The BEST Tiger Prawns around! We went to visit the Great Wall Restaurant as we knew it had been under a new management and keen to see the new results. Outstanding, the place was so busy but that created a great atmosphere, and the food coming out of the kitchen was delicious, the staff were very attentive and super friendly. There was five of us dining and we had a massive selection of dishes, the crispy beef, melt in the mouth, the vegetarian dishes were fresh and tasty, the spare ribs meat dropping off the bone. We were all impressed with the white and red wine options and of course the Cobra beer on draught got no complaints. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be going back again. Perfect location to explore the lovely streets of Tewkesbury and a stones throw away from the Abbey and the River.

Ordered as a big group so had the menu on our phones and consolidating to one list. Turns out there are two menus and the numbers don’t match so I had a can of fanta but no food (we ordered by name but the pick up collection it was read by number so we didn’t pick it up as we had both in our list). Called to ask what happened and no offer of delivery, disappointed

The delivery was a half hour later than stated on email. Fortunately the food was still hot but the prawn crackers were stale and inedible.

Terrible customer service. We used to spend a lot of money here on takeaways, but last night was the last time. We ordered a delivery for 1930 for when my wife got home from work. Turned up at around 1730. When I questioned the driver, he just shrugged and handed me the food. Phoned the restaurant and was asked if this was ok, or did I want another sent out later. I opted for another sent out later. Thought this was the end of the matter. Instead, I receive a phone-call later asking for the food to be sent back??? Assuming the driver would drop the order off at 1930 and pick up the old 1 then??? Nope. The delivery driver turns up at 1830 and says “give me the food”. When questioned why he is back, and whats going on, again just shrugs. So I give him the food. And off he goes. At 1930 he turns up, with what I expect to be the exact same food I sent back, just reheated (contains prawns) as it all tasted soft and soggy including the nuts, which it doesn’t usually, and like I say, we used to order a lot. Really terrible way to treat a long standing customer who spends a lot of money with this place.

I can only assume that the customers who write good reviews for this place are either telling lies or are easily pleased. My wife & I, on holiday in Tewkesbury, called in for a takeaway. We chose the house special fried rice £8.00 and BBQ pork in a sweet & sour sauce £7.50. The 'house special' was served in a plastic tray with two individual compartments about two inches square by three inches deep. One tray contained fried rice the other some meat, vegetables & prawns in a sauce. The ingredients where; two pieces of chicken, pork, beef & prawns all of which where about the size of a postage stamp & almost as thin. The portion of rice would barely fill a very small teacup. However, this was fairly good compared with the BBQ pork. This was served in a very shallow plastic tray about the size of postcard. Tiny, pea sized, pieces of soggy battered pork floated around in a very sweet, sickly, insipid sauce. No rice. The pork was totally inedible and had to be thrown away. The house special barely enough to feed a child. THIS IS THE WORST CHINESE TAKEAWAY EVER! Why customers return - if they ever do - is beyond my understanding. A complete waste of money. There are other Chinese takeaways in Tewkesbury. I have no idea how good/bad they are but they have got to be better than this place.

We dropped in on spec and were given a warm welcome and attentive service but most of all the food was brilliant. We had the set menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well cooked and presented and great value for money. We will be back the next time we are in Tewkesbury!

We actually ordered a takeaway. Cost Almost £45, the whole lot went in the bin. Prawn toast seem undercooked. Crispy chicken was more like sticky chicken. Duck spring rolls had a strand of duck in them and were soggy not crispy. Pineapple fritters soggy. All food cold. Had to phone for missing cola. Actually phoned to give them opportunity to put it right he just made excuses.” Can’t fill spring rolls with duck- be too expensive. Chicken softens crispness on delivery!!!” So incredibly disappointed. Being ordering from here for years. All he wanted to credit was spring rolls and fritters from £45 of food put in the bin.

We ordered a take away to be delivered. We are staying in a holiday cottage round the corner. Due to lots of walking we were shattered so opted for delivery. Took over an hour to arrive. We ordered special chow mein & special fried rice with sauce. Because of what we order at home, we were not expecting a very dry chow mein. The special fried rice came in a half & half container so not a lot of rice. A few veggies & a little liquid. It was just OK. Too be honest most of it was leftover & put in fridge only to be discarded when we left.

