to be very pissed off with the local takeaway

Placed an order and was given an estimated time of 30-45 mins. I called back after an HOUR, and was told my order had just left ten minutes ago (I live a 5 min walk from the takeaway, probably less than 1 min by car) and would be with me asap. I called again after another 20 mins and asked where the hell our food is! They've said it was delayed because he forgot to put a pizza in - I said we haven't ordered pizza!! I asked him to confirm what my order is as I'm concerned there's a mix up somewhere, but he couldn't tell me my order because the slip is apparently out with the driver for delivery! That was 15 minutes ago.

I'm raging.

DD has already fallen asleep on the couch and woken up crying as she's hungry! I've offered to make her something to eat but she's adamant that she wants her food from the takeway.

1 hour and 45 mins and still not bloody here!!

Hahaha I love all you guys. I was a little worried I'd broken severe takeaway etiquette for a bit there, glad you managed to persuade me there were just a couple of mentalists out Grin

I have this problem EVERY time I order via Just-Eat. It happened 3 times in a row about a year back, so I stopped using them. I use HungryHouse now.

The other day, I was emailed an offer for Just-Eat. So I decided to try again, figuring it's been over a year and they'll no doubt have improved things now. Nope. Two hours after ordering, I cancelled. The driver turned up 5 minutes later.
I wouldn't bother with Just-Eat any more if I were you.

The takeaway we use doesn't have top ratings on just eat but we have always been happy. That sounds like poor service OP.
