Canton Chop Suey House

Canton Chop Suey House has been trading on Middlethorpe Road in the southern residential pocket of Cleethorpes for 42 years and routinely tops the Grimsby Telegraph's Chinese-takeaway reader-poll rankings — the shop describes itself as Cleethorpes' number-one Chinese takeaway and the verdict from the wider local press tends to back it up. It is one of the most recommended Chinese kitchens in the borough, full stop.

The kitchen runs an unusually broad Hong Kong/Cantonese-led board — sweet and sour chicken, beef with broccoli, shrimp fried rice and the long Anglo-Cantonese set-meal column sit alongside more specifically Hong Kong-style dishes and a noticeably stronger duck and seafood section than at the parade average. The Tuesday and Thursday "specials deal" of four dishes for £13 is a long-standing offer that the regular customer base orders to.

Reviews on TripAdvisor and Sluurpy put the shop firmly at the top of the central Cleethorpes Chinese ranking — praise for freshness, presentation and the friendly counter service is the recurring pattern. Opening is evening-only and runs through to roughly 11pm. The Middlethorpe Road position is residential rather than high-street, which means the trade is firmly phone-and-collect and short-radius delivery rather than walk-in browsing.
