After using their fish and chip shop and finding it pretty good (for the area!), I've tried the chinese 3 times now, and each time the food has been pretty terrible. I've had to wait for anyone to come and serve me each time at the counter, and each time the staff have walked away mid order to answer the phone.
The food has been packed full of MSG, tasted terrible and been cooked awfully. I've given them 3 tries but won't be again.

Great takeaway
Only eaten in the restaurant once or twice, but have used Nepalese Tandoori for delivery regularly for the last ten years without ever having any problems. The food is consistently good quality, hot and arrives in good time, and always has some extra poppodums or pickles in there. The staff are always very friendly on the phone and have never got an order wrong - and also send us a greta christmas card each year!

Highly reccomended for lazy nights in!

Greatest crab sandwich!
Having noticed the sign for the Waterfront Cafe outside their sister Deli in Woodbridge town centre, I headed here with my Mum on a suprisingly sunny september day.

You can't drive all the way down to the cafe, but its a slow 5 minute wander from the large station car park, and we were lucky that an outside table was vacated just as we arrived. Its next door to the tide mill, and has lovely views out over the river and boats. The table next to us had their two small (very well behaved) dogs with them, and they do have a dog friendly policy, with a water bowl provided for them.

Th plan was for a quick lunch time snack, so I ordered their fresh crab sandwich, with an organic green side salad, and my Mum ordered a peeled prawn sandwich. Both sandwiches were wonderful.. obviously very fresh crab and prawns, with just a little hint of mayo and delicious whole grain bread. My salad was on of the best I have ever had - they grow their own leaves, and the variety was wonderful, and dressed with just a tiny amount of olive oil and balsamic vinigar.

The service was very friendly relaxed - so relaxed in fact that even though there was an obvious need for our sought after outside table we were never rushed, and 45 minutes later found ourselves ordering a desert! My summer fruit crumble with ice cream was close to perfect - plenty of crumble and a lovely variety of fruits. Mum had brioche bread and butter pudding and said it was the best she had ever had (outside of her own, ofcourse!).

I can't wait to return. The menu was full of fresh local produce (sardines on toast, lobster etc), simply prepared to make the most of their flavours.

Relaxed fun dining
A sensibly priced Japanese restaurant, who's food is satisfyingly good. I've had a great time everyt ime I have visited.

Staff seem happy to let you sit and just eat, once lunch time with friends we stayed 3 hours with no cares from the staff.

Sushi can be slightly hit and miss on its freshness, but it has a good selection, and I've always enjoyed the Bento Boxes. Also has a good vegetarian selection which my veggie husband was very pleased about.

I love the sunken seating at the back - tatami style without the pain! Upstairs is a party room, but never used that.

Fantastic veggie food
Slightly hard to find veggie restaurant on Goldhawk Rd, strangely with cow heads adorning the outside.

I've been eating here for 10 years, and the quality is just as good as the first time. The food is imaginitive and perfectly cooked, bringing some real interest to veggie food which even the confirmed carnivores I have dragged there have loved.
The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the downstairs room is perfect for a group of friends to eat and laugh together. And the crayons on the table keep even the most bored husband occupied.

BYO alcohol helps keep the price down, and if you run out there is an off license just over the road.

The portions at first look appear small, but you will find them all very suprisingly filling - I blame the large plates!

We generally pay around £20ish a head for 3 courses.

Great day out
The new face lift at the London Transport Museum has certainly given the place a whole new light - literally. No longer dark and claustrophobic but open and light and easy to find your away around.

Visiting on a Sunday during half term, there were alot of kids there, but it never felt overly packed, or even too noisy. Spread over aground floor and two mezzanine style floors, the noise gets lost in the height, and lots of specialist kiddy areas seemed to keep small children occupied and out of the way.

The cafe, whilst possibly a bit small, was well priced, and the chips, as I seem to be obsessed by, were amazing! They were chips as I remember them from my childhood, made with real potatoes and obviously twice fried. Heaven!
