Stumpy's Takeaways — Restaurant in Northland

Been getting takeaways from Stumpy's for years, driving across town past other takeaway shops to get there. After tonight's experience though, I will be going somewhere else.

You are going to lose more customers...

This is very disappointing considering this business has held such a great reputation for many years. Please lift your game and stop ripping...

Score maybe 2.5... We were passing by so decided to pick-up f & c for tea. First time there.. Usual offerings available, plus shrimp and raw fish etc punnets.

First impressions as you enter is it's 'grubby' as the door is filthy, floors need cut and polish. Not sure what Councils rating is, but it's not 'A' for sure. Much better operators around especially in Te Kamo. Staff pleasant enough. Parking and...
