"The menu is'nt enormous as you would find in most take aways but there's a decent choice. I ordered the crispy chicken in sweet and sour sauce. The sauce was far too spicy for my partners liking and she couldn't eat it all. I found it very hot too. I'd suggest that they put a warning on the intensity unless this dish came out different to what you would normally do. The beef, chicken and prawn fried rice could have done with the meat fried with the rice, it looked like they were cooked separately and just thrown in at the end. Prawn crackers were amazing, very nice and very fresh, the best I've ever had! The chips were delicious, nicely cooked and not the usual Chinese style chip. The curry sauce was also different to what I'm used to, a huge tray which I wasn't expecting but really tasty. I was quite disappointed with the special fried rice portion, roughly ¾ full and at the price £6.95, I would have expected a full tray. It was obvious that the place was busy with orders and there were mistakes, both in the waiting time for my food and the overcharging (I always rate my experiences on the food quality, not waiting which is lucky for you guys! Apologies were made and mistakes were quickly dealt with in a very honourable way. Considering this place is a bistro, they do a great job cooking Chinese cuisine, probably not what I'm use to but definitely worth a cruise through their menu and also other theme nights such as Mexican, Spanish tapas and pizza. I did read the reviews before I chose to order and really have to make it clear that these reviews are spot on! I cannot wait to visit again and try other dishes. This is a pet friendly bistro, I didn't know or else I'd have booked a table."

"I reserved a table for my husband and myself, as i was celebrating my birthday on the past 29th.December 2023. I wanted to eat somwhere special where i thought the food would be good. My husband and i had been previously invited by my cousin and her husband to the Wheatsheaf for lunch last September 2023. It was a saturday and the Wheatsheaf was packed. I think it might have been a bank holiday weekend. We could not get a table, but were told we might get some seats close to the bar, and we would have to order the food ourselves, which we did. We were amazed at how quickly we got our food and it was excellent !!! My husband is difficult to cater for as he has food allergies. I had a ribeye steak cooked to perfection medium rare and my husband had sirloin steak cooked to perfection very well done . My husband even congratulated the chef. I was really looking forward to my birthday evening meal, but to my dismay, it wasn't to be. We were taken to a table with no lighting, so i could not read the menu properly. We were quickly moved to a better table after asking. Another two couples came in after us and both got served quickly and they left before us. We were still waiting for an hour to be served, and it wasn't even busy !!! When it finally came, my meal was almost cold sirloin steak with king prawns in batter . I admit the prawns were nice as they were hot.I had to send the steak and chips back to be warmed up, but when it came back the sirloin steak was chewy and i did not enjoy it at all. I was not even asked how i would like my steak. We both noticed that the floor was dirty with spilt food and a table that had not been cleared up. Waiters just walked over it and ignored the table. My birthday was marred by this experience. Before all this, i was even thinking about coming back again to try something else on the menu, but i don't think i will be doing now. We were given a 20% discount as an apology for the wait, but it did not make up for the bad service and the quality of my meal."

"I went there with my boyfriend for dinner (both foreigners and on a holiday in the area). Not only have they mistreated us while taking our Personal details (Covid), but they ignored us for over half an hour by not acknowledging us and serving other costumer around our table. We saw other tables getting their drinks (all locals, white, mostly male and cisgender) and when we tried to get the waitress’s attention we got ignored.I came across the bar to talk to the waitress again so we could place the order (at this point we just wanted to get some food and a pint as it was 20:30 already and were quite hungry) but we were told to wait at the table and she would be with us in a minute.She finally came to the table and took our order (finally! We were happy we were actually having food) but two minutes later she came back telling us that kitchen was closed even though we were never been told the kitchen was about to close Upon arrival.We tried to explain to her that we’ve been waiting for 30 minutes, and that every other restaurant and pub in town was closed, that we didn’t care what they would serve us, we just wanted to eat something. She then replied without making eye contact and a very bad attitude “can’t you see how busy I am? We’re not serving food” and then just walked away from us. Bare in mind that she had just taken a good order from a table across from us 5 minutes ago.This is very sad and concerning that something like this still happens in a contra like the UK. Someone had recommended us this place and to our surprise it was demoralising to go somewhere and be treated like that. Poor management and mediocre service"
