KFC in Athlone

DonJose

I don't know how anybody can eat in KFC, any KFC I've been to has been filthy, the following will keep me away from KFC forever!!!

KFC has been fined almost £19,000 after a cockroach was spotted eating a chip in one of the fast food chain's busiest UK restaurants. The insect was on a counter near takeaway boxes and tongs used to serve chicken at a branch in London's Leicester Square, an environmental health officer said.

The Westminster City Council inspector also saw a mouse, flies and dried chicken blood on the floor, City of Westminster Magistrates' Court heard.

Leave the poor fella alone, jesus only knows plenty of Athlone people drive to Galway to get pissed on scabby pints of ****e they could get in any pub at home. Not exactly the same thing I know, but the same principle.

Well that is not true. For one thing, Galway has a number of beer bars and one brewpub meaning you can get beer in Galway that you can not get anywhere in Westmeath let alone Athlone.

The beer I am talking about are real Irish beers and not foreign owned breweries like Guinness, Carlsberg etc.

That said, Athlone does actually boast the only physical homebrew shop in the country

Okay well if you're going to go there, then do you realise that one of those real Irish beers (Galway Hooker) is actually brewed only a few miles up the road in Roscommon? Also, there are also a couple of bars in Athlone that serve most of the beers you'll get in the Bierhaus or any of those beer bars in Galway.

Anyway I digress. Aren't we meant to be discussing Chicken?? :pac:

Indeed I know all about Galway hooker. Brewer Aidan is a top guy and gave me a free T-shirt and pint of their new Pilsner at Easterfest in Cork.

What bars in Athlone serve Irish Craft beer? I do not know of one that even serves Galway Hooker even though it is brewed up the road
That said, Athlone is a bit out of my way so I rarely go there to go drinking.

And back on track, I like KFC (in small doses) myself and was very surprised to hear there is none in Galway.

To the OP, your choice where you get and how far you travel, and negative comments against you to be ignored, glad you enjoyed your trip.
In general, I like my treats and KFC were always up there when abroad however have to agree with the general sentiment towards this particular branch, been there twice as I thought maybe the first time was a bad day and I have to say everything was rank, perhaps there are better words in the English language but I think rank summarises it nicely.
My criticism is towards the KFC not my fine fellow boardsie;)

I don't think KFC is that good, but their corn on the cob is the best thing ever!
