About Dragon Pearl

Dragon Pearl is a large Chinese restaurant located on the first floor of a corner building in the centre of town. The restaurant has large windows overlooking the parish church, and the foyer features a fish tank, reminiscent of restaurants in the Far East. The menu offers a variety of dishes, including a mixed vegetarian starter for three people (£9.90 per person) featuring spring rolls, samosas, "vegetarian chicken" skewers (made of tofu), deep-fried onion rings, and deep-fried seaweed. For the main course, diners can choose from dishes like stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts or stir-fried tofu with cashew nuts, served with a portion of stir-fried vegetables. While the food was found to be perfectly edible, some diners felt it was rather bland, which was surprising for Chinese cuisine. The overall bill, including drinks and service, came to £30 per person, which was considered good value. The service was described as efficient and friendly, and the restaurant is a favourite of a local friend. Future visitors may want to try the spicier or sweet and sour options.
