Visited for Sunday lunch to celebrate my mother in laws 70th birthday. I had my 3 children with me (aged 9, 11 and a baby of 9 months). We ate from the buffet menu which was v reasonably priced and the staff were really friendly and did everything to make the occasion special. (In fact i had a relaxing meal whilst the staff entertained the baby!!!)

My experience here one Autumn lunchtime: the place was almost empty - only one other couple were eating that day in the large upstairs dining room. Meanwhile some of the staff sat wordlessly at another table folding napkins for the duration of our stay. We seemed to be intruding, a bit of a nuisance.
The food, a set lunchtime menu, was okay, but if that's what we'd really come for, rather than the business discussion we were having, I think we'd have been disappointed. Service was distracted and intermittent.
Now, all of this may be very unfair. We could have caught them on an off day. In the evening the place might be buzzing. The food fantastic. But we won't know, because our lunchtime experience doesn't tempt us to return. Which may be our loss, or theirs.

My husband and I usually do the take away but have been to the restaurant and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience - very Chinese with large round tables and lovely service. Delicious food! Would recommend in a heartbeat...

I like eating in at Han, but would warn people off the takeaway option: the portions are small, the food only average and it's almost twice as much as other Chinese takeaways in the town.

Although inaccessible to the disabled (on the first floor and no lift) for the able bodied it's worth the climb to reach the elegant and attractive dining room which is more classical western than Chinese. We like wine and Han has a comprehensive, well chosen selection.
The Menu is carefully thought out, with both set meals for those less familiar with Oriental food and a wide a-la-carte selection. We particularly like the extra dishes included if three or more people are dining together. Han is not cheap but I consider it fair value. I have been eating there for 17 years or so, even though it's a round trip of almost 40 miles, especially if there's a birthday or other special event. The staff are friendly and happy to give advice (although the European part-timers don't know as much as the Chinese waiters).

You enter a beautifully oriental reception room and bar at street level, then go upstairs to a pleasant dining room. There's a wide range of chinese dishes and a good selection of wines. The staff are very helpful and will offer advice on how you would like your food - not too spicy in my case. I've eaten here on several occasions and always enjoyed the experience. A good place to have a celebration meal.

After visiting this restaurant for the first time this weekend, I have to say that I am thoroughly pleased with my wife's suggestion of visiting as it was recommended to her by a colleague.
As our party of 6 entered the restaurant, we were greeted with smiles and open arms by our hostess. She then took us to our table in the restaurant upstairs which was set out in an immaculate and uniformed manor.
This set the precedent for the night that would ensue, the staff were very friendly and very helpful in guiding us through their menu. The food was cooked and presented beautifully and my wife and I both felt that the price truly reflected good value for money. We all chose the "Han Banquet" which was a set 4 course meal for around £22 and every penny was well worth spending.
We have already booked again for the New year celebrations, which, as we were told by members of the adjacent table, will truly be a night to remember.
We are all counting down the days :)
