They didnt have enough staff on which it such a shame, so we havent tasted the food yet as we wasnt going to wait over an hour for a take away!

Went back 2 weeks later.....sat in restaraunt for 20 minutes!!!, nobody took order so left.

3rd times a charm??....NO. Decided to order out because ordering in wasnt working, there is a new sign stating that you may have to wait 45-55 minutes to get your food. Soooo ordered and left. Returned an HOUR later...still NOT ready. Came back 20 minutes later...guess what?....NO PIES!!!. Finally got food 2hours later. Food was nothing better than Joeys only or SEA also in Calgary. Being a Brit as are these folks, Fish and chips is a quick easy meal, the excuse here seems to be "its cooked fresh"...well it was in the UK, it takes 14 mins too cook fish, and less time to cook chips. Not sure what the problem is there, could have had great potential, but will never go back

Oh, DONT order the Steak & Kidney pies. They tell you they have them, so you order one, but then mysteriously they sell out and you have to wait another hour while they cook you the fish. WTF???

Emailed the owners.......got no reply. Seems a shame. Oh well of to McKEnzie Towne for SEA.

70% of the tables had people sat at them, one family had their food and there was a fair number of people sat down by the counter. We were told that there was a 45 min wait for "take out". We left.

We saw some friends outside and chatted to them. There was a constant stream of people going in and coming out 45 seconds later.

Doesn't bode well

Anyone taking bets on whether they'll still be open at Christmas? I might be tempted to put $100 on that.

No different on last friday


Service is F@@king appalling


If anyone wants to take your bet I'll half please. The dick 'cooking' was eating more than he was selling when I went in


Thats exactly what happened to mine half an hour after I'd tried eating it.
I think the mush peas genuinely did contain pee



Are the owners paying you for that recommendation

Probably won't go there again due to price and authenticity.

My sympathies regarding the fact you ate from the aforementioned establishment.
