Eastern Delight

Eastern Delight on Bear Street is a Chinese takeaway serving freshly cooked dishes to the east Barnstaple residential area, with evening opening and local delivery. The menu covers the full Cantonese range — chop suey, chow mein, sweet and sour, black bean and house specials — with dishes priced accessibly at around £4 each. Customer reviews describe food that arrives hot and well-seasoned, though consistency has been noted as variable. The kitchen runs into the late evening. Bear Street is within walking distance of Newport Road and the eastern suburbs, making Eastern Delight a neighbourhood staple for those who prefer Cantonese cooking over the Indian and Turkish alternatives nearby.
