Customer Review Summary
Complaints recur often enough to matter: multiple reviewers describe wrong orders, cheeseburgers swapped for chicken, spicy sent instead of normal, or missing chips and whole meals, with staff reportedly refusing replacements or hanging up when challenged. Cash-only payment catches several off guard, sending some searching for a cash machine. One reviewer reports a chicken burger arriving undercooked with visible blood, and another says a relative was sick the following day. A family bucket order left one customer waiting twenty five minutes only to find the chips missing entirely.

“Really disappointing experience. First of all, they only accept cash, which wasn’t made clear beforehand. I had to walk nearly a mile to find a cash machine, and then another, as all the ones in the area were out of service. After finally getting cash, I placed an order of nearly £60. Only after completing the order did they mention that cheese costs extra. I said that was fine, but they refused to add it, saying the food was already packed and couldn’t be reopened. Overall, very poor customer service, especially from the young lad serving. Hopefully this improves in the future, but based on this experience, I wouldn’t rush back.”

“The food was okay, but the burger bun was too soft. You can’t pay by debit card or Apple Pay — you have to scan a QR code, order online, and there’s a 50p service charge, which I assume is for card payments. The dining area wasn’t very clean, and I had to wait quite a long time for my order.”

““I’ve been a customer of this takeaway for about five years. One time, my food arrived an hour and a half late and completely cold—basically inedible. When I called to complain, they apologized and Ali promised next time I’d be charged half …”

“worst food ever the sauce was soggy and the burger was dry would not recommend.Oh yeah and the customer service was so bad.I kept on trying to talk but the worker kept on spitting while he was talking.”

“Made an order for delivery, not the first time at this place. Strip meal was fantastic as per, but unfortunately the wrap had mayo in it despite asking for none. Called up, got it sorted within a minute, delivered within 10. Great customer service, great food. Will keep coming back”
