Need to sort out the Hedge End… Need to sort out the Hedge End Southampton branch once and for all, close them down. They are patently USELESS as they CONSTANTLY omit things from orders and do not care about their customers being ripped off. How many WHOLE rashers of streaky bacon in a flatbread ???? They treat their customers like morons and think we don't know and don't care about what we're paying our good money for. If they intend to persist in ripping their customers off SHUT THE PLACE DOWN and let some other business that CARES about standards take over the premises. 'P up brewery'.

The Horror of Horrors: A Disheartening Encounter at McDonald’s It is with a heavy heart and a disappointed palate that I recount the horror of horrors that befell me at McDonald’s, a place where I once found solace in the form of a comforting meal. My anticipation for a delightful feast was met with a ghastly surprise – the ‘Sus Burger’. This burger, a far cry from the golden standards set by McDonald’s, was an affront to the very essence of fast food. The patty, which should have been the star, was instead an overcooked specter of its former self. Each bite was a reminder of the potential that was lost in flames. The vegetables, a mere garnish to the tragedy, were a wilted representation of neglect. The lettuce, which should have added a refreshing crunch, was as limp as a forgotten memory. The tomatoes, devoid of any semblance of ripeness, were a pale imitation of what they promised to be. And the bun – that cornerstone of any respectable burger – was a stale, disheartening bookend to the sad narrative within. It was supposed to be soft and yielding, yet it crumbled under the slightest pressure, much like my expectations. This was not the McDonald’s experience that I had come to cherish. This was a culinary misstep, a horror of horrors that unfolded with each regrettable bite. I urge McDonald’s to heed this tale of woe and steer back to the path of deliciousness that has charmed millions. Let not the ‘Sus Burger’ be the downfall of a beloved institution.

Used to be good back in the day Used to be good back in the day, but not anymore. Prices are ridiculous for what they give you, never hot and fresh and each location varies in quality. Just another example of fast-food companies saying they're improving what they do to make it better when in actuality, it couldn't be any worse. Breakfast would be about the best thing going for them at this point but the burger business is terrible.

3 stars.. 3 stars... because half of my interaction with McDo is good (delicious, fresh, good service) while half is bad (missing item in order, late delivery, etc.).

Served food that needs cutlery but there is no functional cutlery to eat it with? Serving hatch: The process for waiting at the hatch was confusing: instructions on receipt indicated to wait at collection point 1, but the collection point was not numbered or advertised as the collection point either. There was also no staff visible behind the counter and it also says my item was ready for collection for many minutes before a member of staff appeared with the food, which made me wonder if I was in the wrong place. Staff: No problems with the staff themselves: seemed nice and polite. No cutlery issue: There’s something that makes my blood boil however: serving food that requires cutlery to eat it and being given very soft cardboard cutlery to attempt to eat it with. Of course the fork breaks every time you use it and you have to leave your food to go back to the counter and ask for more cutlery, which inevitably breaks again. Either: serve food that requires cutlery with cutlery that works OR don’t serve food that requires cutlery, Honestly, if we aren’t allowed plastic cutlery then simply don’t serve the food.
