Only 4 star at this time as it was my first visit for a takeaway, I found it very clean welcoming and the Gentleman that served me was very polite friendly and engaged in conversation.
The food was outstanding, flavoursome and was plenty of it in large containers. The curry I had was delicious (not full of onion) but with much meat and veg with a great taste and aroma.
I only have one criticism but I am sure it was just a simple mistake, I ordered a Roast Pork Curry but when it come to dishing up it was a Beef Curry. Not a problem though as it was great.
Will definitely be using them again, I wont be complaining about the mistake as I enjoyed it so much, so overall much better than other local Chinese Takeaways in taste and amount, and time waiting.
I think giving them 5 stars will have to wait until a couple more visits and a seating in the delightful restaurant they have.
Great meal Chinese Cottage look forward to trying another dish, preferably a 'Roast Pork Curry' lol...
Coming back to this review.... After tonight Jan 14 2018. Had a problem with my order again as the same above, but this is not the second time, it is the 4th or 5th issue since writing this review.
Now adding to my review, I will never be using this establishment again and I will be informing all my family and friends that use you not to either.
After tonight you was rude and unprofessional, even after informing you my mother recently died who was one of your regular customers, you simply said 'Find a better restaurant'.
Disgusting rude and unapologetic. Even when I was leaving I replied to another comment you made, by saying that I had no problem with your food it is outstanding but your service and attitude is terrible.
Avoid this...
Read moreIt's disaster! I am a Chinese. I am planning to treat my English friend a good Chinese meal to thank for his kindness. It was the first time I came to this restaurant (and it would be the final time too!) First of all, we didn't see any Chinese service the table or counter. We tried to order Chinese tea, but the waiter has no idea what kind of Chinese tea they have. The waiter show us the tea bag and I noticed that it is a cheap Chinese green tea, so we ordered beer instead. We order dimsam for 2 and it costs 14 pounds. There are 4 types of dimsam served in one cold plate with cheap sauce in the middle. Deep fried cake was overcooked and burn. They tastes like the one we bought it Chinese super market and cooked at home. It is a ripoff for nearly 14 pounds. We also had king prawn noodle. There are about 4 prawn inside and plain noodle which tasted awful. The noodle was cut into small pieces. The is what Chinese chef won't do! So we asked where the chef comes from. The serving people told us the chef is a Chinese. I must say that I found it so hard to believe. If I didn't have guest with me, I would ask to see the chef! At the end, the bill we received including service charge! What kind of service we received?! I learned my lesson. I am a Chinese and I should have known - never go into a Chinese restaurant where there...
Read moreWe decided to have a chinese takeaway - after reading some of the reviews I wasn't sure about The Chesham cottage. However my son had said they were very good so we ordered. The order was taken very quickly and I was told it would be ready in 25 mins, just time to get over there- WOW - the food was delicious - the very best Chicken and sweetcorn soup I have ever tasted, every dish was fabulous and plentiful, no soggy batters here - Don't take any notice of the bad reviews - we have had chinese from a very good source over the last couple of years and this was far superior. There were chinese people running the restaurant and the service we received was equal to the first class food. Can't wait till next weekend - I'm thinking of booking a table for my...