We had a home delivery take away on Wednesday 21st at my mothers bungalow, she had just been discharged from hospital and unable to walk far. The ordering was easy as was booking the delivery slot. 15 mins later than ordered a received a call from the delivery driver to say he was outside. Unfortunately he wasn’t and had gone to a nearby building, which is another post code. One of the items ordered was ribs in barbecue sauce. These were the worse ribs in sauce I had ever seen. The sauce was like water, ribs weren’t sticky at all. As a past resident of Tewkesbury, I hadn’t used this restaurant since Andrew retired and sold it on. The food is nothing like it was, so w3 will avoid it in the future.

Visiting town - bought a takeaway from the Greatwall - the service was friendly and timely. The food was wonderful - it was the best chines takeaway we have ever eaten!! We had chicken chow mien and sweet and sour chicken balls with sauce. The batter was delicate and crispy- and remained crispy to the last bite. The sauce was perfect - and it was not at all gloopy or synthetic. The chowmaien was full of flavour and good pieces of meat and vegetables. If we visit the town again we will certainly return to the Greatwall.

Have eaten there twice in last month or so. Friendly service, good food, reasonable prices. Hit a bad patch many moons ago (very poor takeaway) but suspect under new management again and couldn’t fault it (apart from the lack of banana split on dessert menu - which used to be much looked forward to by my partner in years gone by). Back on our ‘occasional evenings’ list. Well worth a visit. Very enjoyable 😊

Whilst staying at a campsite in the area we thought we would order a Chinese for delivery. The delivery driver phoned when they arrived on site and we met at the entrance barrier. The delivery was very quick and the food lovely and fresh. The whole family enjoyed it. Very good portion sizes. Wouldn’t hesitate to order again if staying in the area.

One star was given as my husband was ok with his meal - salt and pepper king prawns and duck in plum sauce. The rest of us were very disappointed, to say the least. One of our party could not eat his starter or his main course, leaving most of it. Tasteless food, not at all as described in the menu. There was only one other table occupied which for me speaks volumes. A couple of people came in to collect takeaways. We were not asked if everything was ok, even when seeing the food left on the plates. This used to be the best restaurant when Andrew and Christine had it. You had to book well in advance to get a table. We certainly will NOT be going there again.

We visited this restaurant on two occassions, and both times we were impressed not only with the quality of the food, but also the prices. We received a warm welcome, which complied with the current Covid recommendations, and found the restaurant to be clean and comfortable. Notwithstanding previous comments I would certainly recommend this restaurant, and this would appear to be supported by its popularity when we visited. Well done to all the staff.

We have visited the great wall on several occasions over the past few years and I have to agree with many of the reviews that is was lacking in many ways. However, this restaurant is now operated by different people and WOW what a difference. G Food is excellent and the service matches this. If you haven't been for a while then give it a go.

The new owners have given the Great Wall a long overdue refurbishment and the previously shabby decor now looks much smarter.We've been there four times since it reopened, trying a selection of dishes, and have yet to be disappointed. It's not a massive menu (no bad thing IMHO) but there is sufficient selection to please most tastes.The staff are welcoming and helpful and prices are reasonable given the quality of the food - altogether a pleasant dining experience.The GW deserves to be a lot busier than was on the occasions that we dined there. Maybe they are still suffering from the poor reputation of the previous owners; if so, that's a great shame.

We recently visited Tewkesbury and on the first night enjoyed a take away from The Great Wall. The staff were friendly and professional. The restaurant had a 1980s restaurant feel to it with function room chairs and table clothes but was clean and busy even though it was quite early in the evening. The food was delicious, hot, decent portions and the Mandarin ribs were especially tasty - something our local doesn't offer. Good value, good quality Chinese.

Familia se reúnen para un cumpleaños especial. Habiendo visitado muchas veces en el pasado con una mala experiencia reciente, pensamos que lo intentaríamos de nuevo. Las bebidas y los entrantes llegaron rápidamente, pero el plato principal llegó más de una hora después de que hubiéramos terminado nuestros entrantes. No hay una explicación real, excepto quizás concentrarse demasiado en las comidas para llevar que las del restaurante. Nos ofrecieron una bebida de cortesía y si bien este fue un buen detalle, hubiéramos preferido un mejor servicio. La comida cuando finalmente llegó era buena.

No me impresionó. Primero que todo, fue un trabajo duro tratar de pedir bebidas (la camarera era inútil) y luego trajo las equivocadas. No podía molestarse en ir a través de todos los problemas de nuevo, así que simplemente los aceptó. Entonces, en cuanto a la comida, parece que pides un plato principal y eso es todo. Prefiero cuando pides varios platos para hacer una comida, no solo un plato grande. La comida está bien, pero nada especial. Pobre ambiente cuando estuvimos allí. No volveremos

Having been here numerous times over the years and experienced great service, brilliant food, and a lovely ambience, so disappointed to see that this has now become your standard below average Chinese takeaway. Food inedible ( chicken beyond rubbery ) and extremely poor, service disengaged and more interested in their deliveries, resulting in long periods of time between courses. Will not be returning ever again.

