Starvin Marvin Lancaster in Lancaster

Absolute con artists. Ordered a pizza 90 minutes before closing time; was assured it was en route 15 minutes before closing time. Lo and behold, midnight comes and there's no delivery. Not only am I out of pocket, I've wasted my time waiting for this shysters. Get in the bin.

Got a chicken wrap and some curly fries , I asked for the curly fries white mayo and red salt on . My order was 2 hours late , and the delivery driver tried to tell me I spelt my OWN address wrong , I asked to see the receipt and it was spelt the right way . When I opened my order there was rips all in the curly fries box . There was no mayo or red salt on the curly fries . All my food was freezing and the chicken wrap had barely any mayo or salad on it . The chicken itself tasted undercooked and the actual bread for it all was dry and hard . Hated the whole experience will never buy again

Short wait (not a busy time), competitive prices. If your looking for quick food then look no further.

chicken burger and chips was absolutely disgusting and the smell was awefull. 7.50 for this. i was tempted to go back and complain but it was late. never again will i go here.

We waited over 2 hours for some very substandard food. There has been some advertising about Lancaster saying about the improvements but I can safely say we will never order from here again. Complete let down. Would have cancelled the order after 2 hours but they wouldn't even answer the phone. Seriously, don't even bother!

Absolutely awful. Me and my boyfriend ordered tonight and it took 2 hours to arrive. we ordered at 5 and it came at 7. We rang and asked where it was and he said it’ll be 10 mins. it wasn’t…. of course. it was another 40 mins. It arrives and my burger was absolutely wet through, as it had clearly been sat in a bag for ages. When we rang and complained he was rude and clearly didn’t care. ‘Whatever i’ll just give you a refund’ was his response. Disgusting and i will not be returning. Only thing edible was the can of diet coke…….

Food was really bad just seen that it's got 0 star food safety too and didn't give me refund when order was wrong. Owner is very rude and I would recommend not to go to this venue.

We ordered some food that took one and a half hours to arrive. The food was cold and overall bad and they never apologised or offered something

No chicken in and my wife fancied a takeaway. She spotted the Parmo on the menu so we ordered from here. Parmo should have trading standards kicking down the door. As mention in other reviews, this should be a flattened breaded chicken breast topped with a creamy bechamel sauce and topped with red Leicester or a blend of red Leicester and cheddar. This was tomato sauce and the cheapest analog cheese and was overcooked. I had a Hunger buster burger with a dry burger, dry chicken fillet, dry kebab meat, old salad and a soaking wet bun. Put this to the back of the queue, we wont be ordering again. Parmo went in the bin, at £8.50 it was also a total rip off.

A parmo is breadcrumbed chicken, topped with beshmel sauce (lasagna sauce) and cheese. It originates in Teesside and is usually served with chips and salad at a price of £5-£6. What you served is a chicken pizza. Fix this. This is an outrage to the name “Parmo”

Fantastic food and great service arrived very quick thanks guys :) I will definitely be ordering again

Ordered a Takeaway for delivery and it was a waste of money, totally disappointing. Ordered Garlic Bread with Cheese the one that arrived had no cheese, was cold, rubbery and not edible. That was thrown away. Chips were cold. Also ordered Doner Kebab in Pitta and large Doner Kebab which came with Naan Bread even though we wanted Pitta Bread with Garlic Sauce, not sure if it was garlic sauce or a different sauce the pita bread was dry and tasted old. Kebab meat was dry also. Won’t be ordering from here again. Don’t want to waste money on food that was all awful

I love ordering from Starvin Marvin. The food is always perfect. Any issues with my order are sorted quickly & efficiently with a phone call. The staff are very friendly & the drivers are lovely. I recommend this place to anyone wanting a takeaway with a variety of options. In my house we have certain food allergies & dietry requirements & Starvin Marvin have always delivered to the highest standards- no issues when it comes to allergies or dietry requirements. Delivery does take a little longer than it used to- initially I'd have my order within 10 mins of ordering- but that is due to the number of students who order from them, just proving their popularity. Order as a treat, after a long shift at the hospital, when I can't be bothered cooking or to celebrate an achievement.

Went for kebab and chips at the end of the night and gave to say it was the worst I’ve ever had. Dinner meat was so over cooked it was a strange colour and almost brittle. The meat had been thrown over the chips so they were covered in grease, no salad (didn’t even ask if we wanted salad so I presumed it would come with it) and a drizzle of sauce. My husband asked for mint (which in kebab places is a yogurt/mint type sauce) but here it was the vinegar and mint you have with your Sunday roast?!?!?!?!?! Totally bizarre and utterly vile - we binned them after one mouthful.

