“Lovely food. Had pizza and pasta. Can’t fault it one bit!”
- Jennah
“Always had an okay experience with this takeaway, the food was always nice and is always something we look forward to on a Saturday. However, we had called today to order and when we gave them our postcode which we had to repeat three times, there was silence and the girl on the phone said to one of her colleagues “shall i hang up” and then hung up. It was quite upsetting and has put us off ordering from there again.”
- Brendan Duffy
“Ordered and collected two kebabs and a garlic bread with cheese. All beautiful and on time. Absolutely delicious. Thank you guys. Keep up the great service!! Much appreciated xx”

“Our takeaway experience on Valentine’s Night wasn’t the best, which was disappointing as I’ve always really liked this brand. Unfortunately, both my starter and main arrived incorrect the first time. That said, the issue was resolved quickly and the correct food was delivered not long after. I was given the original order free of charge, which I appreciated — thank you for that. The replacement food arrived quickly, and although I saved it for the next day, it was very nice. The lady I spoke to on the phone was also very polite and helpful, so thank you to her. I’ll still give 5 stars for the effort and the quality of the food — just a shame about the initial mix-up. 😊”

Customer Review Summary
Pizza draws the most mentions, with reviewers calling it fresh, tasty and excellent, including a custom pizza. Close behind is the mixed kebab, praised for plenty of beef and chicken and a chilli sauce with a great kick, along with the pasta, where diners choose spaghetti, penne or tagliatelle. One reviewer calls the tagliatelle carbonara delicious and urges others to try the homemade tiramisu. Garlic bread with cheese and kebabs collected on time also earn praise, and one longtime patron of the main restaurant rates the food well above a typical takeaway. Several describe the counter staff and owner as lovely, polite and helpful, and one parent was given his son a free drink after football training in the rain. Service has two recorded lapses. A caller who repeated a postcode three times heard the staff member ask a colleague whether to hang up, then the line went dead. Another received the wrong starter and main on Valentine's night, though the replacement came quickly and the original order was given free of charge.
