Tony's Restaurant in Gwynedd

I visited this place several years ago with my daughter who was 8 at the time. The owner asked what she was dong at school. She mention that she was learn ing the cello. He produced a violin which he said he had recently acquired at a jumble sale and gave it her to try. She could not play it so he asked if she minded if he tried. What happened then I will never forget. He played that violin to concert violinist standards, absolutely amazing. The food is great but the violin playing is just superb. I hear it is closed temporarily as he has had a hip operation. I wish him a full recovery and my sincere thanks for what he did on the very special visit all those years ago!

Would never go here again They are so rude Not customer friendly Food not good And they would never answer the phone when you wanted to order

We found Tony's takeaway online which was advising it was open, so we drove to go and get food only to find it had closed down till next year. Should of been updated online.

Faultless service, ordered 2 large pizzas which were ready at the agreed time. The pizzas were delicious and had generous toppings. The only let down was the pizza base, sadly not homemade and tasted like a cheap supermarket offering. Surely for a takeaway who’s menu mostly consists of a pizza selection a homemade base isn’t a big ask and would certainly make a big difference.

Called and was answered after a few seconds. Offered a pick up slot in around 30 mins which was perfect. 12” and 9” pizzas along with sides came to less than £24. Delicious and great hot cooked we finished every last crumb. Totally recommended.

Ordered on a Friday night, on hold for about 10 minutes. Friendly operator who said our order would be ready in 30 minutes. Had 3 x 9” pizzas, onion rings and a side of wedges with dip. £24.00. Absolutely delicious, and so fresh and hot. Would recommend . A holiday treat.

Was staying down the road at Shell Island and fancied a take away instead of the burgers and sausages, when we phoned the order we found them very helpful and thorough and they allocated us a collection slot, when we got the food back to camp we were not disappointed, it was all very fresh and cooked to perfection, will definitely come back when we are next down this way.

We’ve been coming here for years as the food is incredible. You can really tell how fresh it is and how much care they put into it. Naturally a place like this is very busy, but the time slots for collection worked perfectly, and the staff were brilliant. If you’re going to eat anywhere in the Barmouth area, eat here!

All very tasty, great to receive food in recyclable packaging. Time slots work really well as food was really quick when we got there.

We'd been recommended Tony's as a place that caters well for coeliacs so visted on our first day of holiday. We were so impressed that we visted twice more during our five day stay. Not only is the food (both pizza and pasta) extremely good, but their gluten free options allowed our daughter to have more choice than she's been used to in a long time. Whether you have specific dietry requirements or not, I totally recommend Tony's as a must-try venue. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g552015-d3417320-r801792594-Tony_s_Takeaway-Talybont_Barmouth_Gwynedd_North_Wales_Wales.html#

After waiting on the phone 45 minutes to place our order we gave up. Two very upset and hungry children, I would not bother wasting your time.

Lots of lovely vegan options, food was amazing, we had vegan pizzas and vegan Alfredo pasta. Both very tasty. The service was excellent and the staff are very friendly. Lots of knowledge of vegan catering and preparation. Thanks again

Thursday 22nd July 2021. This was our second visit in 3 days and the food was as amazing as ever. Spaghetti Alfredo, Spaghetti Bolognese, Pasta Pesto & 2 Garlic Breads. The service was spot on and very friendly. The food yet again was as good as I have tasted. Don’t worry about the waiting time when you order (1 h 15m) there is a reason for this. Fantastic flavours and food you will come back to time and time again. A real hidden gem on the West Wales coast. Well done Tony’s.

Ordered 4 pizzas from here. The base was clearly bought in and nothing Italian about it, just a thick bread base. Toppings ok but was left feeling quite sickly. You can get better from Asda and stick it in the oven yourself.

Had to order by phone(July 21 ) but ready very promptly one of the best gluten and dairy free pizzas I have had in ages the normal pizza got a big thums up as well, drove to beach to eat perfect.

We went twice whilst on holiday in Barmouth and on both occasions we were impressed. We tried both the pizza and pasta and also the Tiramisu and cheesecake. All were excellent and would deffinately recommend.

First time for a long time visit. Booked a takeaway, we had pizzas with potato wedges. Pizzas were fantastic, full after eating just half, so had the rest next day still great. Well organised ( C19 virus) checks ok .

