Well had a takeaway tonight and i can only say it was awful. The salt and chilli prawns were just cooked in a lot of batter and tasteless and nothing like we have had before . The squid and beansprouts was ok . Expensive AND THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO SELL FOOD LIKE IT .PLUS WHEN YOU COLLECT THE FOOD THE GIRL IS BEHIND SEALED PLASTIC SCREENS WHICH IS MADNESS AS COVID IS LONG GONE HOPEFULLY.
WILL NOT BE RETURNING

Everything was watery, chicken was tough. Chowmain was sloppy and wet. Chicken curry was very average. Definitely given an upset stomach. Won't be going again

Usually use the best Chinese in town lucky star unfortunately it wasn't open on a Tuesday so opted for the next best reviewed one how it's the second best is beyond me the beef was rubbery the chicken was strange like it was over cooked and all stringy and tough to eat the sauce on the curry was terrible really disappointed won't be using this again avoid the chicken chow mein Beef curry dishes awful worst Chinese I ever had through it in the bin where it belonged could tell it was cheap meat and cheap ingredients all round absolutely disgusting avoid at all costs

To warrant me leaving a review it would either be really good or really bad. I'm pleased to say in this instance it was exceptionally good. From answering the phone and taking the order, delivering the food and finally enjoying it was first rate. Thank you

We had a great meal, the food was plentiful and lovely. If we come back to the area on a break again we will definitely be revisiting.

We had given up trying to get a good chinese and a friend recommended Royal China so we thought we would try. My chicken chow mein was lovely, noodles perfect, lots of bamboo shoots & water chesnuts, which i love. My partners chicken curry and egg fried rice was really good. The only reason was not 5 stars is because processed chicken was used in both dishes 🙄 5 stars for the delivery driver very polite and friendly

First time we have used Royal China and will definitely be using them again. Food excellent and vegetables all crisp and fresh. The delivery was on time and the driver was very polite.

So impressed!!
We decided to treat ourselves to a Chinese, completely not realising that it was a Friday night, and Chinese New year and so it would be super busy.
We called our usual takeaway and couldn't get through for over half an hour, and when we did couldn't pay on card as we usually do (about the third time recently that they have said cash only, while I thought we were still preferred to avoid cash during the pandemic!).
So I remembered we had a royal china menu popped through our door a few weeks back, and we decided to try them instead, prices were similar so actually worked out a quid or so cheaper, but we paid £2.50 for delivery.
We were able to pay on the phone, and got told it will be an hour and a half.... A long wait, but expected based on the day, and they said an hour and a half... And that's exactly what it was...
Totally worth the wait and delivery charge, and they have now gained a new regular customer! Every item we ordered was perfect, and both me and my partner went back to the kitchen for more! Very impressive considering how busy they would have been too! Thanks royal china!
