Honestly didn’t expect to come across proper Chinese food in the Lake District – and this place was such a nice surprise. The steamed sea bass was super fresh and tasty, the dry-fried green beans were packed with flavour, and the tofu dish was really comforting. Everything tasted just like home!
It’s also really affordable, which makes it even better. So glad we found it – we’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re around.- Price per person

China cottage was lovely! Bit of a quiet night but we went and absolutely LOVED the food! We shared a quarter duck to start with and got loads of it! I had the stir fried beef with mushrooms and my dad had sweet and sour chicken. We shared egg fried rice, salt & pepper chips, and curry sauce. Everything was delicious, really good value for money and plenty between two people for sure! There was also a great Prosecco deal on! The lovely lady waiting on us was fab too. Would highly recommend!!- Service

Fantastic food, all perfectly cooked and presented. Lovely staff. Very good value for money. The beef steak in satay was the favourite for our group of 5. If you are eating in the restaurant do not be put of by the humble appearance of the building

Delicious and authentic Chinese cuisine that rivals even the best restaurants in major cities. The ambiance of the restaurant may be modest, but the flavors are exceptional. Loved the salt and pepper squids and the northern china dishes from the specials menu.

Great food, nice family run service. Can recommend the beef with mixed vegetables. While a busy eatery managed takeaway and sit down heads. Great dinner evening on a bank holiday weekend getaway.
