We went to the Water Margin over the weekend as we were staying at the nearby Staverton Park hotel and didnt fancy eating at the hotel.
Let me just say the food was fantastic, some of the best chinese food I've had in a long time!
The service however kind of let it down, we arrived on Sunday evening and looked at the menu on the wall outside, you can have a choice of anything off the menu or go for the Buffet option (which isnt really a true buffet where you help yourself but where the food gets brought out to you) we were sat at a table and the drinks order taken (1 large bottle of mineral water and 2 bottles of Tsingtao beer) we were given the menus, when we asked about the buffet the waitress pretty much rolled her eyes and tutted and took the menus as There is a different menu for the buffet (like we were supposed to know that!)
The drinks came to the table, the mineral water bottle had been opened away from the table and drinks poured from bottles (maybe just me being picky but if I order mineral water I prefer to see a sealed bottle come to the table so I know its not tap water)
We ordered several dishes and each time the waitress came to the table it was like we were really spoiling her evening by being there.
As I say, the food itself was very very good and is obviously popular as a takeaway as we noticed quite a few bags of food being collected.
Go for the food and not for the service
