Helpful and friendly staff. Food was lovely. The texture of the chicken was lovely, not slimy like at lot of takeaways. Flavours were spot on. Portion sizes good. I recommend you try it out. Sue

Good service despite the phone ringing off the hook with orders on the first Friday since opening. Pretty standard British Chinese fare, but well executed and good portions. We loved the crispy duck pancakes - decent plum sauce and the salad was nice and fresh. Also liked the big moist chunks of char siu, which so many places tend to dry out, and lovely big pieces of veg. Nice nod in the shop name to a popular picnic spot on the moors that only locals know.
