"I,m afraid I Will not be recommending the New Dragon Inn in Swanage anytime soon with reference to what we experience. We ordered our drinks, starters and main. We cannot fault our drinks and starters, these were lovely but the main meals all went down hill from there. My Brother and his wife ordered the set dinner for two which consisted of Chicken Chop Suey, Sweet Sour Chicken Balls and Special fried rice. The chicken chop suey was good but the chicken balls were pork and the rice was egg fried rice. My husband had the beef chow mien which arrived on a cold plate, bone dry, no oil or juice and in no way was it piping hot. I order the Thai green curry chicken, something I have eaten over fifty times in many Chinese restaurants knowing that this is a relatively mild curry. One mouthful from this bowl made me choke it back up, it was unbelievably hot/over spiced and burned the back of my throat and lips, it was inedible and clearly not how it should be. We flagged all these issues with the assistant who took the rice, balls, chow mien, and tai curry away and said nothing. We could hear the conversation going on with her boss admitting her mistake with the rice and helped the chef find the chicken balls in the kitchen. The special rice and chicken balls arrived after my brother and his wife finished their chop suey which was pretty useless really and my husband and I was waiting for the assistant to come back and ask if we would like something else well, this did not happen, ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING! We left our table to pay for the drinks and the food we had eaten and the assistant advised there was no charge for the rice, REALLY!, I should think not but then I noticed on the receipt that she had also charged us for the curry and chow mien. I questioned this and finally got her to take this off the bill, she took the chow mien off but she insisted payment for the curry because I tasted it. WHAT!, REALLY! I had enough of this by now, so my husband paid for it, and they want cash, another way to dodge the VAT man. Just to let you know peeps, watch your backs, make sure you get what you order and most of all CHECK IT.. GOOD LUCK!

The best Chinese. Went in not expecting much but they have amazing food with loads to choose from (recommend the salt and pepper box). Served by a lovely lady who let us know it was 10% off the day we went which was an extra bonus. Recommend anyone in the area to give it a try, well worth going.

It was a great price and I am excited to see what the future holds as there appears to be lots of plans in the pipeline.

We decided not to be put off by the negative reviews and have now had 2 meals from the Dragon. Both have been excellent! Under new management and worth a try. Due to location, the first we collected but the second was delivered to our home. It was a little late, but that was due to our last minute ordering at peak time on a Saturday. However, it was hot and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back, particularly as you are happy to deliver unlike others in the town. I wish the new management and team all the best for the future.
