We love Lychee Oriental.  Is it the excellent food? the stylish interior? or the cheeky smile of Jimmy Lee? We don’t know but we love it.  Jimmy was a contestant on Great British Menu and his menu is a mix of traditional and modern fusion dishes.  Well worth a visit.

Friends Chinese Cafe on High Street is one is you fancy a casual get together.   Drawing a really diverse crowd of patrons, their lunchtime deal of two courses for £5.50 is a real winner.
