The Ben Chippy & Takeaway — Restaurant in Manchester

We made a big mistake we ordered without looking at the reviews on google. We ordered a special 12" pizza, peri burger meal and 2 milkshakes last night. I couldnt leave a review last night I've had an upset stomach. The pizza we nasty. The pizza dough must have been sat around for a good few days. Crust was hard and the colour of the dough was different. Pizza had a bad smell to it. Toppings weren't any better. They looked the had been sat around for a week in the prep station. They don't rotate stock and the toppings were off. The onions had mould on them. The topping were all shrivelled up and looked nasty. The chicken donner topping had bones in them. Pizza base smelt and tasted weird. Next the peri burger meal. The burger was a frozen chicken burger which got grilled and put some peri burger sauce to make out that it was a fresh peri peri burger. They slashed a tonne of mayo on it and loads of salad on it which we didn't ask for. I couldn't taste peri peri burger because it was drenched in mayo. The chips tasted of old oil which hadn't been changed in ages. Milkshakes were really bad also. Something was off either the ice cream or the milk they used. We threw everything away. No wonder they've got an offer on. If you spend £25 you get 40 % off. I bet hardly anyone orders from this place. That's why they've got these offers on. My total came to around £27 with the discount I wasted around £17 on horrible food. I don't know these guys are still in business. Worst takeaway we've had. Please don't order from here. You'll be getting the runs and get food poisoning....

I popped into the Ben Chippy today for the first time, as my regular chip shop (the Golden Apple) was closed. I was also interested to see if the Ben Chippy did decent chips (as those from the Golden Apple have gone downhill a bit since the recent change of ownership). The staff in the Ben Chippy were friendly and welcoming. They told me that their chips were freshly made but when I tried them I came to doubt that as I found that they were lukewarm and sadly soggy. In my view chips should at least be hot so I found them inedible and that education cost me £1.20. I didn't want to waste them so I put them out for the pigeons but even the pigeons wouldn't eat them (true) so they went in the green bin. This review is from my own experience, it was based on one purchase of chips (I wouldn't buy from there a second time). I reiterate that the staff in the Ben Chippy seemed nice folk, I don't want to damn them with a bad review based on only one sample so I must advise that you may have a different experience - maybe I'm just too fussy in expecting chips to be hot and fresh when I'm told that they're...

Previously gave 5 stars but now changed to 1 since new ownership/staff. Been a regular customer here for over 6 years so take this as an honest review. Food is now always stone cold when delivered as drivers do not use the keep warm bags. Staff also do not use foil to wrap food either. Raised this with staff who basically said I was lying and then changed to "its impossible to keep the food warm as the salad makes it cold when its put on!" Chicken donner meat is now very bad quality. Every 3rd mouthful is full of hard fatty gristle. Half the time, staff now hardly speak English when answering phone which makes orders very hard. Shame because this was our go to takeaway for years. Won't be ordering from here again. And the fake reviews on here at not...
