Friday night, played a gig in Portsmouth and tried this place. Again, you don't have a world of options at quarter to one in the morning, and this place was open and fairly nearby.

Here we have my usual, lamb doner wrap, chili sauce and no salad. Meat was served from the bain marie and it was a homemade chili sauce. Sauce was a bit sweet with a hint of lemon, alright overall. Bread was thicker and tastier than a standard tortilla that often gets used.

Yeah, as you can tell, it was pretty much just thrown together and bundled in paper. I got the meal so I weighed the chips too, so you can see how much you get for the extra money.

Tale of the tape... this weighed in at a reasonable 547g and for an under average £8, it's pretty good value overall, landing at 13/89 on the spreadsheet. I gave it a B grade overall. I'll be playing down that way again so will probably pop back in there next time.

Another one I'd forgotten to post...
Conveniently situated between the Wedgewood Rooms and the free parking on the seafront, I popped into here after a recent gig. Always like to try a new place and see how they stand up.

Here we have the usual, lamb doner wrap, no salad and chili sauce. Meat was served from the bain marie and the sauce was a sickly sweet bottled affair which wasn't great at all.

Weighing in at a disappointing 367g, and that's after Bossman put a bit extra meat in after I said "no salad" but a low price of £6.50, this hiya the spreadsheet at 48/88.

Gave this kebab a disappointing C grade overall. This just wasn't very good. I won't be back.

Forgot to upload this... I was recently in Addlestone and popped into Kebabland. Previously sitting 12th on the spreadsheet, it needed an update from 2024.

Here we have the usual lamb doner wrap, chili sauce and no salad. Meat was served from the Bain Marie and it's a homemade chili sauce, which is decent. This was... alright. Nothing particularly exciting, it did the job. However, it did have a lot of leakage. Don't know if this is all grease or sauce separation but it's annoyingly inconvenient.

Weighing in at 493g and costing £8.70, this has dropped to 47/88 on the spreadsheet. That's quite the drop from where they were before. Understand the price increase due to inflation but the size drop as well was disappointing. Unlikely that I'll return because they're always closed before venues close. I'll stick to other late night options.

Never tried this place before so thought I'd give it a whirl. It's walking distance from Kings Kebab which is always busy, so was curious to see how they measure up to the competition.

Here we have my usual; lamb doner wrap, chili sauce, no salad. Meat was served from the Bain Marie and it was a homemade chili sauce. Sauce was alright, nothing special. Wrap was laid out and sauce was spread over it, then meat was added and another ladle of sauce was poured over. That's some good sauce technique. Meat was decent, had been nicely browned before going in the Bain Marie.

But how does it compare? Well, weighing in at a very average 480g (0.8g above) but costing more at £8.95, this lands on the spreadsheet at 55/86 for value. They're well above Charcoal Grill, who are last, but well below the nearby Kings Kebab van who are currently second on the spreadsheet, giving 706g for just £8.

It was alright. I'd give it a B grade overall. Highly unlikely that I'll go back considering there's a brilliant option nearby.

Played a gig out in the sticks last night. Searched for kebab options nearby or on the way home, and this is what I got.
Here we have the usual, lamb doner wrap, chili sauce, no salad. Wrap was warmed on the hot plate, meat was served from the Bain Marie. The chili sauce was homemade and a bit more perky than usual. This had more of a kick to it, plus a hint of mint. Very tasty! Plus, Bossman did give me extra, like I asked for.
This was decent overall. I'd give the whole thing a grade B. Meat and bread was standard. However, this was WET! There was a lot of drippage from this. Thankfully the foil kept most of the leakage safe. Might have been grease or water from sauce separation, or both.
OK, down to business. This cost £8.70, and weighing in at 485g, this has landed at 48/85 on the spreadsheet. They lie third of the five I've had in Basingstoke. Smiley's are still the local leaders there.
Six more gigs this month; London, Surrey and the South coast, including a new venue. There will be babs. The spreadsheet will be getting some updates and new additions.
Happy babbing!

Popped into Fareham Kebab on my way back from a gig in Gosport last night. There are three Gosport shops on the main road out, and I'd revisited them in the last few weeks. I thought I'd update the sheet for Fareham Kebab at the train station.

Well, here is the usual, lamb doner wrap, chili sauce, no salad. The meat had been cut from the spit. Home made chili sauce which was poured on the wrap and spread all over before adding the meat. Not seen anywhere else use this method. Liked it but could have maybe done with a touch more sauce. The sauce itself was ok, but nothing exciting.

There's a hint of extra bbq flavour in the meat here. It's very decent overall. I'd give it a B grade. I'll go back as it's a decent option and tends to be open after local gigs.

Here's the mad bit... weighing in at 413g and costing £7, it's at 39/84 on the spreadsheet... exactly where it was before! Yup, the 2024 entry was the exact same price and weight. That's an impressive consistency.

Back in Fareham next month. Got a couple of new venues too. There'll be more updates and new reviews on the way.
