Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split, but most centre on cold, wrong or poorly made takeaway orders, especially through delivery apps. Complaints name a dry 10-piece bucket of fried chicken with cold fries, a lamb donner in naan with stale bread, and a pizza that arrived raw in the middle with toppings sliding off. Several describe mixed-up orders, including a large veg pizza and two guava drinks instead of the meat pizza and mango drink requested, and a two-piece chicken breast meal that came with a leg. Rude phone responses recur, and one reviewer says their number was blocked after complaining. Others mention slow service in an empty shop and a server leaving chips to go cold. One reviewer notes there is no seating or restroom. On the positive side, one diner praised the fish and chips and a chicken doner on naan, and another calls the food fine for the price with good deals. One reviewer got a refund through the delivery app after sending photos.

“Absolute legend, Ali. Very polite person and well mannered. looked after the order, and always good vibes at Big Johns. Proper spot”

“It's a Big John's - what do you expect?! The pictures in the bio for this Google review page are misleading, this store has no seating. It's a pick up spot for takeaways, basically. There are always good deals going and, for the price, the food is OK. Staff are fine, I suppose. If I was earning as little as them and had to wear those uniforms I probably wouldn't smile that much either.”

“They were sooooo slow I waited 20 minutes for 2 beef burgers and the shop was empty as well. The guy took my order but then spent 10-15 minutes talking to his coworker then finally went to make my order which only took 5 minutes in total and there was no apology for the amount of time it took to make it. Horrible experience don’t come if you want “Fast” food”

“I ordered from the Hagley Rd branch. I ordered a large meat pizza, small veg pizza and 2 drinks one mango one guava. They gave me large veg, small meat, and 2 guava drinks. I ordered from just eat, complained and sent evidence to just eat. They got me a refund. An hour later a lady, who is a staff member, calls me and spoke to so rudely. She was pretty heated up saying she prep the order basically trying to accuse me of lying. I told her to calm down and I've got evidence if she really wants she can come and take the veg pizza which I've still got. I also told her I'm in a teams meeting so she can check her evidence she claims she has and call me after 9. Nobody called. I got the Hagley Rd branch num from Google and called. The man I spoke was even more rude. I was basically told to put the phone down,and that he doesn't deal with orders or complaints. I said why are all big johns members of staff so rude and he said madam I'm speaking good English I'm not rude. Hoe childish. Never ordering from their again.”
