Pretty much the same as the previous review. We had booked for 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and turned up to see that the place was in darkness and locked up… this is despite the opening hours were 12pm until 10pm. So we knocked the door in hope that we would be able to go to our table. A guy it seemed was locked in from the inside and asked us through the window to knock the residents door next door (it seems we had woke them up). Eventually after a brief wait someone came down and opened up. We took our seats at the table and proceeded to order our food and drinks. When ordering our food, we were then asked if we wanted to write on the menu what we wanted!! (We obviously said no) Any normal restaurant would have a notepad and take orders but this wasn’t a normal restaurant! He then took our orders of which he decided to write down on the menu. After waiting 1/2 hr some of the food came out and did not meet expectations. The chicken soup was spilled everywhere when it came to the table and if it wasn’t for the reactions of the customer then it would of been all over his clothes. The crispy fried wantons were meant to be filled with chicken and prawns (according to the menu) but only had flavourings. The waiter could not explain why due to a language barrier between him and the chef. Things got worse when he started swearing and at this point people were still waiting for food 15 minutes after the others came. We told him we were leaving and to forget it. It’s only a matter of time before this place is closed. They can’t run a bath let alone a restaurant!
Had table for four booked ....arrived on time to a closed door! Honestly we have been here often with previous owners and it was excellent every visit, with a special European grazing menu. I suspect most of the reviews posted were of the service provided by the ex owners. No excuses tendered, no messages received for reasons why doors were closed. Not the way to run a successful restaurant. If you book be very wary! This is not a fake review.
Completed online booking form to book a table for a birthday meal to never receive any confirmation. Attempted to phone… phone number not in use. Used the online WhatsApp system… my message was read and never replied to!!! Awful customer service and have booked elsewhere instead.
We ate here last night and the food was really good it’s a shame that the restaurant was so quiet but I’m guessing that people read old reviews and pay attention to them ! Give this place a chance people the food is much better than in the other restaurants in this little town
Lovely Thai and Chinese food and tasty dim sum. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Id recommend it for dinner in Church Stretton. Dog friendly too!
