One of those “pizza plus chicken and burgers etc” places but a very solid one; I enjoyed the garlic pizza bread, nice chicken and chips, plus you can choose your pizza sauce base – sweet chilli yum!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 80 Beaconsfield Road

Papaya Thai Cafe
Had delivery from here although it looks nice enough inside, if simple. The food was really, really good. Crispy spring rolls, a great curry and a great spicy pork belly thing. Yum, would Thai again.
Verdict: Awesome

Kogi Korean Cuisine
Had a Deliveroo of this and really struggled to give a verdict, so might get another go. Fried seaweed rolls really nice, spicy rice cakes nice but not what I expected, and soy sauce fried chicken sweet and delicious. But kimchi udon pretty bland. Edit 2025: Had another visit, enjoyed the fried chicken again but can’t make up my mind on the dumplings, so verdict stays the same.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 30 York Place
Carlito Burrito
Had a Deliveroo burrito, and it was incredible. Halloumi and chorizo with an amazing chipotle. Eat more.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 12 York Place
Out Fry by Taster
Korean fried chicken, one of the Deliveroo “Editions” outfits where they’re set up for Deliveroo only – seems they’re regularly in Paris and Madrid. Quality chicken for sure, but ultimately uninspiring – even the spicy version was just ok. Maybe better piping hot in the restaurant, as delivery, just ok.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 1 Saxon Works
Yefsis of Greece
Greek place (obviously) that we had lockdown delivery from. We really enjoyed it and the meals are substantial – it is though a cuisine that doesn’t survive delivery the best, so looking forward to dining in sometime.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 57 London Road
Uncle Sam’s Hamburger Express
Another perfectly serviceable coronavirus takeaway; more or less what you’d expect from a place called what it is. I enjoyed it, but wouldn’t have it ahead of other options, although the chicken bites were pretty ok!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 4a Montpelier Road
Istanbul Kebab
As the name implies, classic kebab takeaway that I had delivered. Some points off for lower quality chicken nuggets, but overall a winner as still hot when delivered plus had a cheese gozleme flatbread thing which was really great.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 4 Pool Valley
Can’t find a website
Yummie Grill
Perfectly serviceable burger/chicken takeaway outfit, but nothing more – average across the board, although it was hot!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 3 Islingword Road
Martin’s Burger House
Tried delivery from here during quarantine. They pitch their burgers as fancy and one day I’ll try one in the restaurant, but had takeaway chicken nuggets, chips and cheese bites and while the latter were great, the former were low quality product.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 8 East Street