Just had a meal with my family of 4 and first thought was that the place was ridiculously outdated but that sort of thing doesn't bother me. We were served by a lady who looked like she hasn't cracked a smile in 10 years but our food was cooked and served within 10 minutes which is very good but the food was just as standard as it gets and very bland and no thought went into it, just chucked together. When my bill came I was fuming. 51 quid for 4 small meals! I'd rather go to the wetherspoons up the road and have a noodles and a beer for a fiver. I know Chinese restaurants aren't ever that cheap but 51 quid. Nah you're alright mate.

Another excellent Chinese restaurant. Tables were laid with chopsticks, which proved to be a good omen. We had the shared platter of butterfly prawns, pepper and salt spicy spare ribs, spring rolls, seaweed and deep fried squid. They did not skimp on the portions and it was delicious.For main we shared Sizzling fillet steak in black bean sauce, Sizzling mixed seafood in ginger and spring onion and mixed vegetable fried rice. All were delicious, especially the fillet steak which was quality meat with a strong flavour of pepper.The service was very efficient and attentive.Top class and will come again.

The Great Wall has been in Tewkesbury for decades. There is a reason for that. The food is delicious. The staff are friendly. It is very reasonably priced. A bit baffled by the comments regarding the decor. I didn't even notice there was a problem. Just to say this place has a top score for hygiene which I would suggest is far more important.The starters were to die for. The chicken satay,spare ribs,spring rolls and seawood were superb. The mains were excellent too with the King prawns with Chinese mixed veg,Singapore noodles and sizzling beef lovely.This place will still be around many years from now. We will return many times over.

We nipped into Tewkesbury for a quick evening meal inbetween jobs down at the marine. The Great Wall looked OK and there were people inside enjoying themselves. Very polite and attentive staff who served drinks while we chose off the menu. I had Duck in Orange sauce, egg fried rice, and my wife had the Chicken with fine noodles. The duck was sliced thickly, with crispy skin on, and the orange sauce was just sweet enough with still some citrus tang. The chicken and noodles were lovely and smoky. There was very little left of anything, and rightly so! We took a takeaway menu just in case as well, but I feel we will be coming here again. We were in an out in 40 minutes, which was spot on for us. Recommended.

Went in on a Saturday lunchtime and should of realised when saw we were the only customers that the experience wouldn't be great. The waiter that served us was quite pleasant but the food not. We had the starters with the smoked chicken which was dreadful, tasteless and tough. Spring rolls very greasy. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken which was horrible and tasted like vinegar and the chicken was tough. Really horrible. My husband had the squid in black bean sauce and said it was ok but a little overcooked. Noodles were ok. Decor very dated, cheap and shabby which would be ignored if the food was great. Will not be going back.

The real problem was the appalling service - we ate in relays! We were quite clear about our order and checked it was correct but it was not delivered! First a couple of dishes arrived, then a wait before a few more, then the last ones . The main courses were a shambles - the wrong dishes arrived, again at long intervals! There should have been 5 chicken and 3 pork dishes - but the order was reversed - 3 chicken 5 pork etc. Others just didn't arrive at all - not enough portions of a Noodle dish. So they had to cook more which meant that people were sat waiting while others were eating ( as there seemed no point in letting food get cold!) At least one person opted for the dish which did arrive rather than wait for a new one to be cooked - which was a wise decision as the replacement ones were not great.The waitress seemed totally confused, no apology for her own errors (seemed rather cross if anything) and no reduction on the bill either! And £1.70 for a lime and soda seems a bit steep to me! We didn't kick up a fuss but I don't think she got many tips.

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, my husband and I decided to give this restaurant a chance, and we are so pleased we did. The staff were lovely and friendly, the food is amazing, a very good choice and great value for money. We went for the set menu, and the choice was perfect, large portions and just lovely and flavoursome and hot. Other reviewers have commented on the decor, it really is just fine, not plush, but we went for the good food, not to look at the wallpaper - so worth a visit, we'll be back.

Our bill for two people for three courses and bottles of beer was £30, which was about the best value meal I've had this year. A warming chicken and sweetcorn soup was followed by sweet and sour pork in light crisp batter and I just had to have the delicious banana fritters. Service is quick and helpful.

