About Charcoal Pit

On St Helens Rd in Bolton, Charcoal Pit is a kebab shop serving the donner naan, donner pizza, and the Kobedha naan alongside chicken tenders, chicken kebab, and wings. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, and regular customers are often served by shorthand, with staff confirming a choice like the donner naan before it's made. The menu runs through pizza and fries as well, covering the wider kebab shop range beyond the naans. Food is prepared to order rather than pre-plated, and the counter handles both eat-in requests and takeaway. No reservations are taken, and the format stays centred on quick ordering rather than table service.

Customer Review Summary

Cold, late deliveries recur as the main complaint: one diner waited an hour for food that arrived cold with stale chips and a burnt cheeseburger, and was only offered a replacement burger another hour later with no other compensation; another describes food ordered at 9pm turning up at 11:30 stone cold and inedible. One reviewer also reports chicken tenders far smaller than expected for the price, and separately describes an unhygienic scene behind the counter, including staff not wearing gloves.

    “they are very rude and don’t answer their phone even though they say that they close at 11:30. So I went to the takeaway and it was not busy at all there was no customers in the shop. They were just sat down talking I was very shocked that they are not answering their phone even though nobody is in the shop . I ordered my food and the desk was so dirty and greasy and it smelled very bad in the shop, they weren’t wearing gloves after I saw one of the staff cleaning their nose and not washing their hands before touching the pizza. I have never seen such poorly behaviour at a takeaway. I have never complained about any takeaway or anything but this was very bad, so I am just letting you know that their work environment is VERY POORLY!!”
