We’d brought along 2 lunch tubs but ordered 3 dishes. Staff charged an extra 90 cents into total bill before they were informed we had 2 lunch tubs. Staff subsequently charged 60 cents for takeaway paper boxes — yep, 2 takeaway paper boxes for one main dish.

This defeats the original environmentally friendly purpose of charging to deter ppl from using plastic. We don’t mind paying for takeaway tubs if necessary, but this cafe’s practice is out of the norm.

In addition, the staff set the boxes down, turned and went back to the kitchen without a word, even after we said thank you.

This is our first review on Burpple after using it for more than a year, simply because we felt compelled to share this experience. Needless to say, we will not be going back.

TLDR: bring a few tubs for takeaway or expect to be charged an extra outrageous sum for paper boxes.
