New Full House

Derby's Chinese food scene has a quiet champion in New Full House, a takeaway that understands the art of the stir-fry. This isn't a place for fussy plating or overcomplicated menus – it’s about honest, deeply savoury cooking that arrives with the kind of confidence that only comes from years of practice. The kitchen here knows exactly what they’re doing, and it shows in every order that goes out the door.

Their chow mein is a masterclass in wok hei, that elusive smoky char that transforms simple noodles into something special. The curry dishes are equally well-judged, with a rich, aromatic sauce that clings to every piece of meat and vegetable. Whether you're after a quick lunch or a proper evening meal, this is Derby Chinese cooking at its most satisfying. Order directly and you'll be eating well within the hour.
