What AstirGrob doesn't like about Water Margin:
Very disappointing meal completely spoilt by the huge amount of salt, it was a brine solution. I think it may have been quite good as the vegetables etc were fresh but I am afraid it was inedible View all feedback. What pantonm likes about Water Margin:
We tried a takeaway from Water Margin. I have to say it’s the best Chinese we have had in Tunbridge Wells. Tasty food and large portions. Won’t bother with the others as no where near as good, and we’ve tried them all. View all feedback.
