Bel and The Dragon - Godalming in Waverley

Ibs makes incredible food and creates a great atmosphere

Unreal kebab ibs gives top service !!

This lovely man ibs served me so well

Food cancelled after 2 hour because they don’t deliver to us despite website saying they do and accepting order.

The fries are to die for and the wraps are so good overall 10/10 would definitely go back.

Very good food at low prices, very friendly owner, still dont know his name

I placed an order 25 minutes before close they then call 10 minutes later to inform me that the driver doesn’t want to do the delivery and he wants to go home. Therefore I am no longer getting the food I placed an order for over the phone.

DO NOT ORDER SHOP IS CLOSED JUST SPOOE WITH OWNER AFTER TRYING TI CALL 16 TIMES CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED

Fantastic food and service. Great prices for supreme quality! Highly recommend.

Sadly made us stand there waiting whilst he served a big order then took another order before serving our food up. The offer of free drinks was a gesture but we just wanted our food. Won't be going back for a while.

This is literally the best kebab! Doesn't matter what you order its delicious. Sizes and price are spot on and the owner is such a great guy. Friendly, polite and humble. This is the only place you should ever want to get a kebab. Thank you for all the tasty food, I shall always return, even though I now live a 10 mile round trip away, I still make the effort because it's that great

Lovely owner. Nice food. Good service.

Yery good, cheaper and better than McD's

Good selection of food,, fast service friendly staff, use this kebab van regularly and haven't been let down

No 1 choice for Kebab in the area, quality food, never have any issues and fairly priced.

Delicious food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend. The Best Kebab in Surrey :)

We visited in December and the place was lively and the staff were very charming. The location is pretty and the pub dog friendly and cosy. The downsides are the menu didn’t cater enough for vegetarians or those with gluten issues ( no gluten free bread for instance) and I found for what you got it was very expensive for a pub . I had roast potatoes, carrots and two other vegetables and was charged £20 (about double what other pubs would charge for the meal in the area) and a Sunday roast meal for three with no wine or deserts came to almost £80 -But overall a nice experience and a lovely pub and the food was good.

The building is lovely and it used to be a really good restaurant, but it has gone downhill disastrously. The service is poor and the food even worse. Don’t bother to go there! We won’t again unless here is a complete change of management and chefs.

Sadly this restaurant is officially closed down for good since the beginning of January 2018. Another Bel and The Dragon is located in Churt which I would highly recommend.

We come here often and decided to book in for a treat for Christmas Day lunch. We were not disappointed with lovely food and excellent service. We really enjoyed the experience of eating out on Christmas Day and will repeat it. Thank you for the good portions, tasty food and friendly staff.

Last week I ended up going to the Bell & Dragon twice. The first visit was for a below average Xmas lunch priced at a staggering £45 per head with a company I have just joined. The second time was with a group of friends, I was not the organiser. I couldn’t really complain at the time!

Had a very enjoyable lunch here celebrating our wedding anniversary. The food is delicious, the portions very generous and the service from the waiting staff just right. The boiler had broken down so it was a little chilly while we were there but other than that I really liked the ambience. I can recommend the suckling pig and amazing roast potatoes and I also enjoyed my pate starter. The only thing I would change is the wooden boards that everything was beautifully served on - for white china plates - so much more classy - go square by all means - I'm a bit OCD cleanliness wise and I just don't think you can clean a wooden board as easily as you can a china plate. if it wasn't for the boards I'd have given top marks. We were given a lovely complimentary board of delicious chocolate pralines to mark our anniversary which was a lovely surprise and much appreciated. We will be back.

Just an over all poor experience for my mother and i. The staff had a negative uninterested attitude and well as sitting on the ground behind the desk is just appalling behaviour as well as unhygienic. Service was slow, and food was below average! I don’t know where they get there meat from but it was just awful and of

Interesting Venue. Dropped in whilst on shopping trip. Liked the atmosphere. Service was ok but not outstanding. Liked the look of the menue. The food we chose was well presented and very tasty. We will visit again probably having seen the menue, for an evening meal

TOP Restaurant in einer TOP Location !

Too many staff for the number people made me feel uncomfortable like being watched.

