Laceby Chinese Take Away

Laceby Chinese Takeaway sits on Caistor Road, the main road that runs through the centre of Laceby — the village a short drive west of Grimsby on the A18 corridor. It is a small, well-regarded independent that trades on a strikingly tight set of hours: 5:00pm to 9:30pm, every day, with cash-only payment (there is an ATM next door for the rare customer who shows up without notes).

The kitchen sticks closely to traditional British-Chinese cooking — beef in black-bean and mushroom sauce, king prawn chop suey, sesame prawn on toast, sweet-and-sour pork and the usual chow-mein and curry sauces — but the praise it draws from reviewers is for the consistency and the portion sizes rather than the breadth of the menu. The shop sits high on the village ranking on the major review platforms and has built a regular following well beyond Laceby itself: customers from Healing and the Aylesby road drive in for collection. There is no dine-in service; everything is collection or delivery within the immediate Laceby radius. A genuine village Chinese with a serious local reputation.
