KFC - The Kentucky "Fail" Chicken

As we said on our previous post on GBK, the group felt rightly so that our eating experience was now being left with crumbs on end and niche, dinner-only  joints on the other. Food chain were starting to fill in the horizon of lunch menus and it was indeed time to take drastic action by visiting one of the most known, most criticised, of the plastic food creators: KFC.

We all know too well the Colonel's Fried Chicken that has undergone radical changes in branding, colours, logo, acronyms and even music association. Nevertheless, first step inside only revealed a messy layout and patchy despite a bright red trying to cover a faded red from the 80s. Service probably quicker than McDonald's but food is served in bulky boxes which are half-empty. Seating area is uncomfortable and decor does not jump to the eyes as warm or inviting.

Food will not be of course top notch but, hey, it is a place to eat in Wimbledon and deserves a vote. Big Daddy burger per was ok. Zinger burger was sandwiched between buns that were tasteless and too thick. The new marketed sides are a total fail, too sweet and plasticky. It is recommended to stick to an original menu, with fried chicken, corn on the hob and fries - if is the sort of thing you enjoy.

We gave KFC a chance but it is a confirmed fail!

Our verdict is as follows:
Quality of Food        2.00
Hygiene                     1.50
Value for Money      3.00
Speed of Service       5.00
Quality of Service    2.75
Ambience & décor   2.00

KFC gets an overall rating of 54.2%
