we have been using the happiness garden for 8 or 9 years now untill last year it was once or twice a month, then things started to go downhill a bit, after one particularly bad meal we stayed away for about 9 months, we decided to bite the bullet yesterday and booked a table, we arrived only to be told the table wasnt available !!! could we wait outside or in the pub for half an hour, when i said id rather forget it, the people who had just put their forks down were presented with their bill, and practically shunted out of the door. The table had a clean slip cloth put on a couple of napkins thrown down, no cutlery or glasses placed. It then took 15 minutes to place the starter order which took another 30 minutes to arrive, were presented on a tea plate, this was just the start of a dreadfull meal, the quality of ingredients of the food was very very poor, the service was attrocious with 76 covers being served and only 2 waitresses on duty, and the manager doing his smoozing around one or two regulars, full of excuses about being very busy (sorry but that doesnt wash when we have been there on far busier evenings and had good service)
we finally got our main course an hour and fifty minutes after sitting down, the poor couple with two young children sat behind us told me theirs had taken three hours by which time both kiddies were fast asleep, so all in all dave your happy garden seems to have wilted beyond recognition. What used to be a good cheap meal has now become an over priced totally unenjoyable experience

Best Chinese Restaurant 6th April 2009

The best chinese restaurant I have ever known - discovered this restaurant 8 years ago and have been holding all major celebrations here ever since.

The owner Dave is wonderful and knows all of his regulars really well.

They also catered for my Dad's 50th Birthday and put on a really great party!