My daughter has always wanted to eat here and so it was a perfect reason to book a table to celebrate her 30th birthday. We turned up on time and we had some drinks at the bar before being shown to our table which was upstairs. The restaurant was very busy even though it was a Sunday lunchtime so I would advise anyone to book. The menu has many choices and also a drinks menu to choose from. There were six of us and chose a variety of starters and main courses. From avocado and duck egg to start, mussels, crayfish cocktail and whitebait through to mussels

Food was excellent, the building itself was also beautiful. The service was okay, if a little disinterested if I'm honest. It's not cheap but then you could tell how high quality the ingredients were for the food. Cocktails also a little average, wine menu needed a few more affordable bottles as well as the premium stuff

Wet and drizzly outside, warm and inviting inside. My friend and I had a wonderful lunch with you today rather than doing Christmas shopping. - Claire had the fish and chips (v elegant!) and I had the hake and chorizo. Both delicious and we had enough room to enjoy the crumble. Thank you for looking after us so well, and we're looking forward to another visit in the New Year.

Staff and chef were very accommodating when friend wanted to substitute an item on her lunch for dietary readons

The staff couldn't have been friendlier. Very accommodating of our dog and great service. Food was hot and delicious, pork/hake/veggie and the church building is lovely.

Went for a meal with a friend. Our waitress was very chatty and friendly, and the service was really good. My meal (scallops) was lovely. My friend had Partridge which was a little dry - she felt the way it was presented (on a board with cabbage served in a separate pan and potatoes in another dish) was fussy and said it made the meal difficult to eat. That frustrated her. Our pudding was great though. I'd definitely go again but I think that just putting food on a plate rather than presenting it on a board (especially when there is gravy involved) is probably a good idea!

Table for 1 upstairs was perfect for me. Very helpful staff, they even turned music down near me so I could sit, think and eat in solitary splendour. Delicious food, wine and coffee. Hope to revisit - alone or with friends.

Lovely staff lovely food and nice location. The venue is lovely and nice setting for the occasion. Will definitely visit again

Such a lovely building converted with class and an eye for detail.Wonderful barman, mixes great cocktails and is very friendly. The waiting staff are also very friendly if not quite as polished as at other restaurants in this price range. Sadly at 8pm on a Saturday neither of our first choices were left, then neither was my partner’s second choice. Third choice for her and second for me was not ideal. Still, the food we did get was very tasty, nothing exceptional, but solid enough. And the drinks flowed so all good.The cost was on the high side for the quality, but not massively so.Whilst not going to rush back we’ll probably return at some point, perhaps to try Sunday lunch?

Don't be mistaken by the exterior of the Bel & Dragon. Yes it was a church. And inside, you will find it cleverly converted to accommodate diners on the ground floor and additionally on a mezzanine. Foodwise, Bel is a chain of restaurants, and has worked its menu well. Something for every one I would say. We (3) were sharing the premises with a group of 7 or 8 young mums Birthday lunch, a group of dark suited business men, a couple who looked like they had just finished a country walk, and others. We were there for lunch, for which there was a lunchtime menu along with a la carte.Anyway, food was great, whitebait, fish pie, fried haddock, and partridge, followed by an exquisite sharing apple Tarte Tatin.Service was very good and attentive, food was great, surroundings novel and engaging.

Visited for a family birthday, the food was fantastic with a really diverse menu and everything sounded amazing! The staff were really welcoming without being overbearing! I will definitely be going back to sample the extensive wine list when I'm not designated driver!!

A disappointing visit to Bel and Dragon for Sunday lunch..the service was very slow and the food was not nearly up to the standard of previous meals eaten there. Most of the food served was either overcooked or cold, very unappetising.

Building was fantastic and loved the atmosphere. Staff were very attentive although the cocktails could have arrived faster.Food was very tasty and clearly they source good ingredients.Biggest disappointment was the crumble that had very little blackberries, virtually no custard for the size of portion and had the crumble very crunchy and probably overcooked. When we mentioned this to the waiter, we had no feedback from the chef and were just presented with the expected bill.

Me and my best friend visited here for brunch and 2 bloody Mary's... absoutlty gorgeous. Service from one of the managers and he was great...we had bubble and squeak with scrambled egg and bacon, 100% hangover cure and lovely hospitality, deffo going back :)

Sam and Adam were awesome!!! Besides of making great cocktails, they were super entertaining and fun!!! Esme, our waitress, very nice and thoughtful (she knew it was my daughter's bday celebration and brought enough brownies for the whole table with a bday message). Thanks!!!

