Wenzels West Drayton town

Wenzels West Drayton town.

Sausage rolls dry and burnt. Tasted so disgusting I through it away. The staff are so careless they dont even care about the state of the food they sell. Dry and hard to bite in to is perfectly fine to them. Poor standards I can only guess their negligence in regard to food effects the quality of their staff hygiene. I threw what i brought from wenzels away and ate lunch at Kays Kitchen in west drayton instead where they actually care about the food and would be embarressed to serve up what Wenzels do. Utterly disgusting

At wenzel’s archaway

At wenzel’s archaway, while I’m on the Que
A guy enter the shop grabs few sandwiches from the fridge and walk out.
The guy behind the counter didn’t do anything at all.
Next time I’ll get free sandwiches instead af paying for it.
Seems like you don’t care if you loose money

Disappointed

You guys need to visit Greg's and get an idea on how to run your business. How hard can a sausage bap be to make?!

Just butter your shoe.

They used to be good many years ago but now charge too much for stale buns or greasy foul tasting sausage rolls and pies.
I have also spoken to head office who are rude and take customers concerns as a personal attack to what they consider to be an excellent product. “ Make them eat cake “!

Bacon not cooked properly. Forgotten items

Ordered from Uber Eats from the Southampton branch. Been wanting to try for a while. Well tried once and won't use again. Ordered 2 breakfast wraps and the wraps looked like they had been folded by children. Bacon wasn't cooked properly. Also forgot to put the hot drink in even though the receipt that was stapled to the bag and in capital letters says 'HOT DRINK'. Do the staff not tick off what's going in the bag? Anyway tried and won't be using again. Stick to Greggs, people.

Stale cakes

First ever visit and cakes were very dry, probably the previous days. Expensive as well so won’t go there again. Interesting that company do not respond to negative reviews here so you can only think that they do not care.

The manager of Portsmouth store Alex is…

The manager of Portsmouth store Alex is homophobic, transphobic and a racist . All of this has been reported to upper management by all staff members and evidence was provided with cctv footage and audio . But then upper management do nothing , it is the worst company to work for DO NOT SUPPORT THEM . Do not buy the fairy cakes cos they have probably been there for months , not much is fresh apart from the bread. Also there bakes aren’t even their own .

Sweet pastries inedible

Sandwiches are good but the sweet stuff, pastries and cakes are just inedible, went straight into rubbish bin! What a waste…bread is also very mediocre for a bakery

Wish I had looked on here before ordering

Wish I had looked on here before I ordered on Deliveroo from Wenzels Harpenden. Can’t fault Deliveroo - their driver waited there for 30 minutes. I cannot understand how it took them 40 minutes to put 3 pies and some doughnuts in a bag. When it arrived, there was only one pie. Not impressed. AVOID
