This takeaway always serves excellent food. I've been there about half a dozen times now and it's consistently good. Highly recommended

I won't be going to this takeaway again. I ordered a Chicken Madras and it was almost inedible. The Chicken was that awful re-formed processed chicken with the taste and texture of plastic. I ate about half of it and had to throw the rest away.

I guess the standard of food they serve up is acceptable to the average drunk after closing time but I bet you wouldn't catch an Indian or Bangladeshi eating this sort of swill. To cap it all for the next 2 days I had the worst bout of diarrhoea I've ever had so it seems their standard of hygiene is not all that either.

I've had a meal here on a couple of occasions and found it to be quite good with good service and food.

My experience of breakfast on Sunday morning is somewhat different though. There seemed to be one waitress serving the whole place, the table was sticky, the plates in the self service area were dirty and the food, when it eventually came, was undercooked and greasy to the point that I couldn't eat it.

Never again

This isn't a review of the actual beach because we never saw it. We set out to go to West Wittering beach at about 10:00 on a Saturday morning. Travelling east from Portsmouth the A27 was fairly clear until we got to the first roundabout, then the traffic was gridlocked for the next 2 miles of dual carriageway.

We then turned off onto the A286 to WW and that too was solid nose to tail traffic the whole 7 miles down to WW.

When we actually arrived, this whole miserable 9 mile traffic jam was funnelled into a tiny village  and then into the biggest car park I've ever seen. It costs £7.50 just to get through the gate, and we drove from one end to the other trying to find a space, In the end I gave up and I turned the car round and left. 

There is one small retail building serving all these tens of thousands of people. When we passed it there was a queue of about 30 to 40 people standing at the serving hatch so I would recommend taking all your own food and drink.

All 7 miles back up to to A27 the other side of the road was still gridlocked with people trying to get into WW. Heaven knows where they would park when they got there.

I'm sure the beach is lovely but the stress off getting there is more than I would want to go through again. It's probably great out of season but on the few sunny weekends we get, the whole world heads for WW and the infrastructure can't cope.

If you want a nice relaxing day out, forget it. We went to Bognor instead and it was great 

I stopped using this shop a few years ago. I always try to support small independant shops rather than the big chains and that was the reason I went there in the first place. After a few visits I vowed never to set foot in the place again. I found the staff in general ok but the manager was probably the rudest, most offensive person I’ve ever encountered in a shop.

Anyway fast forward to the present. I needed a monitor so I thought I’d give them a second chance. I went down there on a Saturday at 10 O’clock which is their advertised opening time. Closed. I waited and waited and finally gave up waiting for them to open at 10.45 and went somewhere else.

Clearly they still fail to understand the meaning of customer service. I won’t go there again and I would advise anyone else not to.
