McDonald’s has been criticised for turning one of its restaurants into a “pre-vandalised” industrial “ghetto”.

Visitors to the fast food giant’s newly renovated premises in Redhill, Surrey, are certainly not “lovin’ it” and have branded the new restaurant just a little too street for their refined tastes.

The industrial style interior decor is slightly more factory than fast food outlet, which has got up a lot of locals’ noses. It contains prints of metal rivets and slogans such as “Peace”.

When the restaurant closed for two weeks for redecoration, locals were expecting something rather more sophisticated than graffiti -covered walls.

Many took to social media to complain about their beloved McDonald’s new look.

“The new McDonalds in Redhill seems to have come pre-vandalised,” said Tyler Welmans.

Twitter user Lunatic Ninja wrote: “Blimey, a near-perfect fit with Redhill’s regeneration push. ‘Welcome to the ghetto, may I take your order please?’”

Local Simon Pinto said: “It doesn’t really give the right impression.”

However, McDonald’s said it was surprised by the negative feedback, adding that it had received many compliments from customers about the restaurant’s new decor.
