Looked online at menu official nicos website , rang for collection ordered two margaritas as advertised for €10 each . Person on phone took order didn’t mention any price increase, gave my wife l €20 cash as had that in cash , if said be careful issues with website would have just giving card ,got there and was told it’s not €10 each it’s €12! Send wife of with one pizza, didn’t offer any apologies or give two small instead , I called back and was speaking to one very aggressive / rude member of staff ! Took zero accountability it’s our fault for looking at menu on your official website ! Not never again what an absolute embarrassment of an establishment!

Reviews
Used to be the best chipper in town. However, recent orders have been a huge let down. The ¼ pounders were dry and the edges of the burgers were burnt black. This was hugely disappointing because they used to be the best burgers around back in the day. Pizza was ok but lacked toppings. The kebabs weren't great, but that's to be expected from a place that doesn't have a kebab spit.
Orded a Pizza, Hamburger and Kebab Tray, it was the worst kebab ever, kebab meat was burned. The hamburger was burned, chips tasted of oil. The Pizza was the only thing that was edible.
Great place back in the day.
