Variety Island

Variety Island runs the Turkish takeaway slot on Scrooby Road in Harworth, working the village kebab-and-pizza market that anchors so much of the Bircotes/Harworth evening trade. The kitchen leans Turkish — chicken and lamb shish, donner in pittas and trays, kofte and the standard mezze sides — and pairs that with the broader village-takeaway pages of pizzas in the usual takeaway sizes, beef and chicken burgers, garlic breads and salads. Free local delivery to the Harworth and Bircotes catchment runs from a modest minimum order, with the shop operating its own ordering site (varietyislandonline.co.uk) alongside the aggregator listings. The Food Standards Agency inspected the operation in June 2024 and the shop holds a current pass-level rating. Variety Island shares the Scrooby Road parade with several Chinese, Indian and chicken shops, which makes the Harworth/Bircotes takeaway market unusually deep for a village its size — and Variety is the Turkish-leaning option within that cluster, distinguishable from the half-dozen pizza-kebab shops by the charcoal-grill side of the menu.
