Lucky Days

Lucky Days is one of Retford's long-established Chinese takeaways, occupying a Bridgegate shopfront a short walk from the Market Square at the centre of the Bassetlaw market town. The shop has been part of central Retford's evening rota for over nine years and has built a steady reputation as a phone-order and online-order operation with collection and local delivery — no dine-in seating. Reviewers on Tripadvisor, Cylex and Restaurant Guru consistently praise the food as plentiful, hot and well-cooked, with the standard British-Cantonese sweet-and-sour, crispy duck, salt-and-pepper and chow-mein dishes singled out for portion size and consistency. Trading runs evenings only across six or seven days a week from 5pm to 11pm, including Bank Holidays, which makes the shop a useful late option for the central Retford pubs and the residential streets around Bridgegate. The Market Place sits a couple of minutes' walk to the south, and Lucky Days handles a steady flow of Friday and Saturday collection through into the late evening.
