Me and my household have been ordering from, and dining with Padgate Rose for at least a decade. We've seen a lot of improvement over the years, and today, after introducing my partner to the food from this restaurant when we had a takeaway previously, we dined inside as a late Valentine's celebration meal. After flawless service and delicious food, I took to the Internet to leave warm, friendly, and positive feedback as the establishment deserves it.
I think the restaurant has been refurbished over the years around two or three times, but on our visit, it's beautiful, cosy, and not jam-packed full of tables for maximum profits like other places. I think it's a family owned or run business, but if not, they certainly run it like one. The staff are friendly and respectful. The food is absolutely delicious, and some of the best takes on traditional Chinese recipes around. I personally love the chicken with creamy mild curry sauce, and my partner got today chicken in green pepper and black bean sauce.
When dining in you receive a warm water bowl if having hand-held food, free prawn crackers with sauce, free fruit and fortune cookies at the end as well as a wet wipe and it's small things like these that I certainly appreciate and you'd be surprised how many places should give you a warm water bowl after certain foods for example, but don't.
The meal cost us around £55 and that was for 2x starters, 2x main meal, and 2x large soft drink. Would recommend anyone to try the Padgate Rose at least once...
   Read morePoor management and rip off merchants. Booked in for the Xmas buffet for 6. Had to pay £50 deposit in advance to secure a table. Arrived, every table free. Only seving £32 or £39 set meals. Ordered from £32. Food was good but took far too long. 3 hours for our meal to be take. Restaurant is tired, dated decor. Restaurant was full of people waiting for take away. Standing right near our table. 30 mins between course. Food slapped down on the table. One poor girl had to wait an hour for her collection order. Bill came £272 inc drinks!?!?! No wine just soft drinks. They hadn't taken off the deposit. Asked my sister provide a receipt that she'd paid the deposit. Made her sign bill and order book that she'd paid it. Then got home realising they'd changed us for £39 menu. Went back to get a refund and they said they'd been trying to call us. No missed calls...... No apologies for slow food or having to eat with a queue next to us. Embarrasing. Won't be going back. Avoid if you're looking for a decent...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe best local Chinese restaurant/Takeaway.
Much better quality ingredients, more vegetables, generous with meats/seafood. Wider range of flavour, dont overuse MSG. The service is friendly, speedy (even though it is very popular.) If you turn up when it opens at 5 on a Saturday, you'll be in a queue with 3-10 other people. We have eaten here at least 6 times over 4 months. Because its cooked fresh, they are able to customise your order. I request no added salt (other than what's already in the other ingredients sauces.). Not very wheelchair friendly. A step at the front and no ramp, leads to double doors that open outwards. Meaning you cant be on the step to open the doors. Fine if you have a strong friend with you. Take out is only £1 within 3 miles though and its pretty quick. Also it...
