Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often describe curt, dismissive staff, especially managers. Two say delivery drivers collecting orders were told to wait or come back later, and one reports a manager saying an order would not be handed over even if it was ready. Another says a request for a rubbish bag with a three-piece chicken and chips meal was refused, and a parent says a pleading request to use the toilet for a four year old was turned down. Delivery orders draw repeated complaints of wrong or missing items, including a missing milkshake with a note ignored, a peri peri chicken burger that reviewers say was not peri peri chicken, and a bubble tea with no sugar despite the request. On food safety, one reviewer reports a hair mixed into their food, another a bug in a burger, another raw chicken, and another chicken that smelled off and looked re-fried. One longtime customer says eating in has always been great. Several describe phone complaints met with no apology, and one says a manager offered a refund while telling them not to order again.

“absolutely disgusted. Found a bug in my burger and immediately rang the store. Service was horrible. We asked for a replacement to be delivered to us and they refused. They kept talking about how it’s not their fault they never have this issue and no help.”

“I never leave reviews but I had to warn the people of this bad food. I ordered it from just eat and it said it would come but after 30 min it comes back and the food like the peri peri chicken burger wasn’t even peri peri chicken and was covered in sauce . Then the Tara bubble tea was so bad like I asked for extra sugar and there’s no sugar at all .”

“The chicken smelled and tasted off, and I did not feel it was safe to eat. When I contacted the shop, I was simply told it was freshly cooked in fresh oil, despite the quality suggesting otherwise. Very disappointing experience. It all went in the bin the chicken in the picture was literally not touched by us that is exactly the way it arrived and it’s absolutely disgusting, doesn’t take a genius to tell just by looking at the picture that it was definately not freshly cooked and has been lying around in the heat for a couple of hours if not days and re-fried.”

“Very disappointing experience today. Another driver was waiting for his order and politely asked the manager if it was ready, as there had already been a delay. The manager was chatting with a colleague and, instead of responding professionally, told the driver to come back in 10 minutes and stated that even if the order was ready, he was not going to hand it over. The lack of courtesy and professionalism shown today reflects very poorly on the business. I hope management addresses this issue and provides better customer service training.”

“Been using this place since it’s opened . When we go in to eat everything is absolutely great. But delivery service is so poor. God knows how many times I’ve had deliveries from there and always something missing or wrong. If u can’t be bothered with deliveries then don’t do it it’s that simple. I’ve had milkshakes missing so I rang they say oh we made it it’s in the bag ring the driver ? Dude I don’t have drivers number to ring. I put a note they completely ignored the note it’s for the kids so what do I have to do go to another place to get what the kids asked for. That’s just ignorant”
