Customer Review Summary

The recurring complaint is slow, disorganised service. Several describe waits of half an hour or longer, with staff talking among themselves while orders sit, and one says the order was not even on the display after a long wait. Two report asking for piri piri chicken and receiving plain chicken with no sauce, one also getting cold chips and the other missing fries. Both say the staff were rude or dismissive when they called, with one told to come back if they wanted sauce. Another says the rice box arrived only half full.

  • Matin Safi
    “An absolute must-visit! I literally travel all the way from Belgium just to eat at this restaurant because I am so incredibly crazy about their food. Every single trip is 100% worth it. The flavors are phenomenal, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service never disappoints. If you are looking for an extraordinary dining experience, this is the place to be. Highly, highly recommended”
  • Parvinder Singh
    “The food is nice, and I have no complaints about the quality. However, I do feel the service could be improved.Whenever I visit, I often see staff talking amongst themselves while customers are waiting. I usually end up waiting more than 30 minutes for my order, which can be quite frustrating. It would be much better if there were clear time slots or a better system to ensure customers receive their food within the expected timeframe. I would also suggest monitoring staff during busy periods to make sure orders are being handled efficiently. Apart from the waiting time and service, everything else is good.”
  • Feri Hashemi
    “I love this place so much. The workers were really nice. I love the chicken nuggets and the Feri fries highly recommend and I also met the owners and they were very nice very friendly.”
  • Gokul MA
    “Worst customer service. I love Pepe's food and have eaten at many branches, but the Southampton shop always has terrible service. I waited over an hour and my order wasn't even on the display. I asked for extra hot peri peri chicken and got plain chicken with no sauce and cold chips. Staff told me the sauce was added but they lied me and when I call them, then told me to come back if I wanted sauce which is a arrogant reply food taste is very good from all pepe franchise but I won't be going back to this Southampton branch again because of only terrible customer service.”
  • Rizwan Ullah
    “I ordered piri piri chicken, but they sent me plain boiled chicken without any sauce. They also forgot to include the fries. I called the restaurant to complain, but the staff were very rude and unhelpful. I'm very disappointed with both the food and the customer service.”
