What Lynne Burns doesn't like about Cookson Spice:
Fantastic food but had to wait 40 minutes longer than the advised pick up time with no apology or explanation from staff! Clearly took too many orders than they were able to cope with! Happy to help out businesses like this during the pandemic but you can't treat customers like this! Really could not fault the food but will not be returning due to very poor service! Need to improve!! View all feedback. What vicki likes about Cookson Spice:
Absolutely love this place, you'll find meals that you don't see in a lot of other places, and they're beautiful. Full of flavour and the right spices. The service is second to none, especially from the owner who makes a point of going around to every table. They don't serve alcohol but you can take your own in, which I think is a plus, especially if you want to keep the cost of the meal down. Best curry I've had. View all feedback.
