Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the crispy beef, which several say was actually crispy, alongside food that arrives fast and very hot, even after a long delivery on a bank holiday weekend. Close behind are the beef with black bean sauce, house special chow mein, salt and pepper deep fried prawns, Thai green curry, squid and sweet and sour chicken, with portions described as generous and prices as fair or cheap. Staff are called pleasant, and one reviewer praises the lady taking orders as lovely and friendly. The main complaint comes from a camping group who asked for eight orders to be bagged separately. They were told they would pay delivery on each, and the order arrived unnumbered, leaving them sorting out which dish was which, though only one person got the wrong dish. One reviewer adds that the place can be very busy and parking may be difficult at busy times. Even that reviewer called the food excellent, tasty and a good portion.

“Crowd of us on camping site. 8 couples, so asked if they could bag up the 8 orders separately and deliver to me. Told can't do that or you pay delivery on each order! Strange?. Anyway ordered everything and it arrived on time but oh such a muddle to sort everything out, nothing was numbered which I asked for. Total confusion £177 is a lot to sort out which dish was what.!!! Thankfully only one person got wrong dish. Despite this the food was excellent, tasty and good portion. Just a shame it took so long to sort out hence 4 star for service.”
