Golden Hayes in Cannock Chase

Best chinese around. Food cooked to order so always fresh and hot. Prices very reasonable.

Had a chickencurrywas nice but had a beef curry next time beef was chewy didnt have any of it but great fast service.

Food is always the best in the area, if not the best I’ve ever had at a Cantonese restaurant anywhere. Always tasty & hot & not greasy like some restaurants can be. I recommend this place to everybody

Easily the best takeaway around. Even after moving I still head there because they're fast, polite and the food is blooming amazing! At most I've waited 15 minutes - none of the 80 minute wait for cold food at your door for me, thanks

Phoned and placed order over phone Read the items out clearly and when she read them back it was incorrect We ordered everything plain but she had not wrote down the plain chicken curry so clearly wasn’t listening Then when we collected the food it wasn’t ready When we got home and was eating the food the crispy beef was disgusting took ages to chew and totally inedible The chips were like from night before warmed up so they were disgusting the chicken curry was ok chicken was a bit rubbery but edible Was so tempted to take it back as it was for my sons 21st birthday and this is what he wanted as a take away and can honestly say I won’t be returning anytime soon will find a better place in future prices have gone up and quality of food appalling

I've been having takeaways from here for the past 15 years and it's the best Chinese in Cannock by far. Never been let down with the food.

The best Chinese around. Especially if you like salt and pepper chicken, wings or chips it's gorgeous with fresh garlic peppers and onions. Our order is always salt and pepper chicken, chicken chow mein, ribs in bbq sauce and either beef in black bean or chilli crispy shredded beef. Beautiful! I left mu purse here by accident here once and they kept it for me and put a sign in the window. Not found a Chinese nicer around the cannock area.

Had the misfortune to visit this place. To give credit where credit is due, the food was ok. The customer service however is nonexistent. For example, you do not throw your customer’s change on the counter because the phone is ringing. What would they have said if I had thrown my money at them when I paid. Disgusting behaviour. Won’t be going back.

Absolutely beautiful food has used Golden Hayes for years , but tonight the food was out of this world 🌍 Thank you x

Freshly cooked food every time, very quick service, and one of the best chicken cow meins i have ever had

The food was rank never had orange curry sauce and spicy and the chips should of been salt and pepper seasoning but they puts fresh peppers and onion on them some of it was wasn’t even cooked and even extremely grease 🤮🤮🤮

Great food, made very quickly too.

Service took an hour after I had called so 1H 30 in total, then the food was average at best! Chow mein had no flavour and crispy chicken was like a rock.

Awful Takeaway, we’ve used this Chinese a few times, foods always good, this time it was awful! Chicken Fried Rice was stone cold in places and slightly warm in others, but risky for a Rice dish! Chow Mein was flavourless and luke warm and the ribs were just awful. We collected at the time stated when we ordered, still had to wait so it should have been piping hot, they certainly weren’t waiting for us to collect.

Just shared a takeaway with 3 friends excellent food great service well done. Plenty of good food well cooked and well presented

Cash only. Good choice and quick service. Sometimes very busy but you can phone your order through for collection.

Quick Service and reasonably quick turn around. Large portion for a main, but the chicken in two seperate mains was very poor quality and virtually inedible. Wish we'd cooked ourselves.

Consistently good take away...shame no delivery

My second visit to Golden Hayes and the food is good quality and really nice. I'm looking forward to further take away meals from here in the future.

One of the best Chinese in Cannock area

Do not eat out of this restaurant unless you want food poisoning i am now in hospital for what this restaurant has done to me

Ordered Sunday having had 2 previous take aways & made a point in the the order notes of thanking them for their food & service. Wish I’d not bothered food took 1.50 hrs even though online said would be 45 mins. When chased order up was told food is on the side just waiting for a driver ( worrying ) eventually arrived 35 mins later no apologies or concept we’d waited nearly 2 hours & obviously food was poor cold & not enjoyable 😬

Great food, hot and fresh and will adjust to your taste. Collection only and cash only too.

Food was pretty poor really.... rice was claggy chicken was all fatty and grissley not very nice at all won't be going there again

Highly recommend the food is by far the best I’ve ever tried and always prepared quick but freshly cooked. Each dish I’ve ordered is to perfection and it’s so tasty. The staff are very polite and welcoming.

2nd time using these guys as not long move to the area. Highly recommended food & service is outstanding. One of the best we've ever used fantastic.

Great take away. Easy parking either at side of shop or over the road, both free. Great Superb Curry which contains mixed meats, chicken, beef, prawns. You can order it extra spicey which makes it great and tasty.

Fabulous food and great service all at a reasonable price. Any reviews you read that mention waiting for food to be delivered ignore.....Golden Hayes don't deliver its collection only so they are either updating the wrong takeaway or fibbing!

My local, been going for 20+ years, excellent

This is the best Chinese takeaway in the Cannock Area by far. We will only use Golden Hayes would not go anywhere else food is always hot and fresh

Great food, love the satay skewers, chicken chow mein and the fried rice (amongst other things). Food is always fresh and quick. My only two minor irritations are as it’s walk in or telephone order only, sometimes the phone is engaged and it takes you 13-14 tries to get through. Oh and they don’t take card. Yes there’s a cash machine at the post office 2 mins walk down the road, but it’s almost 2022 people! Get with the times!!

