McDonald's

You know that feeling when you need something fast, familiar, and won't destroy your wallet? This Clumber Street branch gets the basics right in a way that'll surprise you. The counter staff move with proper efficiency, your Big Mac actually looks like the picture, and crucially, they remember to put the gherkins in when you ask for extra. It's nothing fancy - standard McDonald's fit-out with the usual red and yellow assault on your retinas. But it's reliably clean, the chips are properly salted, and the coffee machine isn't perpetually broken like at half the other branches in town. When you're stumbling out of a late one or need to feed the kids something they'll actually eat without a fight, this does the job without any nasty surprises.
