I have been a regular customer of this food place for many years and have always enjoyed their tasty food at reasonable prices. They offer a variety of options like Jacket Potatoes, Chicken Steak & Chips, Wraps, Sandwiches, and more. The staff, for the most part, are friendly and provide great service. However, one staff member can be extremely rude, which can be quite off-putting. I have experienced this firsthand, with them questioning why I was ordering at certain times and lying about the availability of tubs for sauces. It's a shame that such behavior exists as it spoils the experience of visiting this place. Despite this, I would still recommend trying their delicious food, but be aware of the rude staff member.
Normally they do fantastic food and portion sizes. My favourite is the jacket potato, cheese and beans but today when I got it. All the potatoes barely had any beans and cheese on them. That oozing overflow in the container which marks it different from other takeaways wasn’t there. They felt light and as my daughter even questioned “is there any tuna in this?” It tasted very bland and dry! If they remain tight like this, it’s not worth the price or taste. Hopefully it was a one off! My food rating was for today. Otherwise normally I would give it a 5 for potato and 3 for the other options.
Check inside your box! I brought chicken wings and chips. Its meant to be 5 wings when i got home with box there was only 4 in it. I rang to complain they apologised and said I can go collect another wing. (Why would anyone go back in car to go collect one wing!) Basically i got ripped off. Not going back there again!
They used to be good at one point but have gone down hill recently. Food quality isn’t what it used to be, they are missing out items more regularly. I rang to complain the 2nd time it happened to me was told to come next time and explain, went a week late and was told none of the staff knew about my issue, so I got ripped off twice and so stopped eating from here
Very large jacket potatos baked to perfection and you can choose a variety of toppings including chicken flake, chicken mayo flake, chilli con carne or chicken steak. Panini's and wraps all available too. Somosas chat also available. All the food (I've tried most the menu) is lovely. If you're feeling a deli lunch or tea ie a panini meal or chicken wrap. It's the place to be . Prices are very cheap and I think they do some deals too like four meals for a certain price. The somosas chat with imbli sauce and onions is like you would expect and served in a little tub. Take aways only no eating in area. Waiting time usually ten to fifteen mins. Kind hard working staff. They also sell the Asian sweets (ladoo jalebi gulaab jamun etc) and party fresh cream cakes of different sizes which you can get something written on like a birthday message for no added cost. The sweets are all fresh and taste wonderful. About two steps to go up to enter so unfortunately not wheelchair friendly. Wish they had eat in. Don't know why they don't. They have the space for a few tables.,
