Over 20 years ago the mention of Peking and Sichuan cuisine to the residents of Radlett may have evoked a lukewarm response, but it was then that Tim Lai's unflinching commitment to serve authentic Chinese cuisine was quite evident and that explains the longevity of Tim's Table.

Those who are already familiar with this kind of cooking will be happy to know that there is a remarkable variety in the menu with starters of griddle fried pork dumplings, bang bang chicken and sesame prawn toast. There is an occasional foray into Thailand with pandan leaf chicken and fried bean curd, but the rest of the menu is well within the Chinese shores. Think sizzling beef fillet in black pepper sauce and drunken fish slices in a Chinese rice wine sauce.

Who would not like a barbecued honey roasted pork or crispy aromatic duck to be enjoyed within the confines of your home? Their takeaway menu is definitely worth exploring.
