We were really looking forward to this evening as we both love Malaysian food and had booked it two months in advance. The pub service was very good and professional but we left feeling disappointed with the food. We often sign up to supper clubs and felt that given the ingredients, £55 per head for four courses, was very steep. Rice and lentils (although the dal was delicious) are very basic. The atmosphere was very congenial tho' and Ping was charming. We were expecting more of a "wow" factor having watched her progress avidly from Masterchef.

Went to a recent Makan event with 5 of my friends and we had a great time. Ping had created a menu that contained some wonderful flavours, textures and new interpretations of Malaysian dishes. The star dish of the night for me was the pork in black rice vinegar and pickled cucumber - a real flavour explosion. I know this event was the first in the new venue and yet it felt like previous events - friendly, social and everyone enjoying great food and a chance to chat with Ping about the food. We all left very happy and talking about the next Makan...:-)

3.5 stars overall - but rounded up to four. We ordered bbq ribs, crispy fried beef, egg fried rice, plain rice, chicken chow mein and sweet and sour chicken balls. I supplemented the meal with my own slow cooked pork in a 5-spice sauce. This is a basic Chinese takeaway that seems to be doing ok as a business. I’ve moved house recently and this is now my nearest takeaway. I’ve been driving past it for years and always wondered what it was like. Now I know. It is a basic takeaway doing the standard stuff. Not terrible but not fine dining. The one star reviews are just as unrealistic as the five star reviews in my opinion. The ribs were fine. Tender enough and sauce not too overpowering. Not as tough as I’ve had from other takeaways in Bath recently, so a thumbs up, overall. Sweet and sour chicken balls was the standard bits of chicken battered and deep fried and served with a pot of luminous bright red gloopy sauce. No vegetables were harmed (or used even) in the making of this dish. Separate sauce is appreciated - chicken still crispy. A classic of old school takeaways. It was what I expected and I wasn’t disappointed. The crispy shredded beef was for my daughter. Not much beef compared to the batter in this one. (I’ve had similar before, so I think this is the style of this dish.) And because it was served in the sauce in a sealed container it had no great chance of being crispy when I’d got the food home, despite being close by. I’ve had better but this wasn’t as terrible as made out in other reviews. Chicken chow mein was a generous portion. Salty but not too bad. I would have liked the option of some Chinese leaf / Pak Choi - or some broccoli or something, but this might not be that sort of takeaway! Staff seemed friendly. Got some free prawn crackers and a calendar. Freebies always go down well. All served on time, and hot enough. Not too expensive nor would you expect it to be. The best dish I ate was the slow cooked Chinese style pork. Oh hang on. I cooked that, sorry! Overall this was fine, as expected and I will be back, especially as I’m close by now.

Really lovely Chinese! Cash only. Was hesitant cause of past reviews not being very frequent but it hit the nail on the head. Mums request for her birthday and she was happy as Larry (: Had mainly vegetable dishes but she said the duck and black bean was super good
