Quick info
About Top Stop
Top Stop is a pizza takeaway at 3 Botchergate in Carlisle, where the menu runs from pizza to doner kebabs and a mixed wrap. The kebabs come in chicken or lamb, with salad and chilli sauces. Salad and sauce are packed in separate packages, so each part of the order stays apart until it is eaten. Chips are served alongside the kebabs and the other mains. The shop is standing room only, with seats kept just for people waiting on their orders.

Customer Review Summary
Kebabs come up most. One reviewer calls it the best they have eaten, with portions so large they feel full before finishing. Pizza splits opinion: one reviewer found it the best in a while, not rubbery or greasy, quick to arrive and good value, while another found it flavourless. Another praises delivered hot dishes arriving hot, courteous staff who know the menu, and a shop that is standing room only, with seats just for waiting on orders. Complaints outnumber the praise. Reviewers describe frozen chips, an undercooked bun, and dry, tasteless chicken, plus a chicken kebab that seemed to be lamb. Two report rude staff, one after a request to separate a mixed wrap was refused with no resolution, another after being told the fryer was not on for chips even though others' were already cooking. Others dislike kebab salad and sauce split into five packages. One doner order arrived without chilli sauces or salad, and the driver promised to bring them never turned up.

“Flavourless pizza. Very disappointed. It's seemingly quite difficult to get a decent pizza in Carlisle.”

“Wonderful takeout and delivery. I keep retuning to eat the food. The shop itself is pretty much standing room only. There are places to sit but just to wait on you order. The food is incredibly good. Everything I've ordered from here has been wonderfully done. When ordered for delivered hot dishes were hot, salid was cold. The service is exceptional Everybody that works there is courteous and knows their menu well.”

“Chips were still frozen, bun was also undercooked. Absolutely trash output from an establishment that is supposed to serve chips on an extremely frequent basis. Disgusting.”
- Mark
“Ordered chicken but it clearly was lamb or something else.. Also plastic everywhere. Why not just put the salad and sauce on the kebab and not in 5 packages? Thanks”
- Colette Cox
“Bought 2 doner kebabs, when we got home opened the 2 boxes to see they had not put in the chilli sauces or salad. I rang to tell them, and asked if a delivery driver could bring them to us? After a long discussion they said it would take around 45 mins for the driver to bring them, the driver never turned up. £15 for 2 plain kebabs”
