    This was all the food I had to throw away because it was so cold and it was making my partner and I nauseous. Haven’t had such bad food in so long. I waited over an hour and half for the food and most of the time it was sitting at the restaurant. That’s why the chips were so congealed and soggy when it finally arrived. We had to have to have some of the food because we were so hungry, but it was was worst £46 I spent. I couldn’t even call the restaurant to cancel/ chase because they don’t have a telephone number. The whole experience was awful. It was the first (and last) I will be ordering from here, would recommend just going to Burger King - both cheaper and better quality.

    Poptata was just another fries shop I thought until today when I saw them freshly cut the fries from the potatoes with skin. I asked if they were made to order and the guy said yes but sadly they were not, I was served the fries which were left over from the previously order hence they were barely hot and not the freshly fried ones. I am so glad, I did not waste money on extras like cheese which would not have melted. The basic fries were not quite plain because they were tossed with Rosemary which was not something I was expecting and there was a fair bit of salt in it too. Overall, I felt that I did not experience their fries at their best which I believe would have been really nice.

    To spend close to £10 for an admittedly large but overwhelmingly salty pile of chips, mayo, cheese and pulled chicken, is not really the food experience I was looking for. Over a decade working in the food industry and I've never had such an inedible mess presented to me. Mountains of salt, and an unbelievable amount of sauce for what is essentially cheesy chips with a bit of chicken. Struggled to eat even a 1/3 of it and I'm looking at the remainder of it now to ensure that the image of it is so burned into my memory that I never return to purchase another one. To serve food with this little care for attention when charging these prices should be a crime

    Wow! So good and great to support the local restaurants in these challenging times. Let's help as much as we can, by doing our bit where we can :) We will be posting more, to help support restaurants and outlets like this. Highly recommend ordering the '3 Southern Fried Chicken Strips' and a choice of dips. Cowboy fries with BBQ sauce, literally say no more. Full of taste, fresh quick and make sure to check out the different delivery apps, as currently reasonable offers, value for money and service 100% An A ***** from us! LDT x

    Personally I think they need to ease up on the sauce. Too much of it literally overtaking & swamping the fries. I prefer Donna Carmen Mexican Fries, perfect balance of fries, sauce, cheese and beef topping.

    Nothing wrong or special about this cheesy chips. Can't complain. I'm disappointed as I'm charged £2 for a small container of sweet chilli sauce, which I thought, supposed to be free with the chips! Proper rip off!

    Poptata in Croydon is hands down the best chips shop in the area! The chips are always fresh and made to order, which is a real treat in the East Croydon area. The prices are very reasonable, and the variety of flavors available is great. They use high-quality ingredients and the potatoes are hand-cut, which is evident in the taste and texture of the chips. The shop itself is clean and the staff is friendly. I highly recommend Poptata for anyone looking for delicious chips at a great price! 5 stars!

    I feel like everyone needs to know that they changed their chicken strips. The chicken before banged. The new ones taste soggy and the batter is like the batter you get on breaded fish. Rank, soggy and disappointing. Also don’t get the miss chicken. ‘Spicy’….it’s bland and I’ve never had chicken so tasteless? . My partner is loving his tex pulled pork fries tho! I tried some of the pork and that’s the only reason I’ll give 2 stars. Let me down, I used to to love this place. BRING BACK THE OLD CHICKEN STRIPS PLEASE
