Just Eat and Deliveroo exposed, do you use them?

mjn

I’m very picky which fast food places i use. And would give most of them a wide birth. Their standards of food hygiene and mine, differ greatly.

I’ve had food poisoning before and I don’t wish to have it again. One of the worst illnesses i’ve ever experienced.

it's on youtube and that's where I saw it...the main issue from what I recall is that deliveroo have options for a specific type of restaurant (forget the term) - and it means that the food is cooked by them in some dingy little unit instead of the restaurant themselves..

If you ever got to see the kitchens of many restaurants & takeaways (and I have), you'd rarely eat from them anyway

yep, I worked in a kebab shop in the late 80s for a few weeks...

I normally use the food hygiene standards website before I try places..
Food Standards Agency - Search for food hygiene ratings

one or two of the restaurants I used to deliver to when I delivered linen to them many years ago, i wouldn't either. I used to get a note saying don't deliver there for a month, that was usually because environmental health had paid them a visit without warning & had shut them down or given a set time to improve for hygiene reasons.

Agreed, though I have bought takeaways from places with a 1 star rating & been luckily OK after eating.
