PLEASE READ THIS For the price, the food was very plain had no taste it’s like they put no seasoning on it And everything was just dead, watery and sweaty I would definitely say, don’t eat there it’s not worth the money The best thing was the can of pop I wouldn’t even feed that Food my dog or cat or even the badges or foxes it’s disgusting 0 out of 10 when you spend over £27-£30 pounds, you expect free parwn crackers or something

First time ordered from Slowboat chinese: I Would highly NOT recommend 😕 The reviews people have posted quoting they don't know what's wrong with the foods and all the negative comments ects ( I honestly have no idea what they consider normal food!) Or what kind of food they eat on a regular basis ) to put that politely. From my personal experience the food was majorly under-cooked and tasted out of date we threw it immediately in the bin. • Hygiene is very poor I would go to another chinese and avoid this one at all costs. I am hopeful I will receive my full refund returned back via bank transfer with a-bit of luck, lady on the phone was extremely challenging due to return of refund and quoted " we haven't had any complaints this week " historically or recently she must of had quite a-lot ! Definitely avoid don't want food poisoning! Reminder : Always check reviews!

Unfortunately the food is average but the building inside and out is a disgrace. No idea on kitchen but can only imagine the same. Would be careful

Unfortunately, this was our first visit for a take away as our regular was closed. Neither of us ate much food; my partner normally eats anything! Chow Mein was slimy and tasteless and chicken was too chewy to eat in the sweet and sour 😔

Chicken fried rice was burnt tasted horrible. Chicken curry had become one mass almost like a thick yoghurt. Overall food greasy and upset stomachs today even though left most of it.

All you need to know: about half went straight into the food recycling. But, let's start with the good. the person taking my order was efficient and friendly - a great start. Delivery driver was equally efficient - and arrived faster than expected. Then, there's the food. It's not bad - it's just not good either. The fried rice was over-cooked and verged on rice pudding. The noodles had a smoky taste to them, but not in a good way and then you see the burned bits.... There just wasn't much flavour there. Apart from the spring rolls - they were good.

Such a shame! Used to be the best Chinese in Northwich. Flavour isn’t there anymore. Been taken over by English girls that simply can’t cook Chinese food. Avoid unless you like wasting your money.

Disappointed. Asked for meat spring rolls, but instead I received one big spring roll with like two tiny pieces of meat which packed with bean spout. Really odd. The food was late and cold also.

Absolutely disgusting curry sauce looked like it was from the night before, ribs were like chewing on a leather boot, chicken toast wasn’t even cooked and the chicken was rock hard too!! Only nice thing was the cans of coke and it cost £50 for all of it 🤮 had to order something else was inedible

Instead of picking the phone up, saying "hold please" and leaving the line open for 10 minutes eventually hanging up on the customer, just explain you are not taking orders. Its much quicker.

Been having take away from Slowboat for about 6-7 years, usually twice per month, Never had a bad meal, consistently good quality, delivery service is good, they give you estimate of delivery time and 90% of time its within 5 mins or so. Don't understand the bad reviews, makes no sense to us. We'd recommend every time.

When I moved to the area many moons ago, this place was my go to takeaway, with a fleet of white delivery cars just to keep up with the volume of orders from satisfied customers, but then it got taken over and the food became beyond poor! We stuck with them for while because we thought that this was down to growing pains, but no, the food remained disgusting! That was 15, 20 years ago but decided to order again recently because I figured that is they were still in business then things must have improved, but OMG NO! Absolutely disgusting, gave the whole order to the dog, but she wouldn't touch it either! How are they still in business after all this time? I guess they must have a second source of income. Anyone noticed that the review previous mine is 5 star? If you check this out they have done many reviews, all 5 star, just saying

What an absolute terrible terrible Chinese!!! King prawns were tiny prawns still half frozen covered in mush and not even cooked nevermind battered! Opened the pot of “curry sauce” to find a pot of slop that was jelly consistency! And as for the crabmeat and sweetcorn soup which contained no crabmeat and was freezing cold! Called the restaurant to explain but the owner gave me nothing hit grief telling me that she’s been open for 25 years and swearing at me over the phone because I asked for my money back! Terrible service and terrible food stay well away!!

I ordered a takeaway and they said it would be an hour to deliver. It too two hours. The rice was dry and the meat was burnt. The sauce was like cuppa soup and has a nasty texture. Some people seem to like this food going by the other reviews but I will not be going back.

Omg!! Just picked a Chinese from slowboat and it must be the worst Chinese I’ve EVER had! Chicken was just plonked on top of the noodles not even mixed in and the chicken tasted like jelly it was rank! The ‘egg fried rice’ and no egg in it the rice was dry it was like eating sandpaper! If I could give zero stars I would! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!!

Walked in to an empty restaurant to find 3 members of staff, 2 chatting and eating, the other one reading the paper. After a few minutes of looking at the menu, none of them had acknowledged our presence in any form so we left. Appalling.

Disgusting!!!! Ordered a meal to the value of £32. I was told it would take an hour to deliver. No problem with that, they must be busy! The meal I got had OBVIOUSLY been cooked WHEN I ORDERED IT, and kept warm until delivered an hour later! To add insult to dry food injury the sauce in the chicken mushroom had ran out of the container and dripped onto the carpet. Keeping food warm for so long, lord knows the health implications!!!! NEVER AGAIN

Absolutely gross. Watery food, wouldn't feed it to a dog. Avoid like the plague and you'd do a better job trying to cook Chinese for yourself at home. Rang to try and get money back and was thanked for feedback. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

The service from the Slowboat is dreadful, staffed by incompetent people who are incapable of taking an order. The quality of food is questionable at best. Use at your peril.

We order a beef and mushroom curry, beef with casews, chips, egg fried rice and some prawn toast £21.60. The chips come were not fresh were dry and looked and tasted awful! Looked like and tasted reheated.The prawn toast was greasy and soggy. The rice was look warm and no eggs in it. The curry was full of water and runny. I would never recommend or order from here again.we tried here bacause happy house Chinese on castle are closed on holiday they are half the price and a much better takeway! We are still hungry after ordering this meal because it ended up in the bin and the dogs had some. Awful!!

Me and my friend were shown deep aggression and overcharged for food. We just wanted chips each which should’ve been £2.50. However he tried to charged us £15 disgraceful Ludacris #AbolishBlueLagoon #GoToChesterShwarma
