Flames

Flames is a long-running pizza and kebab takeaway on Brighowgate, on the parade that runs out of the south side of central Grimsby towards the Welholme area. The shop trades from a small counter and has been in the same spot under the same name for many years, building up a steady base of regulars off the residential streets behind the parade. The format is the catch-all independent late-night takeaway — pizzas in multiple sizes (including a distinctive square-cut house style), kebabs with both doner and shish builds, southern-fried chicken, burgers and a sides list.

The kitchen is more identifiable than most of the area's pizza-and-kebab shops — repeat reviews on Restaurantji and TripAdvisor single out the doner-and-chips loaded with melted cheese as a house signature, and the square pizzas come out of the oven fresh and hot rather than the held-warm volume product that drags down the lower end of the Grimsby pizza market. The shop holds wheelchair access and a small dine-in option, with delivery running through Uber Eats and Just Eat alongside the in-person counter trade. The Brighowgate location sits a short walk from Pizza Planet next door and gives a useful delivery reach into the inner-south residential streets.
