For those who enjoy good, tasty, fresh Chinese food served by polite and friendly staff at a good price you will have to go a long way to beat the Princess Garden.

For an all-in price of £13.95 you can eat as much as you like from the main menu (drinks and desserts are not included).

The menu is extremely varied and includes from basic sweet and sour dishes to more exotic items such as deep fried scallops with sauce and 'Tiger Whiskers'.

I've never seen so many starters on a menu and there is no limit to what you can have.

Most 'eat as much as you like' restaurants tend to begrudge you wanting more. Not here, you are usually asked if you want more!

They sell a nice drop of Chinese beer and the wine list is also quite good, with reasonably priced house wines (Cabernet Sauvignon not Vin d'table).

The host, Sam Yip, and his staff are extremely friendly people who seem to actually enjoy serving you.

The Princess Garden is in its second year now and I've lost count how many times me, my family and friends have been there.

All in all it's excellent value and excellent quality. Go there!
