Be aware of being overcharged. A rude/miserable man tried to over charge me and when I told him he hung up on me. I was a regular loyal customer and now I won't ever go back again.

Really good pizza was lots of toppings…. Warning if you ask for jalapeño on the pizza, they chop up a whole jalapeno plant for you and my backside is now suffering! Really great pizza however (but go a lot lightly on the jalapeno guys! 😂

Whilst pizza was delivered in good time it was extremely poor quality of ingredients whilst I ordered jalapeños this doesn’t mean I want the pizza covered in thousands and not much else! Never again 1 slice eaten 👎🏻

Ordered an Iskender and Adana. Was delivered quick. On opening WELL! Firstly the iskender had no yoghurt. The Sauce was very dark brown instead of red and all of the ingredients were burnt. The same with the adana. It was absolutely disgusting and a waste of 40.00 as other than the salad chips and humus everything else was inedible.if someone can send out rubbish like that they clearly have no pride in their food. Absolutely shocking. I'm so disgusted and hungry. I will never buy from this establishment again.

Ordered a takeaway and was told that it would be 25 mins. Went there after 15 mins and it was ready however the chicken doner was cremated and the chips had been refried and were inedible. Only fit for the bin. Went in and they said they were busy and it was a mistake. The mistake was ours was for eating from here. Everyone makes a mistake but the fact he knowingly served it when he knew it was wrong shows that they have no pride and don’t care about their customers food experience. Had to give one star as that’s the minimum. Avoid

this has to have been the worst pizza I had ever had from them. I ordered close to closing and that seemed to reflect in the way the pizza was made , there also seemed to be a funny taste to it . I couldn't even managed one whole slice. after taking off the onions I gave the rest to my dogs .a total waste of money

Really did not enjoy this meal unfortunately, haven't had a meal from here in a while and thought I would give it a shot but unfortunately the meat was dry and tasted old, completely misread note, chips underneath the cheese were just inedible, gave up eating it less then halfway through, used to love the food from here and I have to say that I've been put off greatly after this recent tryout.

I rang them to tell them this time how bad the food was burnt lamb & kebab but doner barely cooked.. chips had been double cooked dripping in grease & I also told them the chocolate fudge cake I ordered was soaking wet one side & not even edible.. they offered nothing not even an apology.. don’t waste your money here!!

Absolutely complete and utter the worst takeaway I have ever received... I had better food served to me while working in Yemen alongside the WFP programme.... Absolutely no effort whatsoever, basically a cold rustler burger and cheesey chips which was basically melted white plastic on some cold chips....DO NOT ORDER FOOD FROM HERE... apparently the vegetarian pizza is OK, but I wouldn't take his word for it because he is quite odd

I would just like to say I’ve eaten here for years and 90% it’s decent enough food however this evening I ordered two kebabs. They arrived and were very poor quality, basically inedible. Rung them and sent the food back and when I rung to see what was going on with my replacement ( that was guaranteed in the previous phone call) , I spent 18 minutes on the phone arguing with the owner. He yelled down the phone as to why it was my mistake and to order something I actually like next time along with I was just trying to scam money and a free meal out of him and that we were also lying about not liking the food (there is way too much to write already and that was just partial to what he said overall) . The service is severely poor from the owner and coming from someone who works in the hospitality industry means something as we always kind of give way. He did not understand as to why I was asking for a refund / replacement as he said the kebab was “very well done”. Let him know I wasn’t happy with the food and calmly suggested over and over that if he would like to keep his locals happy and his business thriving that he rectifies his mistakes…. Only to be told it was my mistake again. In the end (once we finally got there) he told me if I wanted a refund I would have to walk to the shop (probably thinking I weren’t going to turn up) So I did and got the refund with no problems. His attitude changed drastically once I was stood in front of him. Never will he be getting my business again and really wouldn’t recommend unless your looking for a very very last resort ……

Absolutely disgusted! I checked to see what time this place was closing and online it said 12am. I rang up just after 11pm and told the man what I wanted, he said they only take cash. So I said I’d ring back in 2 mins so I could check if I had the cash, he said it was fine. I was 5 mins at the very most and tried to ring back but they didn’t answer. So I thought I’d drive up there, when I got there the door was locked and they told me I was too late, although it was about 10:30. Very very poor customer service. I highly recommend Family Pizza instead, incredible food and top quality customer service. Shame on you Bar B Q house.....

The best take away place in England if I am honest. We always come here everytime we travel to Walton. The staff are always super efficient, always attentive. For example, when I arrive with my children, the owner (I think) offers the kids a drink whilst we wait for our food. Their Farmhouse Pizza is beyond words. There are a few other takeaways opposite etc that I haven't tried yet, but I always gravitate to this one. It deserves 5 stars all day long. It is super reasonably priced, amazingly clean as you can see all the salad/meat (food) prepared and you can see wihlst they are cooking. Genuinely really nice staff too.

