Ordered a wrap that was £3.49 and later on I saw on my Apple Pay I was charged £5… Very upset.

I went here after a long time as last time food was very disappointing but this time there was a big improvement we had half chicken with chips and drink and a peri peri burger meal both were on offers we had both mild and the chicken was very juicy and soft, only downside with the meals they don't give you chilli and garlic sauce instead just give you ketchup sachets apart from this everything was nice

The guy doing wraps messed my order. Order machine does'nt have sauce choice for wraps and when asked him about sauce , he re-opend the wraps and put a blotch of hot sauce on the wrap. I asked him should'nt you be cooking this with sauce on , he said no this is how we do it !!!. When I brought meal home, my son was so disappointed as the entire wrap was under cooked and disgusting. Also this meal is supposed to have two fries , we were given one and that is also half filled. Worst of all ,found a hair in the wrap as well. Disappointing and money wasted.

It's actually a shame used to love this place order all the time, your buffalo thigh burger and the hot wings are still mine and my partners favourite thing to eat, however you charge £3.69 for piri fries and the portion is just ridiculous I wouldn't even call it a small amount of chips we asked for more in the bag and you still sent the same amount knowing full well we are very regular customers who spend £35/£40 each order... on top of that I really wish you'd pack things a bit differently each time I've ordered I've always had cold food as you put the burgers on top of the cold cakes, or even better yet you put a cold drink on top of hot food, it's a shame but I don't think I'll be ordering again.

I used to like Roosters but the quality has been reduced in all senses! They have reduced the size of their meal and increased the price! The burgers don't taste as it used to! We were with kids and ask for an additional disposable paper cup and they said they can't give an additional one! If they want to survive in this business climate, they really need to change how they serve their customer and what they provide (this was far too expensive for what they give and how they treat you)!

Thanks for selling coal black chicken fully burned. You don't know BBQ, don't know tender well cooking flame. Stop making people cancer. Better for you to quit from job and go into mining charcoal business. But I don't think you can also make easy money from there anymore as it is not sustainable anymore due to fossil fuels not demanded anymore. Otherwise I would advise you to produce electric from burning chickens

Roosters used to be great. Since the last time I went a couple of years ago. They have over doubled the price and the quality of the food is substantially worse. Instead of using chicken breast in their pitas they now use "mini fillets" which all had the tendon running through the middle of all of them as well as other chewy sinew. Garlic mayo replaced by garlic mush that just overpowers everything and the chips were almost hollow from over cooking. Paid £20 for two pita meals of which I threw 2/3s of mine in the bin. Avoid.

I asked for two halloumi wraps as I’m a vegetarian and they gave me two chicken wraps instead. Then when I called them about it they tried to blame me and said they asked me twice when they did not and NOT ONCE did chicken ever come up in that conversation. Unfortunately, I couldn’t even go back to rectify their mistake as I was on the train home by the time I realised. Don’t bother going here, would give them 0 stars if I could. It’s one thing to make a mistake but to try and blame the customer for it is ridiculous! Will not be going here again.

Right I have been reading a lot of reviews and I have my own opinion as well as respect everyone else's? I believe the customer service is ok may be slow but they are cooking the chicken again what does take time and gives it the flavour. Best option is to go inside and order it not delivered? You want good cooked food then always compliment them by saying good things about their quality and I am sure they will give you what you require.

Got some takeout. Food was nice, I had lamb burger and halloumi with sweet potato fries. The staff was nice, but the shop was quite empty and I didn't mind waiting. I chose lemon and herb seasoning as I don't like spicy food but sadly it seems the paty has chilli in in anyway. It wasn't bad but the seasoning may not be for me.

I called the store and was told that they remember making it and that it must be there. So basically they were calling me a lier! She told me I would have to wait an hour for it to be redelivered. She then told me she would call me back to have the money refunded. Never happened! I emailed the company and have still not received a reply. Will never order from them again

Over 2 hours after ordering rang and was told they had no drivers and it wasn't their fault. They claimed just eat sort out the drivers. This is a lie (just eat confirmed this to be a lie), over 2 and half hours later managed to get a refund through just eat. We couldn't cancel directly through the app as they had put the food as being out for delivery after an hour, again they claimed this on just eat. Do not order from the restaurant

The food here is very similar to Nandos. Food is cooked fresh in front of you, and contrary to Nandos, if you order hot it really is spicy. The prices are extremely cheap, fine dining this is not, but you can eat loads for a fiver, not sure what the complaints are about. Chicken is fresh, tasty, and french fries are delicious. It's not fine dining, I can get more food than I can finish for the price of a glass of wine in a restaurant. I would mark it down by one because it seems to be staffed by possible illegal immigrants who don't look very clean and only speak passable English.

One of the tastiest chicken wraps I've had in a while. Good size with plenty of meat in the wrap and sauce adding just the right amount of heat. I went for medium.

Waiting time the person on the Till said was 40 mins. The grill when I looked was absolutely empty. That just shows how unorganised they are with food preparation to ensure customers don’t wait for too long. The chicken was still steaming! In the oven!! Not happy at all! When we brought the chicken home, some pieces of the chicken were still raw!!!
