New Moon

New Full Moon — still listed by some as New Moon — is a long-running Chinese and Pan-Asian takeaway on Chestnut Avenue in Belper, set on the Parks Estate parade north-east of the town centre. It is one of the higher-rated Chinese takeaways in the Belper postcode, with the takeaway aggregators putting it at around four-and-a-half stars across more than ninety reviews.

The menu has broadened beyond the standard Cantonese list — Thai curries, satay dishes and pan-Asian options sit alongside chow mein, sweet and sour, curry, chop suey and the usual set meals. Customer reviews repeatedly call out the king prawns, the satay dishes and the consistency of the cooking — fresh rather than reheated, with timely delivery and friendly counter staff.

The shop is set up for collection and delivery within the local Belper radius and trades evenings only. It is one of the easier takeaways on the Parks Estate to deal with for special requests, with reviews flagging accommodating service on portion sizes and spice levels. Pricing is in line with the rest of the Belper Chinese takeaway range.
