Quick info
About Sunny Hotfood Takeaway
Sunny Hotfood Takeaway is a fish and chips takeaway on Ridley Rd in Carlisle, and the counter runs two menus side by side, so a fryer order and a wok order can land in the same bag. Recurring items include fish and chips, curry, chow fried rice, and chips with cheese and gravy. Payment is cash only, so it is worth checking your pockets before you set off. Customers walk in and order at the counter, or phone ahead, take a number, and collect. A wait is common. The takeaway opens daily in the evenings, and it operates under new owners and staff following a change of ownership.

Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply between regulars who praise the fish and chips and Chinese dishes and those who say standards dropped after a change of owners. Positive reviewers describe food that tastes fresh, great portion sizes, good value, and friendly, fast staff. One returned four times in three weeks, and another tried the Chinese food twice after reading bad reviews and found it delicious. The complaints are just as concrete and recur. Several mention soggy batter on the fish, and one adds that the fish was small and tasteless. Others describe a tasteless, bland curry, stodgy young chow fried rice made mostly with chicken, and an order of chips with cheese and gravy that arrived cold, with the chips not defrosted and the cheese unmelted. A couple say prices rose while quality fell. Reviewers also warn that the shop is cash only, and one left without trying the food for that reason.

“Was a regular on a Friday lunchtime, but since the new owners came in and changed it, I reluctantly go in now at a push. The curry is tasteless, just a bland texture. Prices went up while the quality has went down, enough is enough.”
