I've only been here once, but I was impressed to find it was cheaper than my Brighton usuals, and it was probably a bit nicer. I had the crispy shredded beef (I know, hardly original), accompanied by rice and spring rolls. It all came to about £8, which is a fair bit cheaper than I'm use to in the big city. Additionally, if you're keen for a drink and can't be bothered to go to an off licence, they also sell beer, wine and cider.
