Leftover Regrets: The Horror of a Bad Takeout Order. Even our dog refused it... Go to Unique around…read morethe corner instead! I recently ordered from the Mersea Island Fish Bar and was left thoroughly disappointed by the wait time. What was promised as an hour delivery turned into a grueling 1-hour and 50-minute ordeal. I could have prepared a gourmet meal in that time! Not to mention but when we called multiple times and the phone had no answer and we were left waiting. When my food finally arrived, the delivery driver saw we were upset and asked how long we were waiting. We proceeded to tell him and he didn't look surprised at all. In fact he was trying to apologise for their mistakes which was upsetting as it's not his fault. When we opened the bag of food it was extremely unappetising and there was something wrong with every meal. The plain burger was completely burnt! The other burger was dry and missing the condiments we asked for and the onions, were raw. The chicken burger was missing the lettuce. The cod looked completely limp, it was oily and tasteless. Finally the chips, well, they don't take a genius to cook. Not only that but they were slightly burnt and clear left on the hot plate for too long! They should have been thrown out after that long... if it wasn't on the hot plate the oil would have been old due to the colouration of the chips! Everything was so oily and greasy... even our dog refused to eat any of the food. I understand that things can get busy from working in the industry myself, but poor communication and excessive delays really ruin the experience for customers and other staff members... it's completely the owners fault and responsibility as he's on the line too. Such a disappointment to the old owners who used to own the fish bar as now it's taking a nosedive under this new management. I won't be returning ever again! Go to Unique around the corner instead!
