    Compass Rose used to be a pub and has been turned into a Chinese Restaurant. The tables and chairs were not the best but the food and service made up for it. The food was really good and the service was very good as well. All in a very pleasant evening with good friends and good food.

    We had a fantastic experience here, celebrating with friends before Christmas. The staff were incredibly friendly, always quick and ready to help, checking in regularly to ensure everything met our standards. The food was absolutely delicious and definitely value for money, and the mint chocolate at the end was a lovely touch. The room was nicely decorated with music in the background that was not too loud we couldn’t hear each other, but not too quiet we couldn’t hear the songs. This was our first time at the restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Will definitely be coming back again in the new year!

    This was our first visit the the restaurant. My first impression on going through the door was slight disappointment as I expected it to look very different from when it was previously the pub. However the food was amazing every single thing we ordered was gorgeous and my husband is very picky S not many decent Chinese restaurants/takeaways around. The service was excellent the two girls were attentive when needed and nothing too much trouble. Will definately be goi v again.

    When we arrived there was no one to greet us , we had to look for someone , we got seated and someone came to ask us for our order of drinks , 25 mins later I had to get up and ask if someone was going to take our food order the girl Apologised and then came over the food was fantastic and service after this picked up , you should always have a greeter no matter how busy you get and why wasn’t the staff allocated to a section . This could be a reason why we wouldn’t come back the food saved you .
