A COUPLE were left horrified when a quiet night in with a takeaway descended into disaster after they were told to eat 'some Asian sh*t'.

Donna Slade, 27, and her husband Matthew ordered a meal from Paya in London Street, Reading on Tuesday evening.

The couple say a restaurant worker hurled abuse at them over a series of outrageous text messages after they were accused of not paying enough money for their meal.

But Mrs Slade is defiant she paid what was asked of her when the delivery driver came to her front door and said she paid by card.

She told the Chronicle: "The delivery arrived and my husband paid for the take away via a card machine they brought with them.

"My husband then goes to get his phone from the bedroom to find messages about calling the police as they had done the wrong payment by a few pounds.

"Then we start getting abuse saying to eat Asian poo etc etc."

Another message sent to Mr Slade's phone told him to eat faeces out of a toilet if he could not afford to pay the full amount.

Mrs Slade said she immediately phoned the restaurant to make a complaint, but the employee she spoke to insisted it was nothing to do with them.

She then received another call with an apology and was told her complaint would be dealt with.

Later on Tuesday evening, the couple received a message from a woman claiming to know the owner of the Chinese food chain.

The woman said the complaint was being dealt with.

Mrs Slade added: "I made them aware that i was posting the messages on Facebook as it's disgusting and uncalled for.

"When we saw the messages we were in shock and very angry."

Paya was approached for a comment.
