Ascoughs in Market Harborough Link Removed
It's superb. We've been going there for several years and have never had a single complaint about anything. I still can't understand how they manage to produce the food they do for the prices they charge.
Thanks for these tips. We live about 8 miles north of Market Harborough, so we will certainly give Ainscoughs a try. Not sure why we haven't to date. Our favourites are Hans chinese restaurant in Market Harborough and Johns House in Mountsorrel nr. Loughborough.

Magpie Cafe Whitby , no need to ask which dish !
Hope they get back up n running soon !
Been in so many bars in HK that you may well be right. Best meal was with our manager there and his family in a really ropey five table place with plastic chairs and Formica tables. Cantonese at its best. Worst was an extremely expensive meal in Shanghai. Greasy and disgusting - worse than something out of Burger Dung or MacPukesThis thread STILL running? Time to reserect a couple from the Distant past then.
For Dim Sum, the main street in Hong Kong IS from memory, is either Queen street OR, Victoria Street.
The Street behind, is either Queen st or Victoria st., OK with me so far? It's the street behind that is the location of this Chinese restaurant.
We entered, the noise was horrific! louder than an unsilenced Lawn Mower!, We found a spot, Waiter with a grubby tea towel over his shoulder came gave us a couple of chop sticks, then this lady came with a trolley, we picked what we wanted, which she gave us, then dumped 2 bowls full of noodles, which we presumed correctly was to use to bulk out our meal.
Calling the Waiter over I asked if we could have a fork. Why? Well because we were westerners ??? No worries said he taking a pair of scissors from his back pocket and proceeded to chop up the noodles in small pieces enough for us to handle with Chopsticks.
We just broke up with laughter. It was the best Chinese meal we had up to that time, and when it came to pay, he just houssed us out the door. Go Go no pay You Go !
And another memorable meal, but for all the wrong reasons.
"The Dragon Bar"( @DuxDeluxe could very well have been there!) It was a "nightclub/restaurant" well know to seamen, so a five star rough stuff place, upstairs in an old Colonial style building. Which was built when there was no such thing as Air Conditioning, so the ceiling height was in the region of 15 feet about 4metres or so high.
There was a sort of Disco thingee going on, my buddies and I had a meal, we were sitting relaxing, drinking the local fire water, this young Chinese girl came to our table, sat on my lap!!! and asked if I wanted to dance. Righto! oft we go!
Next thing these 2 heavies grabbed her, all sorts of foreign stuff being shouted, Hang on! WTF! Who are you two ?
I held my own till the Stairwell, my feet left the top stair and my head connected on the doormat at the bottom. I found out later the Chinese girl was the Bosses Girlfriend, whenever she was p***ed off with him she picked on some unsuspecting mug (ie ME!) he always got jealous and sent in the heavies!
Of course I stood in the street "YAH! YA MUGS! I been thrown out of better places than this!" kind of thing, then laughed all the way back to the ship in a taxi!
Can't remember the Meal! but I can remember how rough that bloody mat was !!