Picked up a lovely tonys pasta meal, it was ready within our 5 min slot. Very generous portion of spaghetti bologna, red pepper lasagne, cheesy garlic bread and beautiful indulgent tiramasu. Very tasty maeL with lovely memories of evening meal in tonys, hope tony is well. Thankyou for a love meal.

Just had a takeout pizza from Tony’s. Freshly cooked and really delicious. Loads of choice on the menu including vegan options and catering for allergies. I had vegan cheese on mine due to a dairy allergy and it was lovely. Couldn’t resist the vegan chocolate fudge cake afterwards....what a treat. Partner had the tiramisu. Both puds were huge and delicious! Due to COVID restrictions at the moment you need to ring ahead to place an order and you get a five minute time slot to collect. Best to check the website for any updates. Well worth it, highly recommend.

We had takeaway from Tony's 2 nights in a row. Pizzas were delicious with the cheesy garlic so ordered again the second night to try the pasta dishes with more garlic bread and tiramusu. The pasta and meatballs were so tasty, you have choice between spaghetti, pasta shells....would definitely recommend it. Ordered early though as gets very busy as popular choice round here.

Unfortunately Tony’s is now closed. He has retired. But his son now runs a great Pizza Take Away from the premises. Pasta dishes are also available and all the different food is delicious. You can make up your own pizzas and pasta meals. Keep going Chris

We order a takeaway often and find the food amazing. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and professional in keeping with the new Covid restrictions. Easy parking & delivery with our time slot very efficient. We recomend the appertising lasagne.

We recently camped in the area and decided to have a couple of Pizza's from Tony's. Order was taken by phone and ready within 15minutes, excellent Covid precautions. The pizza's were absolutely delicious as well as the wedges and onion rings. Can't wait to visit the area again so that we can have another.

Gorgeous food owner and staff are so friendly, funny and helpful! The meatballs were to die for I was so full but kept on eating till I almost exploded!!!

We were disappointed by our pizzas. We ate them, but felt we might as well have got a frozen own brand pizza from the supermarket - nothing offensive about them, but nothing really tasty either.

Only take-away pizzas now but they are brilliant . Easy to order and pay, easy to collect in these strange times.

Been going here for over 10 years lovely food and great service as always , open throughout the winter as well ,

Ordered four pizzas and was given a time slot to collect, was barked at through the window for being five minutes early and ordered off the premises, the pizza base is shocking and tasted like cheap supermarket ready made ones, and the toppings were very average quality, garlic bread is a small baguette with garlic butter which was ok. I (wrongly) assumed it would be an authentic Italian place but it’s definitely not that, we were congratulated on being able to get through on the phone as they were having difficulties, wish I’d not managed to get through now! Avoid you have been warned

I would love to leave a review having been to Tony's for a number of years but on my recent visit I couldn't even place an order!COVID-19 has meant that a lot of businesses have had to review their procedures and fair play to Tony's they have done the same - you can no longer turn up to place an order you MUST ring to place it and turn up at your allocated time to collect.We had just come off the beach and decided on a pizza from Tony's so rang at their opening time - number busy, we tried and tried (ringing every 15 seconds for 45 minutes) and every time it was engaged - I cannot believe that the line was constantly busy and seemed as though they had left the phone off the hook!!! In the end we gave up and spent our money elsewhere.Tony's have got an outdoor catering van and I am sure they could use this whilst still maintaining social distancing - if they rely on phone orders I expect they will be sorely disappointed!

We had a takeaway yesterday evening ordered Pizza, Lasagne and Spaghetti. We were given an allocated time slot for collection and the food was ready when we arrived and the staff are very friendly too. The food was brilliant, really lovely Italian food, super fresh and very tasty

We ordered two pizzas, the pasta Alfredo and the Tiramisu. Firstly all of the hot food was barely warm, but we were hungry so didn’t really mind.More significantly, the pasta was utterly grotesque! Overcooked to the point of wobbling like jelly and the “Alfredo” sauce, bland, watery and unseasoned. For £8, this is criminal. I have eaten better quality ready meals. I’m afraid it went in the bin and i stir-fried some courgettes in garlic butter instead.The pizzas were okay- standard 7” Margarita for my 5 year old was eaten, but the Cacciatore or “Huntsman” was sweet to the point of toothache. The Tiramisu was mostly whipped cream and lacked the depth of coffee flavour you would expect.All in all, even for a small seaside town, this place is depressingly awful.

