Flames

Flames is the current operator of the takeaway unit at the corner of Derby Street, on the south-Burton side of the town centre near the Cooper's Square ring. The shop runs deep into the early hours at weekends, which makes it one of the genuine late-night kitchens in central Burton-upon-Trent rather than the more usual midnight-shutter independent.

The menu is the broad pizza-kebab-burger build that suits late trade. Pizzas range from the standard meat-feast and Hawaiian to chicken tikka and doner-meat versions; kebabs come as doner and chicken on the spit, in pitta or wrap, with a sturdy chips-and-salad portion alongside. The Flames Special pizza and the Doner-and-Chicken-Tikka wrap are the regular reviewer call-outs, with peri-style chicken and southern-fried wings filling out the chicken side of the menu.

It's a collection-and-delivery operation listed on Uber Eats and the major aggregators across central Burton. Useful for households around Derby Street and the Anglesey Street area who want food well past the time most independent kitchens have closed, without driving out to the late-trade chains on Middleway Retail Park.
