Excellent service when we were here on a Saturday evening. Restaurant was busy with a few large parties but our food was served really quickly and nothing was too much trouble, even with a coeliac in our party. Really well organised, unlike other Pizza Express restaurants we've been to.
I’ve not had a ‘Chinese’ takeaway for ages, so thought I’d give my local and nearest a try. I chose the set meal ‘A’ for Two People, and it came with plenty of food; in fact it would easily feed 3 if not 4 people with average appetites.
The menu comprised:
* Chicken & Sweet Corn Soup
* Crispy Curry Won Ton
* Prawn Crackers
• Sweet & Sour Chicken
• Beef with Green Pepper in Black Bean Sauce /
• Fried Mxed Vegetables
• Egg Fried Rice.
In terms of freshness and quantity I couldn’t fault anything; BUT it was fairly bland with almost no taste. The Beef actually has a chilli next to it on the list of individual items, but there was no trace of heat nor taste of any chilli. The S&S Chicken had the most flavour but there must’ve been more veg than chicken, and not enough S&S sauce. I paid extra to have Special Fried Rice instead of Egg Fried and it was tasteless, and missing most of the so called Special bits.
If it feeds 4, then for six pounds per head it’s not bad value; IF however you’re like me and you base a good review on the quality and taste of the food, then this is no more than mediocre at best.
Nice takeaway we use a lot. Reliable and friendly. Quick service and food cooked the way we like it. Clean and no issues. Portions good. Delivery available if needed. Was cash only but now accepting card I believe.
I ordered a beef curry and egg fried rice. I was slightly suspicious given the fact that the meal was turned around in about three minutes.
My suspicion was qualified by the fact I have now had a very bad upset stomach for 24 hours
Wonderful meal with attentive, kind service. We ate the seabass (2 big fillets) in Tamarind sauce, with sticky rice and a lovely, herby, bright laab salad on the side. We went for 'normally spicy' and loved it. Our kind host looked after our 15-year-old, too, amending her duck dish so it wasn't so spicy, so she loved it too.
Naturally, we had the mixed starter and some tempura veg to start - both were great, and fun to share. 'More-interesting-than-standard' prawn toasts, super-sized, well-filled spring rolls, lovely prawns and corn cakes.
Food, decor, music, ambience and comfort, all 5* Portion sizes are generous, so we have more for the fridge :)
Always a nice and tasty pizza with great value from this place, always received a friendly service and have great banter with these guys. Nice amount of topping and happy to swap items on toppings for others. Recommended and see you next Saturday guys.
