Fjool Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Stopped by Bixter hall this evening because we'd spotted a 'Chinese Takeaway' sign up. Only had a couple of quid, but fancied some spring rolls to eat on our journey. Was impressed by the really friendly folks running the takeaway. Speedy service, nice food. Best takeaway service. Ever. From the Bixter Hall.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassermaet Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 ^^^Like I said, takeaways provided by local halls are usually amazing. Not had a Chinese from anywhere but fish and chip nights are always worth it. When I was younger my granny and I used to go to Aith in the summer holidays and have fish and chips - they were always phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifi Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 ^^If I'm guessing correctly > then the Chinese Takeaway mentioned could be nothing to do with the hall itself, but the Chinese Burra boy/s who are going round the country halls. We had it for the first time recently in the Hillswick Hall and it was very well used. You could phone the hall to place your order. However, at peak time it was mobbed and your waiting time you were told on ordering was pretty well doubled. <½hr to hr> This wasn't a problem outwith peak times. We ordered at peak time and did wonder what the quality would be like since they were run off their feet, however it was very good and we'd use it again. I understand they'll be watching costs, but certainly at peak times they could perhaps have benefited from another person working dealing with the public and the phone and passing on info about extended waiting times which was a bit lacking. I think they were keeping their heads down and concentrating more on trying to get through the orders. Well done guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were just using the hall as a place to operate from. I thought it was a good idea and asked them if they were going to be attending other halls too. Only thing they told me for definite was that they'd be back in Bixter in one month's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooter Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Was at the Maryfield in Bressay last weekend. Superb as usual. Had grilled king prawns in a hot chilli sauce, it came with rice and the usual side plate of salad, also had a taste of prawns in crab sauce, which was very tasty. Finished of with a pudding of ice cream, cream and strawberries, which were much tastier than the rubbish you usually find in supermarkets. Can't wait to go back.

george Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Has anybody tried flints new grub yet Tried it last weekend and it was great! Traditional pub food, generous portions at a fantastic price. Great to have somewhere you can go for some grub before your night out or when you finish work. Highly recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khitajrah Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 We've heard that there is a Chinese on Whalsay that is the best in Shetland and we're going to test this out sometime in the coming weeks. Does anyone have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarotangel Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I went to the Maryfield on Saturday and the food was brilliant. I had Grilled Garlic Mussels, Sirloin Steak and Sticky Toffee pudding. Was glad I hadn't really eaten all day. Big portions but absolutely lovely. If I had to pick my favourite out of that it would be the mussels they were superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogling Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Went to the Scalloway Hotel for an evening meal recently- Excellent! Hot, tasty food brought very quickly, Excellent service and good value for money. {As a fussy Vegetarian, that is praise indeed! best meal out I've had here since the Vegetarian Experience at Spiggie about 5 years ago} Canna wait for an excuse to go again!
