About KFC
The Kentucky Fried Chicken concept was introduced to Britain in 1965 when the first store opened in Preston. Since then, KFC has expanded its UK & Ireland restaurant network to its current level of over 700 locations, some company operated and some franchised. The achievement of excellent restaurant standards has also resulted in the British operation acting as a training base for many of the new KFC restaurants operating throughout Europe.
Halal summary
Authorized halal by an Islamic organization. KFC is running a halal trial a small number of stores in the London area, having worked with the Halal Food Authority (HFA) to understand the requirements involved in supplying and producing halal approved products. HFA has certified KFC's products in these stores, and the store environments, as halal. KFC has also ensured that the halal certified chicken would also meet the rigorous animal welfare standards employed in the UK, and has consulted leading animal welfare groups about this. KFC insists that all poultry is stunned before slaughter. HFA allows the use of a technique called 'stun-to-stun' - a pain free process that makes the animal insensible to pain and suffering. A verse is also recited from the Koran at the point of slaughter by an appropriate person and the poultry will not come into contact with non-halal meat at any point in the supply chain. KFC only buys high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from trustworthy suppliers, and this will not change.

Google Reviewer
GoogleKFC Loughborough at Regent Place Retail Park is currently running a Stranger Things promotion, which feels less like marketing and more like an accidental public service announcement. It’s oddly fitting, because several things here appear to exist in another dimension. Chief among them: the toilets, which seem to be permanently “out of order” in a way that suggests they vanished sometime around series one and were never seen again. Ordering food is also a journey into the upside down. Human interaction has been quietly retired, replaced by a firm sign telling you to use the self-service kiosks. Not “please”, not “if you’d like”, just a polite-but-menacing instruction. Staff are present, but only in the same way museum guards are present: visible, watchful, and absolutely not there to help you press buttons. The food is exactly what you’d expect from KFC, which is both comforting and faintly depressing. It arrives eventually, assuming the kiosk gods are pleased with your choices and don’t freeze halfway through payment, leaving you to start again while questioning your life decisions. All in all, it’s efficient in a dystopian, technology-first sort of way. If you enjoy fried chicken, retro TV tie-ins, and the sense that basic facilities are a mystery beyond human understanding, you’ll feel right at home. Just don’t need the loo, and don’t expect to speak to anyone who isn’t a touchscreen.
