Fantastic Chinese take away. We ordered for the whole family and it was all really good quality and super tasty. We ordered at 7:05pm on a Saturday night and it was ready for collection by 7:30. Really reasonably priced too!

Poor quality food, lukewarm and tasteless, had to return due to incorrect order who were then reluctant to amend order, please avoid and go to either Mountsorrel or Loughborough

I don’t like giving a poor review but on this occasion this establishment deserves it. Probably the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. Sweet and sour chicken balls were awful. The sauce was poor and whilst the chicken balls were plentiful they were obviously processed and had never seen a wok. Couldn’t eat the food. Sorry Quorn but your Chinese takeaway is poor.

This is a takeaway only place that does not accept cards. Get that right beforehand and it seems a lot of the less good reviews go away. I can't understand people that get shirty about this kind of thing - if in doubt, ask when you order! This is a no frills, reasonably priced, standard takeaway. It does everything you'd expect and does it very well. The food is always plentiful, tasty, hot and reasonably priced. If more places just stuck to what they are good at (like Quorn Cottage does), then the world would be a (slightly) better place. I have never had a bad meal from this place.

Haven't been to this take away since 2016 mainly because they don't deliver. Collected one last night, was very hot, beautifully clean food with generous portions. Not overloaded with carrots and onions. I loved the fact it wasn't full of salt or MSGs which is what a lot of people consider to be flavour. I love the fresh healthy taste so will definitely be making an effort to collect from now on instead of having mediocre food delivered. X

Gave this Chinese takeaway a try but it was terrible. Placed the order over the phone and then went to pick up at the given time, only to be told they only accept cash... I only had my phone on me to pay by Apple Pay and I thought being the 21st century, card payments would be accepted... alas... no... So I had to drive back home to get my wallet to drive back to Quorn, to go to the cash point and get some cash out. After all this commotion and bother I was praying that the food was going to be worth while but sadly it was far from it. We had a sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style, beef Szechuan style, egg fried rice, prawn toast and “crispy” seaweed. There was no crispness to any of the chicken or beef or the seaweed for that matter and the beef Szechuan sauce had a horrible metallic taste to it. The chicken itself had an almost slimy taste to it when you bit into the sweet and sour dish. The sweet and sour sauce had big lumps of tomato in it which we did not expect and the sauce just didn’t taste particular sweet. I’m sad to say that both plates went in the bin and the only thing I ate was the prawn toast and a bit of rice... should have looked at the other reviews beforehand and we would have chosen another takeaway...

We’re very glad our favourite Chinese takeaway has opened again! Ordered over the phone, detailed instructions on how to collect with social distancing in mind, and we could collect in 10 mins on a Saturday night. Only allowing 2 people inside at once but there was no one there when I got there and although it’s cash only I just made sure I had the right money so didn’t have to worry about any change. We will definitely be ordering again soon!

First time I've used this takeaway. Strangest salt and pepper chilli chicken I've ever had. It's supposed to be a dry dish. Received watery rubbery chicken covered in Chinese 5 spice, loaded with chunks of peppers. Very bland. The "special rice" was 5 pieces of king prawn and meat. on a huge toploaded bed of rice and nothing else. Won't be using again

Chicken Satay was delicious,very peanutty (is that a word?)& the ingredients appeared fresh. Egg fried rice was great-neither sticky not oily. KunPo Chicken equally good. Lots of free prawn crackers sealed the deal. Very quick for a large walk in order too. We would be happy to eat from here again.

We have continued to use Quorn Cottage over the year and still have it as our favourite Chinese take away in the area. The staff are really polite and helpful and the food is always ready in good time with little waiting. Still cash only but with two cash machines within 100 yards of the place, you don’t have an excuse.

We decided to have a take away after a few beers before a World Cup match. This was only up the road so decided to order a take away. The sweet and sour chicken balls were tasteless and the sauce was like wall paper paste. The spare ribs came in a weird batter which disguised a complete lack of meat just fat. The chicken in the main dish was tasteless and dry. I will never go there again

Over the last few months we have had trouble finding a decent Chinese takeaway and have been left disappointed by many we have used for years or tried in vain hope of having a nice takeaway. Finally.... it seems Quorn Cottage is our saviour. Good extensive menu of old favourites and chef specialities. Slightly more expensive than some in the town centre but the quality of the food is so much better. Everything beautifully cooked... not overly oily or artificial tasting. The meat is very well prepared and cooked... no slimy beef or chicken that doesn't even taste like chicken! They don't deliver but there is a car park over the road or on-street parking down most of the road. Thank you Quorn Cottage for restoring our faith in the humble Chinese Takeaway.

We decided to have a takeaway after a long, hard day at work and opted for Quorn Cottage as it's just up the road. What a mistake! We ordered Sesame prawn toast, Kung Po Prawns, Singapore Noodles and my partner had a chicken curry. The prawns were in a tasteless sauce and were lukewarm. The noodles were stodgy and tasted like somebody had poured a pot of chilli powder over to give them some flavour, no fresh tasting ingredients or spices. The toast tasted like overdone fried bread and was very greasy. My partner advised the curry was again lacking in flavour. And we paid £19 for the privilege! Oh and they don't accept credit or debit cards. We won't be ordering from here again.

As we were in the village, decided to get a takeaway here to test the quality. It was a Friday evening and busy with phone calls & people coming in to collect food so we were encouraged by this.It's quite a large menu - we ordered our food which didn't take long to produce. As has been pointed out, the takeaway don't take credit or debit cards which is a bit odd.The food we had wasn't horrible but it was pretty bland & not anything like the standard of our usual Chinese takeaway. It's hard to be bland with chicken in black bean sauce but it was very bland.I have to say we were disappointed - we will try the food again & sample some different dishes as we are aware that places can have off days etc.

We had a get together with a group of friends and fancied a takeaway and Chinese was the chosen option. There was a few of us so the meal came came to £74. Service was ok nothing more than that. The food was terrible, most was barely ok. We had a Chinese chicken curry, very weird dish, a small chicken breast in a curry paste, not that appetising! We had salt n chilli chips, we normally love these in places that do them. These were truly shocking! Normal chips that were dry and covered in five star spices! Not what they should be at all!!The worst was a chef special believe it or not. Fillet beef in black pepper sauce Cantonese style. To say this looked the least appetising Chinese dish I have ever seen is an understatement! It looked like it had either been slow cooked, warmed up a dozen times or simply left to overlook! It was dark black, dry and simply looked disgusting! Taste was barely better, hardly any! Hardy any beef and all peppers and onions. For saying this dish alone was £8.80 defies belief!! Never felt so over charged in my life! The next day I've had stomach cramps and an upset stomach, how weird eh? Dodgy food to blame from this establishment!! Needs reporting to Charnwood council!Cannot recommend strongly enough not to spend too much money in this place, simply avoid it!!

We have been using the Quorn Cottage for a number of years now as we always found the food to be very good. We have kept a menu all this time and always call ahead to order our favourites. Our order was taken well, correctly and politely and was ready at the appointed time. Unfortunately when we got home and started to eat we found the flavours and presentation of the food completely different to how it used to be. The lemon chicken was almost inedible as the lemon sauce was so sharp and sour, the presentation of the special fried rice not pleasant at all with great big slices of duck etc in it. Overall our most recent meal wasn't at all up to expectations. We really hope it was a 'one-off'.

Absolutely avoid. Lacks flavour, seasoning and any taste at all. Sauce is flavourless. Missing items. Rushed order, no love or heart in the food. Clearly not put any effort whatsoever into making it. Seen similar reviews elsewhere and think the place has gone downhill.
