- “Honestly, the best Chinese I’ve had up in this part of the country. The hot and sour soup was the best I’ve ever had. I had crispy prawns with chilli and sesame oil. Out of this world. My husband loved his two curry dishes, not watery like some of the ones he’s ordered.”

We like the 10” share munch box for £13, which is a 10” pizza box filled with salt and spicy chicken and chips, salt and spicy spare ribs, vegetable spring rolls, egg fried rice and curry sauce and chicken balls. Lovely stuff.