Visit here often for our Lasagne delicious, good portion and fleshly cooked. Staff friendly & welcoming. Recomend for good quality food.

Well, here we are again in Tal-y-Bont our favourite place and our favourite restaurant but what a shock!!!We we're all set for one of Tony's wonderful meals only to find the restaurant door boarded up, a small stark room with a high counter - a piece of wood around the walls posing as a bench and a quite obnoxious man trying to sell us "authentic" pizzas. We asked about Tony only to be told "he's still here and now we are serving food from here" We ordered 3 pizzas and some spicy chicken and then went for a well deserved drink at the Ysgethin pub as the wait was 30mins +!!!!End result a sad evening - pizzas mediocre, chicken wings greasy and nasty, service aggressive and un-welcoming and very over priced. My advice - go to the Ysgethin and have a nice cosy drink, friendly staff and a menu that looks really good. Tony - loved your food and restaurant for over 15yrs. I guess all good things have to come to an end. My suggestion is just close up completely because this is leaving a bad taste and memory

We visited Tony's pizza restaurant recently while on holiday in the area.Such a great shame to hear about the restaurant closing. I have very fond memories of the cozyness of the place, and sadly it's lost all of that and all the character.We ordered Pizza's and they were tasty enough, but was looking for a sit down meal. Sorely disappointed.

Me and my partner tryed here on Sunday night as most things were closed or we couldn’t be bothered to drive far . Well I wished I had now the food was tasteless and we had pizza and 2 lots of pasta which after one bite of it all it went in the bin the only thing which we ate was the chips and the cans of pop as you can’t go wrong with them

16 of us have been visiting tony's restaurant and the caravan next door where they did pizzas.We been visiting for over 10 years and previously we have given outstanding reviews. However this year we visited, restaurant has gone and pizzas are now made inside instead of the caravan outside. .. Oh no what's happened to the bases are they not cooked internally anymore where they were nice and fresh, are they now bought in because they were awful. I'm afraid most of the 16 pizzas we bought ended up in the bin.Your loss tony's restaurant we won't be visiting you again pity..They always say All good things finally come to an end,well this time a good restaurant and pizza place has certainly done just that.

We were staying in Talybont and decided to give the pizza a try. We ordered a chicken and vegetable pizza and a vegetarian pizza. We had mozzarella sticks with garlic mayo as a side and tiramisu for dessert. The pizza was tasty but a bit too much cheese for my personal taste. It was hot, with plenty of topping and ready in 20 minutes. The mozzarella sticks were lovely. The tiramisu was a huge portion and very creamy. I would definitely order again.

We ordered a takeaway from Tony's tonight and food and value were excellent. We had Seafood Pizza, Beef Lasagne and Chicken Wings and each of these was the best I have had for ages. We will definitely use again.

Yummy pizza and sides, about 1.5cm thick with cheese. The lady who takes the orders is very friendly and whilst we were waiting we heard her ask every customer in the phone if they have food allergies or intolerances.

Had a takeaway for the first time,Pizzas were very nice,we ordered a variety of things and all were cooked lovely.Would reccomend a visit.

Called in at Tony's to discover the restaurant was borded up only the takeaway pizza section in operation. The entrance was blocked up but no notice was displayed to say why.I ordered a pizza, garlic bread which is a small baguette and not a mini pizza style and wedges. It took over 25 minutes to get the order and apart from a homemade bench that goes all around the wall and is only suitable for a kid, I would recommend waiting in the car. Definitely not as good as previous years and the staff are not Italian either.

Have had a holiday home in Talybont for 2 years and in that time this place has gone downhill rapidly. It now only offers takeaway and the quality of that isnt good.... not to mention the wait times and the time spent trying to get through on the phone to place an order and the poor attitude of the staff.

Tony has retired so the restaurant is closed. The pizza take away is still open under new owners. So we didn't go as we wanted an Italian restaurant.

Ordered a pepperoni pizza for takeout, got home sat at the table licking my lips.... On opening the box what hit me most was not the vivid lack of Italian authenticity but the shallow puddle of grease sitting upon it. But hey ho i thought id better give it a go. So, after soaking up the grease with a kitchen towel I began to eat what can only be described as a slice of pure cholesterol. Pretty sure Tony's real name is John and he just grabs the pizza from the freezer. Wont be returning.

