Mayflower - South Somerset

Being stuck for food decided to have a chinese? takeaway. Very quiet so order quickly taken and served. The 'sauce ' on the mushroom special was very watery with food almost tasteless. The chow mein was much better and egg fried rice very good. Server totally immersed in ignoring myself despite attempting to make small talk. Thought the meal was a little on the dear side. Will try one of the other establishments next time

We, the missus and I, have just moved to Chard and after a day of sanding our garage door we decided to have a Chinese Takeaway as neither of us felt like cooking. As we did't know any takeaways we walked down the High Street and stopped at Mayflower Chinese Takeaway. This small fronted shop looks small and scruffy and is only displaying a 4 on their hygiene rating. We placed our order with cheerful young man a set menu for 2), paid, cash only, then went for a walk to the local supermarket for ice cream for pudding. Arrived back 10 mins later to a bag being past straight over to us. Driving back it smelt lovely. Unpacked meal which had: Chicken with green pepper black bean sauce Garlic king prawn Sweet and sour pork balls Yuen chow special fried rice Prawn crackers Lots of food here, normal small sized tinfoil containers for Chicken, king prawn, Pork balls. A slightly bigger sized container than you normally get for the rice and big bag of Prawn crackers all for £19.60 *Chicken with green pepper black bean sauce Very Good and Tasty *Garlic king prawn Didn't taste the garlic but still very good *Sweet and sour pork balls Super Sour and battered pork balls were tasty although missus had a tough one. *Yuen chow special fried rice Fresh and full of specialness *Prawn Crackers Didn't like them but we very early do but a big bag. The veggies in the dishes were fresh and still crunchy. This was too much food for us, we have already decided next time we will have set menu for one with quarter of crispy duck, can't wait! P.S. I did take a picture but as I am the first to review I can't upload picture :

Fancied a Chinease takeaway all week and on Thursday I popped to may flower and ordered chicken fu young and egg friend rice was a lovely service very friendly and helpful and then I waited very quick service and left and had an amazing meal was delicious would defently go back again lovely :

We love the shredded chili beef and fried rice at this restaurant. The fast service and delicious food keep us coming back regularly. The only downside is that they only accept cash.

Food was hot, prompt and average price for around the area. Friendly front of house too which is a bonus. Would use again.
