I ordered an Indian takeaway – it didn’t arrive until 20 HOURS later after I phoned them for hours to find my food
A CURRY lover was left fuming after the takeaway she ordered arrived at her house nearly 20 HOURS late.
Ruth Anderton from Preston claims she ordered three items from the menu of the Sagnam Balti House in Lostock Hall on February 20.
The order totalled £23.50, with the mum keen to chow down on the takeaway meal as she ordered it at 10.06pm.
Ordering a sharing meal for three and a bottle of Coke, she said she eagerly awaited the order - but it never arrived despite only being three miles out of Preston's centre.
And she was left fuming as the order took longer and longer to arrive - while the restaurant already took payment for the meal.

Ruth added: “I said how unimpressed I was and he said he'd refund me by sending a driver the day after with my money."
Despite the offer a refund, Ruth claimed the driver "never showed" and she is still yet to get her money back.
She wrote: "Must have clocked my number and ignoring me.
"Might pay them a visit when I'm next in Lostock Hall.”
The Sun Online have made repeated attempts to contact Sangam Balti House about the matter, but they have not responded for comment.
