It’s a burger place and it’s fine. The chicken strips were also fine. The cajun seasoning on the chips was pretty good. Just not better than the existing good burger joints.
Verdict: Ok

Hove Tandoori
Gave these guys a try as they popped a menu through our door. Bad idea. First issue, got pinged that order was on the way and it took ages – I can only assume they did several deliveries in one go, which meant the food was cold. Soggy bhaji which I might chalk up to that. But chicken passanda was gritty, chicken was dry and chewy. Won’t do these guys again.
Verdict: Don’t go

Bluegrass BBQ at New Unity
Had intended to go to the restaurant but babysitter cancelled so got Deliveroo. It’s a little spendy, but goodness me the meat is INCREDIBLE. I think the fries would be ok too but they’d clearly sat there before delivery. I want to go to the resto badly!
Edit: Have now been into the New Unity and had the food, and it was really great, and I think more affordable than over takeaway! Big benefit of eating in is you get a whole host of BBQ and hot sauces which makes a big difference too.
Verdict: Awesome (just don’t get fries delivered)
Location: 52-53 London Road
Perfect Pizza Company
Had a Just Eat but must remember to go direct next time for free delivery. Short story really, they do cheese and garlic pizzas, and they are awesome.

Chicken Dudes
Chicken takeaway, a tough one to decide actually – it was almost awesome. So chicken strips were amazing – crunchy, a bit of spice. Yum. Spicy chips were kind of good? A little soggy but nice to have something different. Then the cheesy garlic pizza bread was just ok. So ultimately I’m not desperate to have another, but I did enjoy it.
Verdict: Ok

Gars
I think I’d be keen to try their restaurant, but can’t recommend the takeaway. Had a half crispy duck which was really good, but also got a main course of spicy beef. It was ok, but it was £12 and a joke of a portion.
Verdict: Don’t go
Location: 19 Prince Albert Street
Red Snapper
We’d heard about this outfit for a long time, and ultimately a bit disappointing. Yes, good amount of protein in the curries for sure. But starters very weak, and mains – one pretty good, the other so-so. Better available.
Edit: This review was for a takeaway during lockdown. Have just been to dine in, and it was really good. Usual Thai options, but then the option of “crispy” chicken, prawns etc on your curry – floured and fried, and amazing. Starter type salad spicy and tasty too, so revising verdict up.
Verdict: Awesome

Absurd Bird
Beautiful chicken tenders, pretty ok fries for a delivery. But not good enough for almost £11 for 6 tenders!
