There's a good reason for this. Your advertising is infringing on a protected trademark, and is genuinely causing confusion among the public about whether you are serving the real product or your own interpretation:

KFC NIGHT (finger lickin' good)

You've used their name, their logo, and their trademarked menu items -- in fact, it's textbook trademark violation, and the trademark rules exist for exactly this reason.

I'm not just here to be a naysayer -- when I first saw your advertisement in November, I assumed that you would be serving genuine KFC items. Had Castro not asked his clarifying question and I'd turned up to be served MFC instead of KFC, I'd feel like I was misled and I'd be more than a little disappointed.

My suggestion is this: make some kick-ass fried chicken and get a reputation for making kick-ass fried chicken. Then people will seek out MFC instead of KFC, and not feel like they've gotten the bait-and-switch treatment.

Or are you just one of those people who think the rules don't apply to them?

Haha, fair enough.

It has now been changed on the forum to MFC and hopefully that makes it clear that we are serving up our own fried chicken recipes.

I hope that this thread doesnt turn into another discussion about copyrights and trademarks

Hope a few of you can come along to sample it

In a word: awesome! Sandwich was fantastic and the sides (bbq beans, corn and mashed potatoes) were also very good. It was my first time out there and I found the pub staff very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to the next chicken night. When might that be btw?

It was my first time at McArthurs as well! The food was fab! I loved the chicken popcorn and mash with gravy -- YUMMM!!
I was there with my husband and a good friend, both of them had a great time and really liked McArthurs as well!

Re: MFC Night (McArthurs Fried Chicken)

I was honestly was turned off by it being a KFC night. Had you advertised it was a Fried Chicken etc etc, I would have been far more interested. I love fried chicken, but haven't touched KFC poultry since I was 17(I knew personally a board member-no more details). So I immediately overlooked it. Good to see it was a "grammatical" error.
