Where do I start....if you're gluten free go to Jade Fountain! If youre not, then still go to Jade Fountain! They offer the main menu, along with a taster menu (basically order what you like for £24-26pp). There is a huge variety of starters, soups, mains, noodles and crispy duck is included. Focusing on the gluten free menu - i had a choice of two full pages and every dish was a standout. There was not a single thing I could complain about. We had duck, crispy lamb, five spice prawns and ribs to start. You get a great portion size, even on the tasting menu and the wait wasnt long but enough to know its all being cooked to order. Every starter was delicious, crispy, and the prawns were so good! Mains were beef in black bean, king prawns with Chinese veg, kung pao chicken....what a delight. Loads of beef, loads of prawns and both my husband and I were so happy with it all. Finally a huge shout out for making a rice noodle chow mein GF which tasted just like the real thing.. I could have cried. It was sweet, smoky, that perfect char and so good I ate it all to myself (no shame!) This restaurant needs to be full every night its so good! Please go and don't let this great restaurant (offering a huge GF menu) go to waste!

We have been going to the Jade Fountain for almost 20 years and I realised that I hadn't commented on their great food in a long time. They have found their stride again with great clear flavours and lovely vegetables in all their dishes. I particularly like the aubergine in black bean that exemplifies the great flavours in the aubergine as the centerpiece accompanied by a great range of vegetables to give it texture. My wife's favourite is the Sechuan beef which has just the right amount of spice. I can highly recommend going there or take away.

We have been to the restaurant a number of times. The food is excellent and we particularly like the taster menu which has loads of choice. We always receive a warm welcome and the service is good.
