Customer Review Summary
The complaints are about as frequent as the praise. Orders arrive wrong or incomplete: milkshakes missing or swapped for different ones, a burger meal made incorrectly, half the salad left off a kebab, and normal coke sent instead of diet. Others report burnt chips, dry nan bread, donner meat cut thick, cold food, and a long Monday evening wait. One reviewer found the kebab smelled and tasted funny. Several say phone calls about mistakes went nowhere, and one caller was hung up on while asking about a wrong order.

“On top of horrible service and waiting hours on end food was cold and there is a staff member in there who has a foul mouth absolutely disgusting swearing and shouting all over the place while kids are in the shop discussing behaviour should be sacked immediately”
- Lee Swift

“Absolutely appalling ! First of all the wait for the food on a Monday evening was ridiculous over an hour and half wait for the food and I can guarantee it’s because there’s not cues out the door as the food was not the best donner meat was cut to thick and I know that’s my opinion but just putting it out there also flavour of the meat tasted cheap and Nan bread was very dry, another packet bought flat bread named a Nan bread, also missed half the salad I asked for of the kebab and sent normal coke instead of diet so all in all not the best experience and I won’t be going back unfortunately.”