2 lovely pizzas at a good price.extremely helpful and friendly staff who sorted out my daughter's request for just pasta which she loved.Recommended.

After waiting 40 mins for a pizza I thought it would be worth the wait, how wrong I was, it was so dry I couldn’t eat it it ended up in the bin, we was so hungry after our long walk yet two of us only had half between us,

With limited takeaway options in the area, we decided on Tony's. Couldn't have been happier - very fair price for a fantastic and yummy pizza! Excellent service and wonderfully friendly :)

Another visit to Dyffryn and yet another visit to Tony's, always do great food to take away, the pizzas are always fresh and piping hot.top stuff.

I ordered a take-away Thursday night and i was greeted with friendliness and professionalism and was told my food would be ready roughly around 15 to 20 minutes so i sat down and waited and the next minute my food was out and ready to go in the firts 10 minutes the chefs worked well and efficiently and prepared my food so quick, talk about fast food!i would highly recommend tonys!!

Have been coming for years to Tony’s and loved it. turn up today, chefs both in baseball caps and the female chef blowing bubblegum in kitchen!! Not sure that standards are still being met with the old staff gone. A very different experience :(

Friendly folk, but as others have pointed out, don't expect the Italian home made pizza experience. These pizzas are on thick stodgy bought in bases, with too much cheese. OK if you're hungry I guess, but do yourself a favour, go buy a fresh pizza from the Co-op in Barmouth, tastes a lot better and at half the price. We won't be goin gback I'm afraid

We paid two visits to Tony’s whilst staying in Tal-y-Bont. Disappointed restaurant wasn’t open anymore and ‘Tony’ has retired. Chris and his staff were a delight. Food delicious, pizza was cooked to perfection and piping hot. We returned on last day of holiday and had lasagne with salad (very generous portion) and really hot and a chicken pasta dish, which was again really tasty.

We always eat at tonys for 20 plus years when we had our holiday home there our kids grew up knowing Tony, due to go down to stay with our friends for catch up and cant believe we will not eat there again, all upset but going on talybont it went dramatically down when places altered. Our friends now going selling up due to decline in barmouth. Tony you were one in a million and food superb you made our holidays so happy God bless.

Went as a spur of the moment thing after being on the beach all night. To feed a family of four was very good value. The german girl behind the counter was very nice as was the gentleman making our pizzas.

This is now a pizza and pasta takeaway only as the restaurant is permanently closed. Takeaway food is really good and varied.

Average really. One of the pizzas had a burnt crust. Other one was ok. No better than supermarket pizza to be honest.

After phoning in our order which was taken with due diligence in making sure it was correct, we collected the order and enjoyed a perfect meal of meatballs, pizza, and pasta plus great wedges, super service, would use again.

Was staying in Sunnysands and a friend within the group said Tony's was a fab place to order from for some tasty and filling food and she wasn't wrong. We got the menu easily from Prof Google, nice selection of pizzas, pastas and sides. I thought the prices were really reasonable. We rang ahead and placed an order for collection and were told it would be ready in 20 minutes. Friends collected via car and brought back some lovely grub. I had ricotta and spinach stuffed tortellini with pesto, chicken and parmesan, and it was fantastic, big portion and big taste. I couldn't finish it all but saved it for leftovers which was still lovely. My friends pizza looked really nice, she went for the seafood option and it was nicely packed with toppings. Other friends had various pasta dishes and some very nice looking garlic bread and cheese. I would definitely recommend eating from here, the food was great, no mistakes with the order and a great price for what was received!

When we stay at the sands in talybont we always have a Tony's pizza which is a bloody beaut.so is the sides.if in the area it's a must have.you won't be disappointed

Whilst camping nearby, we tried Tony's one night for take away pizza. The food was ready exactly when stated, it was exactly as ordered and was very well priced. The portion sizes were very generous. We'd had a day of activities so we were really hungry and couldn't finish the portions, they were that big. As an added bonus, take away pizzas can be greasy, salty or both, but these were neither and were still very tasty. We are of the opinion that this is exactly how take away pizza should be. We didn't eat in the restaurant itself so can't comment on facilities or service in that regard.

