River Queen - Halton

After seeing the greasy bucket of chips through the window, we decided not to order from this restaurant again. The chips were green and we even spotted a bucket of what appeared to be poo inside. The experience was horrible and we had to cancel our order. On top of that, the prices were extremely high for just a regular order of chips. This was by far the worst dining experience we've ever had.

Visited this takeaway earlier in the month on a weeknight on the recommendation of a friend and can honestly say we enjoyed the meal, hot and Sour soup, Singapore chowmein, chips and chicken with spring onion and ginger, so much we ordered again tonight. Ordered...online at about for delivery at At the order came, we ordered the hot sour soup again which once again it was gorgeous, we then had a combination for which apart from the seaweed which was lovely, the rest was average' The main meals were chicken curry, fried rice, chips and Special Fried noodles, all of which again were average'. Last week I thought we'd found our new chinese but after tonight, I don't think so. Why the difference?? The only thing I could think it may be is they can't cope with the weekend pressure.

Ordered starters of soup chicken sweetcorn and wonton noodle, it was really nice and came with prawn crackers which was a nice surprise as normally these come at extra cost. We also ordered special chilli in garlic sauce and deep fried crispy beef...in ok sauce, both meals where nice but don't come with chips so the price is quite expensive for the size of them. We did order a large portion of chips however these never came and from past history we never rang them as there's no point in someone bringing a portion of chips out after the original food was delivered. The only other issue I'd say is the food was not really hot apart from the soup. I would order again but I'd certainly put a message in the notes about remembering the chips.

Ordered about weeks ago salt and pepper chicken gotnit home and it was sweet and sour chicken. When i called up I was told that “that was what I ordered”. Gave it another chance today and ordered he same. THis time it was correct....But he chicken was no where near fresh. It was only open for minutes when I picked it up. And the chicken was well older that minutes.

Ordered a meal to be delivered at was told it would be within the hour! we were still waiting! Just about to ring up and cancel at when the meal finally arrived, dished out it was like warm and bland! Understand they...are busy on a Saturday night but why say within the hour? Won't bother in future.
