The small pocket pitas are difficult to fill without breaking, but staff in kebab shops are experts and have no trouble. The dish is very occasionally served as a loose assortment in a polystyrene container with chips instead of pita, but this has to be asked for specifically. Many shops also offer the option of an Indian style nann, in which the meat and salad is wrapped, althoug it is a more expensive option. Kebabs are always served with full salad unless otherwise specified and a choice of garlic and/or chili sauce.
A small point of amusement - the proper contraction of kebab is 'bab.
This is also Northern for poo.
Therefore the sentence, "I was out on the lash last night and ended up having a great big bab" can be taken more than one way.

Kebabs are usually called donners though.
Damn. Just for the point of education, I might just have to have one over the weekend!
