    This was our first visit the the restaurant. My first impression on going through the door was slight disappointment as I expected it to look very different from when it was previously the pub. However the food was amazing every single thing we ordered was gorgeous and my husband is very picky S not many decent Chinese restaurants/takeaways around. The service was excellent the two girls were attentive when needed and nothing too much trouble. Will definately be goi v again.

    When we arrived there was no one to greet us , we had to look for someone , we got seated and someone came to ask us for our order of drinks , 25 mins later I had to get up and ask if someone was going to take our food order the girl Apologised and then came over the food was fantastic and service after this picked up , you should always have a greeter no matter how busy you get and why wasn’t the staff allocated to a section . This could be a reason why we wouldn’t come back the food saved you .

    Service fairly poor, immediate attention when you first arrive, after that be prepared to go to the bar and get your own drinks. 3 starters ordered, one arrived and the other two 15 minutes later lukewarm. Main course dishes again delayed and too be honest, maybe not our taste, left 90% then walked to the bar and paid (seriously 30 minutes quicker!) Very unlikely to return as far better service and food at other establishments

    The food is simply exquisite, a 100%+ better than any Chinese takeaway you have ever had. Nicely presented & plenty of it.

    The food was delicious as always, and the staff were excellent. Unfortunately, there was a group of loud, sweary people, and they completely spoiled the ambience. The staff dealt with it really well, but it didn't make for a relaxing evening.
