The Hot Rooster in Bishop Auckland

"Best takeaway I have had for a long time. Food was delicious and hot 5*"

"I'm reviewing the food from delivery order. It was an amazing surprise. I ate the burger, my wife the pork on a roll and they were super delicious. Obviously gonna repeat soon but next wanna try dine in."

"Update: I recently ordered food for delivery and it was absolutely delicious, the food was delivered quickly despite nearby roadworks. I recently dined in the restaurant with friends. The staff were lovely, allowing us to stay past closing as we’d arrived quite late. The food was absolutely delicious, I’d recommend it to everyone. Reasonably priced, and decent portions. The restaurant offers eat in and takeaway options. When selecting your dish you can choose the spice level for the marinade, with the option of plain, lemon and herb, peri-peri and hot peri-peri. At the time of visiting they did not yet have their card payment system up and running, as the restaurant is quite new. The only thing I could suggest to improve the experience is to improve the overall feel/appearance of the inside of the restaurant, as it is very modern, has harsh lighting and lacks character."

"Everything was absolutely fantastic and arrived 15 minutes early ,,if you want a fabulous tasting meal probably the best in Bishop ,with a coleslaw to die for it really is beautiful. Everything was lovely and hot. Perfect. Keep up the good work. This is from ,Reverend Hudson. Update now that you have stopped selling the Mac n cheese I won’t be buying anything anymore which is a real shame When it’s back we will return Update And the Mac n cheese is back ! Sadly the day I ordered this she had to have urgent surgery at Darlington Hospital ( life and death ) Thankfully she pulled through and is looking forward to actually trying the updated one when she gets home after a few weeks of respite"

"This place is amazing!! I rarely try this sort of takeaway but wow. Best takeaway I've been to. Have tried lots of different things on the menu and enjoyed them all but...... I'm sorry nandos I won't be visiting you anytime soon I can't get over just how good the chicken is. The chips are fresh and seasoned. No freezer food here. If you can fit in a dessert the cheesecakes and Brownies top it all off. Absolutely delicious."

"Ordered again tonight for the second time this week! Food is unreal. Best takeaway we have had in a LONG time will be back again soon :-)"

"Absolutely unreal! We only got food from here for the first time recently, but we've ordered twice since, it was that good. The food is lush, and has the same comforting feeling of good homemade food, which is rare for a takeaway. All of our orders have been delivered in really good time, and with no issues. Our favourites have been the burritos, the chicken burger, and now the loaded fried which we've had tonight and were unreal! Defo one of our new fav takeaways. Thanks!"

"Five stars first to this restaurant being one of the rare ones opening on a Sunday (yes Bishop Auckland is so dead on a Sunday!!!). The front of the shop may not look appealing but the food is not your ordinary kebab shop. It's more Nandos style chicken. So yes I think eating in is better than takeaway which can make the food a lot worse than dining in fresh out the grill. The sauce, presentation and quality of chicken are all very satisfactory! Just under a tenner for what I had."
