We eat out as a family very often, quite often for Chinese food. This was an absolutely awful place to eat. I used to go often over 5 maybe 10 years ago and always considered it a good restaurant and still hear and read about how good it is. Obviously people who like this food do not travel very far or try other places. We went on a Friday night arriving at 7pm, we were rushed to our table and asked what drinks we want before getting to sit down. When the drinks arrived the waitress passed the drinks out from one corner of the table, reaching across our faces and interrupting our conversation, a minor point maybe but it was a sign of things to come - poor training - especially at these prices. We ordered our food but the waiter was in a great hurry to get on with something else? The starters arrived very quickly, the waitress seemed unable to place the food on the table and we were forced to move everything and help with the dishes. The food itself was very bland with one of the starters only having 1 slice of chilli for the entire dish, nachos at the cinema have more kick. All of the food was very greasy, that was the first £25 wasted More shoddy service later and the mains arrived and I have to say I was amazed , I didn't think they could have less flavour and more grease than the starters but somehow they managed to do it - perhaps this is a culinary skill I am unaware of. I can honestly produce better food at home. By this time, 45 minutes in, I was ready to leave, luckily for us I think they wanted to try and get 3 sittings done and see how quickly a table could be processed so we were all singing from the same hymn sheet on that one. 4 starters, 3 mains, 4 drinks, 50 minutes, 70 pounds later and we had escaped. Thankfully there is a Tesco's across the way and I could obtain chewing gum and chocolate to get rid of the greasy feeling in my mouth. I can name so many better places to eat, even a fast food place like Wagamama has tastier better value food. Don't go, don't believe what anyone else tells you.
