Customer Review Summary
Reviewers who praise The Big Chippy describe reliably tasty meals, including a delivered order that arrived hot and well packed and a curry the kitchen made spicy on request. Friendly, hard-working staff, quick preparation, generous portions, a spotless interior and good prices come up repeatedly alongside the food. Complaints are close behind and mostly concern the Chinese dishes and chips. One reviewer found the Singapore fried rice to be mostly ham, the salt and pepper chicken not spicy and the salt and pepper chips poor, while another called the egg fried rice disgusting. Others describe warm, soggy food, chips with an unpleasant colour and taste shortly after opening, and a doner in pitta with no salad that was dry. A few call it expensive for what they received. One reviewer reports dirty prawns. After one soggy meal, the shop offered a voucher and told the customer they should have rung for a freshly cooked replacement.
