Five stars, without question, are bestowed upon this establishment with the highest...

Rarely does a business deserve one star—this is an exception.

In short: I called three branches with no answer until I persistently called this one four times. When I finally got through, the employees lacked common sense and couldn’t solve a simple issue by adding an extra sauce, even when I provided a solution and logistics at no cost to them.

Full story: Earlier today, I ordered a meal via Deliveroo, including churros, but wasn’t given the option to select a dip for churros. Normally, dips are included when ordered separately. Upon receiving my order, no dip was provided. No big deal—the food was good.

Three hours later, I placed another order for my brother and called ahead to ask for an extra dip so I could have my churros.. After struggling to reach any of the nearest three branches, a polite-sounding employee finally answered. She acknowledged the app might be at fault and said they’d address it in the future and continued with a minute of silence which I found unhelpful and therefore suggested a simple solution: include an extra dip with my current second order. She refused, saying it wasn’t on the receipt. I explained that you cannot add a dip separately, and she could clearly see my previous order was missing one. Despite agreeing to my point, she refused again. I attempted to point out how ridiculous this is is as their churros can only be order with a sauce which is included in the price and asked who would order it without a sauce to which she had no reply.

After repeated back-and-forths, I realized I was wasting time and contacted Deliveroo. They couldn’t cancel the order but refunded my churros without asking after I provided a photo.

When my second order for my brother arrived, no extra dip was included for my initial order and unfortunately, the dip provided for his was barely half a tiny tub for six churros (photos attached). If this is the standard, it’s unacceptable. The food itself was good, but the sheer non existence of common sense and customer service ruined the experience.

On that note, I’m off to make my own chocolate sauce rather than let this nonsense ruin...

Just going to start this by saying, actually the best wings I've ever tasted in my life.

Not very hot but maybe I didn't order a hot option. However from what I saw and heard I did.

The honey bbq chilli, I believe.

By far the greatest tasting wings, from what I experienced I just wanted to stay all day and their eat wings. But I was busy.

I ordered 5, the price was okay for London. I just found myself wishing I had more.

I went to the team and the spoke to me, I was super excited and they matched me.

The staff team Shannay and Francis was super supportive and lovely to chat to Francis could see I was very much enjoying my stay and offered me 3 wings with a different taste, no doubt to get me hooked on the wings. while I waited for the rest I ordered.

It did take a while to get my second order, however it wasn't a busy time and they weren't expecting me to order the whole shop of wings. Which I could have.

(Do a challenge of how many wings you can eat, invite me down and I'd win.)

The location is hard to find just because of the mall being underground, being tucked away in the back corner underground is out of their control.

The shop is small but they use what they have.

They are near lots of other food choices, which can be distracting. I'd recommend this over all others around them.

I should be coming to another store soon to try more favours. Only because I heard there are closer branches to me around London.

Now I am not training for any marathons and resting, you will be seeing me...
