Oriental Takeaway

Oriental on Park Street has been one of Alfreton's longer-running Chinese takeaways, just off the main King Street/Nottingham Road junction and a short walk from the railway station. The kitchen ranges across Chinese, Cantonese and Thai — set meals built around sweet and sour, kung po and curry sauce dishes, with green and red Thai curries and pad thai sitting alongside the more familiar chow mein and fried rice. Online ordering through the shop's own site is card-only.

For locals it's the practical Park Street alternative to the pizza-kebab cluster on the High Street: collect-and-go is well organised and the kitchen is set up for short-notice weekday orders as much as weekend volume. The shop closes on Tuesdays (open on bank holidays) and trades later on Fridays and Saturdays, which roughly matches the working pattern of most Amber Valley town-centre Chinese takeaways. Worth knowing if you're heading home through Alfreton in the evening.
