Helyen Take Away Food Shops

Hel Yen is the Chinese takeaway on the Market Place in Castle Donington, the historic East Midlands Airport town with its central market square dating back to the original market charter. The shop occupies a small unit on the village core, a short walk from the parish church and the war memorial.

The board is the recognisable Chinese list with starters, soups, chop suey, chow mein, curry, fried rice, chicken, beef, duck, pork and seafood sections — broader than the village-takeaway norm — alongside sweet-and-sour and a set-meal arithmetic. The kitchen scored 5 from North West Leicestershire District Council on its most recent food-hygiene inspection. Trading is evenings only with a late shift — Wednesday through Saturday running to midnight, which picks up the airport-fringe trade and the late drinkers from the village pubs (the Cross Keys, the Britannia). Tuesday is closed for the kitchen's night off. The shop is on Deliveroo alongside phone collection. Hel Yen is the central Chinese in Castle Donington, holding the village-core trade against the larger Donington Park hotels and the chain operations out by the airport.
