Kebab!

Blaenau Take Away
5 Church Street, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd

Suggested order: Large Chicken Kebab with garlic sauce and a little chilli sauce, salad with lemon juice, Chips. The chicken is tender and tasty and char-grilled to perfection (for me that means a bit dry on the outside with the beginnings of a singe, whilst remaining succulent on the inside) and the meat content of their kebabs is generous. The chilli sauce is a well-balanced fiery potion with a tangy fresh chilli edge countered with just the right amount of sweet and sour, but certainly not for the feint hearted – unless you like it really hot, remember to specify, “just a little bit of chilli sauce”, and cool it down a bit with their mild, creamy and delicious garlic sauce. If you are one of those people who sometimes just get the kebab urge, then this will hit the spot! The best around! Order by phone (01766 832 445) and pick up about ten minutes later. They also serve the usual variety of kebabs, pizzas, chicken’n’chips, burgers, and a small selection of other sundries and specials. Hours of business are noon-till-midnight everyday!

(Footnote: The only kebabs I know to rival these could once be found on Acton High Street, West London, from a take away by the park that was open all hours and a firm favourite with cabbies – last I heard the German chef-proprietor was shutting up shop and moving to Australia where he planned to open a beach grill…)
