    Absolutely fantastic! The pavilion is a classic Cantonese restaurant. Incredibly friendly and welcoming team, huge range of very well made food. Service and presentation both excellent. Recommended the mixed hors d'oeuvres and won ton dumpling soup.

    We had a lovely evening at The Pavilion. We came here to celebrate a birthday and the food was beautiful. Our Duck starter was cooked to perfection, not one bit of fat in the duck. Mains were good but couldn't beat the starter for us. Staff were really professional and went out of their way to serve us to the fullest.

    Food is delicious as always, and the staff are always so friendly and accommodating! Visited on a Sunday, and it was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Didn't feel rushed at all.

    The Pavilion has always been our favourite family restaurant since our first visit in 1995. The food and service has always been excellent and the bar and restaurant immaculately clean. We recently visited on Wednesday August 2nd for my daughters 21st birthday. We had the Banquet and we all thouroughly enjoyed everything about it. Thanks Michelle and your wonderful staff.

    Always enjoy visiting here. Have been visiting for almost 2 decades. Service is always warm, friendly, but professional. If you got there a lot the host Michelle, and her team, definitely gets to know you and your family and friends and shows this through her immaculate service and knowledge. Not many places offer such a personal touch. You're never left waiting or trying to catch anyone for a drink etc. Staff are very vigilant in checking in with you, but without being over bearing. The food is always delicious and plentiful and nicely paced. Not too fast but not waiting ages, either. There is also no rushing you out the door, at the end of your meal. The decor, has remained unchanged for many years, but is still clean, smart and warming. We just visited on the greyest, wettest Januray day and it was still felt cosy inside. Good range of drinks. It's a lovely place, that we've frequently enjoyed and one of the few that's not changed for the worse, over the years, but remains consistently good.

    Not what it used to be. Lack of bar and reception area is disappointing and I really don't know what to say about the photocopied menu and pen instead of a proper menu and a member of staff taking the order. COVID restrictions are long gone so this seems a lazy way out. I could live with that if the food was as good as it used to be, but it is now only average and bland and not worth the money. Service was still good.

    The pavilion Chinese restaurant has always been a great place to go eat. The staff are so friendly and the food is brilliant. All the food is served with authentic cutlery, etc, and they always ask if we are finished and would we like the next course. I suggest you don't eat during the day you go, as there is plenty. Also, if you have enough food over, they will box the rest for you to takeaway well worth going, you should book a table as some days they are full.

    This restaurant is always good, we have been going for well over 20 years. It is always very clean, the staff are well trained and very pleasant and friendly. The food is excellent, we have never been disappointed, unfortunately it is not cheap but well worth a visit especially for family get togethers and special occasions .

    Fantastic food. Great service. Very welcoming and a good friendly atmosphere. You can change food to your own specifications ie instead of having salt & pepper chicken wings, we had salt & pepper chicken balls. The staff are very accommodating like that. All in all we had a fantastic time & I can't rate it high enough.

    Large dining venue. A little out the way but worth a visit. We had separate dishes and found they were good if you were very hungry. Large so one could cater for two people. Also rice is plentiful so order wisely or you'll leave with a doggy bag. Nice food and service
