Wendover Peeking Restaurant

As it was my Birthday we visited my Parents in Buckinghamshire, Whilst there we went out for dinner to a Chinese restaurant in Wendover called Wendover Peeking.

They had lots of signs up stating that they had achieved a five star rating on their environmental "Scores on the Doors" visit, this was quite nice as all of my favourite restaurants in Crawley seem to repeatedly score zero stars, the restaurant was good but there did seem to be slightly too many staff and it felt a bit over bearing at times. The food was first class however, I was slightly worried when instead of Singapore Style Special Fried Vermicelli the menu had the much more simplistic name of Spicy Noodles, however after ordering them I found that they were Singapore style and in fact some of the best I have had for a while.

And best of all, unlike the properties in the adjacent estate agents the food was not overpriced with a few reasonable set menus and a very tempting "Surprise Me" option, although we did not quite feel brave enough for this.

All you can eat Chinese

Went out for all you can eat Chinese for lunch to celebrate our first year in our house, we went to China House in Reigate (7 Holmesdale Road) which we have always enjoyed as unlike most A.Y.C.E restaurants it is not a buffet, instead you order from the menu and they bring you small portions. Anyway the real event wasn't the fact that they have, in my opinion, the best salt and pepper squid, or that they have really good Singapore fried rice noodles. But that our daughter had her first Chinese food. Obviously all she had was a small amount of steamed dumping and some of the vegetables, as she is only 8.5 months old, but she loved it and it was adorable.

And as usual we got lots of comments on how friendly and well behaved she is, at least they can't see how naughty she is becoming at home. Her latest trick is to drop her cup on the floor whenever your not looking.

Anyway, if you are in Reigate I heartedly recommend China House, one of the few restaurants where we have never had a bad meal.
