"Absolutely amazing, what a turnout from the local residents and working community. We knew it would be busy but we never expected to cause traffic congestions or draw such big crowds. I'm so pleased so many people turned up to support Chop & Wok and I would like to say a big thank you to everyone for attending that day and I hope that the residents of Shirley were not disrupted too much with the surge in traffic and footfall."
