Willington Chinese

Willington Chinese is the long-running Chinese takeaway on Twyford Road in Willington, the small Trent and Mersey Canal village west of Repton that sits at the southern end of the Derby commuter belt. It is the village standby — a collection-and-delivery kitchen serving Willington, Findern and the surrounding hamlets along the river plain.

The menu is the recognisable British-Cantonese list — chow mein, foo yung, curry sauce, sweet and sour, salt and pepper variations — with set meals for one, two and three to take the decision out of ordering. The shop trades late, with Friday and Saturday running past eleven for the after-pub trade from the Dragon and the Green Man on the village green. Reviews on Cylex and the local directories are favourable and consistent over time. There is no dine-in; phone orders run alongside online ordering and a short-radius delivery into Willington and Findern. The kitchen has held this site for years and is the only Chinese option in the village itself — the nearest serious rival is the Dragon Court in Repton across the canal.
