Went on a Wednesday night and ordered the Peking duck for two people. Had heard some really good reviews about value for money but this isn't the case. When the duck came out we were quite surprised thinking how can we finish all that duck? The waiter cut the duck at the table and there was more than half of the duck left over. I had asked him if we don't finish the duck can we do takeaway so it doesn't go to waste and he said yes. Then comes the 2nd course, tiny shredded bits of duck with bean shoots and spring onion, nothing special. 3rd course was a duck broth or soup, again nothing special. At this point we were ready to leave and asked the waiter whether we can take the rest of the duck home and she replied with, "there is only the carcass left". Total rip off, we know for a fact that there was over half a duck left. The table next to us had 5 people and had the same amount of food served to them. We ended up going downstairs to leave and the manager was standing at the counter so i asked him if we were able to bring any left over duck home, thinking that maybe the waiter and waitress had misunderstood us. He said that once the 2nd course is over there is no meat left on the duck. He knew he was wrong because as we were leaving he gave us some sort of smirk. Never going back there again.
