Cathay House

Cathay House on St Johns Street is a Chinese takeaway with an unusual addition alongside the main Cantonese menu: a fried chicken section offering chicken portions and a house speciality of jojo potatoes — a seasoned baked potato variant that has become something of a local talking point. St Johns Street runs through the western side of Godalming town, connecting the river area to the residential streets beyond. Customer reviews highlight the friendly and courteous staff alongside very reasonable prices. The dual-menu format — Chinese on one side, fried chicken on the other — gives Cathay House a broader appeal than a single-cuisine takeaway, drawing in diners who might otherwise go to separate establishments for each option. A practical, affordable and staffed-with-warmth local takeaway on a street that serves a loyal Godalming residential catchment.
