"We have dined at the Straw Hat a number of times over the years I have always enjoyed my evening there (even if I have always thought it was over priced for the quality and portion of food) However, since re opening since Covid it’s not the best experience. They seem to have taken away all the decor and curtains and everything that made it look and feel like a Chinese restaurant. In my opinion, it felt like I was in a school hall with the lights on. It all felt (dare I say) too sanitary! The food was nice as per usual, although there seemed to be a gaggle of angry takeaway customers that waited around an hour for their collection so that was distracting. Overall, I don’t think the dining experience is as it once was and I certainly would avoid a takeaway from here. It’s a real shame but I wouldn’t recommend or return at the moment."

We often have a takeaway. Consistently excellent food. We just love it. Hot, tasty and good portions. We’ve tried other place on holiday etc but we don’t think you can beat Peking Palace.

Never again this was the first time we have been food was cold when it arrived after waiting 40 minutes they was doing takeaway and not bothered about us sitting down the price was crazy plus service charge would never go back and would never recommend.

Very friendly staff and the food was delicious! As the restaurant isn’t very big you get waited on very well and don’t have to wait for anything. We went for an early dinner as we had our 6 year old with us. They were so lovely with her and she also had a great time.

This restaurant is overpriced for the simple dishes they serve. The staff is unfriendly and unaccommodating, the dining room is cold and lacks any atmosphere. The potholes in the parking lot are just as terrible as the surrounding roads. I will not be coming back here again.

Wonderful restaurant This restaurant is the best Asian restaurant bar none. We are so lucky to have it situated near where we live. It’s wonderful for special occasions or just a quick meal. We had the filler beef in Cantonese sauce, chicken noodles and chicken satay. For dessert we had toffee apples and ice. Team. So delicious!! Make a point of visiting, you won’t be disappointed. We have been coming for over A16 years and every time it’s a treat.

I experienced incredibly poor service at this restaurant. Despite being asked to wear a mask due to a cough, I was treated rudely by the staff. We were not offered drink refills, our order was incorrect, and the staff was unfriendly. They did not check on us or ask if we needed anything during our meal. We were rushed through our meal, not offered coffee or hot drinks, and hit with a hefty 10% service charge. Overall, it was a terrible experience and I would not recommend this restaurant to others.

We hadn’t visited for a long time and were excited to be able to get a reservation for a Friday night ! When we arrived only a couple of tables full and couldn’t believe despite being minus 3 outside there was no heating the radiators were cold … some electric fans but nothing powerful enough to heat the place … never have I dined anywhere so cold … in hindsight should have left and gone elsewhere … Food was excellent I have to say but not a pleasant experience as just so cold wo t be returning anytime soon sadly

This restaurant offers a friendly casual yet elegant atmosphere, with attentive and enjoyable staff providing excellent service. The food is delicious, high quality, and fresh. There are plenty of options to choose from, and the staff are helpful when it comes to deciding on portion sizes. The background music is calming, and the restaurant is clean and well-maintained. It is suitable for all age groups, both large and small. There is ample parking available, although the car park does have some potholes. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying dining experience.

As the restaurant is not open early in the week they ask you to leave a message on their answerphone. They ask you to leave your details and will het back to you to confirm your booking… I waited.. nothing! Friday evening I called them and spoke to a most unhelpful individual telling me I had no booking and when questioned as to why I never received a call back… not interested. She said anyway there’s a 2 week waiting list!! I was told I could have a table at 6 pm instead of my original booking of 730 …no thank you… and no thank you in the future . Hope the food is better than the attitude..
