"This as far from a five star hotel as you can get in this area. And they don 't care. While not staying there, after a day walking around central London, I was tempted by their street signage advertising drinks and shisha on their rooftop Soho Sky Terrace, on the 6th floor. There was only 1 other table of 4 people when I walked in. Two staff seated behind bar. No welcome from them, both on their phones. They were casually dressed in jeans and hoodies. I walked up and ordered a glass of wine (they only had a selection of 2) and a shisha. Pleasant setting with rooftops view but old and run down seating. Dirty table.. I asked them to clean it. Wine was served in a plastic glass and was definitely off. I requested a fresh one which took 10 minutes as he had to go away to get a new bottle. There were 3 outdoor heaters and it was a cold evening, so I asked if they could switch one on. He replied no..we 're out of gas . I said what, on all 3? He shrugged and said yeah..that 's why the other table left . My work colleagues were going to join me..I said don 't bother, we 'll go elsewhere . The bill was £66.50. £16.50 for a glass of very average wine and £50.00 for poor shisha. My mistake for not checking prices before I ordered but totally overpriced for the area (which I am very familiar with). No wonder they had no one one there at 7pm on a Thursday evening."

"I have had quite a few lovely takeaways from Skewers and have put on glowing reviews. Heard it was under new management but hoped the quality and service would still be as good. They weren’t. Firstly it took an hour and a half for my meal to arrive even though the website “tracking” was saying my meal had been delivered for the last 20 minutes of that time. When it arrived the bags were wet on the bottom and I was warned to hold them underneath so the food wouldn’t fall out. On looking the bag with the salads in looked as if it already had fallen out. One of the salads and one of the sauces were open and upside down (he seems the wet bag Despite specifying no cucumber (due to an allergy all three salads had cucumber in making them inedible The two kebabs were cold and the meat was over cooked and dry. Several bits were so burned I thought they had put charcoal in by mistake. The doner meat and fries used to just be meat and fries but this time it was covered in loads of salad and masses of a white sauce (mayonnaise? . The salad had loads of cucumber in it so this dish was also inedible. Even without the cucumber it was stone cold and couldn’t be microwaved as it was covered in salad and Mayo. The two kebabs were cold and we tried microwaving them but the meat was so dry and tough they also got binned. All in all the meal cost £25 and 98% went in the bin. I rang the shop and the girl sounded as if she’d heard it all before. They had been rushed off their feet but she would get the manager to ring me back. Unsurprisingly he didn’t. So sad to see the best kebab shop in Chelmsford become this bad in just a few months"
