The kitchen sticks to what it does well, with the wok kept busy through the evenings serving the kind of comforting, generously sauced dishes that travel well for a night in front of the television. Diners give it a respectable 4.2/5 from a small but loyal band of reviewers, with regulars pointing to consistent cooking and friendly, no-nonsense service as the reasons they keep coming back.

Expect the full sweep of takeaway-Chinese staples, from sizzling stir-fries and crispy starters to rice and noodle boxes built for sharing, all geared towards collection and a swift trip home.
