Ordered ahead to collect on a busy Saturday evening. Orders under £20 are cash only. Owners very friendly. Food was amazing! Would definitely recommend.

Not a bad take away! I like the open kitchen, see your food being cooked, not bad prices.

Ordered to be picked up, thought it was brilliant value for money as two of the meals came to roughly, £19.40.

Went into to pick it up and was charged £33.20. When I rang back to enquire about this, they said that the menus we had viewed was old menues on their old website.

They asked me to then drive back down to the view the new menu. I wasn’t about to waste the fuel. I spoke with the owner and said this is false advertising and that they should have the old website taken down, he said he can’t do that.

I asked to be refunded the money as we were charged just shy of thirty pounds and he said he can’t do that sorry.

The salt and pepper chicken was dry and I got about six pieces of it, wouldn’t consider it a meal and got charged more than expected.

Moral of the story is if it sounds to good to be true it probably is.

Bad businessman and fraudulently taking money through false advertising. AVOID

Didn't really enjoy this one. Had salt n pepper chips, tasted like oven chips and not a patch on Manchester chippy's. Curry sauce was amazing though.

Fresh, tasty. The sweet and sour prawns were amazing - tempura battered king prawns rather than the sweaty ball things you usually get. Not over oily and dark, natural colours. Everything was lovely. Best Chinese I’ve had - shame I’m not local 🥲

Visiting the area so decided to use the Chine Essence for our evening meal, we found the staff very helpful our meal was cooked on time and everyone in our party really enjoyed the meals we had. The salt and pepper ribs were excellent and I had the crispy chicken in Cantonese sause superb. If you are staying in the area on holiday and you want to have a Chinese Meal then you can't go wrong with the Chine Essence.
