Customer Review Summary
Fiveways Chip Inn draws consistent praise for its generous, well-prepared Chinese takeaway, with the salt and pepper chicken singled out repeatedly as a standout dish, described by diners as among the best they have had. The special fried rice and chicken curry also earn frequent mentions for being tasty and satisfying, while the steak dinner and mushroom chow mein are noted as highlights by individual reviewers. Portions are regularly described as huge and reasonably priced, and the food is often reported arriving piping hot with friendly, efficient service from both counter staff and delivery drivers. However, a recurring complaint centers on delivery reliability, with multiple reviewers reporting orders arriving cold, severely delayed, or with drivers struggling to locate addresses, and one diner found the curry sauce overly salty and lacking real flavour.

“Only been once for a simple order of curry and chips but me and partner think it’s the best curry and chips we have had from any chippy. Looking forward to coming back in the near future👍 …”

“We ordered for delivery and I'm sure the food could have been nice if it had been warm but alas it was freezing cold and took almost 90 mins to arrive. Very salty too so possibly loaded with MSG, no real flavour from the curry sauce either. All in all a VERY disappointing food delivery.”
- Carol Brooks

“First time ordering from here, ordered the food at 6:30 and got told it would be half an hour. Gave my postcode and address and 7:20 the driver rings me saying it’s taken him by a shop. I tell him he is around the back and tell him specific …”