We have stayed in Tal-y-Bont twice this year and eaten here both times. Delicious Italian food, very family friendly, cosy restaurant with really attentive staff. Both our children (aged 10) loved the menu including creating your own pasta dish. Worth booking a table in school holidays and at weekends. Great value for money.

We were staying local and visited Tony Pizza following good reviews.

Quirky little Italian restaurant in Tal-Y-Bont...not just pizzas and pasta however, though both are very good indeed. I had sea bass and there were plenty of other specials board choices of "proper" Italian dishes.

Staying a few miles away for a short break, and noticed this restaurant on a list for the area, With a liking for Italian food this was our first evenings choice. Attentive staff and the 'Affable' Tony on hand for a chat.

This must be the dirtiest pizza Italia restaurant I've every been in ,you can smell the grease in the air .the decor is something from the 70s the staff sit next to the fire vaping not good .on getting pizza walking out of the place your clothes stink . Andhad to take pizza back as what I asked for was not what I asked for .so I took it back he did give money back .and you could see cross contamination of cutting pizzas if your a veggie ask for it not to be cut . we will never go back again need new face lift and chef's

We had a takeaway pizza from Tony’s, enjoyed it and thought we’d go back for a sit-in meal. This is a popular little family restaurant, booking is recommended. We waited for a table, received excellent friendly service and our meals, starter of calamari, mains meatballs with spaghetti and seafood linguini, were delicious. Had a glass of very good house red wine. We highly recommend dining at Tony’s.

We had pizza and chips as a takeaway but I'm afraid it wasn't good,soggy pizza and greasy chips with a fatty aftertaste.We never ate in restaurant so can't comment on that.

An intimate authentic Italian restaurant which was recommended to us by our Air B&B; host (you'd probably drive past it if you didn't know where it was). We had 3 courses and the food was well cooked, arrived on time and was very tasty. The service was personal and genuinely attentive and the atmosphere was relaxed and unhurried.

Pizza good, plenty of cheese and tomato, nice base. Good value. If you ring before very efficient as keep to time. Had pasta in past, also very good, with well prepared sauces.

....Went with my family for a meal to get away from the rain! Booked a table for four.

2 hour wait on bank holiday weekend was worth every second! Ordered a 10.5 inch gluten free pizza and it was delicious. Would definitely recommend :)

To find a restaurant that is consistently good is like trying to find a piece of 24 caret gold. Yet here in Talybont is somewhere you are able to recommend and know that a good meal will be provided. This restaurant is a gem, small, welcoming, nothing too much trouble for the staff and the food faultless all the ingredients for a perfect enjoyable evening. Couples or families are made feel welcome and the menu caters for everyone.

We read the reviews on here after we booked (as our son raised it with us), so we were a bit dubious about then going and thought about cancelling. To the reviews saying do NOT eat here... Seriously...lighten up. No offence, but gosh... The staff were really friendly. The food was very nice and the restaurant is normal in terms of acoustics and I didn't find it noisy and awful. I've only been once and I'm seeking to write a very honest review here. Would I go back? Yes, of course. Did I see anything dirty and or unhygienic? No, I did not. Tony, who we only met last night, was a nice down-to-Earth, slightly cheeky host. Maybe it's a generation thing, but he was absolutely fine and was very friendly and just sought to be happy and pleasant with everyone. Just go and experience it for yourself. We did and cannot identify with the negative reviews left on here. Bon appetit!

Always grab a pizza from Tony's when are on Holiday,never lets us down, fresh pizza with loads of choice.

We were in a family group and my husband and I are both vegan.

We were camping nearby for one night. There's a real lack of good food places around here - the pub over the road was uninviting - and the campsite outlets were all horrid. Tony's however was great - lovely friendly staff, and fantastic takeaway pizza. Wholly recommend this!

What a wonderful little find this was!!

Never been to a restaurant where the staff are so rude and patronising. Thought it was a one off on the last visit but clearly proven wrong on this occasion. Will be sure to never make the mistake of visiting again.

We have eaten in Tonys a few times over the years and purchased pizza from their side outlet.

I went for a meal with my daughters it was full the first night we tried so booked a table for the following night.. how disappointing we came here years ago and the food was great they definitely haven't got the same chef anymore.

