I often don't like Chinese food (too sweet, too oily, but I think that's because it's often done badly). I did, however, have an incredible meal at Bar Shu recently (a friend who spent a long time in China said it was her favourite, I can see why). The fish fragrant aubergines, potato slivers with chilli's and gong bao prawns were all revelatory. If they or anyone else as good did deliveries I'd be in big trouble.


Not tried Silk Road, but keep hearing good things.

Question - do Silk Road do take away or delivery? A lot of people have been saying it's hard to get a table after their recent award from the observer (best cheap eat 2014), and I was unsure if a cheeky delivery might be an alternative!!

They do take away, collection only, but (as far as I've heard them say to people who ask for a take away menu) you need to know the menu as they don't run as a take away.


The food is, to a dish, spectacular. None of this msg, sugar filled Anglo Chinese food and all beautifully spiced xingian blow your head off cuisine.


Cumin spiced lamb with hand pulled noodles and middle plate chicken are amazing. The cucumber, three sprout salad and aubergine all travel very well.


Enjoy!

    • Trump changes his mind as often as the clock ticks. The man is an egotistical buffoon, similar in ways to Starmer, another egotistical, do as I say, not as I do, wedged to the hilt hypocrite who still thinks he's Head of the DPP not the first minister.   Certainly don't want beef from the US, it'll hurt our own beef production farmers, revered around the world as the very best with the quality of British and especially prime Angus Scotch Beef.  Just don't export to the US and only import from there what is essentially necessary. 
    • The deal with America is currently being announced Is it a good one for us or have we been sold a pigs ear as a silk purse ?  Personally  as it involves Beef bring imported to the UK, I don't believe its in the public interest. Interested to see others reaction 
    • Ground nesting bees are different. They don't swarm in the same way. https://beehunterma.com/how-to-safely-get-rid-of-ground-nesting-bees/#:~:text=Using a hose%2C gently soak,labeled for ground-nesting bees. Sorry I think that might be American bees. But so far as I can see the method for UK bees with water would be the same. It seems the most humane way, as it just encourages them to relocate. I had a nest of white tailed bumble bees in my garden last year. It was fascinating watching them go in and out of the ground.   But then I didn't need to put a shed over them!
    • If it's a bumble bee nest they won't be interested. But they are an important part of the local ecology. I don't know whether bumbe bee nest can be transferred readily. But they shouldn't be destroyed.
