The Fish 10857 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 So, Deliveroo is a middle-class Just Eat? Â Kind of, yeah. But mainly for places who don't normally deliver, rather than just aggregating loads of delivery places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, I'm sure it was called Butterfly. A quick google says it's not open under that name anymore. Â So, the lesson is obviously, you don't mess with The Fish...

Howmanheyman 33221 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 So, takeaways that aren't from deliveroo are 'cat vomit'? Â How my heart goes out to all you poor souls, suffering for all these years getting 'normal' takeaways little knowing that there was a mobile restaurant solution just round the corner in the near future. Maybe the days of the London gang coming on here moaning about not having a decent chippy to go to are now a thing of the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Howay man, you've got to admit the vast majority of delivered takeaway is fucking rank. Pizza that's lukewarm and greasier than a 50s Spaniard, curry that's just watery catsick, or a chinese that's basically MSG with a bit of sweet and sour hoyed over it. Â All this is is a way to get better food delivered from places that normally don't deliver. Not sure why you seem to think it's some kind of bourgeois largesse? unless you're one of the Four Yorkshiremen?

Gemmill 44882 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Â It's a genuine source of concern for me, when I move back up North where will I find a pop-up Eritrean place?! Â Carveries are fucking awful mind and if you eat there you should hand your tastebuds back. Â I've said it on here before but a couple of years ago my team at work actually voted to go to the Toby Carvery in Kingston Park for our team Christmas dinner. It was honestly fucking disgusting. The blokes serving behind the foot were dripping sweat into the meat and all the veg was just mush. But this lot like it because they can pile their plates to impossible heights and then pile it into their face. Every time team Christmas shit gets mentioned I tell them that if they're going to the Toby Carvery again they can fucking count me out, and I get the sort of "ohhhh he thinks he's better than us" looks that you have rightly been treated to in this thread. Â I posted this last time, but it's worth a re-post. Here's a review of the self-same Toby Carvery from the viewnewcastle website: Â This restaurant itself was nice. We visited one Saturday lunchtime in early July. The food was good and the atmosphere inside was busy but not too busy that we had to wait too long in the queue for food. It was good value for money and I would certainly visit a Toby Carvery again but unfortunately due to the behaviour of other "customers" I would not go back to the Bank Top Toby Carvery in Kenton ever again and sadly I could not recommend it to anyone else. Â When we visited it was a Saturday lunchtime at around 12 noon. When we went in there was a large STAG PARTY of men outside. They were being really loud, shouting, laughing and swearing etc in the beer garden beside the front door. We had our two year old child with us and I felt a bit intimidated as we had to walk through them to get to the front door. They were VERY drunk and it wasn't just the odd mild swear word it was really bad swearing with loads of sexual references etc. Â When we left after our meal I could not believe my eyes. It was around 1pm on a bright sunny day. The Stag party were still there and their behaviour had got even worse. One of the stag party was sitting on the ground outside putting his fingers down his throat and vomiting everywhere just outside the front door of the restuarant. Another member of the group was being sick in one of the floral displays at the front door and the rest were even more drunk and loud than when we went in. Â This kind of behaviour is when you might expect to see in a busy city centre at 2am in the morning outside pubs and clubs but not outside a family restaurant in broad daylight. Worse still as we were leaving we noticed two other members of the STAG party urinating on people's cars in the carpark. It was a real disgrace. I am not against people enjoying themselves but the behaviour of these louts was just too much. The Toby carvery should ban Stag parties if they appear drunk so that everyone else can what the restaurant has to offer in peace. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
