"I should start by saying that I have been a regular Kwong Tung for at least 20+ years and until today I have never had any cause for complaint. Normally I collect my order, but today (for once) thought I would try delivery. The lady who answered the phone had a great deal of difficulty locating my address despite the fact that it is a local village and I had given her the postcode. She Kept breaking off my order to talk to other customers in the shop. When she finally came back to me, the bill was significantly more than I expected. I suspect that an extra delivery charge beyond the stated £1.50 had been added because she was unsure sure of my location. Despite this I decided to proceed. I was then told that she could give me no idea of when I could expect delivery. When I suggested 1 hour or 2? I was told no idea. At this point exasperation and irritation was beginning to set in, so I said would it be easier if I collected this? Her reply was “You could have told me that in the first place” She then disappeared again, at which point I had had enough and hung up. I can appreciate that Friday nights are busy, but this was not at all customer friendly, not to say **** rude. I can put up with a lot, but not a bad attitude and manners. Given that there are 2 other excellent Chinese Takeaways in town I would suggest that they remember that they are dealing with (and trying to keep) their customers If they find delivery so difficult and a hassle, then don’t do it. Sorry to say that it will be a long time before I go back to Kwong Tung."

"We recently celebrated our wedding at the Ashbrook arms in October 2020. Sean and Roszita were very welcoming accommodating, particularly as we were scheduling the wedding less than 10 days before the date (Due to Covid levels changing! Our guests (21 adults 2 children enjoyed a drinks canape reception, while we took several photographs on the grounds of the hotel. Our photographer was delighted with the ample locations for shots including the courtyard, walled passage, Green house, river, resulting in many fabulous shots! Our speeches were held before the meal in the initial dining area before proceeding to the conservatory for our 5 course reception. We were blown away with the standard of food, and choice on the menu. We hadn’t had time to schedule in a meal or tasting in advance, but we were assured by friends and family that the food was good! In addition Sean catered for food intolerances with ease as the Bride had some dietary requirements. The conservatory was the perfect room for an intimate group, and made for a very elegant dining space with the assistance of a local florist . On the night there was only our wedding party staying and we enjoyed the run of the hotel with a leisurely breakfast the following day. Everything about the day was relaxed and comfortable. We would highly recommend the Ashbrook Arms as a wedding venue for any couple planning a small wedding."