Have ordered from here many times this year and food has always been delivered on time and has been good!!. Ordered tonight and took 2 hours for delivery !!. Rang to see how much longer our order would take after paying £3.50 for delivery to be told they didn't know and they were busy because of the run up to Christmas!!!!! It's the 26th November or am I missing something. Eventually food was delivered and good job we noticed the delivery car as it was just left outside the door without knocking . Obviously done purposely for complaining 🙄.

Food ordered & cooked very quickly. Very tasty. Only issue being that it is cash only, so had to go to cadhpoint

Been using Golden Hayes for years , had food for 10 people for my birthday and it was delicious wouldn't use anywhere else.

Well what a disgrace I order every week sometimes 3 times but I won't be ordering again. Put an order in for myself and customers didnt show up your loss

Great food,fair prices,service is amazingly fast

Best Chinese take away in the area. Always ready on time, used for years, and never had an issue. Ive seen some reviews comments being negative about waiting on delivery- very strange, as they’ve never done delivery…… Food makes it worth collecting!

Food not really warm enough. Usually good

Food is always nice. Pretty quick aswell once order is placed.

Food is OK. But didn't get orded correct, even upon collecting and my friend popping back down to collect extras missing. We then had to recall, which they then wanted us to collect.. After 2 journeys, would of cost more in fuel. £6.50 for a small curry, barely fed 2 of us, (and we aren't big eaters) although menu says curry with mushrooms AND chips or rice for £6. 3/4 duck, didn't touch 2 of us, as we had a whole bone and few bits of duck on side. Upon calling, they couldn't correct order. Will not be ordering again. Will take to just eat or our usual festival Chinese( stadium).

One of the best Chinese takeaways in the district. Shame collection only. But always great taste and quality. Worth the drive.

This place is in my top 3 in Chinese, great food always great never had a problem. I believe this place gets some bad reviews based on delivery which I've never tried as I live local. Food when collected has always been top notch and have never had a bad experience at this place.

Best tasting take away around only downside is they are very busy

We order here quite frequently because we love the food, however the customer service which is a massive part of business isn't quite there. You have to order £30 to get prawn crackers which is bizzare escpiallg when ordering alot from here. As locals we just expect a little bit better customer service.

We had a lovely Chinese food would highly recommend

Absolutely amazing!!! So delicious 😋 order was 100% accurate despite it being a very large order. We keep going back for more!

I’d love to leave a review of the food but after two and a half hours it hasn’t arrived and the people on the phone are expert at talking bull droppings , don’t order from here

Think chips are reheated, very hard. Children balls need to left in a bit longer. Otherwise all good.

After waiting over 2 hours for my food to arrive, I received the wrong order. I received a meat dish after ordering vegetarian as I don’t eat meat and when I rang the restraunt to try and rectify the issue I was refused a refund and made to wait another hour for the other half of my meal. Whilst the girl answering the phone was helpful as possible all I could hear was the chef or owner shouting at the poor girl

Ordered on phone went an collect it as dont do delivery but its well worth it. As the food is excellent an the staff are lovely

Had a takeaway from this place the “Golden Hays take away” for my family. Cost £77 for 8 of us on Saturday night 1/8/20. It was absolutely disgusting. The worst ever. I don’t normally do reviews but was so angry and so disappointed. I phoned them told them what I thought and felt better for it. Needless to say I will move going back there again.

Love the golden Hayes ,the food is amazing .1st class every time , it’s the best Chinese in the area . only downside is they don’t deliver .

Love this takeaway. Good food, great service

We have missed this takeaway Chinese restaurant closed due to the Coronavirus. It is now open for takeaway menus and the food is as good as it always was. Lovely. During the lockdown, we tried another Chinese takeaway in Cannock that delivered - Mr Tangs and the food was absolutely awful.

They open now . Great local Chinese, but they only accept cash . Anyway , it’s worth ordering, if you want to try Chinese food , they are the best choice.

Avoid like covid 19. Made an order and continual delays after delays. Over 3 hours to receive food. Zero response. I would never use this takeaway if it was the last place on earth.

Worth a try love the beef curries

22/11/2019 My partner drove to this takeout a 10 mile round trip and ordered crispy duck and kung po chicken, rice and chips. When he got home with it, they hadn't put the duck in the order. He called them and they would only redo the chips. He had to go all the way back there to fetch my duck and a replacement chips. They didn't even have the decency to replace the whole order. So he had to reheat his as it had gone cold. The duck was dry and the portion was disgusting there was hardly any duck in there. They had left the bone in there that bulked it up bu the fact was there was hardly any duck. Very very disappointed and will certainly never be going back there again.

Service was fast. When we got home sause was missing, main meal had run out in the bag. Called them to say about sause they said they were sorry and we could have a free meal next time however when we fetched the sause my husband asked about voucher they shrugged shoulders and gave him prawn crackers. When he got home the meal was incredible. Never use that Chinese again.

