Me and Lucy went here for a cheeky little pre-theatre dinner on a (very) cold Monday. I have to…read moreconfess we didn't plan to come here, but as we walked down the road on a Monday at 5:30, it was the only place open! This is a quaint, traditional Chinese restaurant. None of the fancy frills of Aqua Eight, but, as we sat there, we honestly couldn't think of another chinese restaurant in town that is serving from a menu, rather than "buffet" style, which we're not fans of. We ate from there Peking Set Menu: £17.90pp for four starters, duck pancakes, 3 mains dishes and rice. All the food was exactly as youd expect: Rather boringly we went for old favourites: Lemon Chicken, Crispy Beef and a fried scallop dish which was fabulous. It was quiet ( we were the only ones in there, and service service was adequate but not brilliant. That said, we were off to the theatre so in all honestly we were clock watching a bit, as you can sooooo easily lose time in a restaurant. To sum up, good food, adequate service, lovely decor in the restaurant, and very basic toilets! If you fancy a Chinese without the frills, and like me, abhor buffets, you wont go wrong here.

A friend brought me here, saying its unexpectantly good food. He was right. Crispy duck as it meant…read moreto be.....chow mein lovelly. We also asked for a bit more of a kick in spice and they delivered. Food is also very reasonably priced! Now they have had e refurb, the decor is sleek and cool. The food follows suit and does not disappoint, so we are trying a take away tonight!

We had the set meal SHATIN FEAST 15.00 per person in a group of about 16, the food came out in good big portions so nothing to complain about if you are looking for volume. The service in general was mediocre with us having to ask for service to order drinks on a few occasions. The location is good no two ways about it but I am not sure if they would be busy if they were not in such a good location.

Well, I have always found Mr Wings excellent.

Staff very efficient, drinks expensive (but what restaurant isnt) and you need to book. When it gets very busy they tend to have sittings ie you could have booked for 7 pm but have to leave your table at 9 pm because another party has booked, so thats the only downside, as they do pack em in!

Great local pub with an excellent, friendly atmosphere…read more I can confirm that the monthly quiz night is a fantastic way to spend the evening. Jonny and il professore put on a great night (with plenty of good food, to boot). Highly recommended! Update: Jonny has taken over running The Swan in Woolpit, near Bury St Edmunds. A great shame, since The Shiplaunch was becoming a really great bistro pub. Will look into a few of us hiring a sharabang to go to Woolpit for the quiz later in the year. Will be interesting to see if the new proprietor of The Shiplaunch is able to maintain the high levels that Jonny and crew set. Update, June 2008: Met the new owner this week. He is just getting the catering facilities up and running and is also looking into carrying on the activities that Jonny so successfully started (incl. quiz nights and live music). Will hope to review the food soon
