About Top Taste
On Main St in Frodsham, Top Taste is a takeaway at number 111 that opens daily, evenings only. The menu pairs a donner meat calzone with kebabs and "special grills", and the special kebabs come with salad and sauces. Garlic sauce and chilli sauce are offered alongside the kebabs. Pizzas are sold by the inch, in 10", 12" and 14" sizes, and a custom pizza lets customers choose toppings such as olives. Chips can be added as a side.

Customer Review Summary
Kebabs and donner meat draw the most comment, and reviewers split sharply on them. One diner calls the chicken kebab the best in a while, with a great charcoal smoky flavour, another enjoyed a custom pizza with whole olives, and a third notes fresh food and a free garlic sauce with a 14 inch pepperoni pizza. Others describe the donner meat as anaemic, greasy, tasteless, or tough and chewy. Two report skimpy fillings, from a large chicken kebab with hardly any meat and soggy lettuce to a 14 inch calzone where several pieces held nothing but dough. The most repeated complaint is payment. Three reviewers, two of them regulars, say staff demanded cash despite card payment being advertised online. Two had their orders cancelled, one of them with a child left hungry after a long trip, and another walked away without food. Two more received mixed-up orders after asking for separate special grills, one bag holding all the salad and the other all the meat, and one reviewer advises checking the bag before leaving.

“Terrible customer service. Took my order with attitude and then demanded I pay by cash, and when I said I’d like to pay by card, their attitude turned even more hostile. Walked away without paying or getting the food. Absolutely unacceptable and horrible staff, especially the small guy.”

“Terrible customer service! I have been a regular customer here for a while now. On the last few occasions however, the staff have been very blunt in requesting cash on payment even after the fact I have told them I don’t carry cash. They advertise card payment online and have a fully functional card machine in the shop also which I have always used many time. Yesterday when I place my order they once again very bluntly stated ‘bring cash’ after I explained once again I don’t carry cash. They proceeded to question this and ask why I don’t have cash. After explaining this. The worker spoke to the manager who advised they would need to cancel our order. We had travelled from Runcorn with a 9 year old child specifically for this. Disgusting customer service. Since this I have checked online and this seems to be consistent across the board with similar kind of service / staff attitude”

“I have been a regular customer at Top Taste for a long time and have always enjoyed the food, but I am incredibly disappointed after my experience there recently. For the last few weeks, the staff have been aggressively pushing a 'cash only' policy, despite their website clearly advertising that they accept card payments. On my most recent visit, I was pressured to leave the shop to go find a cash machine, despite having no way to do so. When I explained that I only had my phone for payment and could not provide cash, the staff were dismissive and rude, ultimately choosing to cancel my order entirely rather than accommodate a payment method they officially advertise. My 9-year-old daughter was left hungry after we had specifically travelled to Frodsham for this meal. It is completely unacceptable for a business to refuse service and subject customers to this kind of harassment over a payment preference that contradicts their own website. I will not be returning after this experience.”

“My son has posted an additional review related to our joint experience today with an in shop order around 5pm today Saturday 11/07/26. After being in Frodsham for a couple of hours my son and I went to Top Taste and ordered 2x special kebabs, one each to take home separately. Cost £39. My son dropped me off at my home then drove to his in Macclesfield. Upon my getting home I opened my bag to find two salads and 4 sauces. I called my son to check his bag, when he got home he found he had 2x grilled meat. We could not return them as he lives 30 miles away. Basically after calling Top Taste to complain about the mixed order I was told that I was just after a free meal. I have ordered from top taste off and on for very many years but depending on staff or management the service changes significantly. Anyway will not be going there again in the long term future. If you order check your bag before you leave. We were clear about two separate orders, also when my son checked the two grills they were greasy and way below their quality of the past. We won’t make the same mistake twice whilst it is under this management. Hopefully you will do better.”

“Ordered two special grills for me and my father. However after after requesting the meals to be separated they were mixed up, as a result upon getting home one of us has all of the salad and the other all of the meat. The food itself was very dry, tough and chewy with the donor meat being extremely greasy and tasteless.”
