Inside it has Bollywood Pop Art paintings commissioned by the owner and the whole set-up is quite opulent for a takeaway. Staff were very friendly and helped us select a few dishes which were all cooked in a very reasonable amount of time. I have to say the presentation of the food was impressive - not just the usual sprinkling of coriander (which I like anyway). The FOOD was fantastic, delicious flavours and the meat cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is anywhere near the vicinity. Just try it!

While being weaker on the fish and/or chip front (the chips are often a little crispy and lack a proper fluffy middle) this place is far better than most on the Chinese takeaway front (the dragon beneath the sign should probably have given this away). It's not haute but if you like sticky and aromatic dishes with chicken that slides apart or beef with a little chew to it then there's definitely nowhere better in Formby.

This is probably the worst place to get fish 'n' chips 'n' Chinese in the whole of Formby, it's not terrible especially - there are just far better places out there (see how I refrained manfully from using 'plaices'). What Crispy Cod Formby does very, very well is kebabs and burgers - this might seem odd for somewhere that so prides itself on fish that it puts the name of a fish that it doesn't in fact serve up in backlit plastic, but there it is. Donner or chicken, 'Hawaiian' (served with pineapple ring - exotic) or 'king' (served with an egg - regal) the kebabs and burgers are the reason to get takeaway from here. Just avoid the pizzas, fish and chip shop selling pizzas; it's just a step too far. It's just wrong man. Just wrong.

I used to love this place when it was Pitarras, I fondly remember visiting here on our last day of…read morehigh school at 11am and waiting for it to open so we could shovel handfuls of steaming chips into our mouths to aid our lingering hangovers. I also distinctly remember the owner, who always sported a cap and an absolutely excellent moustache (the skill of moustache grooming is a fine art). This establishment has since changed hands however and the change was not a particularly positive one in my opinion. The chips they do are average and the portions compared to their rivals are pretty small, plus they serve you chips in a little tray which kind of spoils the whole chips-wrapped-up-in-paper thing (it's just not the same when you have a tray supporting them, they should just slip everywhere as you struggle to eat them). They also do the usual Chinese dishes, burgers (which are pretty good, actually), kebabs and pizzas. I generally avoid getting things like kebabs and pizzas in chippies though, I feel that they are best left to proper kebab and pizza shops because when chippies have their fingers in too many pies, they usually end up doing everything a bit crap rather than excelling at a few things. I'm quite a fan of the fish tank in there though; thankfully, they don't put its contents in the deep fat fryer (far too small).

Situated in the heart of Formby village, Flames is probably the takeaway in Formby with the best…read moreturf in the ongoing war of the takeaways. Despite this though, I only ever go there when Amigos is closed and when we can't be arsed walking to Panchos (it is quite the trek). It's not that Flames is particularly bad, it's just not really that good either. As with Panchos, the pizzas are expensive for what you're getting but Flames doesn't have the same quality of pizza to fall back on like Panchos. The kebabs are pretty standard - thin, cardboard-like in texture - but still no better than their rivals. Their burgers are definitely the best of the bunch as they offer thick, meaty slabs with generous helpings of salad. Despite its bad points, Flames does earn extra points however for regularly being the only place with the balls to be open at two in the morning on New Year's Day when every other person with an ounce of common sense doesn't let us inebriated idiots anywhere near their shop. It's not bad, but I'd recommend Amigos or Panchos if you have the luxury of choosing between all three.

The rumour is that the good people of Formby would not allow a branch of McDonalds, or Burger King…read moreor any other red plastic clad fast food eatery within the village limits. Whether this was for fear of attracting the wrong sort of person (a serious issue for a town with two golf clubs and branch of Waitrose) or of the greasy hamburger wrappers that would blow through the streets and find their way into manicured hedgerows or cleanly swept driveways. Whatever the reason for not allowing the big boys in, this little kebab shop on the prairie was the alleged compromise. Honestly it's not bad; the pizzas are deep pan and generously topped and the kebabs are freshly prepared and flavourfully spiced. The prices are a little high - expect to pay £5 for most nine inch pizzas - but this is to be expected from frontier fast food in a town where local footballers set down sticks. They used to even throw in a bottle of wine with your order (or would be willing to sell you one long after closing time at the bars and off licenses around the village) Delivery can be a little erratic - we once waited an hour for two pizzas, so consider yourself forewarned.
