No updates on the app, even with their own couriers, they can swipe on the system to say it is being prepared and then out for delivery. But nothing. Called their contact number provided on the app for no response. Ended up eating local shop sandwich as was hungry. Food was wasted basically. Even now as of this time it says delivering but food already in trash.

Whilst the food was excellent value for the price point, £3 for a filling portion of food, the rest was absolutely dismal. Firstly, the drinks selection is poor. I don’t want to be washing my chicken and chips down with a Coca-Cola rip off that tastes like vinegar. Speaking of, the ‘condiment’ station was pungent with smell of vinegar that almost knocked my socks off!! Salt and Vinegar spread all across the station. Not only was it impractical, as only one person can use it at a time, it is not cleaned as often as it should be. Next, the atmosphere. It is genuinely a frightening store to visit. Whilst I appreciate that Big John’s has always being a slightly higher tier of ‘your local chippy’, it has lost a lot of its lustre. The feeling I get approaching specifically this store and the newly closed down store opposite the square peg left me feeling like I was in a shanty town and not a place I would enjoy eating my food. The floor also seems to be cleaned not as often as it should be and there are usually only 3 staff on shift when this is a clearly busy location that needs extra staffing. Genuinely disappointing.

Cold food, old donner meat no flavour, loaded fries from other stores so much better literally gave me cold chips a few southern fried chicken and cut up some red chillis on top lol. Food takes so long even when ordering directly from the store be sure to wait at least an hour for delivery. Wouldnt recommend this big johns defo try the one in town lawley middleway

Terrible customer service. Ordered pizza from here order was delayed for over 3 hours. I called 40 times to the store with no answer. Had to call another branch who got through to the manager at perry bar who then called me giving excuses. I complained to customer services via the online form and they are as useless as the store offering me a free 12 inch pizza on my next purchase. I want a refund for cold inedible food not another cold pizza.

I recently visited Big John's Perry Bar, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. To start, I found a hair in my chips, which is not only unappetizing but also raises serious concerns about the cleanliness and hygiene standards in the kitchen. It's hard to enjoy a meal when you're worried about what might be lurking in your food. Additionally, I had specifically ordered niblets but was served wings instead. This mix-up not only disrupted my meal but also left me feeling frustrated, as I had been looking forward to the niblets. Overall, my visit to Big John's Perry Bar was a letdown. The issues with food quality and order accuracy made it difficult to enjoy what should have been a pleasant dining experience.

I recently had a disappointing experience at Big John's. The service was slow, and my order took much longer than expected. When the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm and not very flavorful. The staff seemed overwhelmed and uninterested in addressing any concerns. Overall, I left feeling unsatisfied and unlikely to return. I hoped for a better experience, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations.

Doner in naan was nice, meat was tender, salad was fresh & bread was soft. But portion is too small for the price! Accompanying chips and cola were okay. Fish & chips were disappointing. Chips were okay and fish was bland. Mushy peas & curry sauce were flavourless and watery. Could not taste any vinegar even though it was added during order. We got 20 chicken popcorn for free. The packaging is better than the food tbh 😆

Its been around for decades however it has passed hands several times. We had a chicken curry and a meat curry. The sauces in both were the same - they added pieces of meat to make the meat curry and chicken pieces to make the chicken curry. The sauces were also made several days earlier. Nothing fresh. The taste was awful really - it is actually an insult to Indian cuisine. Please do not visit this place. And it was quite expensive for what we got.