Love this take way the best 1 for us, would go any where els would recomend to ever 1 , the food is 5****

Been eating from here for 20-odd years, absolutely love it!

Always order from here no matter were I am I will. Happily drive to get it form here food's very nice only downside is no delivery option

Great local Chinese, only thing that would improve it is if they accepted card payments. Though this is easily remedied with a couple of cash points within 50 yards

Very tasty food and cooked very quickly

Nice Chinese takeaway - cash only.

I love Hot Curry. I recommend ordering a truly hot & spicy & fresh flavoured Special Curry. It is so nice with the extra hot flavours. Very Reasonably priced and made fresh with small waiting times. Enjoy

I had a hot and sour soup followed by a special curry. Very tasty. Lots of meat even in the soup, not just onion and mushrooms to fill the dishes out like most other places!

We are regulars, we moved in the area recently and tried all chinese/cantonese take aways and Golden Hayes is our favourite so see you tonight :)

Visited the golden Hayes takeaway for family meal.cannot fault the service. The telephone was answered promptly and was able to collect within 10-15 min. The meal itself was delicious and everyone was more than satisfied and the portions was was get.first class

Well over rated can’t believe people think this is a good Chinese. Food was bland

I have very high standards of food, the food we had this evening was fresh, hot & very tasty. I’m a prawn lover my prawn curry was generous & delicious. Will be ordering from here again.

Thanks very much for the great service and quality of food

I think they may only have a 3star rating !!!!! Not good Should be law this is displayed.I do use the place myself, food is good most times. Would be nice to see a five star rating on the door, probably would have more confidence in the place. So I wonder why this certificate is NOT DISPLAYED .

We’ve tried many different chineses and there beef & blackbean varies from beef in gravy to blow your head off beef in a very spicy sauce.

Couldn't fault the food that we had tonight but the staff are very ignorant and let the place down badly.

Love this place only use this one .. Food is always very good

We have been using this Takeaway for over 26 years now and have never had a bad meal.

Not the best can’t understand why people eat here. Well over rated.

gorgeous Chinese best out but don't deliver

Been a customer for years, always friendly and the foods always perfect. I would recommend this takeaway

When we got home the Chicken and Beansprouts was Chicken in a sauce with vegetables and full of hard potato (no Beansprouts!) The pork chow mien with chewy dry meat and over cooked noodles and the prawn crackers are stale, bendy!

Food tasted fresh and really tasty, will order all future takeaways from here. Worth the trip to collect.

Never had a bad meal here, lovely food and staff are very good and accomodating

Not used this one for a while but have returned recently. Ordered over the phone. Miserably girl on the counter barely looks at you. Collected within 15 mins. Foods nice. Will use again.

My son loves the food here so much I have to go up for him at least once a week. The staff are always very friendly and the food, cooked to order, is tasty and lovely. I would recommend the Golden Hayes to anyone who like a a good Chinese takeaway.

Appears to be a popular takeaway outlet so we gave it a try, I chose the ‘chicken’ curry. I can honestly say the meat was very poor, almost inedible however nice curry sauce. The sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style was also pretty dubious, probably our first and last visit.

Always great food. Best Chinese takeaway in the area

We loved this chinese and we haven’t been there in ages. For a treat we thought we’d try it! Never again, Never again. The food has gone so downhill, curry tastes strange and so does the chicken in black bean sauce. Certainly ain’t be going back again!

Great takeaway food at a reasonable price

Nice food but always seems to be total chaos.

Not so good this time. Crispy beef was very bland and chewy. First takeaway I've had from here that wasn't perfection. I will give it another go after all we all deserve a second chance.

Pedimos una de ternera al curry con arroz frito, pollo satay con fideos chow mein. Vergüenza para decir lo menos. El curry era naranja (otro crítico ha tenido el mismo problema) y muy dulce. El pollo era simplemente cocidos hasta cieno muerte y obviamente llena de agua y deben de haber tenido media bolsa de azúcar en la salsa, la comida totalmente comestible. Llamamos para quejarnos nos dijeron que es como la gente de Heath Hayes como así que si no era de nuestro gusto, no era su culpa. Gran actitud - no! No hay donde en la tienda afirma extra dulce para gente así que cómo son los clientes los que saben? Si nunca has estado aquí antes de mantener bien lejos su desperdicio de dinero que tanto le ha costado ganar. He dado este comentario 1 estrellas porque no me pusieron ninguno esta es la peor comida que he estado, mira mis otros comentarios.

Food always tasty, friendly staff & quick service.

Simply this is the best takeaway in the Cannock area. Food is always fresh, hot and tasty with no MSG added. Use this takeaway every time for Chinese food.

The best Chinese food in the area by miles, collection only but well worth the trip.

quick and filling food, only lacks free prawn cracker options you used to get with all meals , prices are average , never had a bad meal here.

This is the only place we get our Chinese takeaway from & it never fails. We always phone our order through & then collect at the given time. Never a problem & food always great 👍

Fabulous, it's really showing up all the other local takeaway restaurants in the local area! Not worth using any other in the area.

Always great food best in the area for take out. Prices are reasonable don't be put off by the look of it.

Really nice food. Shame it is collection only, well worth the trip to get it though.
