"I convinced my partner, who is half Italian, to join me for a meal and drinks at this restaurant. He wasn't very hungry, so I decided to order the Nachos with melted cheese for £4.50, with additional toppings costing 75p each. I chose sour cream and jalapeños. My partner ordered an iced mint frappe for £4.50 from the menu, while I opted for a simple black tea and asked for lemon to put in it, but they didn't have any. I had to wait a long time because there was only one girl serving a large order of ice cream. Eventually, a young man came to take my order, though he seemed new and unsure about the prices and menu. He wrote down my order and an older man came out to help. The nachos were served unceremoniously, with no napkins, and the dish consisted of mostly broken nachos with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, not the gooey mozzarella I expected. The sour cream came from a squirt bottle and tasted bland, as did the cheese. Despite their poor quality, I ate them because I hate wasting food. My partner also thought there wasn't much in the bowl, but we enjoyed the few jalapeños that were there. My partner's frappe came in a plastic cup, and the server apologized for not knowing we were sitting down and offered a spoon for the whipped cream. The visit was redeemed by the pleasant young server. We asked the young man for napkins, and he pointed us to a table inside where we had to get them ourselves. The worst part was seeing the older man and the young man go out three times to throw shop waste into the public bin on the square, including coffee granules and kitchen waste that spilled all over the pavement. The young man said he didn't know why they didn't use their own bins and was just following instructions. We were shocked and upset by this behavior."

"This was our first visit to the Hong Kong Chinese restaurant, we were passing and stopped on the off chance they would have space, and they fitted us in no problem. It has the usual Chinese restaurant decor, pretty in a kitsch way. Unassuming and helpful staff, led to an unpretentious and relaxed atmosphere, some 90’s pop tunes playing unobtrusively in the background. We enjoyed this very much, starting with the special mixed hors d'oeuvres for two, the seaweed especially was chunkier than our usual takeaway back home, and we enjoyed it immensely. Presented nicely, no peanut sauce on the satay, but it had a good flavour and didn’t need it. For the mains we had sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style, mixed veg and crispy chilli beef with coconut egg fried rice. Well what an absolute pleasure. The sweet and sour had a vinegar undertone and the usual sweet flavour but not overly sweet and was cooked fresh and very delicious. The mixed veg had a slight crunch and the crispy chilly beef, had a different sauce again, but the batter was light crispy and melted in your mouth. Portion sizes were just right, maybe a touch smaller than some Chinese restaurants I’ve been to, but we’re were pleased with this, we didn’t feel too full afterwards and might have been able to comfortably fit in a dessert, and will do that next time we visit. The coconut egg friend rice was really good too, very aromatic. The only negative was the size of the drinks, my mineral water glass was half the size of my partners coke and it would have been nice to have had a proper glass full. Just a minor niggle. Reasonably priced nonetheless, £48 for the whole meal. I’d definitely recommend, and we will be going back. We really enjoyed the flavours, I haven’t had such a tasty and flavourful fresh Chinese like this for a long time. Again the crispy chilli beef was so light and crispy it will be hard to beat and highly recommended."

"Went to this pub as it’s within walking distance. Sat outside as a nice evening. Don’t go out much at all as always tired due to getting over bowel cancer. Had a few drinks plus food. The food is very good but very expensive. Prawn cocktail very small for £9.50 and pudding £8.50 but that’s why this place is a treat place not an every day place. We got there just after 6 and left at 8.45 and for a Friday night saw hardly anyone go in or out, think that says it all regards the pricing. Anyway we finished and we always play a game of guessing the price. When we got the bill was abit more than we guessed but thought never mind and my husband can’t see properly without glasses so he paid the bill without me checking. When we got home I re- checked it and we had been over charged for 2 drinks we didn’t have. I had 2 but was charged for 3 and he had 4 but charged for 5! We therefore paid £10.50 more than we should have. He phoned straight away to ask to speak to Miranda the manager but she was too busy apparently, when it was dead and I think that’s extremely unprofessional to not even take our number to get back to us. My husband went up the next day to explain and she acknowledged one drink , mine, was incorrect and said he could have a free drink instead , but alas wouldn’t admit the other drink was wrong, which it was! I was counting drinks for us both and they added £10.50 in for 2 drinks we didn’t have. I’m very angry and upset she wouldn’t admit their wrong doing and personally will never go there again, you spoilt my night out!"
