Salt and chilli chips draw praise, with one reviewer calling the food outstanding, but complaints recur about oil quality and blandness.

One reviewer also received soggy, barely warm chips and cold sweet and sour sauce despite an early collection.

“For a small little shop the food was outstanding.”

“Absolutely awful chips cooked in old oil. Combo starter swimming in grease, chicken chow mein no flavour whatsoever. Save your money and go elsewhere.”

“Ordered in person around 6PM on a Saturday evening. Food was ready quicker than the advised wait time of 15-20 minutes. The phone was ringing nonstop with orders & the two girls taking orders & payments were being kept very busy. The salt & chilli chips were very good & so they should’ve been for £4.10 per portion. Unfortunately the two main meals were very bland & pretty uninspiring to be honest. We’d have expected more taste from a king prawn Thai red curry (gritty sauce & a lack of veg but there wasn’t a shortage of prawns) & a Szechuan chicken which definitely lacked any spice/heat whatsoever. I can’t say the food was a waste of twenty five quid but it certainly didn’t represent value for money & I doubt I’ll bother buying from here again.”

“Food was horrible. The oil that has been used to cook with tasted as though it hasn't been changed in ages. …”

“Usually really good but I was told a collection time of 35 mins. I turned up early and waited inside the shop for 5 minutes. I was given my good and drove home which is only 3 mins away. I opened my chips to find barely warm soggy chips, my chicken was barely warm aswell and i had cold sweet and sour sauce. What an absolute let down.”
