Golden Earl

The Golden Earl has served classic Cantonese-style takeaway from Market Street since at least the early 2000s, and the return of original ownership in recent years has been marked by renewed consistency in the kitchen. Customer reviews on Restaurant Guru and Google give it a 4.1 average, with recurring praise for fresh, well-portioned dishes, fast turnaround, and a menu accommodating gluten-free needs. Kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, and beef chow mein are the stalwarts, and regulars follow the daily specials posted to the Facebook page to catch more adventurous seasonal additions. The food hygiene inspection in March 2024 returned a Pass. For a village the size of Mid Calder, having a long-running Chinese takeaway a few doors down from Tonino's on the same short commercial strip represents a genuine local amenity.