The food is ok, but the portion sizes aren't worth the money you pay compared to some of the other takeaways in the town. I have given them the benefit of doubt but having ordered large kebab the last 3 times I've only received a small kebab but in a large container. Won't be using them anymore.

Reasonable quality food at a very good price. Free deliveries with orders over £10. 5 on food hygene rating. Sampled the Margherita and Double Pepperoni pizzas and found them to be adequate. Given the range of items on their menu, I would not expect the staff to have a good idea of which items contain allergens. If this review is helpful please press like.

Not happy at all. Food took over an hour to get here, the burger was hot but was missing salad and sauce that was asked for and the kebab was barely luke warm, poor quality meat, very small portion, drowned the meat in sauce so who knows if it even had any flavour.

Food was absolutely awful. And we bought a variety. The jacket potatoes were old and dry and inedible. Rock solid on the bottom and impossible to cut with even the sharpest knife. The Tuna wasn't even mixed with mayo, they just squirted a bit over the top. The pizza was complete cardboard and flavourless, one slice and it went straight in the bin. Chips seemed refried? Again inedible. Cheesy jalapeño bites were OK but clearly just basic frozen Iceland food. Never again. Also trying to contact the restaurant was odd. I called probably 9 times with no answer and when eventually I did get an answer, the guy didn't know what was going on. Didn't appear to know what was happening at the restaurant. He sounded in bed or half asleep. He gave me two different numbers to get hold of restaurant both of which were not in service?

Alfresco’s Restaurant, Marine Parade E, Clacton-on-Sea, CO15 IPU, Essex Staying in Walton-on-Naze for a week in September was a revelation – there was the iconic Naze to the north of town to explore and those spectacular beaches both sides of the pier to enjoy. The pier itself, by contrast, was rundown and in need of some real TLC - then there was the state of the town centre. There may be a couple of new mid-size supermarkets (looking fresh, familiar and full-of-life), but the high street that once was and the line of commercial shops have … faded. Why? The place seemed stuck in the 1950s. Hadn’t anyone invested in the place since then (well, apart from Messrs. Aldi & M&S). And what has all this to do with Alfresco’s place? Well … in a roundabout way it does for Clacton when we drove over there for lunch one day was bursting with confidence, bright lights, buoyant commercial centre, pristine pier and lots of people bustling around the centre. The two towns are 13 km apart. It was this thing about contrast that came across. Sure, it’s been many (many … many) years since we were last in both places – growing up in central Essex, the coast was always within easy reach, first for those seaside holidays in the holiday camps that once were then, subsequently (amazingly), personal transport became affordable. First the motorbike/scooter then the car (and the girlfriend). What’s not to love about the NE Essex coast of those days. After parking the car in Agate Street just off Marine Parade we headed for the pier looking for a place for lunch. There was Alfesco’s place a little further down Marine Parade East and overlooking Clacton Pier; to one side of Pier Gap where the road slopes down to the pier. This is where the road-train starts/finishes its tours around the town. The restaurant was one half of a building with a ‘Food Court’ sign across the roof line; the other half was a fish&chips place. We subsequently found out that they were both owned by the same people - neatly providing for both traditional seaside foods and for those who prefer the foods that have invaded from North America and/or southern Europe in recent years. We headed into Alfresco’s Restaurant – through the outside courtyard into the snazzy-looking glass-structure that enclosed the inside dining area with the counter at the far end. Seating for around 50 inside and outside at four seat/tables and benches. We were the only people in the place and, it seemed, lunch was finished for the day and the place was about to close up. Glance at the clock - it was just after 14.30 – and mine host was amenable to a couple of jacket potatoes with side salads; ‘Easy’, he said, ‘everything is set up’. Friendly … we liked that. We were seated with our drinks and food within 10 minutes. It was, as he said: Easy. The meal was delicious too – large hot potato, cheese on the side and sufficient greens to supplement those carbohydrates. The wall above and to one side of the counter was awash with food options of all kinds – sandwiches, grills, burgers, lasagne, fish, jacket potatoes, sides, etc. – jacket potatoes were an easy (and tasty) choice for us – the second time that week. We hadn’t thought about convenience to the restaurant – it just worked out that way. Service, approach, comfortable table, good value and delicious light meal – complimenti. We paid GB£15.45 for the meal: GB£5.50 each for our meals and finishing with a pot of tea and a cappuccino. It had been a pleasant 40 minutes looking out over the surrounding courtyard and pier below – where we headed after leaving Alfresco’s for a quick tour around. The place was alive with people; the fairground activities buzzing with the vitality that only electricity can provide – light, sound, movement. Peter Steele Maldon Essex 21 October 2019

Absolutely rude. When asked for the meat fresh of the spit the man is moaning he had meat already cut in the tin which I said I didn’t like. Then continued to then try charge me extra because I didn’t want my chilli sauce on my kebab and wanted it separate. Very rude and terrible customer service don’t even deserve this 1* in my opinion. Service doesn’t cost anything
