After reading the reviews we had mixed expectations. On arrival we were greeted warmly. As a party of 3 we were seated quickly and a drinks order given. Our order was taken by young lady with a warm welcome and lovely smile. Our starters, main meals were delicious ( Singapore vermicelli noodles especially delicious). Overall it's worth a visit despite the negative reviews. ENJOY
Lovely food and great service but it’s terribly expensive for a takeaway meal the restaurant is dreadfully rundown and the owners need to spend some cash to bring it back to life. It’s so depressing and cold and looks like it could do with a blinking good clean! Also, the owners needs to stop kids on iPads watching tv and people on video calls in the restaurant. For god sake, some of us go out to escape this behaviour. Just eat your Chinese and forget about technology for 10 minutes!!! No draught beer or other drinks left, only option was the bottles than cost a lot more for a lot less drink. The waitresses were completely honest and upfront and said they have run out and don’t take notice of the levels. So it’s bottles only. Money making scheme that! I don’t like being ripped off….£4 for a 330ml beer! This place needs to get its act together and stop thinking it’s acceptable to just bob along ripping customers off.
Good meal, good friends and the staff were lovely. 10% service charge added at the end ?? There was a group of us so elected not to pay it. It apparently goes towards paying wages....surely the responsibility of the owners.
The Water Margin is one of our 'go to' restaurants in Driffield. You are always made welcome, and our visit yesterday was no exception. Jeanette was in very good form, and the staff were very engaging and made our meal incredible fun. The food was first class as always, and the Sunlik slipped down a treat. Another pleasant dining experience, thank you.
Fantastic meal yet again. I came here 3 years ago and tonight I've had exactly the same friendly service from the staff and lovely meal
