China Cottage

Really good takeaway last night in Ambleside. Tasty food. We just had a couple of classic beef dishes which were done well. Salt and pepper ribs were great too! Would get another one next time we’re up.

We were lucky enough to be staying near to China Cottage on a recent holiday to Ambleside. We went in for diner one night, for amazing food and really friendly service. We liked it so much that we returned another 2 times that week for takeaway. Great vegan options, delicious tofu, very tasty sauces, quick service. Wish I lived nearer as I would eat here all the time.

Party of 5 ate in this restaurant and have to say the food was fantastic and plentiful.
Opted for the Jade Banquet for 5 and it was exceptionally good. All the dishes were beautifully cooked and were very good portions. No one left there hungry!
Highly recommended.

Nice Chinese restaurant at Ambleside. Good quality no fuss restaurant. The food was very tasty. We had takeaway. The lady was very nice. It has a nice decor and table service. Next time would return for a dine in.

The best Chinese food in Ambleside. Salt and chilli chicken is so good!

Could not fault the food or service
Excellent menu
Really quick
Nice touch was a new waitress and and tge owner helped her
This made me so happy as he cared
He also asked how the pineapple fritter was

The beef curry with noodles onion and beanspouts was a real treat

This was thd last day of our holiday and finished in style
Thanks for making such a treat an experience

Nice welcome greeting by the lady who served us. We had the diamond banquet and the food was delicious and a bargain, the interior may look a little like a cafe and some cosmetic issues here and there but don't let this put you off. Couldn't fault the food we had and service was top notch 👌

We booked on the day for 13 people. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly. I would definitely recommend this little restaurant 😻

Best food ever even gordan would be impressed
Good sizes

Had salt and pepper ribs, mixed meat satay sauce, king prawn spring onion and ginger, chips and egg fried rice.
Food was amazing, staff helpful and friendly. Good service.

I came here after my accomodation stopped serving food, and what a find! I opted for the specials menu, which has some traditional authentic Chinese dishes that have been translated to English. The Mapo Doufu (Chinese Szechuan tofu and ground pork in spicy sauce) was tantalisingly tasty. Doesn't look like much from the outside but the chef certainly knows what he's doing. One of the highlights of my trip to the Lakes!

The China Cottage, was just a 3 minute walk from our hotel (The Town House) in Ambleside, We love Chinese food, and the food here is excellent, good size plate servings and great service, highly recommend. It's not big, but very cosy and intimate.

Fresh and tasty main courses. Crispy duck starter was amazing. Good value for a meal in Ambleside. Recommend!

Good food, good service, value for money.

On holiday and staying local to this chinese. the best chow mein my husband and i have had (plain with beansprouts) and the chicken curry. friendly and freshly cooked. we landed up going here twice in 1 week ! definitely worth it.

Went to China cottage expecting average food and service but the food is great, the egg fried rice is fluffy and very fairly priced, we had the kung po chicken and the chicken chow main. After being served by a lovely lady who gave us free cutlery to go aswell as free prawn crackers. Definitely recommend 👌

Thank you!

Wonderful take away this evening….vegetable fried rice, beef in black bean and pepper sauce, salt and pepper chicken and crispy seaweed. The flavours were delicious and really can recommend China Cottage 🙂

We found this Chinese on our honeymoon last April. We walked past on our first night and decided to go somewhere else. The second night we were here we decided to eat here... best decision ever! We've returned for a couple of days and decided to come back here, and again not disappointed! The food is freshly cooked and delicious and the service is great! Totally recommend coming here if you're ever in Ambleside!

Absolutely delicious. The food was exactly how I like my Chinese. Chicken was crispy and very well done.

Really good food, very good service. We will definitely be going back
