Want to experience a different range of Chinese dishes?

BBQ Village has a very extensive menu, including many vegetarian and vegan dishes that you will be unlikely to come across elsewhere. It’s also incredibly reasonably priced – a large range of starters on sticks for £1. I think there was only one vegan dish although that was delicious – spicy potato slices – 3 good sized slices coated with cumin seeds and chilli, barbecued till crisp on the outside – really unusual and very tasty.

For my main course I had one of the best tofu dishes I’ve ever had in a Chinese restaurant - I believe it was called sizzling bean curd with peppers – they didn’t have any takeaway leaflets so I can’t verify the names. I had a shredded potato dish instead of rice, and one of the several Chinese greens dishes; my favourite ong choi.

I could have returned to this restaurant five or six times and had different dishes each day. Because I arrived quite late and had an early start the next day, I didn’t really check the meat or fish dishes but the restaurant was quite full – 80% Chinese customers – and most had ordered non-vegetarian dishes. With over 100 to choose from, there’d be something for everyone. I didn’t have the time to check how ethical the non-vegetarian dishes were.

Cost – for three very large servings, plus starter, plus 2 drinks - £26. I dined off what I took away for 2 days! £30 would buy enough food and drink for 2 people. Service – very friendly and helpful staff (checked with chef to ensure my choices were vegan). Recommendation – make an evening of it and book to see an art film at the Electric - the oldest working cinema a few doors away at No 49, and finish the evening off by ordering a selection of different dishes from your norm at the BBQ Village at No 55.
