Chinese food delivery service. (They advertise themselves as "Chinese, Oriental, Thai", but the only Thai dishes available are red or green curries.)

A fairly good selection for a mid-range Chinese takeaway. A reasonable range of vegetable dishes (£3.50-£4.25 each) such as szechuan hot and spicy aubergine, sea spiced mixed vegetables, chinese greens with garlic - no beancurd dishes are sold individually though. Unusually, they offer five lamb dishes, including "lamb fillet in sacha sauce chiew chow style". No idea what that is. Meat and fish main courses range from £4.50 (shrimp chop suey) to £6.25 (most of the prawn dishes).

The individual dinner boxes are good value - £4.95 for non-vegetarian and £4.50 for vegetarian. You get a choice of dishes served in a single box with rice or noodles. The vegetarian dinner boxes feature the only appearance of beancurd on the menu - either hot and spicy tofu on rice, or braised tofu on rice or noodles, the latter being well-cooked with a good selection of vegetables, but a little bland.

We don't like the packaging. Instead of the standard plastic tubs with rigid snap-on lids, the food comes in plastic tubs with heat-sealed plastic wrap top. They're hard to get into, non-reusable, and a nuisance if you want to save some leftovers until tomorrow. Boo!
