Golden Dragon on Alexandra Road, Swadlincote offer a variety of Chinese, English and Cantonese dishes that are both reasonably priced and very tasty!
We usually tend to stick to certain dishes that we know and love although quite a lot of the menu has been covered and there isn't much that I haven't enjoyed.
My girlfriend is a big fan of the 'Wandering Dragon' dish which is a mixture of King Prawns, Chicken and Vegetables in a Cantonese style Oyster Sauce.
I am particularly fond of the Sweet and Sour Chicken (Cantonese style) dish as the consistency of the chicken is nice and is served with sliced carrots, pineapple and a lovely sweet and sour sauce coating that has a nice texture and isn't too overpowering.
The Chow Mein is available in several variations including Beef, Pork, Chicken, Mushroom and even a House special!
The set menu's are also good value and well put together so that most people will like almost everything on them.
Takeaway deliveries can be ordered between 17:15 - 23:00 and delivery is only £1.00 if you live within a reasonable radius.
Despite a previous review advising that some of their dishes contain 'SPAM' I am not quite sure what was meant by this as the meat is actually real cuts and not a processed cheap substitute which other local takeaways use.
I would definitely recommend this establishment as an excellent option for really nice food and generously sized portions.
The amount of dishes and variety on the menu is very impressive and gives the impression that the chef(s) are both knowledgeable and of a good standard. read more
