What Ruth885 doesn't like about The Cottage:
We have been ordering from this takeout restaurant for years and it has always been consistently good. However, tonight's curry was completely different. The bhajis were dry, the curries were watery and lacked flavor. It seems like they have changed the chef because the food was entirely different than what we are used to. Overall, not a good experience. View all feedback. What User likes about The Cottage:

Fabulous food and great service , we went as a great group and everyone got their food fast and it was all hot and top quality, definatly recommend

Lovely little restaurant, friendly staff, good menu, food is delicious and good value.

Small, friendly place. Charming waiter, delicious food. Would've got five stars but the restaurant was slightly cold on the chilly November night I was there.

Great food Brilliant offer Sunday-Thursday £12 Great staff... see ya again some time

At this well-regarded takeout restaurant, consistency has been the hallmark until recently. Longtime patrons have noticed a dip in quality, with recent orders featuring watery curries and dry bhajis, hinting at possible kitchen changes. Customer service experiences also raised concerns over order mishandling and staff demeanor, leaving some diners feeling unwelcome despite the food’s quality. While many have enjoyed intimate meals characterized by friendly service and generous portions, others lament the lack of care in their recent experiences. With a mix of stellar offerings and service missteps, the restaurant's fortunes appear uncertain as it grapples with evolving expectations.
