New China in Derbyshire Dales

Staying locally while on holiday. Not sure if we are spoiled where we are from but can’t understand how this has got good reviews.We spent £30 on food and only got 3 meals and ribs. None of the meals came with sides included and even worse, these were served in the small side dish sized trays. Meals come in large dishes and include chips for £6 where we live, these were £6.70 with nothing and tiny portions.Asked if we get prawn crackers upon collecting and was told I needed to order. Again, this is normally a given in most Chinese that you get free prawn crackers, but not here even when spending £30.The Beef in Cantonese sauce was passable, as was the chow mein. The chicken in black pepper sauce was unlike any I’ve had before. It was just like eating peppercorn sauce you would put on steak, odd!!The ribs I asked if they were dry (which we wanted), the guy said yes but these were swimming in sauce. They were also just huge blocks of fat on the bone.Overall the food is pretty poor but more importantly the price and portions are shockingly bad! Seem to be money grabbing in all area’s. Left feeling like I’d been robbed!

Really nice staff,quick and efficient,lovely food. Even got a calender as a little gift at christmas.

Food was fab , staff friendly & polite

Fav Chinese and they deliver! Wonderful.

Never had a bad meal from here, order by phone and you don't have to wait long at all

Good food and service, easy to park outside.

Absolutely delicious food and the quality of the meat is top class. The price is a pleasure, especially for the portion size and the set menu for 2 is just so much food. Excellent value all round.

Food is ok. Nothing that would make you feel like "ooo i fancy that chinese". Chicken was very dry in the chow mein and the fried rice. Black bean sauce had a sweet kick to it which i didnt really like. Prawn toast was decent to be fair but i dont think ill be returning

Yuck! We were trying to get food from another local take away but no one answered, so we went for this one. They were polite on the phone. They tried to accommodate a gluten free lemon chicken by giving us two chicken thighs with mounds of peas and lemon sauce on the side. I ordered sate vegetables - they said they could do it; but it wasn't that - it was just mixed veg. Same for the pork sate - just mixed veg with pork. The black pepper chicken was uninspiring. I had stomach cramps in night and I only ate the mixed veg. Never again. I hate writing poor reviews but it was all for a family meal on special anniversary weekend away. We took a risk after looking at reviews and it did not pay off!

Tam H in an earlier review says she hates giving bad reviews, but she has only given this one.!!!! Take it from me, I have never ever had a bad meal from these guys. Tam H seems like they have a lot of requirements and can't prove that a vegetable dish gives you a bad stomach. I doubt this very much.
