"We last came here in February of 2022. A spur of the moment choice which we were very thankful for. We came this time, on a Sunday evening for a friend's birthday. I'd booked a table weeks ago, but, thankfully, the restaurant was very quiet. It had been a very warm summers day and we were all very grateful for the air con! We'd already decided to have the mixed platter of starters, so we all had just one item of each. This was priced at £8.50 per head. In hindsight, we'd order differently next time. We all agreed that the star of the platter was the prawn toast. Thick bread topped with very meaty prawns, and very thickly covered unlike a lot of places. We all agreed that was the best starter. We all ordered different mains, I had the sweet and sour king prawns, others had shredded beef, honey and garlic chicken, sweet and sour chicken and char sui pork (I think). We also ordered sides of plain noodles (with onion and bean sprouts) and egg fried rice. The portions were very fresh, plentiful, and arrived quickly. There were left overs (non of us like food waste), so these were boxed up for us to take home. The service, well, what a character Stanley is! Lovely chap, affable and charming. We were served by his daughter too. Very polite and charming, not invasive, just right. It was a perfect evening at Stanley's. The only off putting thing is the buckets of cigarette ends at the door from the car park. That area just needs a bit of a tidy up. The interior of the restaurant is lovely but that's the only thing that lets this fantastic Chinese down."
