First and last visit. We were met on arrival by a lovely lady who led us to the bar. The man behind the bar demanded we order a drink - didn't give us any menus or explanations as to pricing and drinks available. Didn't let us know pricing and just told us to pay an amount on the card machine. We were led to a table that was clean. Most of the food was not hot and luke warm at best. Chicken - as mentioned by other reviews tasted awful and put me off eating the other chicken dishes. Prawn toast was, by far, the best bit of the meal. Crispy duck was tasteless and worryingly, hard to chew, almost like there were crushed bones in it. Non chocolate coated profiteroles was the best dessert. Eclairs had this weird off tasting custard filling. Plates were not cleared until we were leaving the table. This place could be so good but, unfortunately, we will not be coming again to find out.

We found the chicken to be very fake tasting.It was fatty , chewy substitute meat rather than real chicken . The food wasn’t hot. I wouldn’t go back because of these points.

I had been here once before and liked it, but not this time. In some of the chicken dishes (the sweet and sour and satay chicken - don't know about the rest as I didn't try all chicken dishes), the 'chicken' seemed a weird clear white colour and was stringy and greasy; it was so disgusting and left rest of it. Most dishes seem to have nuts in which didn't need to have nuts in, such as chicken wings, thereby limiting the choice of things my children could have. Even though the restaurant was practically empty, they did not clear our plates, resulting in them stacking up on table. There was a weird public toiletty bleach smell near the kitchen area. As soon as you get into the restaurant, they tell you to pay and demand to know at the till what drink you want. It would be more appropriate to allow people to sit down and have time to look at the drinks menu, then expecting people to know what drinks you have. Or at the very least, if you want it paid upon entry, at least say something like, 'would you like to look at our drinks menu now (and point people in direction of said menu) or would you like to come back to bar once you've had a few minutes to decide. I don't think this is good value for money; the food quality has seriously gone downhill; perhaps switching to poor quality ingredients in order to maximize profits and take advantage of customers. I won't be back.

First time here definitely would not return. The food was luke warm and the meat (chicken) seemed undercooked and squidgy. Tried a little bit of various things but all tasted strange. Dessert choice was poor and chocolate fountain is unpleasant - very strange colour and watery. We left without eating much of anything and got food elsewhere . We did tell the manager our feedback. Very expensive mistake.

Very basic restaurant more like school canteen with plastic plates and warm food. Massive catering with little effort. Very tired seats. Won’t be going back.

First time there and food was cold and tasteless and unfortunately I had bad stomach cramps when I got home. I was the only one who had the special fried rice. Won’t be going again
