A man from Blackpool was left "livid" last week (October 1) after he turned up at Chinese takeaway where he'd placed an order only to find it closed. Iain Lucas endured a four-hour wait hoping to spend his Saturday night tucking into a takeaway with his family.
The 35-year-old ordered from his local, May Wah, a takeaway he says he's been to many times before. He used the FoodHub app to order a Munchy Box sharing meal at 8:24pm and received a notification shortly after that his order had been accepted.
The order placed for himself, his wife and his younger brother consisted of salt and pepper chicken, chicken wings, chips, chicken balls, egg fired rice, noodles, vegetarian spring rolls and curry sauce. Some two hours after placing the order at 10.30pm, Iain says there was still no sign of the food or any indication it was arriving.
