My previous reviews put excellent but downed the ratings due to food and service . Being regular customer myself and hubby after along shift at work ordered for delivery choosing single fish and other items fish was not nice at all when placed in mouth rubbery and chewy the fish had been lying phoned the shop got operator who tried to tell me fish was fresh told the girl you eat it then maybe fish fresh but batter on fish was certainly not fresh , so after few minutes decided to send another one but maybe think your buttoned up the back ! All i will say is not fresh reheat . I hate waste fish went in bin and money wasted 🤬 shall not order again shame as loved chippy . Bye vittorios .

Two fish suppers came to £17.60. Popped in and ordered at 7pm. It was quiet so I didn't have long to wait. Chips were good,nicely cooked not too dry or under fried. The fish had a nice flake to them, had no smelly fish taste that I find in some places.The batter was a little a bit soft not sure if was due to the sauce and travel for five mins in the box. The greaseproof paper was stuck to the fish, so I had to slowly scrape it off with a knife. Good amount of chips and fish was two pieces.Overall not bad and would order again.

If a chip shop can’t even serve fresh chips instead of dried up reheats they deserve to go out of business, it is really not difficult. Won’t be back

Absolutely shocking service been going to this chippy for over 22 years and the service I received was atrocious. Had 4 meals. Asked for no salad and separate sauce on kebab but first fish was all stuck to paper chips and curry was squashed and pouring out and the scrunchy was soggy. The donner kebab however came with the sauce one top. It actually didn’t look like chilli either it looked like salsa it was very thick. We phoned to ask and got screamed down the phone and told there was a charge we are fine with that but they didn’t say this while ordering. Maybe if the girl serving was actually paying attention. Told to take back over for them not to even sort it for us. Told us to never come back again and gave us our money back but not even the right amount £6 not £6.50. So one of us had nothing even if we wanted it was the best looking thing to be honest. This place has went right down hill and after tonight’s experience they actually thought we’d go back is a joke and to get dirty looks walking into a chippy for a wrong order is disrespectful. The attitude the owner presented was appalling and allowing his daughter to scream about me while on the phone is atrocious. Avoid at all costs

Order here usually at least once a week, usually great no problems with food. On this occasion an item was missing from our order which was over £50. Called 38 times and they didn’t answer their phone before I went down only to get there to have attitude from staff saying they put it in the bag, basically calling me a liar. I says I wouldn’t come down over a sausage supper, to be told you only stay round the corner. Had to leave 4 kids under 5 at my mums who’s disabled to go there. Shocking customer service and attitude for a regular customer. Disgrace, work in a restaurant/takeaway myself and I know accidents happen, admit your fault and apologise and rectify it don’t belittle customers in your shop in front of other people for your mistakes.

See Courtney Heaneys review, basically same experience but ordered delivery of 4, yup 4 items , delivered 3 then after phoning and being told that 2 were packed together when they weren't they called back to say they'd get the one bag of chips out straightway, I told them not to bother and keep them. Driver turns up 40 minutes later with chips!! Told him to keep them and I wouldnt be back. Used to be a good chippy dont know what's happened but the chips were 1/2 cooked, the pizza base 12 was 1/2 done as well. Disappointing really but I'mfrom Uphall , guess the few more miles to Aldos will be worth it.

Went in to collect my food that was ordered online for it to be missing a drink and a curry dip. When went back in the staff tried to tell me I was wrong until I brought up the order then huffed and got my missing items. I used to love this place and at one point would have given 5*s but the staffs attitudes and the lack of checking to ensure orders were filled has sorely brought this down now.

Ordered a carbonara and a king rib supper. The carbonara for my wife was lovely however the king rib has to be the worst thing I’ve ever had from a chippy. The batter was thick and stodgy with a consistency like plasticine. One bite and it went in the bin.

