Bunbun Restaurant in South Tyneside

pizza is unreal and it’s great that you get chips along with every pizza you buy! one of the best places for a takeaway for sure.

…. And very impressed. A table for five midweek and we all chose the 3 course menu as that was what was available at lunchtime. The staff were polite, efficient and asked how our meals were. All of us enjoyed the potato skins starter, two different pasta dishes and three different pizzas for mains and ice cream or coffee for dessert. Great tastes and thumbs up for us all. Would go back.

Well where do I start. After playing pool match in Boldon we got back to the Ben Lomond to late. Being hungry my, well known mate, and I, went to this establishment. My friend who actually worked on their set up and comes in to engineering problems said he's my mate look after him. I wasn't expecting anything but when I asked for salad with my mixed kebab and garlic comments were passed as a joke even the responsible lad behind the bar of the place joking with my mate and taking £1 off. Ok nothing to worry about eh? Having ordered the mixed kebab, I was asked do you want onions and peppers, my reply yes. Why? Because it's part of the order!!!! So watching the same responsible person putting two pincers of kebab meet into a silver food tray meant nothing to me, until I got home. Opening up a tray the same I realised that it was indeed what I'd seen filled with extras of onion and pepper before the other meat. Why was I asked about this and if I'd said no would the poor portion have been better. The fact there was two pitta made no difference to me, one was enough, they didn't ask me about that and change or add more elsewhere. Opening further I found the salad, normal and expected until the sauce. The sauce they and my mate had joked about wasn't garlic but chilli. Even the fact that they'd joked about the order they couldn't get it right. I didn't expect to get any special service but my mate who has done so much for them just wanted them to respect his request. I care that he hasn't had the response he hoped for but even worse for me, STANDING IN THE SHOP PLACING AN ORDER, AND THEY STILL COULDN'T GET IT RIGHT. Spoilt my meal and night.

Collected my order & staff were very helpful and assisted me promptly. Food was delicious & very well priced: will most certainly be back :) Thankyou

A party of 20 for a special birthday family celebration. Booked in advance. Sent orders in advance. What a shambles. Service was slow and poor, food came out with long periods between each diners meal resulting in some sitting for ages waiting for their food whilst others finished theirs. . Food was awful except pizzas and garlic breads and salad. Manager was uncooperative when discussing issues. When food was sent back it was recooked not replaced. Atmosphere was flat. Not recommended.