I made my order. Waited 70 minutes. I called Starvin Marvin and was assured that the food would be there within minutes. Waited another 50 minutes; so I called again and the manager answered and decided to use the following customer service strategy: Denied the order ever been made (despite my confirmation email). Telling me his employee didn’t speak English and therefore it was incorrect to tell me the food was on the way. Telling me the employee was in fact deaf...? I suggested it would be his fault for employing a deaf person who doesn’t understand English to answer the phone. He shouted his points again and hung up on me. Given that I haven’t received any food. I cannot fault the quality and taste of their product. Based upon the quality of customer service, communication within their workplace, and the lying and anger displayed by the manager; I would hazard a guess that the food would also have been a heap of dog s**t.

Formerly a regular, always a fan of the £4.99 medium donner kebab. Today the manager decided to spring lazy pathetic practices on me, a "donner kebab" with an untouched pitta on top of the box. Unwilling to even cooperate. MamaMia is local, equally nice, cheaper, and friendly customer service. AVOID. UNFRIENDLY, RECENTLY BECOME POOR QUALITY

Let’s set the scene, it’s graces 19th birthday. Been to glow. And mr Marvin was in fact starvin. So... we make our way through the streets of Lancaster battling the winds of the north with a southerner, till we find... STARVIN MARVIN!!! We enter, the decoration is good. Although it good do with a seating area, but there was one. But no tables. We ordered, good menu. You get a number like your at Argos. The food arrives, slow service. The chips were perfectly crisp, the pizza was delicious, I think we were all satisfied. All our southern friend recommends is to improve the decor, maybe add some tables. I don’t think a booth would go a miss. One thing I particularly liked was the Christmas spirit at starvin Marvin. I hope everyone has a merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah and a happy new year!

Either that logo is lying or i was promised mario. All i got were some b tech bagels, (kebabs if you are uncultured)

Ordered a shish kebab. This is what I received. Presentation is horrible! Very lazy! Over cooked meat! And no salad. Not happy with the quality..

This used to be the only place to get a kebab. Seriously the large mixed kebab in naan was as large as a limb and you were some man if you could dig it in one go. I always saved half for the day after! But now you pretty much get a tray of meat (the steak replaced with shish) and a naan as small as the ones they knock out 2 for a £1 in Asdas 'takeway' section After building my kebab myself (which was a mess) it was just about warm and could of easily eaten another straight after! For over £8 there are plenty of other places in morecambe especially that will give you the kebab your brain requires but your belly can't! :-) The reason has to be new management. Been ordering my treats from here for years but now it seems to be just one of those places you end up in at 4am after a heavy night and happy with what you are given. No longer a Friday night treat

Ordered many items off the menu here and in my opinion, the kebabs are one of the best I have had in Lancaster.

Great little place this.I ordered several times whilst in Lancaster at University and I had so much satisfaction from eating here. They do deliveries, so why go in the centre of town and eat your burger or kebab there when you can sit in bed and eat there?Anyway, they deliver in good time and the food is always warm. It tastes great and I've never had any issues myself.

Best take away in town always fresh great price clean happy team. I will always go here. If you want fresh and hot. This is your place

The kebab that I had wasn't that great. There are way better kebabs in town. The pizzas and especially the garlic bread look amazing though.

No doubt about it, one of the best kebabs I've had in the uk! Staff very friendly too, prices are good. Was recommended to me by the locals

The large doner kebab on naan is by far the best kebab I've had in the UK. Perfect as the late night carbs after drinking

Use this take-away with delivery everytime when in Lancaster.

Excellent service very quick delivery. The burgers and kebabs are lovely and fresh. Very good value for money hence why we have it most Friday nights. Thank you

I bought fish and chips from there nearly a year ago and the fish was really dry as well as the chips. I would suggest they reduce the size of the menu to improve the quality of the food.

Awful doesn't even come close to describe it. Went this evening on my way home from work. To see that the shop was minging, dirty and just really untidy. Food all over the floor, they dropped the food utensils on the floor, picked them up and continued to use them with the food. They where handling the food with dirty hand and the guy who served us was wiping his sweaty head with his hands as well as scratching his ears, absolutely disgusting!! When I got the food home I plated it up to then find the food they had given me was in fact raw. This knocked me sick even more. What an absolute waste of money, not even worth the one star. Never ever will I be returning here again.

The food is the culinary equivalent of a war crime and the service is even worse. This review isn't a backlash from any particular visit, rather my appraisal based on living and eating in Lancaster over the past three years. If I was to list every bad experience from Starvin Marvin's this would become a short novel. To put it simply the only way SM is still open is because they must bribe environmental health and that they benfit from being in a prime location for passing, inebriated trade and also staying open later than all other establishments.

Food turned up cold when complained came collect food took it away then sent the same food back with extra cheese thinking I wouldn't know dugusting food and service highly reccomend the should be shut down
