    Stopped in for a drink 3 days ago and after checking out the menu decided we had to return! Four of…read moreus dined here on this Monday evening and had an excellent experience. Started with drinks in the bar, then made our way to the dining room. Starters were mussels (salty morsels of goodness in a succulent broth best mopped up with the moist slices of bread) and squid (slightly over cooked). Our mains ranged from smoked haddock over mustard mash with creamed leeks, to prawn curry over rice, with an order of Seafood Ramen and a seafood stew in between. We all tried each dish and approved of every morsel (the plates were embarrassingly clean when we were done. You'd think that was a sign of full/satiated diners, but we decided to sample the rhubarb walnut crumble with custard for dessert, and didn't regret it. We were seated in a place where the kitchen crew was on display all evening, and that was entertaining and inspiring--very diligent/dedicated workers! I'd have to say that my only complaint was that we had to ask to get out water jug refilled twice rather than just relying on the wait staff to notice. This may be an American vs English issue though--they've still earned their 5 stars!

    Stopped in here for lunch while driving from London to Liverpool on a gloomy, rainy day because I…read morewas craving noodle soup and the reviews were incredible. It was set about 15-min from the A6 but wow was it worth the detour! They have a massive menu with foods from all over east Asia. We decided to share a starter of salt & pepper short ribs. The husb opted for Singapore noodles (his favorite) and I was going to order spicy combination noodle soup but was recommended to try the Spicy Tom Yum Noodle Soup the was on the specials board. I love tom yum so it was a no-brainer to take the recommendation. The short ribs were delicious. Perfectly fried so they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and they were covered in a delectable salt, pepper, garlic, and onion topping. (chef's kiss) The Singapore Noodles were a healthy portion and OMG the meat was SO TENDER. Sorry for yelling, but I needed to make sure everyone understood. Sometimes meat can be overcooked slightly and a little chewy, but they have perfected the art of meat here! The Spicy Tom Yum Noodle Soup was brimming with ingredients and was massive! The combination is their house mix of meats and seafood. Again, the meat was INCREDIBLY TENDER! The seafood was plentiful and also cooked to perfection. I was able to stop myself from stuffing it all into my face so I could wrap up a third of it for future me. I found both dishes to be decently spicy and the server let me know that both were level 1 spicy so I'll definitely kick it up a notch next time I'm back. I think the husb will happily stay at level 1 . The chefs come from Hong Kong and we gave our compliments to the chef over the short wall separating the kitchen from the dining area. This place is now a must-stop for us when we drive from London to the North and it should be for you too!

There are three steps when ordering -- choosing your noodles (or rice), topping and sauce. Noodles vary from the traditional Japanese ramen (wheat noodles), Udon (thicker wheat noodles), or perhaps a classic Chiense Dan Meen (egg wheat noodles). The toppings selection varies with Wofon special (selection of meats, prawn, roast pork), mixed seafood, or roast duck, for example. And lastly, the sauces. Selection can be Chinese Szechuan spicy, curry, or Japanese teriyaki. What I love about Wofon (aside from their amazing cheap prices) is that there is such a plethora of selection choices. You can order soup noodles one day, mixing noodles another, mixing rice, or wok fried rice. The selections are completely endless! I also strongly recommend the spare ribs with barbecued sauce as a starter. And the banana with vanilla ice cream as a dessert. And for £2.50, you can't beat the price. Enjoy!

    We heard several good recommendations about this restaurant from staff at a local hotel. As we…read moreapproached we could see lively bustle and banter from within, amidst the soft light was a busy restaurant teeming with conversations and smiles. As we entered to the restaurant, we were shown to our seats by the most friendly of staff, who took our coats, before we settled.. I think we were extremely lucky to get seated in all honesty as most of the tables were pre-booked. So, we sat down to enjoy our meal, the service was excellent, i have never had my needs anticipated in so many ways. The staff new the menu and could recommend the food. And there was a synergy between the servers, yes we had more than one it seemed, a warmness and a genuine interest in your happiness. Everyone one of the servers smiled! The Penne Arrabbiata was extremely tasty but a bit on he mild side in terms of tasting the chilli's, though still very good you could taste the use of fresh ingredients. The Crème brûlée was amazing, I haven't seen it done right in many a restaurant I have been too, but this one done to perfection. The coffee, was fabulous, though at this point in the night it was kind of expected. The only downside I could possibly think of , that to be honest doesn't denigrate the experience in anyway, was the bathroom, though it was clean and well tended. A most wonderful experience, if I am ever back in Stratford upon Avon I certainly will book to ensure I get to taste the delightful ambiance of Sorrento's again.

We both went for the same starters. Butterflied King Prawns in garlic. These were simply the best succulent King Prawns I have eaten in such a long time. Seriously. My Pa went for Cannelloni with ricotta and spinach and thought it wonderful. I went for the Lobster and seafood linguine special. It came with King Prawns but of the variety I'd expect which tend to be disappointing.The Lobster wasn't that extraordinary either. The atmosphere is okay but I'm sure in the evening and at weekends the place feels more lively. We asked for some pieces of bread to soak up the juices of the starters and found we got charged £2 something which I thought was somewhat steep for a couple of pieces of bread but they removed the charge without complaint so good on them for that. House wine is fine.
