Ordered chicken curry. It wasn't 'real' chicken and the curry sauce was frothy. The spring roll was very old tasting, like it had been deep fried in very old oil or more likely been reheated aswell. It was 'old' non fresh tasting. Was totally gutted as after a few days not being able to eat properly I was soo looking forward to it. I rang to describe my complaints but she stayed quiet and then pretended she didn't understand. So I patiently repeated it 3 times. No offer of and full/partial refund or apology. So if that's how they treat their customers then they should loose them. Old oils are harmful and yuk tasting. I know the difference.

Ordered chicken curry (CC), Rice, large pancake roll (LPR), for delivery. Told 30 to 40 mins delivery. It was delivered 55 minutes late, the CC was worryingly frothy and the chicken was not 'real' fresh chicken. The LPR appeared soggy, dark and tasted old and 'chewy' like it was either very old oil or it had been reheated. I rang to complain, calmly, clear. Suddenly her English was very poor so i repeated 3 times calmly. No apology or offer of refund even though it was inedible.. I think at these prices and previous custom they should REFUND and apologise. So WILL NOT use again.

The food is decent. It’s a tad expensive but I’m a sucker for their Chicken Satay skewers. Crispy Chilly Beef is good and their Chow Mein. I’m yet to have anything from here that isn’t great. There is still a large portion of the menu I’ve yet to try but so far with the roughly 5 different items I’ve had I’m greatly pleased with this place

Getting really fed up of ordering a takeaway and when the delivery driver gets here he has numerous problems with the cheap card reader and when he phones up Tim Ley can’t be understood.I’ve used Tim Ley for thirty years but unless they get things sorted it will be the last.

Ordered at 5:20pm on a Saturday and food was delivered fresh and hot by 5:40pm. Quickest delivery I've had of anything, ever, and such friendly service. The food itself was fantastic - particularly the crispy chilli beef and the crispy pork. Not too greasy and perfectly cooked. A couple of pieces of bone were in one of the duck rolls, but I think I was just unlucky as the other one was fine - it happens. We will definitely be ordering again!

Placed an order and was told approx 40 min delivery. Waited over an hour, and still no food. Called again, only to be told food was just being cooked and would be another 30 mins. Waited another 30 mins and still no food...... so called AGAIN..... only to be told the food had been delivered and paid for...... not by me it wasn't...... then they said they couldn't find my order and that nothing has been cooked or sent out! Family of 6 now without any meal..... will NEVER use this place again....total shambles..... and they lied to me! My advice is go elsewhere!

We had our first meal from Tim Ley delivered last night. It was fabulous first time around and there was so much we are having seconds tonight! Really great food and plenty of it, we only ordered our usual but it was far superior to other deliveries of chinese food we have had. It is not a restaurant but a collect or delivery only. Thank you Tim Ley.

Thought we'd try this after so many years as it was vrsp and still is ..in fact worse.. As our local was closed was reason we'd try to see if had changed its bad cooking..obviously still bad We only ordered large chips so was extremely Dissatisfied say least as they were over cooked and probably re heated over again that there was barely any potato left except for crispy nothingness! Wont bother again as they clearly can't cook properly..just chucked up poor quality food..

What can I say... This place is a gem. Everything we ordered was nothing short of exceptional. Mixed Hors D'oeuvres - ribs were delicious, prawn toast were crispy and golden at not at all greasy, same story with the vegetable spring rolls and they had a good amount of filling, chicken skewers were perfectly cooked. Sweet and sour chicken balls were crispy but fluffy and again not greasy. Crispy shredded beef was the best I've ever had, the beef and veggies was a lovely texture and the sauce was spiced to perfection. OMG the pineapple fritters mmmmmmmmm

Nice little Chinese takeaway, used it a few times now. They have a pretty novel ordering system where you WhatsApp them your order, really good idea as then you've both got written receipt of items in case anything was missing. The food has so far been mostly pleasant, aside from an unfortunately grissly pork noodle dish a while ago, but that seemed to be an outlier. Standard issue with Chinese restaurants in that they have very little online presence, and would really benefit from being on UberEats/Deliveroo like the rest of the offerings in town.

After looking at various reviews for Chinese Takeaway we opted for New Tim Ley and we are so pleased we did as the food was fantastic. There were 6 of us eating and everyone really enjoyed as it tasted like authentic Chinese food. It took just under 45 mins to arrive on a Saturday night which I thought was really good and besides I think it's worth waiting for quality.

Such a variety of delicious veg and protein. Loved every mouthful and lingering tastes. Thank you.

I recognised the lady straight away, it was nice to see the owners that I remember from when I lived in Burgess Hill return. This was always my Chinese back in those days and the food was tasty again. The best sweet and sour chicken balls I've had in years, anywhere. The chow mein was quite greasy, whilst still very tasty, which is the only reason it's not 5 stars on this occasion.

I realised now I should have taken the Chinese back the same evening as it was just disgusting. The rice and crackers were nice but the chicken chow mien was just tasteless, the curried chicken had a really weird taste and was inedible and the chicken balls were bland and the sweet and sour sauce really thin and again tasteless. £18 completely wasted. I will not be back ever again and it’s such a shame as they are so lovely there.
