Raymonds Chinese Kitchen

Raymond's Chinese Kitchen on Alton's High Street is one of two Chinese-oriented operations at this central address, serving the north Hampshire market town from its position on the main retail and commercial strip. Alton is best known as the northern terminus of the Watercress Line — the Mid Hants preserved steam railway that runs through Ropley and Medstead down to Alresford — and the High Street is the commercial hub for a wide rural catchment stretching across the Hampshire downland from Medstead and Four Marks to Bentley and Chawton. The kitchen offers the Cantonese-influenced menu for collection and delivery across the GU34 postcode, serving both the town-centre population and the surrounding villages whose residents come to Alton for shopping and services. Alton punches above its size for independent food provision; Raymond's is one of its longer-established central options in a market town that continues to support a varied mix of independent restaurants and takeaways.
