Sorry Tree Island
Can't patronise your shop anymore until you start providing hot 'cooked' food from the pot of from food-warmers.

I purchased a large curry goat meal (£18) only for the woman to dissappear round the back of the shop, she returned with 2no large containers, and went straight to the microwave, I stopped her and asked to bag the food so I could reheat-re-cook at home.
The curried goat was freezing cold and clearly out of the fridge.... Didn't want to make a fuss so just made the purchase.

Read moreI ordered a rum cake here and boy I was not disappointed. The cake was large, fresh and moist. It was for my sister who is a professional birthday her colleagues of mixed ethnic origins loved it. Her flatmates is from the Caribbean and said it is the best time cake she had ever tasted. The chef Anthony is approachable and listened to what I was asking for. He was friendly and helpful. When I went to collect the rum cake the premises was clean and the fresh food was being prepared.