We came here after a nice walk, we had booked a table. After being seated we had to ask for water 3 times! Finally we ordered roast chicken that we had had the week before at one of their sister restaurants, which was fantastic there! What can I say other than the same meal here was very disappointing the chicken was cold. The potatoes were so hard you'd break your teeth! The vegetables consisted of pak choy a weird choice for a roast!! Runner beans that had not been prepared just cut up. They were hard and chewy basically we spat them out! There was a small amount of sausage meat. Classed as stuffing! A watery gravy with little taste. Altogether very disappointing food. As for the service........... or the little that we received! It was very poor! No one came near us after our food was served! In the end I walked to the bar and complained. The young man grinned at me and presented my £73 bill!! I was so angry and very disappointed at this stage I choose to pay it and ask for the managers name. I will take this further! We will never ever go back here and I recommend others don't either! Terrible meal with discussing lack of service!

Although the staff are lovely service was slow and a few requests were forgotten. Had the Sunday roast beef meal followed by crumble. Both very bland. Wanted 175ml glass of wine instead of 125ml and obviously expected to pay the extra but they couldn't accommodate this request. Noticed when we got home we had been charged for something we hadn't had but as it was only four pound didn't pursue it further. Reasonable prices and typical food for these types of places. Noticed it is very child friendly, offers vegan options and as I said before lovely staff.

When Bel & the Dragon was originally opened in this old church building it was a really great place. Then a few years ago, something happened and it went downhill fast. So, we thought we would try it again, and I must say I was really very disappointed. The staff are. It that good, they have a poor selection of beer, and no butter at all and, worst of all the small selection of food on heir menu really is not good.I think it is safe to say hat we will not go there agin unless there is a very major change from the top down!Such a shame, because the building itself is lovely.

Went for dinner with friends group of 6 (3 couples)Ambience was lovely, old church conversion, good lighting.Delicious food however, ordered the lamb sharing platter for 2-3 (£70) & the beef sharing platter for 2-3 people (£70). Very disappointed in the portion size given the amount of money per meat dish. Only 4 of us shared both & only got a slice or 2 of meat. Left us still hungry n scrapping for sides of roast vegetables. We felt cheated, definitely not ordering that again!!

Loved the building it is in. Food excellent and we enjoyed our meal. The only thing I would have liked is my main course on a plate as I don't like eating off a slab of wood

Went with my friend as heard great things. I was not disappointed with what I found! Had two glasses of the whispering angel off of the lunch menu (£6 bargain)!!! Then had the sea bass as picture, never order fish and I loved it! Can't wait to return soon to try something else out on the menu.

It was years ago we last visited Bel and the Dragon in Godalming. For a birthday dinner we thought we'd try it again. We always loved the building and decor and remembered that the place had some sort of buzz.Well, not anymore. Even though it was a Saturday evening, the restaurant was rather empty at the approximate 8pm slot. We thought this was odd.As we ordered we thought the dishes were rather on the expensive side. Brexit, anyone? No, joking aside, prices on the menu are really high for a place of this type and then they add the so-called service charge of 12.5% Which takes some rudeness to remove from the bill, really.So we had chicken and suckling pig as main course, respectively. Not bad although far from spectacular. The roast potatoes were tough to cut, in part because the "steak knives" had no serrated edges. Why not? Come on people, it's not rocket science......My house red was OK but cost £5 a glass (175ml) excluding service charge, again way too expensive. Leave alone the £9 for a glass of still French rose.All in all, I think it will be years (and years) before we go again. Will check press (and ***tripadvisor***) before going again.And oh yes. We booked the table through OpenTable. We arrived, identified ourselves and were shown the table we had booked. Not one of the better tables even though the place was not busy, as stated above (nor did it become so). To add insult to administrative injury, we received an email halfway the dinner that our reservation had been cancelled. Why oh why? Once home, we found there was a missed call to our landline around 30 minutes into our dinner. What is going on here? Can't get it right.

Chicken was good but my wife was very bland. Problem I had was how miserable the staff were. No smiles and moody. Probably not go back

Oddly quiet for a saturday night which didnt help the ambience but can't fault the food and the service.

Great food and service, but would like to see at least one vegetarian, vegan and allergy free option on the menu.

An amazing building to eat in and good service. The more wintery mains were good, above average meat and vegetables executed well. The tuna starter was visually beautiful but not quite on the mark flavour-wise, too many conflicting strong flavours in my opinion. Good, great in places but yet to great all round.

We went as a group of six. Food was great. Wine was great. Staff were great. All on all an excellent experience.

