Chef on the Run - Sidney

The first thing you need to know is that this is not a restaurant per se. Chef on the run prepares ready to heat meals. We go by the shop. make selections form its weekly menus and take the meal home to heat later for dinner. Usually there is an offering of 5 or 6 main entrees and several vegetables from which to choose.Overt the years in our frequent visits to Sidney we have stayed with family and have had facilities for heating the meals.The food has always been very good and the service excellent.As I have a good appetite I have often opted for the "Hungry Man" portions.

This shop offers a variety of pre-cooked meals, and the menu changes every week. I placed orders for a housebound family member for a couple of months, and was always so impressed with the service. The women working there knew their customers and always chatted while filling orders. The menu items are varied, and fairly creative while remaining familiar. They are packed in freezable containers. The value here is incredible, and the staff is too.

Good meals are delivered - fresh or frozen. Soup, meals, cold cuts of meat, dessertas can be purchased in the store. Some seniors or others unable to cook for themselves have weekly meals delivered for free. I highly recommend.

A good alternative for home style takeout meals, with menus that vary by day and by week also featuring a variety of British packaged food items.

I have used this Sidney locaton many times in the past. On Wednesday May 4th, I went to get two eals.There was no one else in the location except three employees one of whom was making a sandwich which another customer came in and sat to eat. In the meantime I stood at the order counter while the two employees who were not doing anything except talking and laughing. I was about to leave because of lack of service, however, the employee who was working said she would be with me shortly at which point one of the do nothings decided to serve me..I asked for two cabbage roll dinners and told her I wanted all peas and mashed potatoes in one and all beets and mashed potatoes in the other. She placed the orders in a bag. When I got home, I noticed that the writing on the top was pork parmesan. Upon opening it, it was Cabbage rolls but with green string beans that were half cooked. I opened the second dinner and it contained cabbage rolls, masked potatoes and peas. Had the location been busy I would have understood completely the wait and mistakie in vegetable and the labelling. But there was no excuse for the delay on Wednesday. I feel important to advise you rather telling others how bad the service was...I appreciate you taking the time to read this message. Thank you.
