Tasty House

A short walk from Ferryhill's parish church, Tasty House runs as one of two long-standing Chinese takeaways on the Main Street parade — sitting almost opposite the Evergreen Chop Suey House and giving the small town an unusually competitive Chinese-takeaway market for its size. The kitchen runs the standard Cantonese repertoire: sweet-and-sour variations, salt-and-pepper sections, the shredded-chicken and chow-mein range, plus the chip-shop crossover sides that account for the bulk of working-week orders in this part of County Durham. Aggregated reviewer scores sit comfortably in the high-3s to 4 range across the platforms, and the shop holds a 5-star (Very Good) Food Hygiene rating from its most recent Durham Council inspection — a useful baseline given the broader variability of the area's small-town takeaway sector. The trading website at tastyhouseco.com handles direct online orders, and the shop sits a short walk from the Main Street bus stops that connect Ferryhill to Spennymoor, Chilton and Bishop Auckland — giving Tasty House a steady collection trade alongside its local delivery footprint into the surrounding Dean Bank, Broom and Ferryhill Station estates. Under settled ownership, the operation has built up the kind of regular weekday trade that long-standing Chinese takeaways across the Durham coalfield rely on.
