Advantages: Great fast service. Great tasting food
Disadvantages: Not the most healthy of places to eat

Whether it is healthy or not, everyone loves McDonalds. From the moment you walk in, even in rush hour with a large que, you are never waiting long before you have been served and when you are, the food is hot and freshly made. The Menu In McDondalds doesn't have much variety, its mostly all chicken or beef burgers, yet there is still just enough to please everyone. Vegetarian options include fruits and salad, insuring everyone is happy. The Pound ...
...each, such as the new "Mayo Chicken" which is very similar to the McChicken Sandwich, only with a different mayonaise sauce and a slightly smaller portion of chicken. Also, the pound saver menu includes medium fries, and that old favourite, the cheeseburger. The food in McDonalds is always of excellent quality, and although it's not the most healthy option by far, it is fine occasionally when in a hurry and suffering from those hunger pains. McDonalds ...

Have you been to a Harvester before?

Advantages: Value for money, friendly service, ok food
Disadvantages: Annoying children everywhere, not much atmosphere, not very special

...have just been to a Harvester for the first time in years, my boyfriend and I have just moved house, to Bristol and there is a Harvester less than 2 miles away. We took his grandparents and his mum. Harvester is your standard family pub/restaurant chain-nothing fancy but known as being good value for money and for offering standard British food. Apparently they have 160 outlets and the first pub opened in 1983. I would say that they are a bit like ...
...'have you been to a Harvester before?' First Impressions: We pulled into the large car pack in front of the Harvester, the pub is also well signposted. What I found interesting was that the building had been made in the style of an old mill, Harvester's seem to do this quite a lot in an attempt to appear more like an old, authentic pub. There is a small garden with benches for the summer to sit outside on (it was cold and rainy on our visit) and ...

KFC - Finger looking good, or is it?

Advantages: Good price, nice chicken.
Disadvantages: Chips are normally nasty, long queues, dirty tables to sit on.

...Another speciality of KFC is the bargain bucket and this is normally around £10 for which you will receive 8 pieces of chicken (cuts may vary), 4 chips and normally two side orders. There are different variations of the bucket meals and you might also get boneless chicken, popcorn chicken, mini fillet burgers, bottles of drink or even desserts such as vienetta and ice cream etc. You can sit down or take away your food to eat wherever you feel like ...
...the area. Overall KFC is a little hit & miss, the chicken is great, the chips aren't. I've never experienced any problems with the sides apart from beans being cold but these can always be reheated in the microwave if they are really bad. I am rating KFC 3/5 as the price is good, the chicken is but other factors such as cleanliness of the restaurant and how long I have to wait to order have dropped this down from what would have been a 5/5 rating. ...

Your sub - your way

Advantages: Cheap and fresh
Disadvantages: Too many people handling my sub!

...to explain what they are. Subway is a chain of sandwich restaurants. They are located all over the country and can be found in most towns. They basically sell fresh ingredients which they make up into sandwiches and salads for you as you wait. This means that you are able to choose exactly what you want in your order, and what you don't want too. One of their main lines is submarine sandwiches which you can buy in foot long or half a sub (as a 6 ...
...they have introduced a "Halal meats" line which is available in many of the bigger stores, look out for the signs in participating stores.. Many stores do breakfast wraps/subs and there are also all day snacks available such as mini sub toasties. Along with a wide range of meats, cheese, fish and vegetables, there are also some tasty sauces to add to your sub/salad just to finish it off. They also sell soft drinks and crisps/snacks too. The ingredients ...

Pizza Hut DELIVERY - Appaling , disrespectful Service

Advantages: Offers
Disadvantages: Order and delivery staff have no manners, nor respect for customers

...outrage, 5 minutes later, the Pizza Hut phoned me to say that they had realized my order was for collection, not delivery. I argued I had placed the order for delivery (but as I had already closed down my laptop and it was my first online order with Pizza Hut) I was not sure. The Pizza Hut employee insisted adamantly, that I had placed my order for collection, and he cheekily repeated and explained that if it said TO COLLECT, then it was for Collection, ...
...7.99, and he repeated that amount, so as to make me feel cheap for having ordered an offer. Well, I was surprised and upset, and although I suspected it was kind of a nasty joke, I could not be bothered to escalate the issue, and I was hungry, so I said that I was sorry if I had made a mistake in my order, but that please I needed it delivered. So after my pleading, he conceded that for this time he was going to deliver it, but not next time. I guess ...
