The staff were welcoming and the restaurant seemed to have a nice atmosphere with quite a few people in so things were looking promising.

I ordered a sweet and sour chicken, vegetable fried rice and pork with vegetables for dinner and a nice glass of Californian White Zinfandel to go with it.

It took around 20 minutes for the first dish to arrive which turned out to be the Pork. However after 5 minutes no other dishes had been brought to me so I grabbed a member f staff and as it happened just as I did my food was brought over, panic over!

I was dining alone (never a great thing!) and suddenly I looked like Mr Greedy as my table was covered in enough food for two hungry people. Still it all looked great and thankfully tasted beautiful.

The staff became more attentive I felt after I had pulled them up on only being served half my dinner and they asked me at least three times during my meal if everything was ok.

All in all a great meal at a very reasonable £18 including 2 glasses of wine so I recommend the Orchid.
