“For a small little shop the food was outstanding.”
- James
“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. …”
- Tom
“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.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split, and the most repeated complaint is the oil: three describe chips or cooking that tasted of old oil, with one citing a greasy combo starter and a chicken chow mein with no flavour. Another found chips and chicken barely warm and the sweet and sour sauce cold. The salt and chilli chips drew praise, though a king prawn Thai red curry and Szechuan chicken were called bland.
