“Spectacular food! My favourite restaurant to go too. Iv been plenty of times and had different meals and it's always been excellent. Staff are very helpful”

“Great little place, travelled to here for a parmo, been from the North East hard to find. Will defo be there again. Photo does not do it justice as I had to get a takeaway one. Be eating in next time.”

“We got cod and chips, sausage and cheesy chips. Fish was very soft and tasty, peas were nice, nice melty cheese and saudagr was warm and crunchy. Nice lunch”

“I've had Donner and Chips from this place a few times now, by far the best I've had in the area. No issue with portion size, tastes really good. Love the red salt (I think) seasoned fries as standard, fresh salad always served separately. Tonight thought I'd give the Pizza a try as they are pretty lacking at other places. Had a 12 inch Mexican with a tub of garlic mayo, wow what can I say, plenty toppings and cooked perfectly. Owners seem like genuinely nice people and you can tell from the quality of food they want to provide a good takeaway. 100% recommend giving this place a try.”

“I don’t understand the negative reviews, my chicken and donner kebab was perfect and the chaps at the shop were lovely, will definitely order again”

“Wow! I’ve been coming to Mama J’s for the past year or two to enjoy the odd cup of coffee but today I decided to go for lunch and try some of the food out. Firstly, I discovered a new part of the cafe which has recently been renovated at the back of the building in a small courtyard but very well furnished. The space is beautiful and very peaceful. The food was impeccable and the quality of the ingredients was very impressive. I ordered a BOB from the special menu and it was to die for. Value for money and I would definitely have food there again. If I could give 6 stars I would. Thank you :)”

“No food except for crisps etc... but a good selection of Keg and Cask ales. Try a paddle.... 1/3 pint of 3 separate ales! That way you can go through the board without getting sozzled!”

“We popped in on the off chance as we’d missed a train and needed a quick scooby snack. Apologies for not taking a photo of the fantastic peri chicken wrap, we was too hungry. But my god it was lovely. And the service stood out just as much, really friendly people, we’ll definitely be back. Thanks again guys”

“Best chippy around for miles. Never visit the chippy but this one is a real treat and we use it often. The fish served is huge and fresh and you just can’t fault it, the chips are cooked to perfection and the gravy is delicious. The proprietor is serving a tremendous treat.”

“We stayed there last night and we're spoilt. The beer selection was great. So nice to see proper cask ales. The food was top notch. Great menu and superb local, quality ingredients. Thanks to the staff for being so welcoming and providing excellent service to is. Definitely coming back. Thank you”

“We booked Cancello for a family pre Christmas get together for 16 people. Booking was straightforward and they asked us to pre order starters and mains the week before. On arty the welcome was warm and the table prepared perfectly. Everyone’s individual choice was spot on and the quality of the food exceptional. We had 3 young children and a baby in our group, and the staff were lovely towards them. A great venue, lovely atmosphere and superb food. Highly recommended.”

“Visited this restaurant for a meal with the family. It was a beautiful cush setting, rather cosy if you will and felt very homely. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Their generosity knows no bounds. The food was fresh and mouthwateringly delicious, the selections they have were absolutely divine. I, for one, will highly recommend locals to visit this brilliant establishment. If you love an old school curry made with heart and Bengal devotion, then this is the only place to be.”

“The both of us had an outstanding evening, with absolutely lovely food and such a nice service. We were welcome very warm and looked after perfectly. I would definitely recommend trying out this nice cozy restaurant! Perfect parking directly in the front - everything was excellent”

“Was my first visit today the food was spot on and the staff are very friendly I would highly recommend”

“Fantastic food complimented by great staff”

“Extremely small place, very cramped! 4 small tables with limited seating. Very clean, bright and modern. Quickly fills as it seems very popular. Staff went above and beyond to help me order, being super friendly and helpful. Portion sizes are very generous and steaming hot when served or packed for takeaway. Signature Satay Squid Skewer: the sauce was spicy and nutty, and the squid was chewy and smooth. Pork in Cantonese Sauce with rice: the large portion of pork was cooked well; not too tough, but with some bite, and smothered in the Cantonese Sauce with a sufficient amount of sticky rice to soak it up with. The sauce was sweet, sticky and plentiful. Overall, very satisfying food and a generous amount of it.”

“Just had an incredible experience with the XO fried rice from my go-to Chinese restaurant. The aroma that filled the room when I opened the container was mouthwatering. The rice itself was perfectly cooked—not too dry and not too sticky. The XO sauce, with its rich umami flavor, was distributed evenly, giving each bite a bold, savory kick. Generous chunks of shrimp, char siu pork, and vegetables added wonderful texture and flavor. The balance of ingredients was spot-on, making every mouthful a delightful mix of tastes and textures. A truly satisfying dish that hits all the right notes. Highly recommend!”

“We were looking for a Chinese and found Hong Liang. Just note they ONLY TAKE CASH, so take some. They are very reasonable and the food was amazing and big portions.....the ladies were absolutely lovely too. Absolutely go here as you won’t be disappointed. We had mixed curry with salt & pepper chips, salt & pepper chicken, special chop suey and sweet and sour chicken. Stunning! Absolute recommend it”

“We've been going to this restaurant on & off for over 30yrs and the food has always been very good, but tonight 21/04/25, we had 4 different meals with starters & we all said the same that the food was excellent, the best we've had anywhere in a very long time. The presentation & timing was perfect, couldn't fault anything, thankyou to all the staff.”

“My puppy and I visited here on a long walk and oh my gosh the hospitality!!! Anna saw us looking particularly lost and showed us to the garden area. We were then extremely well looked after. Anna provided us with cushions and an umbrella (to block the sun) and the young helpful lad inside got us both a drink. We were looked after so unbelievably well. I’ve honestly never received such an incredible level of hospitality and appreciate it so much. We felt so welcome. Your team who we met were absolutely outstanding, especially Anna. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend ♥️”

“Love this chippy best in newton staff are friendly food is delicious”

“Lovely food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere, would recommend.”

“Great clean nutritious food. Owner is a top bloke too. Nice place”

“We tried The Dragon for the first time last Friday 5 April, having been let down by our regular supplier. The food was beautiful, the duck was both crispy and tender and the chicken in the curry and sweet and sour was far superior to what we have been used to. Plenty of home made chips added to a fantastic meal. Will certainly use you from now on.”

“Good takeaway! It's our go to place for fish and chips. Quick and easy ordering and collection, good tasting fish, well cooked chips and nice peas. We even treated ourselves to a sausage, which was nice.”

“I have the chicken and shish and its very very nice,always comes with lovely fresh salad,this is the best kebab shop i have found in the area”

“Always fresh hot food, great salt n pepper really spicy. Great tasting food, smaller portions but quality brilliant. Nice staff too.”

“Date of visit: 17th July 2025. The tastiest Sub I've ever had from any Subway, ever. It was really well made, and well packaged and very flavourful. It honestly tasted so good. My only regret is not getting a footlong! The store itself was clean and well lit, and seems to have benefitted from a recent refurb.”

“Came in Tuesday night, I ordered fish and chips and it was lovely. Service was excellent and efficient. The vibe in the pub is really nice, the decor is classy and modern but still feels like an homely pub. Overall, my experience here was amazing. Will definitely be coming back. Big up the staff, they added the extra pizazz that really made the experience.”
