Fancied a little nibble this evening cost me £18.80 and it was the most vile chinese I have ever tried to eat. 1 chips, 2 pancake rolls half portion chicken balls, half portion prawn balls and an egg fried rice. You would not think you could go wrong with those few bits. Chips were cold, prawn balls were undercooked and completely dough inside and prawns undercooked and cold, the bag that had the pancake rolls had at least a quarter of a cup of oil in the bottom of the bag and the rice was crispy and lukewarm.This was one of the few times I could not eat my food and was so disappointed that I will never buy from them again.

Ordered from here as was recommended to us. We really did not enjoy the food at all. In fact I actually spat it back out, and threw it all away. We won't be back here.

Had another nice meal from Lin Lam this evening. Just like the many we have had from this place over the last 50 years.

We’ve had a fair few takeaways from here and most of the time it’s been okish, then we found another Chinese just up the road so started using them most of the time until tonight, we thought we would go back and try here again …… NEVER again, we both ordered a simple curry, the chicken was big lumps of meat and the sauce looked like it had been reheated and a load of stodge and to be honest I’ve served my dog better looking food than that, the place also looks like it hasn’t had a lick of paint in years so I dread to think what the kitchen is like!!!!

Had a takeaway recently whilst visiting family. Best chop suey I've had, all the veg was fresh and crunchy, the rice noodles were good too. 6 of us all enjoyed what we had ordered. Tastes more home made and fresh compared to a lot of other Chinese meals I've had elsewhere in the past.

We have had Chinese from here for many years and it has been good.This weekend we had the worst meal ever from there.We had ribs which were burnt,sweet ‘ n ‘sour prawns which must have been cooked and re heated special Chou mein very dry and sweet and sour chicken with hardly any sauce.It was horrible.We will never go there again.

Ordered half a duck. Very little meat on it. Salt and chilli chicken wasn’t very meaty. Sesame toast tasted of vinegar Chicken satay sticks were very small portions. Felt like we’d overpaid for the meal given what we’ve had elsewhere

Ordered a lamb wrap and chips, after an hour and 15 mins of waiting for an update I called.. and called.. and called… no answer. Even went to the extent of calling the business next door to see if the place was open. Almost 2 hours later the food finally arrived, stone cold.

So last Saturday 23november we ordered takeaway our usual from the 2 set sections on menu asked the price when told yet again price had gone up another £3 odd so okay everything has … but when it arrived they have cut the portions down I always have beef curry egg fried rice served in same box well it was very dry I’d say 65%35% curry was not happy, pancake roll had literally 1 prawn in it an nothing but bean shoots an they charged us for delivery we only live by airport so next day I rang Timbo house an spoke to the lady who was very rude to me said the meal is always like that I told her Noway I’ve been having it for years then I questioned her about Delivery charge she said we have always been charged again Noway …I said are you going to do anything about this she was rude obnoxious an said No you haven’t ordered for 2-3yrs we order about 6 times a year for the past 25yrs I’d say ,,,,,,,,for £26 for that meal that would be our last from them

We booked for Boxing Day and everything was all ready and waiting on arrival and was advised there had been a slight accident with a pudding but we were offered alternatives and this was sorted straight away. The staff were all very polite and helpful and all the food was brought out on time and no complaints. We do this every year with our family at the Anne Boylen and we are never disappointed
