Char Grill

Char-Grill is a pizza and kebab takeaway further down Freeman Street, sitting on the long arterial through the East Marsh between the Top Town end and Hainton Avenue. The shop runs the catch-all independent fast-food format — build-your-own pizzas with a long topping list, house specials like Pepperoni Mania and Mighty Meat, a mixed-kebab section that includes an Any 3 Meats Mixed Kebab as a house signature, burgers, southern-fried chicken and the now-expected loaded fries and dips.

The shop has held an unusually high customer rating on Uber Eats at around 4.8 — the top end of the East Marsh independent takeaway market — and is open seven nights a week with delivery covering the central residential streets and the wider East Marsh. The customisation side of the menu is the thing reviews tend to pull out: the create-your-own pizza option with a free-form topping list rather than the held-pattern of speciality pizzas pushed by some of the area's competitors. Ordering runs through Uber Eats and the other major aggregator platforms alongside the in-person counter trade off the Freeman Street footfall. The shop's position keeps it useful for the inner-East Marsh delivery market as well as the post-pub local trade.
