“Good food but they take so much time to get it to you, you think they are making it fresh then you get the food and its just about warm honestly if it wasn't for the sauces it wouldn't be any better then your average dixyz. If you want to see some entertainment wqtching ppl tryingnto avoid the massive crater of a pot hole outside is crazy. Don't forget to put your reg in as you will be fined if using their car park”

“Absolutely disgusting customer service. Waited over 1 hour 15 minutes for Uber eats order, came with missing food missing straws and was completely cold. Rang to complain and was passed around to 3 people to be told "oh can you come and collect it" what a joke.”

“I’ve been really disappointed with Roscoes lately and unfortunately I won’t be going back. The food quality has gone downhill quite noticeably. What used to be a great place for a decent meal now feels inconsistent and lacking in flavour and care. On top of that, the service is just as bad. Staff come across as uninterested and unhelpful, and there’s very little attention given to customers once you’re inside. Overall, both the food and service are well below the standard they used to be. It’s a shame to see, but it really needs improving before things get any worse.”

“what an experience! I decided to treat myself to their combo with the chicken burger and thigh piece. Because nothing says 'value' like paying premium prices for toddler-sized portions that leave you hungrier than when you started. The chicken thigh? Masterpiece of culinary engineering. They didn't just give me one piece – oh no, they thoughtfully split it into TWO glorious halves for me. Truly generous. It's like they looked at that single thigh and said, 'You know what this needs? A divorce.' Now I have two tiny pieces instead of one slightly less tiny piece. My wallet is crying tears of joy at this incredible value.”

“Used to work by this place a few years ago. Back then I would recommend it to every single person I'd speak with. Seriously best chicken ever. Ordered for delivery for the nostalgia feel...it was OK, nothing special, wings were good, chicken was actually quite bland, and very small portions. Hopefully they can find solution for this”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split, but the sharpest complaints center on orders arriving wrong, cold, or late. Several describe delivery orders that came cold or incomplete, with one reporting missing food and straws after a long wait and being passed between staff, and another saying fries tasted hours old. Portion size draws repeated criticism, including a chicken thigh combo split into two small pieces and a family bucket meal judged pricey for what it was. Mistakes at the counter recur: a Mexican burger swapped for a fillet burger, mash in place of beans, and a burger missing its bun, which one reviewer said was resolved with a free burger meal. One reviewer describes a manager who refused to give his name when a wrong flavour was reported. On the positive side, some praise chicken that is tender inside and crispy outside, good wings, and a mango drink with more flavour than Rubicon. Others say quality has slipped from what it used to be. One reviewer mentions a pothole outside and car park fines for not entering a registration.
