Fresh Bites

Contacted Campylobacter virus thanks to a doner kebab from Fresh Bites. Reported to Mcr city council.

Illest I have EVER been. 10 days of diarrheah, vomiting, fevers, and going from freezing to sweating within seconds. Horrible. Do yourself a favour and avoid. Make yourself something to eat when you go home.

Had to take a week of work which didnt go down well. Infact I only found out what it was 2 weeks after giving a stool sample, as the council wanted to know where I had eaten such was the seriousness. It could only have been from this place, as it was the only place i ate at different to my family.

I went to Fresh Bites last night with a friend after coming back from the M.E.N arena feeling a bit hungry. Not knowing Manchester very well, we asked a local cab driver to drop us off near the hotel we were staying at for the night. Fresh bites was the first takeaway place we came across so we decided to go in and grab a bite to eat.

We both ordered fried chicken & Chips & sat down to eat it. We tucked in & discovered, to our horror, that the chicken pieces were pink underneath the crispy coating. Also we found that the chicken looked a bit green round the edges and bits of the meat were also hard. Absolutely disgusting!. It looked as if it was really poor quality chicken to say the least, as well as being majory undercooked (potential salmonella poisioning risk). I understand that a lot of takeaway places use poor quality meats but this took the Mick!

We did let the chap at the counter know that the chicken was raw & even opened up the chicken pieces to show him how pink they were. He seemed to agree that they were raw but just laughed & did not even offer to refund us despite the fact that we had paid for food that we were unable to eat because of their carelessness, so still went hungry!

I don’t understand how this place is still open if they are serving undercooked & potentially very dangerous food, they need to be reported to food standards & closed down. I would advise who has never visited here before, if you go to Manchester & are looking for a takeaway, DO NOT GO TO FRESH BITES!!!

Fresh Bites is my favourite late night takeaway in Manchester. It also seems to open a lot later than many other places. Many a time my friend and I have made a late night dash to this Oldham Street eatery to satisfy our junk food cravings.

The kebabs are fresh and extremely tasty and the portions, while not the biggest, are fairly generous with a good amount of salad. They also offer a wide selection of pizzas, garlic bread, fried chicken and numerous other fried delights.
