Mings

Mings is Epworth's long-standing Cantonese takeaway, working a High Street unit in the centre of the small Isle of Axholme market town that sits on the Lincolnshire-Yorkshire boundary. The shop trades the broad Cantonese list — salt-and-pepper and sweet-and-sour variations on chicken, beef and king prawn, the standard chow mein and chop suey pages, black-bean, satay and curry sauces, a long set-meals section for collection — alongside the chip-shop crossover sides that Yorkshire-border Chinese kitchens have all absorbed onto the board. The shop runs delivery and collection across a Monday-Friday evening window with collection-only on Saturdays — an unusual trading pattern that points to a stable, settled operation rather than a chase-the-trade aggressive shop. Reviewer comments across Yell, Facebook and the aggregator listings sit broadly positive, and the Food Standards Agency last inspected the operation in March 2024. Mings is the Chinese option within the Epworth takeaway cluster that also includes Benny's, Epworth Tandoori, China Palace, Curry Leaf and The Indian Summer.