My wife & I had starters, main course & a couple of drinks, the food was all cooked to order & was lovely & fresh. The staff are very friendly & do a good service. The cost & the meal & drinks was reasonable. We did not realize that we needed to book a table, but they did accommodate us on a very busy Saturday night in the town as it was Bonfire Night.

Excellent Chinese meal with good service and very tasty well-priced dishes. I felt for the staff due to other diners with a very badly behaved child who they would not control. The waiter said it was dangerous to let it run around with the hot dishes and they took no notice! Despite this we enjoyed our meal.

We were a bit dubious about ordering given a few of the previous reviews however, we were not disappointed at all!! 6 of us eating whilst in Tewkesbury on holiday and every one of us loved our meals, very tasty and very good value. Could not fault anything about it! Would definitely recommend!

Visited with my wife whilst in the Tewkesbury area. Although we could see that the interior of the restaurant looked dated and a little basic, we noted a food hygiene rating of 5, so thought we'd give it a try.We were greeted pleasantly on our arrival and duly shown to our table. Our meals came quickly after ordering and, sadly, were less impressive than the food hygiene rating!! The food was bland and uninspiring, really lacking flavour. The presentation was also unexciting.At no point throughout the meal were we asked if the food was satisfactory. Even when collecting in the plates at the end of the meal, the waitress failed to ask whether we'd enjoyed it.The restaurant is shabby and in need of updating. Grubby, old carpet, furniture and decor.Definitely would not go back!!

I have just downloaded the app and and created an account on here so I could write a review. The meal itself was gorgeous and the service was top class. I live in the sticks which is quite a few miles from the restaurant but there was no problem delivering to me in the 45 minutes advised on the phone. Great value and a free bottle of coke and crackers for spending over £35. Could not recommend highly enough.

Decided to have a take away rather than the useful pub grub as staying over in a nearby hotel. Placed order by phone and was taken swiftly and with a friendly tone. Timed to perfection as was ready as soon as I arrived. Nice touch as was given a bag of prawn crackers and a fortune cookie with my meal. Food was very good and food piping hot even when getting back to hotel. Good value and worth every penny. Would use again if in the area.

6 of us had dinner here on a Saturday night and everyone enjoyed it. The Malaysian dishes such as beef rendang, kung po char su pork and some others were particularly good. The kids had fun with the lazy Susan table and the staff were helpful and very friendly. Don't be put off by the decor.

Very impressed with the takeaway we had from here, for two, on the 31st August. Sesame toast, ribs and half a duck with pancakes. Were given free prawn crackers and fortune cookies. Could not fault the meal. .

We got a takeaway from this restaurant and it was more than acceptable. The food was nicely prepared and the portions generous. It really hit the spot!

Visited for dinner, where I was immediately struct by the quaint 1970's authentic atmosphere, which reminded me of my very 1st visit to a Chinese restaurant in Ross-on-Wye. Honest and original even down to the facilities! Clearly family run (which I love), where the matriarch was sat in the corner watching everything. Great service, lovely people and good food, what more can you ask for. Highly recommended - visit and enjoy

I'm vegetarian and they do a good selection of bean curd dishes and mock duck etc, The lunch time set menu is excellent value the hours are between 12 and 2 and the portions are small enough so that you can enjoy your pudding. The staff are always helpful and smiley and the atmosphere relaxed and unostentatious.

Been going here since i was little and the foods been amazing every single time, i always get chowmein which has never not been good, chicken in honey and lemon sauce is what ive been getting for years and would reccomend it to anyone that hasnt had it, only thing i say is that the prices have gone up over the years but if youre only going to have it on the odd occasion its worth it.

The food was tasty but we are only in the next village and the hangover box arrived pretty cold which was disappointing. The smoked chicken was actually stone cold. I think they need to rethink packaging when it's a delivery to keep it warmer

Came here for a birthday meal in a Saturday evening. Friendly welcome and food came out very quickly. Lovely range of options and the items we ordered were delicious. Would particularly recommend the Deep Fried Baby Sweetcorn with Salt and Chilli 🤤

Went for an evening takeaway at the lovely Swallow Inn, all the staff were fantastic, genuinely very helpful and most of all very friendly. The food was fantastic you can tell the cooks you don't see work hard and take care about the food they make. Was lovely and couldn't fault at all. With an amazing selection on offer I cannot recommend enough! I am not a local but next time I am passing through I'll be sure to come again. Such a lovely team who make you feel right at home.

I had to wait for two hours for my food, when I complained I was told I’d get some free drinks. I wasn’t happy with this but accepted it. I then didn’t receive the drink I paid for or the free ones. When I complained again, I listened to them shouting in the background for ten minutes then got hung up on. Terrible customer service.
