Customer Review Summary
The negatives are specific. One reviewer waited three hours for delivery, was repeatedly given extra time on calls, and received a barely warm order with items missing. Another says an order came with the wrong items, overcooked chips, and chicken balls that were red inside and chewy. A third reports that the pancakes with their duck were mouldy and were replaced with further out of date ones.

“Can't get orders sorted correctly and seemingly unaware of how to actually cook chicken so it doesn't make the customer ill. Edit for the owner considering I can't directly reply but I was in just over an hour ago where our order was meant to consist of chikenballs duck chow mein chips and egg fried rice, we ended up getting two portions of chips one of which was so overcooked they couldn't be eaten, half the chicken balls were red and raw inside and very chewy chicken, I've also previously enquired about there whole chicken and was essentially told not to order due to " blind taste testers said it wasn't fully cooked" good job giving out half cooked chicken, Second update because the owner keeps trying to say this is a fake review but why would I call back when things are constantly messed up we've just gone elsewhere and had a much better experience”
