Restaurant 88

Great choice of food and a really helpful member of staff who suggested we were ordering too much and could order more later if we still wanted to. She was right! This restaurant sits in the space vacated by the Jade and is much more modernised. They clearly do a roaring trade in takeaways (something I took advantage of a week after our physical visit). Sadly, my friends and I were the only eat-in customers on a Friday evening. Great value for the food and the house wine was way above average taste for a very reasonable price. Parking: A couple of free spaces outside, but not many.

What a beautiful dining experience. Wendy was extremely welcoming to the smallish 88 Restaurant, and showed us to a warm comfy table. The black and white decor is very tasteful, well lit, and with attractive splashes of red to break it up. The tables were laid properly with cloth covers and napkins. The menu is extensive, and our mains of Sechuan prawns and duck in orange sauce were perfectly cooked and presented. Beer and an excellent bottle of Spanish red were also consumed. Wendy was a delight to talk to, and very helpful in explaining about the food. We only need a side of chow mein to complete our dinner and leave us satisfied. The chef, Johnny, came out to say hello and they are a delightful hard working couple. We lingered over excellent coffee and liqueurs, and left with a promise to return soon. Thank you Wendy and Johnny. Our latest visit, some weeks later was equally pleasant. This time we were 4 adults with a small child. Nothing was too much trouble for Wendy and we were soon comfortably eating our delicious meal. Our mains choices of 2 beef and 2 duck dishes were perfect, with dumplings, rice and chips for the little one. Thank you again Wendy and Johnny.
