1 /5 Tetiana Smith: Disappointing Hygiene Standards
I have ordered grilled chicken from FireWay Seed Cup several times. The chicken itself is good, baked in the oven, and the seasoned potatoes are quite good. However, I do not recommend the salad—the quality is very poor and disappointing.
Initially, I was planning to give this place a 5-star rating, mainly because one of the staff members is incredibly friendly, fast, and always welcoming. However, today’s experience completely changed my perception of this place.
Serious Hygiene Issue
When I walked in to place an order, I noticed a Deliveroo driver in dirty clothing, walking around the kitchen area, touching everything with unclean hands—right where food is being prepared. It was absolutely disgusting.
I cannot understand why a delivery driver, in full outdoor gear, gloves, and a helmet, was inside the kitchen where hygiene should be a priority. Even after I pointed it out, he remained there, not even moving to the waiting area, which made me feel even more uncomfortable.
At that moment, I completely lost my appetite, turned around, and left. I find it absolutely unacceptable that someone in dirty outerwear is allowed to walk around a food preparation area. If hygiene is this neglected, I don’t feel comfortable eating here anymore.
While the chicken is good and the staff is friendly, the hygiene standards are extremely concerning. After witnessing this, I highly doubt I will return. I strongly urge management to take this issue seriously—customers expect a clean kitchen, not delivery drivers touching everything with dirty hands.
