The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Chinese food

This isn’t a review I write lightly, as I genuinely believe in supporting local businesses, especially when the staff are warm and the food is full of flavour - which is certainly the case here. The lady at the front desk is always lovely, and the dishes themselves are tasty. However, I feel a duty to share my experience for the sake of others with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. Over the past couple of years, I’ve ordered takeaway from here a couple of times. Each time, despite reassurances that the dishes were gluten-free, I’ve felt unwell afterwards. Initially, I wasn’t sure whether it was the food or something else. However after another order last night - during which I spent significant time confirming every detail over the phone - I experienced the worst gluten reaction I’ve had in over five years. Today I’ve been completely wiped out and unable to work. I ordered a simple combination of rice, chips, vegetables, and cashew nuts. Based on my symptoms, I strongly suspect there was gluten present, and in large amounts - there had to be gluten ingredients added to the dish, not just cross contamination. For the benefit of the team, and any customers with coeliac disease, I kindly suggest reviewing the following practices: 1. Ensure food for coeliac customers is prepared in clean, separate pans that haven’t been used for previous (non-GF) orders. 2. Chips should be cooked in a dedicated gluten-free fryer, with no battered or gluten-containing items cooked in the same oil. 3. All gluten-free orders should be made fresh, without reusing ingredients that may have been contaminated. 4. Standard soy sauce typically contains gluten - please only use certified gluten-free soy sauce, which stores well and is safe. 5. Avoid using wheat flour or any gluten-containing thickeners in sauces - there are safer alternatives. While the food quality and taste are commendable, the apparent lack of communication between the front of house and kitchen regarding gluten-free requirements has, unfortunately, led to repeated issues. I share this not to discourage others from trying the food - if you don’t have allergies or dietary restrictions, this is a great local spot worth supporting. But for those with serious allergies or coeliac disease, I urge caution until clearer procedures are put in place. Should the business implement clear and robust allergy protocols in future, I would gladly return. Until then, I’m sadly unable to do so after these experiences.

Best Chinese takeaway I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Great menu, gorgeous food and the loveliest staff. I would highly recommend.

Gotten really expensive, for what you get..

Not bad, had a king prawn and chicken with fried rice, nice and clean, nothing to complain about. Only cash though..

Way too salty on the curries but the duck was nice, easy on the salt guys to us it was inedible.

Love love love this place. Food is fab. Staff work hard. Best Chinese around 😋

Singapore rice noodles, out of Singapore one of the best I’ve had not the usual greasy mess you usually end up with. Will be using again soon hopefully just as good.

Great price for what i got. Prefer my Chinese but that's just preference. Food was pretty good and service was great 👍

Absolute rubbish hair in food , special curry undercooked , chips raw from frozen flash fried , 2 hour wait for delivery , do not recommend this Chinese takeaway waste of money, delivery driver was polite, apologised for the delay overall waste of time .

Ordered a takeaway we regularly use them but today service was less than satisfactory it took 1 hour 20 mins for the food to arrive when asked why we only got a busy from the driver maybe you need to tell your customers when your really busy and at least give them some idea of how long we are Located only 10 mins from town and the food wasn’t up to standards either

They've been there 40+ years food was still as good

I have used this takeaway weekly on average since 1977. Unfortunately there has been a notice in the window to say that it has ceased trading (September 2024). I'm very disappointed to say the least but I would like to thank Peter and all his staff for the years of serving us with some lovely food. All the best in the future and good luck..... End of an era.

Food always great, Kung Po Chicken is always slightly different every time so obviously being made instinctively rather than mass produced base. Always great though! Driver is always very cheerful.

100% el mejor lugar para la comida china! Personal encantador y comida deliciosa, he estado yendo aquí desde que era un niño y todavía no he encontrado un lugar que tenga tan buen servicio. Definitivamente es un must try.

Been using this establishment regularly for around 5 years and have always found the food to be good. Unfortunately we live just outside the 3 mile free delivery area, but it’s worth the journey.
