Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split. One praises a big fish and chips portion, and another calls the deep pan vegetable pizzas really good, though the wait was long. Complaints include a greasy donner kebab in pitta that a worker refused to replace, dry burnt chops, and a Margherita pizza arriving with pepperoni. One reviewer reports feeling sick afterwards and no water for hand-washing in the toilets.

“I order from here nearly everyday and spend hundreds a month, food has always been great. But the last time I ordered a donner kebab in pitta, the whole thing felt like it was dipped in grease, so much that the pitta was soaked with it. I order this everytime and I know how it should be normally, so I had to throw it away. Took pictures and showed one of the workers next time I went and he refused to give me a new one. He started arguing with me telling me thats normal when another one of his colleague agreed with me. I couldn't believe it, over a few quid they just lost hundreds of pounds a month from a daily customer. They have no standards, I put pictures there for proof and you can see a tissue i used for the oil is soaked. I will never go there again”

“We went to order it because the delivery time was too long. The staff aren't over friendly but are efficient. We had deep pan vegetable pizzas which were really good. Probably the best I've ever tried. The wait was long but I suppose that's because it's cooked from scratch.”

“One of the worse branches in been to. Food was disgusting. Chops were dry and burnt. You can see black stuff in chips. Horrible service too. I wish I could give them 0 rating. Also no water for hand-wash in toulets. Horrible Horrible. Felt sick afterwards. I think hygiene need looking into too.”

“My husband came to get food and ordered at 5:50pm. He ordered a large chips and Margherita pizza with sweetcorn on time. When he gets home I open the pizza to see pepperoni which I DO NOT EAT at all and was not what we ordered!! …”
