i must say i think they need to back off on the mountains of fry's they generously give you! the fork/spoon combo struggles to stab and hold one of the many many fries i had to choose from ! next is the mini corn on the cob.is there a course you need to go on to get the thing open ? lastly the menu has got enormous and hard to know what's what with all the daft names.takes longer to read it and make a choice than to eat it. trying too hard kentucky.see you in 6 months maybe.rant over

Would you have preferred just the one frie?

Back off on the fries? Why would anybody want less for their money?

Yes, OP would have preferred one fry when ordering fries.

I like the fact you get a decent amount of food for your money at KFC at least you feel you have got something for your money and you aren't left with loads of sauce or gravy after dunking the fries as you have plenty to dunk.

Also why is a good choice a bad thing surely its good to have variety that way most people can be catered for as there is good chance there will be something they like on the menu.

Only thing I will agree on is the corn on the cob wrapping it is the most fiddly thing ever I just want to get into my corn and hate fighting with it.

One last point why are you using the fork/spoon thing for your fries half the fun is grabbing them with your fingers only thing I use the fork/spoon thing for is if there has been beans ordered as a side.

The family bucket is great value at KFC - me & my two drinking chums often share one when we've been out on the ale.

For what it costs, we'd spend that each at McDonalds & still not be as full.

their gravy is delicious

KFC is definitely one of the more filling fast foods, but have to disagree on the fries, i never seem get enough! The portion is much bigger in the other chicken shops.

The only think I use the fork/spoon thing for is the coleslaw and beans, everything else is eaten with your fingers.

I used to eat a family bucket on my own, but not these days.

People struggling with sporks. Don't hurt yourselves.

UK-small bargin bucket is £9.99? in Egypt it was (in 2007) £3.50 now thats a bargin!

The UK is a rip off. Dominos large pizzas in the US cost £5, yet over here the greedy bastards charge £14.99.

KFC is my one fast food guilty pleasure! You really do get value for money and I'm always stuffed after a blowout there.

i don't think KFC actually expect you to spork the chips, and you sort of have to get your hands dirty with fried chicken anyway, you might as well eat everything with your hands, it is fast food at the end of the day.

It just seems wrong that KFC in the UK offers fries. The only sides you should be getting at KFC are these, this and this.

Deep-fried chicken and scones doesn't really translate as you cross the pond..

Biscuits are not scones.. they're much lighter and don't have cream or eggs (and far less sugar).

I will stick to the fries. The 3 items you just showed me look horrendous.

I don't eat in these places very often but of all the plastic fast food outlets I actually don't mind KFC food that much, however I do have a few gripes, mainly to do with the service and how incredibly tight fisted they are.

1) it's supposed to be a fast food place so how come every outlet i've ever been in you end up walking in and having to stand in a que of about ten people who've been there for the last 10 minutes waiting to get served. When you eventually arrive at the counter and get to place your order they ask you to take a seat and wait till they bring it over to you. I swear this has happened every time in every kfc i've been in. It's supposed to be fast food. If i'm gonna have to wait 15 mins to que up get served then wait for my food, I may as well go to a Wetherspoons. At least i'll get a proper meal and not some plastic rubbish on a paper plate. It's probably cheaper too and more comfortable to sit in and they don't charge you extra for ketchup.

2) I absolutely can't stand multi million pound businesses that are so friggin tight arsed when it comes to allowing you a second tiny sachet of ketchup then insist on charging you 20p for an extra thimble of sauce like it's on sodding rations. They do this in Morrissons cafe too when it's actually cheaper to walk into the store and buy a full bottle of own brand ketchup for 35p and take it back to your table. Someone somewhere is taking the p**s. Are they really that hard up?

3) Their drinks are always warm as they never bother to put ice in them and you have to practically plead with them for it for which you get the filthy look of 'how dare you inconvenience me.' Again scrimping for the sake of some frozen water. How tight can you get?

4) I went in with my baby boy and asked for some boiled water to warm his milk bottle with. The jobsworth refused to give me any on health and safety grounds and said it was company policy not to hand out boiling water, yet said they'd be quite prepared to sell me a piping hot cup of tea for 99p and he'd conveniently leave the teabag out. I had no option but to buy a cup of tealess tea as my son needed his milk. So they can't give out boiling hot water but it's ok if they sell it you? I kid you not, the idiot said to me as he handed me the 99p cup of hot water minus the teabag, 'help yourself to milk and sugar!' He should count himself very lucky he still has all his teeth.

5) Until very recently they refused to accept cards. They have only recently redeemed themselves by finally dragging the company into the 21st century. Although the last time I went in it took them 5 minutes to get it working after firstly trying to accuse me of having a dodgy card. I don't think so. It's worked perfectly everywhere else i'd been that day.

6) Just like the sauce they also ration serviettes too. They never seem to have any out front. They're always hidden behind the counter and asking for more is like Oliver asking for more porridge. MORE! Are you serious! You want a second serviette AND a second sachet of sauce! The cheek of it!

7) No matter what time of day you walk in or how busy they are there's always tables littered with someone elses leftover rubbish which I end up having to clear away. Just because they put bins out for people to clear their rubbish away doesn't mean the staff can stand around chatting and be excused from doing any cleaning up. That's partly what they get paid for.

I've just qued up for 10 minutes and paid over £7 for a paper plate of plastic food, had to pay 40p extra for 2 more dribbles of ketchup and a warm Pepsi and practically had to begg you for some more serviettes and before I can even attempt to sit down and eat my food I first have to clean the table and wipe the seat. Do I look like I have a badge saying 'cleaner' written on it?

I'd prefer mash and gravy over fries any day.

I find most of what you say untrue, i used to go to kfc quite a lot school days, if any place is busy its going to take time and with KFC chicken its going to take time to make everything for everything they offer. sauce issue fine its store dependant but they tend to more tight about it depending on what you buy, most fast food ALWAYS put ice in the drinks to take up room how on earth you managed to get it without it AND warm is beyond me. The hot water thing is easily understandable in the age we live in.

Plastic food? typical thing to say when you get bad service "food was shit anyway" but you know you love it!

Where/when was that?, last time i was there they were about the same price as here, maybe a little cheaper but not much.

Just checked online and they are slightly cheaper in the U.S. but certainly not the differential quoted here. A standard priced pizza there is about £12.

Sounds like you do

We have different tastes in the UK. If you ever come over and have a Doner Kebab you will realise.
