I ate there last Tuesday evening. There were eight of us at the table and the staff gave us a genuine warm welcome. The meals were of a high quality and quite ample portions and were well cooked. The service was very good and the time lapse between ordering and the meals arriving at the table was quicker than expected considering that the place was quite busy. As to whether I would go again, my wife has just booked for a party of seventeen for next Tuesday. I really enjoyed it.

the last time i went to this establishment I waited for one hour and twenty minutes for the main course to arrive and when it did one of the dishes was not what we ordered. Having sat down at 7.00pm and the time then being 8.50pm. I requested the bill and we left. They did not even offer any explanation/ apology for the disaster. It was my Wedding Anniversary and the debacle which they offered was totally unacceptable. As to whether I will go again "WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER".

We made a spontaneous visit last week for a late lunch after we had visited the Beacon exhibition, whilst on holiday in the Lake District. There were no tables free but the lovely staff brought in one of the outside tables for us. The food was delicious. I had their homemade vegetable soup with a cheese scone (fresh, light and cheesy!); my husband had a made-to-order bacon and egg roll. The staff were only too happy to accommodate his desire for crispy bacon (and lashings of ketchup!). This was followed by caramel shortbread - the best I have ever had. We recommended the cafe to our friends who visited the next day with their 3 children. They were also suitably impressed. If we lived in the area we would definitely be regulars. This is a fantastic place!

A group of 5 of us ate here last Saturday. The food was generally very good although the service was a little lacking. There seemed to be lots of staff around but we did not get the water we asked for and a plate was not provided for one person's main course. Don't ask for a pudding as they all seemed to be unavailable.

I had my daughters christening here, wanted somewhere that catered for everyone from kids who wanted ice cream right through to the oldies who wanted a nice cuppa and those in the middle who wanted something stronger. The service I received right from day one when I popped in to make initial enquiries right through to the point when I was ushering my drunk rellies out way after closing time was exceptional. Nothing I asked for was a problem and despite my last minute manner of organising everything including having someone around to let the balloon people in, playing my own cd, having the tables rearranged etc. The couple who run the place bent over backwards to make sure everything went according to plan. I have very fond memories of the day, the food was gorgeous and plentiful, the kids were given lovely hartleys ice creams, the place looked great with stunning views across the marina and most of all there was a great atmosphere with everyone enjoying themselves. I have had loads of positive feedback from guests who attended the christening and I would not hesitate to book this venue again or just to go along and dine there.

I was at this Restaurant at the weekend and the food, staff and bistro view are all fantastic. I would recommend the bistro and the cafe to anyone who is visiting the area

absolutely superb! i went to this restaurant with my family and i have to say i was the best meal i have ever had. the service was impeccable and we were made to feel welcome and had a brilliant evening. i would thoroughly recommend this bistro to anyone, it has a brilliant menu and could accommodate for my parents wide dietary requirements.

I loved this Chinese and went back for a meal a few weeks ago and I was very disappointed :( the meal was really bad, very expensive and they were serving me tesco value lemonade. I will never be back I could have cooked a better Chinese myself.

Do not eat here i seen the chef standing outside urinating by the bins which was weird seen as there is toilets inside! god knows if he washed his hands when he went back in to prepare food!!

Stunning food and service, homely but authentic surroundings, and a great takeaway service to boot, spot on !

Been going there for last 6 years... Excellent food and very good service. Owner, Nurul, very friendly and helpful. 10/10

The service at Akash was lacking enthusiasm, although the food was up to a decent standard, i much prefer the place across the road - Ali Taj.

Fantastic food and great service. Great place for a family/friends get together.

Food is ok but service was a let down. Not the best evening for me. Prefer the Ali Taj.

worst italian I've ever been to. Service was terrible, Salmon was from a tin and the price was not reflective off the poor overall experience... Sorry, but definately one to miss!

brilliant,good service and good food. nice owner aswell. what more could you ask for?
