Golden Garden

The Golden Garden is one of the long-running Chinese takeaways on Pelham Road in central Immingham, sitting on the same main arterial as Lucky Chinese and the Pizza Parlour. Unusually for the area, the kitchen extends beyond the standard British-Chinese template into Thai and Malaysian dishes, giving regulars a wider range than most of the surrounding town-centre takeaways.

The traditional Chinese side covers sweet-and-sour chicken in Cantonese-style batter, chow mein, foo yung, set meals and Cantonese-style curry. Reviews flag the special fried rice and the chow mein as house signatures, and the kitchen runs at a fair clip with prices around the £10 mark for most main dishes. Restaurant Guru and the regional directories aggregate the shop at around 4.1 to 4.2 out of 5 across more than 100 reviews — a strong score for the area — and the kitchen is open through to late evening every day of the week. Trade splits between delivery into the central Immingham postcodes and collection from the Pelham Road shopfront. A useful step up from the standard town-centre Chinese.
