The Vineyard has been under new management since March 2023 so we thought we'd give it a try We went for a family meal for eight people on 17 April. We were greeted and shown to a round table as I had requested. As we had a lot of catching up to do, we were quite slow at placing our order, but at no time did we feel hurried. We settled on 3 of the sharing platter starters with some salt and pepper chicken wings as well. All items were beautifully cooked and very tasty and nothing went back into the kitchen. We had a variety of main courses including; Sweet and sour chicken, tofu and pork, chicken chow main, chicken curry with a variety of rice dishes. The portions were very generous and again it was very tasty. The service was excellent with additional drinks ordered without us feeling hassled. All in all it was a great night with all of us complementing the food and the service and it came in at a good price of around £25 per head for two courses, coffees and drinks. We will definitely...

Well, something has changed, this WAS a very good restaurant for a meal, but since my last review, the quality and flavour of the food has gone down dramatically, and the range of meals has reduced as well.

Visited here for a family dinner on a Saturday evening, and I was most impressed with the food and the level of service. Most definitely worth a visit if you love Chinese food. All very well presented and...
Read moreA seeming rare quantity nowadays, a Chinese/Cantonese that is actually a restaurant and not just a takeaway. Food was very nice, typical fare. Unusually, we plumped for a set menu as it had excellent variety and very generous portions for £25 per person; starters of spring rolls, sesame prawn toast, wontons, spare ribs, satay chicken skewers, 'sea weed' and duck pancakes, followed by mains of sizzling black bean beef, king prawns and cashew nuts, chicken satay, pork sweet and sour accompanied with a special fried rice. Staff were pleasant, helpful and attentive. Decor is nothing to write home about and a bit old fashioned, but it was clean and tidy. The only real issue was that it was a little bit too cold to be comfortable to sit in a reasonably thick polo shirt, so you might want to...