We hadn't planned to go to the 'Bel and Dragon' but with train disruptions and the tasty looking wine list we wanted to try the food. Friday night at 8pm having not booked we expected to wait. However, quiet enough they found us a table. This only benefitted us as the waitress and service was impeccable. We were offered a glass of fizz each when we sat down and a 'happy birthday brownie board' for dessert. This put a nice shine to the experience and was a gesture well received by my partner. As we were hungry we decided to pre-start with the squid nibble. Cooked perfectly. I then opted for the hefty sized Mussels for starters and at £9 a portion! As expected these were cooked precisely and really tasty. I know we are in Surrey and Godalming is affluent but £11 for starters is expensive for anyone. Also one little quibble would have been a warm finger bowl to clean my hands. My main was superb. I would highly rate the suckling pig! The piece pork was a thick and tender size and complimented well with the spiced apple chutney. The potatoes were soft yet crispy and the crackling finished the dish. Lacking in vegetables we ordered 2 sides to share. These at £4 a portion was a bit steep. But the cauliflower was yummy. My partner chose the Chicken Milanese which she wouldn't recommend. Flattened and breaded she thought it wasn't worth the price.The wine list is one of the main reasons I wanted to try this restaurant. The barman told us a few weeks back they had been voted one of the best wine lists in Surrey. Highly exciting for a wine trade professional like myself. We wanted a nice new world Pinot Noir and Felton Road is one of the best New Zealand producers. Again this followed the premium prices at over £60 but the wine was perfect with both our dishes. Be wary of the automatic optional 12.5% service charge added to the bill. We were in no confusion to get that removed and leave a cash tip. I would unequivocally eat again at the bel and dragon but when the bill came, I wouldn't make it a regular thing. Great food though!

Saturday lunchtime, rather quite but warm welcome and excellent service and food. Pulled pork in brioche a particular hit! Amazing venue which must be stunning at night, planning to go for cocktail masterclass. Artwork and birthday surprise particularly impressive. Thank you.

Had a delightful, leisurely lunch catching up with friends. The space is unique and we all remarked on the restful space and pace. The staff were attentive yet unobtrusive, the food beautifully presented and delicious and we all loved the fact that we could enjoy setting our own pace and could hear our conversation rather than overhearing others. The space between tables was generous. We shall be back. Thank you to all who made it such a pleasurable experience.

I have been here a number of times and it is a favourite of mine. It has the full package - brilliant food, polite and friendly service in a beautiful building. Highly recommend.

Another great night out at The Bel and Dragon in Godalming. Not the cheapest place, but good for the occasional treat or celebration.

I was familiar with this place years ago when it was very much of its time in the naughties: rather self-important glorified gastro-pub, pricey, austere and "foody". The place I visited tonight for first time in years had stripped the whole vibe back. although you still have the unique feel of being in a former church, and the great space that it offers, the place is more informal, relaxed and appealing. Service was exemplary: really pleasant, attentive, offered to change element in dish for me cos I am veggie. Best part: they noticed my friend had given me a birthday present so they brought me a glass of nice fizz (not Prosecco either!) and some brownies on a "happy birthday" platter! Food was fabulous too. It still is at the higher end of the local price range but worth it!

WE were running late, so called the team who were happy let us arrive late. Great service, lovely food & wine list + a reasonable price. Great for a lazy Sunday afternoon. The brunch menu looked good too, may have to come back for brunch next

Went for Sunday lunch hadn't been to the Bel and the Dragon for several years as we thought the food was not great the last time we visited. Thought we would try again as we had a discount voucher to use. Inside the restaurant was great with nice bar area suitable for just popping in for a drink and plenty of room and tables downstairs. Also an upper floor with further tables. The menu choice was very good with a good selection of starters and mains to select.We both decided on the Sunday roast, we chose pork and lamb. The food was delicious, presented well with a good selection of vegetables and roasties. Dessert selection was good tooOverall a very nice experience and would recommend a visit .We will be visiting again

We have enjoyed several dinners and our son's christening lunch at Bel & the Dragon previously, where we had loved the care, individuality and buzz about the place, but we were very disappointed with our recent visit. Firstly, they managed to cancel our booking, so we arrived to be told we weren't on the reservations list - hardly the welcome we were after.Drinks ordering was slow - I think we'd been forgotten as our order was only taken as the lovely waitress walked past. The menu has barely changed at all in 5 years. Why bother dating it at the top if you don't change it seasonally, particularly to keep variation and interest for returning customers. Very poor.Food was well cooked and presented but where the chefs used to look energised and a buzz came from the kitchen and bounced into the whole restaurant, it was quite the opposite. The lights had not been dimmed and no candlelight on the tables which created a complete lack of atmosphere and charm. We won't be rushing back and sadly I can't see things changing as I suspect this all comes from the top with no care for the experience, the staff or customer but to turnover profit. What a shame, but lots of nearby competition who are getting the formula right.

