Around 90 mins.

Inevitably it did not taste good. The rule is - the longer you have to wait, the worse it will taste.

True story:

I once ordered a Chinese from a place in Skerries and it never came.

Around two years later myself and my cousin went back to this other guy's house (in Skerries) after a night in the pub. We were supposed to be drinking cans and watching a video but he decided to crash out and go to bed. As he was going we asked him could we order a Chinese as we were hungry and if we waited until we got back to our respective houses the takeaway would be closed. He said 'no problem'.

So we rang the Chinese (the one referred to above) and around 20 mins later the delivery guy turned up. My cousin took the food off him and said 'Hold on a minute my wallet is in the kitchen'. He gently closed the door and said 'won't be a second'. The delivery guy nodded at him.

The two of us then opened the back door and legged it with the food. We made our way out over gardens and through the back of the estate.

We found out the following day that the delivery guy waited patiently before ringing the doorbell repeatedly. Our mate's father came thundering down the stairs and demanded
'What the f*ck do you want. I have to be up early in the morning'.
Presumably the Chinese guy tried to explain that two guys had ordered food but the dad slammed the door in his face and went back to bed.

Sweet revenge.

Wow a take-away busy on a Friday night. Shocker!

But if it was hot on delivery I don't really see a problem, and also if the person on the phone didn't mention a delivery time then you have nothing really to complain about either.

It was his employer - his takeaway - that let us down with a non-appearing delivery two years prior to that.

Most places don't specify a delivery time, because it's reasonable to assume that it'll be there in 30-40 minutes. Waiting well over an hour is just a joke, particuarly if they didn't ring the OP and inform him.

A few years back my youger brother had friends over for a party. They pooled all their money together and ordered about 50 worth of pizzas from 4- star

An hour later no sign of the pizzas arriving so I rang up 4 star to find out what the hold up was. The thought it was a load of kids playing pranks so didnt take it seriously. I said its a genuine order and there is a ton of money waiting for them. Que extreme grovelling from 4 star pizza and them sayig that they would give me one of the pizzas for free because of the mix up.

I told them I wanted the pizza my brother had ordered free (a 16' super deluxe or something like that which in itself probably cost 15 euro)

food arrived twenty minutes later and I even got loads of free pizza off everyone for sorting it out.

Lets just say 4 star have never not delivered to me since:D
