"We order from the canton Wiwo at least once a month and have always found the food delicious and the staff friendly. We decided to try the City Centre shop last week what a mistake that was! Our food took over 2 hours to arrive but with it being a Friday night we let that slide. While we were waiting a Adriana phoned and I quote said ‘You wanted chilli chips, no’ after some questioning we realised that a sleeping sounding Adriana was trying to tell us that they had run out of chips. She did however offer to change the order to rice and said she would add a bottle of coke due to us paying extra for the chips, we agreed that this was fine and thanked her for the heads up. When the food arrived (without the promised drink) it was stone cold but we were so hungry by then we tucked straight in. The Katsu chicken was burnt and the rice was gooey and over cooked, both totally inedible. Our saving grace was the fact that we ordered satay chicken scewers as sides. We opened the chicken and after dipping one into the sauce my partner stopped me from eating it. He had realised that they had replaced the peanut sauce with a pot of mayonnaise instead (I’m not allowed to eat mayo due to a health condition). This was alarming so we phoned the shop straight away to discuss all issues above. The still sleepy Adriana admitted to adding Mayo instead of the usual peanut sauce because they had run out. I explained that this was disappointing as she had already phoned us to say they didn’t have any chips and asked why she hadn’t mentioned this so we could alter our order, to which she replied ‘don’t know’. We again mentioned all of our other issues including the fact that the food was totally inedible and Adriana asked ‘What do you want me to do?’ I suggested a refund as they were unable to fulfil the order we had placed. She agreed and said she would pass our details onto her manager. I asked when we would receive the refund and she said up to 5 working days. Skip to today (5 working days later). I call to ask about our refund only to be greeted by the rudest girl I have ever had the displeasure of talking to. She told me I’d have to call back to talk to that specific girl at a time that was inconvenient to me. I explained that my issue was with the company rather than a specific member of staff so I just wanted an update on the refund. She refused to listen to my request and talked over me. I asked her name and she refused to give it to me so I asked for her managers contact details which she also refused to give to me. Then she had the audacity to say ‘you’re not getting your refund so what are you going to do about it?’ And put the phone down! Although it was inconvenient I later called the store again and thankfully the cal was answered by Adriana. I explained I was calling about the refund that she had promised the previous week and she handed the phone to yet another college. This girl said that she had been filled in and that they were going to refund £5 of the order. I obviously voiced that this was unacceptable as the whole order was inedible. She asked why I hadn’t sent it back to be replaced. I explained that we had already waited 2 hours for our cold order, it had already come back wrong and also that this wasn’t given to me as an option. We were simply asked, what do you want me to do about it? The girl said sorry but my manager has spoken to the chef and we can only give you £5 back. End of story basically, absolutely shocking!"

"ALLERGY WARNING, I ordered cashew nut chicken but they used PEANUTS instead without asking. I was a regular customer and for years I pushed aside negative experiences because the food is decent, but this was by far my worst experience. I ordered a take away and the food wasn't ready at the time stated. I had to wait over half an hour in the restaurant, might as well of dined in. They showed me my order in the restaurant which looked fine, but when I got home there were two portions of chicken and no mushroom in the bag so there must of been some kind of mix up. They can't refund online orders even though it was their mistake, and the driver was unavailable to deliver my correct order. They don't care about providing a good service. I tried to ring them and let them know about the peanuts, but the lady who answered was rather obnoxious and showed a lack of concern over a serious health and safety issue which is worrying. Not to mention a complete disregard that what I received was not what I paid for. She said the manager is too busy to answer the phone but didn't actually check. She did say they would call back, still waiting. Other reviews say they ignore the phone when they know they've messed up, I wish I would of trusted them before ordering. It seems like they don't care about customers experiences. I don't recommend this place simply because I believe actions reveal the character and if they are putting customers lives at risk then who knows what else they could do!"

"We had two dinners and breakfast from this restaurant because we stayed in the Home Farm Hotel. We wanted to have the dinner and breakfast during our stay, but had to cancel our plans due to VERY POOR customer service received from Richard and also...because of his wife's cooking due to overcooked and burned full cook breakfast we received from the restaurant. Day 1, Richard introduced his wife to us, but she totally ignored us and in addition, she did not even bother to acknowledged and smiled with us. She seems to be very upset or very distance from everything or stressed/fed up about something at the time. Not sure this was due to over working… Day 1, Richard requested us to come down stairs for the dinner at 18:00, but instead of taking us to the restaurant for dinner, he tried his best to hard sell the alcohols he had in the bar to us and also to all the other guests. This happened even after we told him several times that we only want the meal and no alcohol from his bar. After about two hours, I had to tell him that I’m a diabetic and heart patient therefore I do really want to eat the meal and have a rest. He gave us the menu and I asked for lamb which was on the menu and he went crazy and said to us that they do not provide English food in this restaurant. I showed him what was on the menu, but he did not even apologise to us. He said lamb run out and asked us to select something else from the menu, again we selected duck, but that was run out as well!!! By then, Richard was sarcastic and rude to us as well as to other guests… In the end, we asked what we can have for our dinner. He almost shouted at us saying he and his wife only there to run the hotel without any staff therefore, we have to eat whatever his wife can cook!!! Finally, at about 21:00, we managed to have our dinner and I asked Richard to cancel our breakfast and dinner booking for the rest of the days however, he said we have to take the breakfast for next day because it was too late to cancel it. Next morning (Day 2), we were near the restaurant since 08:00 as Richard requested but as usual, past 09:00 we received burnt and overcooked full breakfast for two of us. They had a very large menu but it seems like most of the food either his wife did not know how to cook or had run out. Richard charged full price for our meals, BUT he FORGOT to provide the good quality food and services to the customers…"
