"We ordered our food online really late and spoke to the owner. Who had just closed the shop but regardless of that excepted our order and went back to open it and make our food."
"We ordered ahead to attempt to grab a takeaway to enjoy on the train journey home but things didn't work out, time wise, and we decided to catch the next train so as to enjoy the cool ambience of the restaurant."
"My partner and I had dinner here this evening We had been past a few times and not been in but tonight we decided to give it a try...."
"Had our first takeout from here on the weekend. The food was awesome 👌 The stew had great flavour, as did the Jerk Chicken - which fell of the bone."
Cons:
"It is about two hours beyond the estimated delivery time, which is a very bad experience."
"After you called the store to ask if your takeaway arrived? Got a very rude reply and told you that it will arrive in five minutes, the actual situation is that it has not been delivered after waiting for half an hour."
"Took over 1hr to arrive after being told 30mins, was told a 6 year could eat the chicken as it wasnt spicy, not the case."
"Ordered a delivery and after repeatedly calling an hour after we ordered and being told it was on it's way nothing arrived."
"We placed a large order via Just Eat, it was confirmed that food would be delivered within an hour.......2.5 hours later it arrived, we had no phone calls to advise it would be late."
