Diamond City

Diamond City is the central Chinese takeaway on Askern's Market Place, the small parade that anchors the village centre a short walk from the lake. The kitchen runs the Cantonese repertoire that the area expects from a Doncaster village Chinese — salt-and-pepper variations, sweet-and-sour dishes, the standard chow-mein and curry range and the chip-shop crossover sides that fill the late-evening orders. Reviewer scores aggregated through Restaurantji and Restaurant Guru sit at the higher end of the local cluster, with the chicken chow mein, the barbecue sauce dishes and the salt-and-pepper range repeatedly named in the photo reviews. The shop was awarded the top five-star food-hygiene rating by Doncaster Council in July 2024. Online ordering runs through the shop's own site at diamondcitychinesetakeaway.co.uk, which sits outside the Just-Eat commission structure and tends to be cheaper for the regulars who order direct.
