New Lotus House

New Lotus House has fed Cranleigh for over fifty years — an extraordinary run for any independent takeaway — with the Lee family now in its latest generation behind the counter. Jeffrey Lee and his family continue a tradition of friendly, value-led Chinese cooking that the Cranleigh community has relied upon and recommended across five decades. The menu covers Chinese starters, chow mein, fried rice, curries and special set dinners, with chow mein and Chinese curry consistently highlighted as the dishes regulars return for most reliably. The kitchen closes Mondays and Tuesdays; it opens Wednesday to Sunday from early evening, with Sunday hours that make it one of the few Chinese options in the Cranleigh area on that day. A genuine community institution in a village that prides itself on being the largest in England.
