Driver Issues
It appears that there have been several issues with the driving staff. One reviewer had a negative experience with a driver who was unhelpful and hadn't secured their load properly, resulting in the product being scattered all over the lorry. Another reviewer had a frightening experience where a driver tried to run them off the road. Additionally, another reviewer had a close call with a driver who was tailgating them and had to swerve out of the way to avoid a collision.
Positive Dining Experience
On a more positive note, one reviewer had a great experience with the food, describing their chip supper as excellent and the staff as friendly.