Been several times before and were pleased. Visited April and staff & service very poor although food excellent. Altogether a disappointing, pretty expensive, evening and I feel we let down our guests by taking them there. Sadly we won't be rushing back.

We went to Bel & the Dragon for my son's birthday. Luck was on our side as on this evening they held their first comedy night. On this special night they offered a set menu of either suckling pig, fish or risotto with sorbet or lemon pie for desert. After the delicious dinner we were treated to a fun evening. We would definitively go back.

Waitress and manager very good. Food cold and grossly overpriced.

Nice evening as always. We both had chicken schnitzel which was good. Egg not runny though! And chips could have been cooked a bit more. Overall food good and service excellent. Barman particularly friendly<br />And helpful.

Honestly the best Sunday lunch I've ever had! Such a beautiful restaurant in an old church we were shocked how beautiful it really was. The staff were friendly and attentive and we were very impressed with the food. I definitely recommend and we will be back!

Had a lovely brunch today - My husband had eggs, bacon on top of golden bubble and squeak and i had the same but with smoked salmon. Service was very cheerful, friendly and engaging. food came quickly and was delicious. Have been to Bel and the Dragon in Reading and so had an expectation of the type of food we would eat. Would go back again.

Great for cocktails, and wine, and a beautiful building with friendly efficient staff. Food is overpriced however for what it is, not representing good value and the place was empty Friday night, bar another few couples, meaning it lacked buzz and atmosphere.

Consistently good food, inspired space (converted church), convenient in the center of Godalming

Always friendly, always great food. Service is excellent and the location is first class. Just go, I promise you it will be a great experience

We had a lovely meal .Good choice for me as a non meat eater had several options of fish seafood and vegetarian.

Sunday Roast ( Suckling pig &amp; crackling) most agreeable but one modest bowl of vegetables between 7 was far from satisfactory and didn't justify the £19 outlay. Staff, however were prompt, friendly and efficient.

Staff brilliant decor atmosphere spot on...food (grilled chicken ) really tasty...lack of vegetables and at £16 for grilled chicken you expect some greens...Tasted great though craft lager lovely...friendly staff though really made visit...felt so chilled. ..

Just arrived back from an early evening dinner with my wife. Our first visit and most certainly won't be our last. Lovely friendly welcome and that set the tone for an excellent meal. The food is piping hot, quality ingredients, cooked well and in good portions. Some great flavour combinations. Can thoroughly recommend all the dishes we had - such as the mackerel pate, the duck on pakchoi and the suckling pig was superb. Finished off with an Eton mess (and two spoons!) Our compliments to the excellent chefs and the friendly and attentive front of house staff. Would thoroughly recommend a visit. A hiccup in organisation which was entirely our fault was dealt with good grace and humour for which we are very grateful.

A wonderful relaxed and leisurely Sunday lunch at Bel and the Dragon. Friendly and attentive staff. We will definitely be back.

We visited today for Sunday lunch, we were given a table straight away but asked to move as the table was very wobbly.The Beetroot starter was very tasty and was good value, my hubby had Duck egg and Avocado which he enjoyed.My hubby for his main had the crispy Pork which he thought very nice, I choose the Chicken Milanese. The Chicken Milanese was not my best choice, it was moist and the coating was crisp but I am not sure it had the Black Truffle oil on. I felt it a bit boring and tasteless. The pudding, Baked Alaska was scrummy - I wish I had had 2 of them instead of the Chicken.The staff were attentive and pleasant and we would have tipped them but noticed a 12.5 % "Discretionary Service charge" automatically added to the bill and card machine was a little cheeky. All in all enjoyable but at almost £100 for a Sunday Lunch a tad steep.Very large party downstairs who were rather noisy and oblivious to the needs of others - blocking the aisles and reluctant to move to let others pass, shouting across the restaurant to each other etc. did spoil the atmosphere somewhat.

