OK, I'll admit, this isn't the best looking takeaway in Mablethorpe ...or the worst! It's tired, drab exterior isn't exactly enticing is it? However, what really matters are things like cleanliness, service & whether the food is any good, and fortunately, it 'mostly' is.
First off, it has a 5 rating from the FSA, so that's a good start. It's menu has plenty of choice, so as well as all the various pizza options, they sell kebabs, burgers, SFC & wraps, and they have a few meal deal options. Service so far has been fine, as there's always plenty of staff, and no problems with our orders. There's not a lot of space inside, and it does get busy, so you'll probably want to make use of the bench seats outside whilst waiting for your order.
So, what's the food like?
Well, over the years we've been coming here, whenever we stay at our caravan, we've probably tried a fair bit of the menu, so this isn't based on just a one off visit.
Good: Pizzas & Kebabs - these are our favourites, and they're always well cooked & tasty. Unlike some other takeaways around who only sell doner kebabs, worth pointing out, that this place also has shish & kofte. Only criticism, is they could do with adding more salad, bit stingy, and where's the red cabbage & chillies?
Not Bad: Burgers & Chips - they seem to be better when they're busy, and cooking a fresh batch. Sometimes, we've had them, and they've obviously been refried, so all greasy & horrible, and have ended up in the bin! Best advice, just take a peer over the counter to see what they look like. Burgers are usually OK, nothing special, but tastier than the standard £2 offerings from the little burger/hotdog outlets in town. Haven't tried anything other regular beef burger, so can't comment on the rest, like Veggie etc
Could be better: Southern Fried Chicken - in our experience, not much consistency with their SFC. It seems to vary from greasy, to really nice, but chicken quality isn't the best.
They offer local delivery, but since we always order from within and takeaway, can't comment on telephone ordering or deliveries.
Overall, one of our favourite places in town for the when we fancy a burger, pizza or kebab.
