This Chinese was once great but of now terrible! Started with spare ribs which were really good. The main was sweat and sour which tasted like vinegar, battered prawns which tasted like banana oddly (guess it’s the batter). And egg fried rice which was almost glow in the dark orange in colour. Also the man at the reception is very grumpy ! ☺️ Sorry but I won’t go back now.

We'd passed the Five Bells several times but never ventured in. Last night we decided to go for a meal and are so glad we did. It was by far the best meal we've had in a very long time (and we've eaten out a lot recently). The steak and ale suet pudding was delicious, the meat was tender and full of flavour, the pastry cooked to perfection. Cod can normally be a bit dull but it was brought to life by the veloute and the leeks were particularly good. The desserts didn't disappoint either, I'd always wanted to try Basque cheesecake and it was silky smooth and one of the nicest cheesecakes I've had. The restaurant has a lovely feel to it, especially sat next to the open fire. The food was delicious and just the right amount. The staff member who served us was friendly and we had a nice chat. If this place was on our doorstep we'd consider ourselves very lucky indeed!

We stopped here for 'quick' coffee, what a joke! I waited at the deserted food counter, along with another couple who were ahead of me, for about five minutes while the person who was presumably supposed to be taking orders faffed about in the Kitchen. We three were the only customers at the counter. When she did finally appear she was unable to deal with the other couples order without help for some else who she dutifully went off to find. She eventually reappeared with another member of staff in tow and they both huddled round the till trying to figure out the problem. When it was resolved the original server continued with the rest of the couples order while the other staff member looked straight through me and disappeared back into the Kitchen. As it was now getting on for ten minutes of waiting like a Lemon I decided to give up and go elsewhere. If this is an example of how they treat their customers I am not surprised the place was virtually empty at Lunchtime. So if you want my advice it would be go somewhere else!!