This converted church is a beautiful place to eat. The decor is classy. The waiters were very friendly and fairly attentive. The chef knows what he's doing with tasty food and balanced flavours. We just wondered if the smallish portion sizes and lack of change from a tenner for starters and twenty quid for mains was a reason for it being quiet on a Saturday night. My crab linguine main was starter size and whilst my tuna with wasabi starter was delicious there wasn't enough of it. The tarte tatin is definitely recommended and they have hogs back on tap. Will probably go back but there's lots of choice for 50 quid each without much booze in the area.

We went early evening and just had main courses (we thought the starters were a bit expensive). My wife had the fish special -Hake which was excellent. I had Chicken Milanese which was a very good size portion with a very nice crispy crumb. We had the house wine which comes in a magnum and you only pay for what you drink! Overall a good experience although a bit pricey.

Great meal with you on Friday with friends and look forward to returning.

We sat at table 21, lovely building, with a great balcony. We were wonderfully looked after by Jessica, Esme and Tiegan, very helpful and attentive, making the night very special for my wife and I. The food was awesome as always, and The Old fashioned which JC made was just fantastic. Great night, great atmosphere, service and food. Would highly recommend if ever in Godalming

We visited Belle and the Dragon yesterday evening for two family Birthdays and a house move celebration, so a special evening for us. Sadly we did not enjoy the evening. My husband and I arrived first and asked for cocktails. At this point probably a dozen or so other diners in the restaurant. Ten minutes later our son and daughter in law arrived. Our cocktails arrived at the same time, but the waiter did not even make eye contact or ask our son if they wanted drinks. So they went to the bar and got their own. We then had to chase again for a second round of drinks. The food was OK, but certainly not up to the high prices and the service was slow and we had to chase several times every time we wanted anything. We asked for mustard and it didn't appear so in the end I went to the kitchen asked again but by then we had just about finished our meal. We ordered desserts which I think were forgotten and appeared some time later. The only thing all night which was prompt was the bill. We explained how disappointed we were to the manager of the evening and were told if we had mentioned all this earlier we could have had free pudding. Nothing was removed from our bill and we will not return here and will let our friends know how very poor and disappointing this was. Overview. We eat out a lot and the food was good and tasty and beautifully presented but over priced and the service was dreadful.

Celebrated my birthday dinner, my husband asked if my dessert could have a candle in it but the restaurant had no candles. Unbelievably the restaurant had no heater on, and with it being a very cold evening we had to sit and eat in the freezing cold for two hours. Following our visit I actually came down with a cold.

We had a great experience when visiting this restaurant. The food was very tasty with both waitresses and chefs accommodating to our requests without a problem. The atmosphere was very romantic and all members of staff were very welcoming. All in all our time there was delightful.

It was okay. The food does not stand out and when we asked for wine recommendation's to go with our meal we were told a wine which did not go at all (but was the waitresses favourite..). The decor is lovely but the atmosphere is pretty dead with the staff all feeling like they are all brand new.. bit clueless (they also forgot half my meal! Which i pointed out and it did come later). The cocktails were very nice though. Real shame that such a lovely building is not being used properly. I hope the food and service improve as it seems like a real wasted opportunity. In fairness although the staff were clueless they were very nice.

We were here the other week. This is an overpriced restaurant selling average food. The menu is limited.

It's out third time at the Bel and Dragon, and the first time they had mussels on the menu - or maybe the first time we spotted it maybe.Atmosphere and decor is fab, it's an old church which is now a restaurant, which may sound a bit odd but it's really very nice and warm and pleasant.As before we were seated quickly and the staff were more than friendly. We quickly ordered, I had a duck salad for starters and other half had small mussels. My duck salad was very tasty, honey, ginger, spring onions and hoi sin go very well with duck. At this point I was getting wafts of musselly smell from my other half's bowl. They sure looked and smelled good!Thankfully I ordered mussels for main. And when they came, my word. They were incredible. The sauce was creamy and bacony - what more can you want!? The mussels themselves were large meaty things, not piddly small things like in other places. I mopped up the sauce with bread, a spoon and though I am slightly ashamed to say, also poured the last drops from the bowl straight into my mouth!Pud, I ordered a gluten free chocolate gooey delight called 'the nemesis'. After that, I was done. Completely done. I cannot remember the last time I felt so very full.Although everything about the meal was spot on, the mussels did shine out. If you like mussels, then you need to go here. Now.