Great pizzas and the fish and chips are also great. Also great if you order in shop or pick up you get a FREE bottle of fizzy juice and if you order online for pick up or delivery you get 10% off( update the free fizzy juice offer has ended now 😒). The only thing that would make this 5 stars would be the delivery charge which is £2.50 for myself which is a bit high considering I'm really not far at all. But the most important this is the food which has always been good to great. It really should be 4.5 stars 🌟

When I phoned to check for allergens, as my daughter has an egg allergy I asked if the burger has egg. Their answer was yes it did have. I subsequently asked which items they had which didn't have any egg? Rather than checking, they just said everything has egg. I understand that they are being extra cautious but when you are being lied too, it's not good customer service. All they had to do is check the box or have an allergen menu at hand. I've bought pizzas from here before many times for my daughter and she was fine, so I know that not "everything" has egg in it. If they are too lazy to check for allergens, I wonder what else they might be lazy with? Hmmm....

Poor customer service!! Ordered a chicken kebab, however on getting home my husband found it to be burnt black. He ate 2 small bits of chicken and couldnt eat anymore due to the overpowering taste of charcoal. I took the kebab back and was going to ask them if they could just make a burger instead. I walked up to the counter and whispered to the staff as there was another customer in. The lovely girl behind the counter took it to show the guy who cooked it. He called over another staff member and began ranting before coming over to me. He told me that there was nothing wrong with the kebab and it was cooked perfectly!! I stated that it was unedible due to burnt taste. He then started ranting that he cleaned the grill everynight and that there was nothing wrong with hygiene! I replied that I never questioned the cleanliness of the place and that we had been in frequently over the past few weeks with no concerns. I also stated that we thought that the food had been lovely and we really liked it. He brought the kebab back over to show me that it was perfect, however when I stated that it looked burnt to me he said well thats a small bit!! I found him to be very rude, patronising and confrontational!!! I was going to ask just for a burger (which was a fraction of the price of a kebab, I would have said that it didnt matter about the price difference), however he never even gave me the option. He stated that I could get a refund and then tried to put it through as a small kebab, when I informed him that it was a large kebab he scoffed and said that there were only 4 pieces of chicken left!! I wont be back after being treated like that! Its a shame really as the food was lovely prior to this; the shop does look clean and the women behind the counter were really nice. But the customer service was atrocious!!!

I phoned the shop this evening to explain I was not happy with the Large Kebab I ordered . The staff had no customer service skills and nothing was done about it .The kebab they sent was small , it arrived with no salad dressing and not so feesh salad that smells. £7.30 for a small kebab with rotten salad . No value for money accompanied with poor customer service .

Used them regularly when we fancy a chip supper - we don't order fish as it's poor quality. Staff are never that friendly but as I just want food I was never that bothered until today - ordered online through them, food took the 40 mins they said (normally they are either super early or super late the times don't seem to mean much) what annoyed me was ordering a 2l bottle of coke and getting a 1.5l bottle. When I rang up to query it, I was told they don't sell 2l bottles and Just Eat is wrong (I ordered directly through Vittorio's website). I then proceeded to listen to a man in the background rant about my call and say that's what you get when you order with Just Eat. I was asked what else I expected as a 1.5l bottle is the biggest you can get (pretty sure you can buy a 2l bottle and that is what the receipt they provided said I had paid for). What annoyed me was the so what attitude - it felt very much 'we've had your money now go away' - I felt ripped off - maybe the till receipt is wrong, maybe the website is, either way the we don't care attitude has left me knowing I won't use them again, the lukewarm chips being the final nail in the coffin. Oh but I got a refund - when the driver was made to come back round and I had handed the coke back....

If it was possible to leave less than one star I would - Absolutely horrible experience dealing with this takeaway. We ordered a meal for 4 via their website and paid via PayPal. After received confirmation we waited over an hour for delivery but nothing came. When we called to question this but the girl who took the call was argumentative and unhelpful and couldn't even identify if they had sent the food or not. We waited a further 10min in case it was already out with the driver and called back to complain and reorder as at this point we had been waiting almost 1.5h for our food! We placed an order over the phone and waited a further hour when we called to ask what was going on we were informed that the order was not actually coming as they had to wait for a manager for some reason. Unbelievably poor service, fair enough their website doesn't work, but failing to send food out food the second time after we called in order placed was ridiculous. 8:30pm and sitting waiting for foot at 11pm! Fix your website and have a word with your abrasive staff. Needless to say we will not be ordering from here again #11pmandstarving
