Beijing Restaurant

Head down to the High Street in Horsell and you'll find Beijing Restaurant doing what it does best: straightforward, well-executed Cantonese dishes without any pretension. The menu reads like a greatest hits of what you actually want to eat—crispy duck, prawn toast, proper fried rice that doesn't taste like it's been sitting under a heat lamp. It's the kind of place where you can tell the kitchen knows what it's doing, and regulars clearly have their go-to orders memorised. The room itself is unpretentious, the sort of spot where you're just as likely to see families tucking into dim sum as you are couples on a casual night out.
