Great takeaway food. Edit: We've been using East Essence for about 2 years and been very impressed by their food and quality. However recently they've stopped taking card payments. I only use card and haven't used cash in about 5 years. I really don't understand why they'd remove a modern and convenient payment method and force me to go a mile away to get old-fashioned cash. There are other Chinese restaurants nearby who take cards, so I guess I'll be using these from now on.

We stumbled across this restaurant on a rainy evening. The menu is very varied and the dishes served are very generous and good. The service is fast and efficient.
