Forbidden City Chinese Takeaway

Forbidden City is Cranleigh's established Chinese takeaway on Ewhurst Road, holding a five-star hygiene rating from its most recent inspection. The menu blends Cantonese and Szechuan influences across a wide range of dishes: the Peking set meal, crispy shredded beef and chilli beef are among the dishes cited most warmly by regulars, while the Szechuan-influenced preparations add heat and complexity for those looking for more than standard Cantonese. Generous portions and quick service are noted consistently in reviews. Parking in the immediate Ewhurst Road area can be limited, but collection remains popular for local customers. For a village of Cranleigh's size — frequently cited as the largest village in England — a Chinese takeaway with this level of consistency and hygiene rating is a genuine community asset, and Forbidden City has maintained that position for many years.
