Thought we'd give this place a try for fish & chips. Very disappointed, staff indifferent to the point of rude, slow service & mediocre food. Avoid.

Nice takeaway, chips are good and fresh, cuisine is also good and fresh..

Lovely food , lovely service. I’ve been a regular here for a while now, and they’ve never slipped up. Highly recommended!

I hope the Chinese food is better than English menu. Decent chips portion but a bit wet. Fish small and wet for the money. Pie just contains mush with one identifiable bit of mushroom. No mushy peas.

It used to be good. I had some fish a week ago. The batter was soggy and greasy. I have now tried chicken chow mein with rice noodles. It used to be lovely. Today it was greasy, had a bitter taste. Previously it always had a generous amount of chicken. Today the chicken was almost non existent.

Didn’t enjoy my trip to lucky8 tonight. Got told we had to wait 10-15 which I don’t mind but having to wait longer. Ended up waiting 40 minutes. The young lad cooking needs to pull his finger out. Had to reminded by his colleague to cook our food and started to laugh cause he forgot. I watched him prepare different food and not wash his hands once. Just used blue roll to wipe his hands while he took orders on the phone. None of the front two serving got any customer service skills

This place is a complete joke. It took three hours and 4 incorrect orders to still not eat that night. The only good thing about this take away is the reusable bag.

I went to lucky8 many years ago and it was bad so we thought with the new management and reviews we would go again, we ordered a few bags of chips, and they were the worst hard stale chips, they looked like they were cooked a week ago and re-heated. it really was the worst chips we have ever had, they went straight into bin, waste of money tried calling them, but they told me the owner was busy and to try later!! I tried later and no one answered (8:50pm)I though maybe this was a one off, and I always give restaurants a second chance, so I went two weeks later and ordered chips again and even asked the lady serving "Are these fresh" and explained about my previous visit, to which she laughed and said yes they are, again the worst chips I have ever had. I wish I could give 0 stars, I read on other reviews that the owner mentioned to ring them before putting up review, I tried calling 6 times!!! over 5 days, either they never answered calls or told me the owner is busy and to call when they are quiet, which I did. I really had high hopes for Lucky 8 especially as we spend a fortune on Chinese food in a excellent restaurant much further away (which does great Chips), so Lucky 8 would have been very convenient for us, but sadly having had two bad experience with something basic as chips has put me off. in my experience this could likely mean they are cutting corners with other dishes.
Customer service shocking lost my order tried to get me to pay twice over an hour wait

1 star it to much but i couldn't go lower.Yet another missing item and when calling we were told it was are fault for not checking and do you want to speak to someone who speaks less English if you dont understand.On average we used to spend no less than £110 per month but will never spend another penny at unlucky 8.

Phoned through an order 7.30pm and told it would be 30 mins which was fine as I was 30 min drive away. Got to lucky 8 at 8pm introduced myself and waited. After an hour I questioned where my order was, and was told they hadn't started to cook it yet as I hadn't paid yet, and if I paid now they would start to cook it. I've eaten from here every week for 2 years or more and never experienced anything like it. Well done lucky 8 you've just lost 2 very good customers, and maybe more as we won t be recomming you to anyone.

Great food and well priced.Bit chaotic when collecting the last few months. It's lost the friendly atmosphere

They only except cash as payment for orders under £18.00, the cash machine nearby charges £2.50 to withdraw cash. Plenty other chinese takeaways in town.
