Wrong chicken was given that I payed extra for was barely even cooked too. However Cheese triangles were burnt on the bottom. And Pizza was cold. Disappointed wasn’t worth the 35 quid I paid what so ever. Wish I didn’t bother

Poster in window £8.99 any size pizza. Nothing about have to order in store or online etc. ordered 2 pizza in store charged £20 instead of £17.98 Told girl at counter who bought pizzas out. She called another worker said wait for the manager who served me who was upstairs. Waited and waited. Asked again eventually manager came down. Made excuses about why he charged me £20. When i got home one pizza looked nothing like what i ordered but too pissed off to go and return. Never seen so much poor service poor pizza quality misleading pricing and unhelpful management. Will never be going there again

I recently tried a vegan pizza from Pizza Hut and was quite disappointed. The crust was excessively hard, lacking the desirable texture. Instead of being soft and fluffy, it was overly crispy and close to being burnt. The vegan cheese had a very strong, unpleasant smell and taste, which made the overall experience less enjoyable. I would not recommend this vegan pizza. There's a nearby competitor that offers much better vegan options.

Pizza toppings mixed up, wrong sauce on wrong base, made for 2 expensive pizzas that nobody wanted to eat. Also with far too much sauce so the topping and cheese won’t even stay on! That makes it from 3 orders, 3 wrong.

The cheese is a bit tasteless and unfortunately comes with a puddle of grease. Other pizza hut places are better but it is not terrible.

Tried to order a pizza using their online £8.99 offer, however the order could not be completed. Called the branch and they said it was due to a system issue, and offered zero help. Would make sense to have an override so we could order over the phone, but they didn’t seem to care that we couldn’t place our order. Ended up going to Domino’s.

Ordered pizza for the family for the England Euros final on 11 July. It never arrived despite ordering it at 3pm for a 7pm delivery. I’ve been to the Shirley branch 3 times requesting a full refund - each time the store manager tells me that the area manager will repay me the next day. It’s been nearly 3 weeks. You never delivered me pizza and you have still kept my money! Awful service. A bad bad advert for Pizza Hut.

I called and I was greeted with 'Hi this is pizza hut how may I help' or something like that, how I would expect a pizza joint to pick up. When I asked how their day was going, the person who picked up had the audacity to say 'good I just slept with your mom' and when I asked for his name, he wouldn't give it and eventually I just gave up and now came here. A good piece of advice, do not order from this pizza hut joint, I have read some other reviews and some have experienced similar things so if you want to order a pizza by phone, definitely take this one off your list!

So I fancied chicken and decided to order two chicken sides and potato wedges. The order was 35 min late, and on top of that the delivery guy was moaning that he waited outside for too long? Yeah, I wasn’t impressed at all and he kept going on about it and like where do you keep your phone bla bla. The food was okay, couple of burned bits on the chicken wings but in general not too bad.

Paid for extra toppings which did not come on the pizza, called and spoke to the manager who did not want to resolve the issue of missing toppings which i had paid for. The answers he gave me are as follows - 1. why are you calling me as i cannot refund you 2. I will give you the toppings money from my own pocket 3. Just Eat cannot resolve any issue you have. I have also stated that this was a one off order and still there was no response. There was no apology or matter to resolve the issues. Manager had no respect and did not give his name when asked and put the phone down. Date 15/08/20

The only good thing I can say is the food arrived quickly and was nice and hot. Beyond that I am completely baffled as to what I received. I’ve never consumed anything so utterly bland. I had to raid the spice rack to try and get this food to taste of something. I added salt, pepper, garlic granules and dug out a leftover garlic dip from a previous pizza order from a rival chain. All of that combined just about made this meal edible. Flavourless Food!

I came yesterday with my friends for afternoon tea, it was by far the worst afternoon tea experience we’ve ever had!! I was so shocked that this awful experience came from such reputable hotel! Very unexpected! I was so looking forward for a traditional afternoon tea and I choose the hotel based on reputation and location and invited my friends to come along, I’ve initially booked for 7 and two cancelled on the day for emergency reasons, the afternoon tea was then served, it didn’t look appetising or inviting, tea cups arrived with no saucers underneath, no cups for water for water bottles!! The food was served on one of these wooden blocks which was unexpected and unappealing for the traditional afternoon tea style we were expecting, those blocks were ugly and made it hard to access the items desolated inside and made it hard to communicate with ont another as there in ur face kind of thing!! The whole desolate looked like anything but a traditional afternoon tea style! Coming to the food itself We had soggy couple of sandwiche sliced each, unappealing purple dyed salmon setting on densed pastry (why would u dye the beautiful salmon colour in that unappealing appetising way, it was awfull, we also had arancini balls with meat in the middle despite me telling them we dont want anything containing meat or pork or alcohol when I booked, they apologised and replaced it later with vege version, Scones where ice cold, not fresh and it looked and tasted like what you get in these prepackaged scones from supermarkets,, we also had runny icecrem with few diced pieces of strawberries swimming in the middle, At this point we were off and didn’t want to complete the couple of items left in the sweet section because they also looked like something u just opened from packaging and placed on a plate in a rush!! When we’re ready to pay I was told I need to pay for seven although five came and I asked for afternoon for five on arrival as two cancelled due to emergency happened at the time, no one mentioned this when I booked and it didnt sound right that I have to pay for two extra when they didn’t turn up, The restaurant manager came and told me that he had to prepare for seven and I have to pay for seven because of this, at this point I flipped and wasn’t sure what exactly was pre prepared as everything there looked like ready made supermarket quality food not a top hotel restaurant quality food, and he can see they that there was food left over which shows that wr didn’t enjoy what wr had!! He the. Said I don’t know what’s ur explanation from an afternoon trea, I then Stopped him and said I’ve been to so many in my life most in hotels and I never received this below average experince, food in other place looked artisan, made for you, prepared, inviting, appetising, opposite to what we had! He then apologised and ask me to pay for the five wr had! I’ll never come back again nor my friends will, worst food and very unprofessional restaurant manager, he’s got zero customer service and satisfaction experince!! What a shame…