We went to Tony’s having driven past many times and I have to say, it was lovely. The food was delicious and the staff very polite and attentive. Portions were huge and everything was freshly made. Would highly recommend a visit.

We really enjoyed our evening meal at Tony’s. Excellent house red helped and the food was perfectly acceptable and good value.

Great quality pizza, chicken nuggets and sides from Tony's. An excellent value for money meal for campers and caravaners.

Had a few days holiday in a rental cottage. Decided to try a pizza from Tony's . Ordered a sweet corn and tuna pizza. Got it back to the cottage only to find about a teaspoon of tuna dumped in the middle and a few bits of sweet corn. The menu says "we fully load out pizzas". Very disappointed and won't be going back.

We were staying nearby and this restaurant had good reviews

Was a bit apprehensive having read the previous reviews Great food well cooked and hot with excellent service . It was clear other diners were also enjoying their food Well worth the visit and will return during the week

On our last day in the area, we thought we will have a take away from Tony's.

Lovely friendly service and the food was great too.

We had dinner at Tony's in Talybont recently. We really weren't looking for Italian food, but for ten people at one time, this was the best available. It turned out to be a fine choice. The restaurant was small, very Italian, and very neat and clean. The host and waiter were very efficient and cordial, even with the John Wayne joke. The food was excellent, and we tried a little bit of everything. After dinner, the chef came out and showed us the eels swimming in the little stream outside the restaurant. This was one of our better meals on a recent two week trip to the Lake District and North Wales.

Me and my friend went to Tony’s after a day out in Barmouth, we walked to the guy on the desk who was friendly but made things a little uncomfortable with his comments . We ordered our food and we expected more in the menu but was ok. We started eating our food and as we looked over to the desk the guy smoking his vape and blowing his nose! Put me straight off my food and I’d wasted most of it! I was furious at this point as I spent money there for nothing. By the end I just wanted to leave and it took longer to recive the bill than it did waiting for the food. Won’t be going back!

We finally visited Tony's after many recommendations from my brother. The food was lovely, arrived in good time and was reasonably priced. Service from the waiter was very pleasant and Tony himself was entertaining and helpful despite the tragic loss of his son and chef which he spoke openly about.

We popped in after a day in Barmouth. We were greeted by a older gentleman who was friendly. They were quick to take our order. There was a few customers waiting for takeaway but we were the only ones in restaurant. Obviously Tony was a little stressed and could hear everything said in the kitchen which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. We both had pasta. Mine was definitely not homemade which was a disappointing and was very similar to the ready meal in supermarket and the pesto was out of a jar. My husband had a seafood linguine which was average but he would eat anything. The price reflected the the quality. Definitely won’t be returning.

We visited Tony’s restaurant at 8.30pm on a Sunday evening whilst on a recent short break to Barmouth. As we had passed the restaurant on a journey to Harlech we decided to eat there as an option to the endless Pub Grub options that can be found anywhere in this area.

Every noise in the room was very loud and the owner likes to chat about smacking his kids. I left early. I'd already felt unable to have any kind of conversation with my partner because of the acoustics. And then felt like I'd stumbled into a safe space for abusers to share their stories. Gross, no thanks. Gorgeous food though and I'm very impressed by the chef's understanding of coeliac disease.

We were staying on Shell Island and wanted somewhere to eat after a long drive and putting the tent up.

Lovely interior in the restaurant, very quaint and pleasant so I was looking forward to the meal. Unfortunately the pizzas didn't live up to expectation. Quite frankly they tasted like a frozen pizza from a supermarket. I had been hoping for freshly baked, more authentic pizza, Dominos pizza taste better! Shame as I'm sure it would be a little gold mine if the food was authentic. Friendly waitress though.

There are no other options on a Sunday night in Talybont, if you don't want to cook.

Had really poor tasteless cheese tart off the specials board and it was anything but special .Served with supposedly home made slaw and salad ..rip off at £12.was worth a fiver at most. Service was polite but meal big let down

On our recent holiday to Wales, we went to Tony's because we saw their ad which said 'Coeliac Guests welcome' and, give them credit, they did have gluten free options available. That's why I've given them 1 out of 5.

We were staying just outside of Tal-y-Bont for the second week of the school spring break and had past Tony's a number of times in the car. After climbing Cader Idris on the second to last day, didn't fancy cooking so decided to give Tony's a try.
