    Bloody excellent Chinese in a beautiful little village. Really really tasty! Definitely up there with one of my favourites.

    Kar Ling Kwong would have to be one of my favourite restaurants…read more Traditional Hong Kong Chinese food, its been here since 1964. The owner and manager is still involved in the daily running of the restaurant and is often the friendly welcoming host that greets you at the door. This is not your run of the mill Chinese restaurant, everything about the place, screams class. They have proper linen, good quality crockery and cutlery. The staff are extremely smart and professional. They will even teach novices, how to use chop sticks Cutlery is available. The environment has recently had a make-over and is clean and well decorated. The oriental theme is very gently done. Although, they can seat approx 100+ people at any given time, the restaurant has several smaller areas making for a more intimate experience, you can ask for to be seated in these areas when you book. (Booking not always necessary, but to avoid disappointment) The menu holds no surprises, however, the delivery is wonderful mouthwatering, delicious food, prepared with care, skill and knowledge. This is high-end eating. The bill is not a surprise either - a 3 course meal for 2, with drinks cost on average £40-£50. And they do specials! 2-4-1 on the set menu. The facilities are clean and well presented. Unfortunately, although the restaurant is largely, wheelchair accessible, the facilities are not. I can't BIG UP this place enough!

    My husband and I have been eating at the Kar Ling Kwong for over 30 years so you might expect this…read moreto be an excellent review. Unfortunately it's not based on the appalling service we received as a party of 4 on 3rd February 2018`. The restaurant was busy, which we knew at the time we booked but our booking WAS taken so we should have expected there would be sufficient staff to cope. But, from the time we arrived at 7.30 the service for this 'eat as much as you like' buffet was practically non-existent. By 8.30 we had only just been given our starters, by 9 we had to call the waiter over to order the duck pancakes. Once finished our used plates were just left on the table. At the same time as we had ordered the duck we also ordered 4 main dishes which did not arrive until 9.45, too late to think about ordering anything else. At £21.95 per person this is the worst value meal we've ever had. The bill arrived and annoyingly had a service charge included - admittedly this had then been deducted with a note saying 'sincere apologies'. I complained at the time and was offered a free bottle of house wine to take away with me but since we had only been drinking beers and soft drinks this offer seemed incongruous to say the least. We were left thoroughly embarrassed as we had suggested the Kar Ling Kwong to our friends. I later wrote twice to the proprietor assuming I might receive an apology but was not even given the courtesy of a response. We are a large family of 10 adults who previously visited the restaurant often but have decided we will not be returning in the future as a restaurant which does not value its customers does not deserve their money. What a shame!
