It's been a while, I haven't had one since new years eve and it's safe to say I am scandalised.....

For reference it was one bag of salt and pepper chicken balls with a bag of chips

One mixed meat satay with fried rice.

A tub of mixed ribs.

One tub of crispy seaweed but it's not seaweed.

£30
That would feed 3 in this house but I'd want some noodles.

Candymay · 27/05/2023 19:11

I’d guess £43

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 27/05/2023 19:12

£30 according to Justeat.

We haven't had Chinese takeaway for a couple of months and every time we go it gets more expensive.

I've just looked on the 3 menus we have and it ranges between £20 and £25. Pre covid it would have been about £17.

I also see on the newest menu that chips or boiled rice is 60 p extra when previously it used to be included.

But the OPs order would be plenty of food for 3 to 4 people as the portions are massive and come with free prawn crackers.

Even big eating DP can't usually eat a main and rice or chips unless he's been active and not really eaten all day.

tossingpenniesinthepool · 27/05/2023 19:14

£28 from our local

deflatedbirthday · 27/05/2023 19:14

Where do you all live?!!

Our regular order is:

Special satay (big tub absolutely stuffed to the brim - will do 4 portions easily)
Crispy chilli beef (as above)
Chips
Fried rice
Noodles and bean sprouts

£18.50 delivered.

On Tuesdays we can get a sharing box with fried rice, ribs, prawn toast, chips, spring rolls, chicken wings, chicken balls sauces etc. for £12 or two selected mains with one side for £12.

maddiemookins16mum · 27/05/2023 19:14

philipmccuntfield · 27/05/2023 19:14

Between £35 and 40 here

stupendous1 · 27/05/2023 19:16

Around £35 with delivery at my local

LivingDeadGirlUK · 27/05/2023 19:16

£30

Riverlee · 27/05/2023 19:16

I’m guessing £25-30 also.

Sparkletastic · 27/05/2023 19:17

£36

Iom92 · 27/05/2023 19:18

I’d guess around £30. That’s what it would be near me.

ChiChaNaYubi · 27/05/2023 19:19

About 30 quid

jaundicedoutlook · 27/05/2023 19:19

I’ve no idea and I’m. It sure the OP is going to put us out of our curiosity by exposing the scandalous cost of the local takeaway, but I’d guess about £30 or so and it has given me a massive craving for one - haven’t ordered Chinese in ages…! I’d have (not just for me!)

salt & chilli squid
chicken with cashew nuts
ginger & spring onion sea bass
cantonese beef

Generally make my own steamed rice. I’d also consider a chicken & sweetcorn soup if the local one didn’t come out a bit too thick for my liking.

Tequilamockinbird · 27/05/2023 19:20

Just priced on my local Chinese website - £27.40

CovertImage · 27/05/2023 19:20

God what a boring thread. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't pages and pages of "£30-£35 round our way"

namechange1986 · 27/05/2023 19:20

I'm in Scotland and would be £25 from one I usually use. It's def a cheap and cheerful rather than classy establishment right enough.

UndercoverCop · 27/05/2023 19:21

£35-£40 here some charge for delivery

ThreeRingCircus · 27/05/2023 19:21

I agree with about £30 to £35. Are you going to tell us OP?

MeinKraft · 27/05/2023 19:22

£26 plus about £3 for delivery

TheodoreMortlock · 27/05/2023 19:23

£36.20 down here for that lot from my local takeaway.

That's insanely cheap. Definitely not the norm in the U.K imo.
