[[Kake]], [[Nick]], and two others visited on a Friday lunchtime in April 2007. We were seated straight away and the trollies came round very quickly; we had a good selection of food on our table very soon after being ready to start choosing. The staff were careful to make sure our teacups and teapot were kept topped up at all times. We paid £63.30 (including the service charge, which they added automatically) for four hungry people, including tea but no alcohol.	Four of us visited on a Friday lunchtime (April 2007).

[[Kake]] and friends visited again on a Thursday lunchtime in May 2007; a larger group, and slightly slower teapot-tending, but again we were happy. The stand-out dish was perhaps the pork and ginger dumplings; not at all an unusual item, just very well executed. The spicy sea snails are also worth a try, if only for the novelty of it. Fried sesame-coconut dessert dumplings were also good. £13 per head this time (including service charge and tea, no alcohol).

[[Nick]] and others visited on 20 March 2008; it was quite busy (possibly because it was Maundy Thursday), but despite relegating the 6 of us to an 8 table "round the back" and up a ramp, the trolleys still continued to visit, and the teapot was well tended. £11 a head (including service charge and tea, no alcohol).
