Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out friendly, quick service at the Bury Old Road branch, with several describing staff as polite and welcoming and one saying the team cheered them up. Close behind is the food, called fresh and full of flavour, with the grilled chicken described as juicy and well-seasoned, the fries as crispy, and the portions as generous. One visitor who has tried many Pepe's branches calls this one outstanding, and another says things have tightened up under new management. The complaints centre on delivery and late-night waits. One reviewer waited over half an hour after the app showed the order as on its way, called the store three times and got conflicting answers about where the driver was, and was told to complain to Uber Eats. The driver then handed the order to someone else first, and the food arrived cold. Another describes slow preparation at 1am, with drivers holding meetings in front of the till while walk-in customers waited behind them. One more received a burger that was not plain as requested.

“It took more than half an hour for my delivery to arrive after the status was updated to “heading your way.” After waiting around 20 minutes, I called the store and spoke to a member of staff who told me the driver was on his way. After another 10 minutes, I called again. I only live about 10 minutes away from the store by car, so by this point the delivery should have arrived. This time, she told me the driver was already outside. I went outside to check, but there was nobody there. I also tried calling the number she gave me for the driver, but it went straight to voicemail. When I called the store again, she once again said the driver was outside. I pointed out that she had told me the exact same thing more than 10 minutes earlier and that the driver was already over 30 minutes late. Instead of trying to help or explain what was happening, she was rude and then changed the story, saying the driver was now 5 minutes away — despite previously telling me he was already outside! When I asked how I could make a complaint, she told me to complain to Uber Eats. However, the driver was a Pepe’s driver, not an Uber Eats driver, so I don’t understand why I was being directed to Uber Eats for an issue involving their own delivery driver and customer service. To make matters worse, when the driver finally arrived, he proceeded to hand my order to someone else without even checking the name. If the other person hadn’t checked the order, the driver seemingly wouldn’t have realised his mistake. The food was cold. Overall, extremely poor delivery service and very disappointing customer service. The constantly changing information, rude attitude and lack of basic checks when handing over the order made the whole experience unnecessarily frustrating. Reading the other reviews, I can see this is a pattern!”

“Pepe’s in Manchester never disappoints! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly, with generous portions and excellent quality. What really made the experience stand out was the outstanding customer service from Salina. She was friendly, welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely makes you feel valued as a customer, and Salina did exactly that. Great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service—I highly recommend Pepe’s Manchester and will definitely be back!”

“I had a great experience at Pepe’s thanks to Salina. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my visit. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. She was patient, helpful, and ensured everything was handled efficiently.”
