    Started off badly, they missed part of the order. (easily done, but dissapointing at first. They did offer a refund and discount next time). However, I can honestly say, they made up for it with the best Chinese food we've had in ages. The ingredients are premium (loads of fresh veg in veggie dishes) and the flavours are spot on. It's not one of those meals where everything blends in to make a bland greasy mess, everything is well cooked, seasoned and fresh. I felt bad for phoning up and complaining, once we'd eaten. They can keep the discount next time, as it was the first takeaway we've really enjoyed in a long time.

    We had takeaway. Delicious food. My daughter’s vegan and they were able to cater for her. If you like spicy, the stir fried mixed vegetables Mongolian style was very lively!
