Ordered Peking duck which usually comes nicely shredded duck …tonight I got chopped duck fat with a little meat added ..won’t be ordering again

After being on a diet since late January , thought I’d treat myself ..worst thought ever ..duck curry had 2 pieces of duck then all chicken, so salty even the cat wouldn’t eat it….all binned

We ordered a takeaway on Saturday evening at 6pm for delivery at 7pm. We tracked it online and it said the food was being prepared with a countdown clock to when we’d receive it. By 7.30pm we phoned and was told it would be here in half an hour. At 8pm we were told the same and that they hadn’t even started to cook the food yet. We cancelled and the cancellation said there were no drivers and so the order was never coming. So we now have a starving teenager and a ruined Saturday night.

I’d really looked forward to this but 3 mouthfuls in realised it was going in the bin , it was so salty that was all you could taste . I have rung and told them but didn’t reorder as quite late ...I won’t be ordering again ...

I was presented with a note with our latest takeaway informing me that they are no longer going to be taking orders from Just Eat and have moved to a different, lesser known takeaway platform, with a price increase to go with it. Instead of offering free prawn crackers with orders of £15 they have now upped it to £20 minimum, which for a couple is unrealistic as we wouldn't spend that much on a chinese takeaway for two people. Just greedy and unnecessary behaviour when you think how cheap a bag of prawn crackers is. Sigh. Looks like we're going to have to try and find a new chinese takeaway.
