Tucked away in Rushden, Oriental Gourmet has been quietly dishing up Chinese classics that locals return to time and again. The kitchen takes its hygiene seriously, earning a solid Food Hygiene Rating that reflects the care put into every order.

The cooking here leans into bold flavours and honest ingredients — think sweet and sour chicken balls that actually have crunch, or chow mein packed with plenty of veg and protein. Their salt and pepper chips have developed a bit of a following among regulars, while the curry sauce is rich enough to coat every last grain of rice. If you're after something mild, the special fried rice delivers without overwhelming. Order direct and you'll see why this Rushden staple keeps its loyal customers coming back for more.
