About Mayfair Chinese
On Hoyland Rd in Barnsley, Mayfair Chinese is a Chinese takeaway that opens just one day a week, Wednesday. Orders are placed by phone or on a walk-in basis for collection or delivery, with pre-orders also taken over the phone ahead of time. The menu runs through Thai green curry, chicken curry, salt n pepper chips, Singapore chow mein, beef in black bean sauce, chow mein, and prawn curry, with meals commonly served alongside egg fried rice and chips. Delivery has reached customers within about 30 minutes. With trade concentrated into a single day, the shop runs collection and delivery orders together rather than offering table service.

Customer Review Summary
Beef in black bean sauce draws the strongest praise, with one reviewer calling it the best they've ever had for its generous portion and flavor. Close behind, diners repeatedly point to large portion sizes, describing meals with egg fried rice and chips that arrive too big to finish, and to delivery that comes quickly while still hot. Singapore chow mein gets mixed marks: one regular orders it specifically because it's consistently good, while another reviewer found the same dish very greasy with hardly any meat, and a separate order of prawn curry was criticized for having very little prawn and too much sauce and mushroom. A few also note the Thai green curry as tasteless and the salt and pepper chips as mostly just salt. One reviewer flags that two long-time favorite items have recently been dropped from the menu, and another describes being quoted 15 minutes for collection but waiting closer to 30.

“I've tried a few meals from the Mayfair. The Thai green curry was tasteless, the chicken curry was quite tasty but there was a lot of runny sauce. The chicken was nice, with a few bits of onion and peas. The salt n pepper chips had salt and not much else. So I only ever order Singapore chow mein which is good. I phone in and collect. They always say it'll be 15 minutes so I go to pick it up then have to wait another 15 minutes! Maybe they don't start cooking it until you've paid which I'd rather they told me this when i order it.”

“Disappointed! After reading the reviews we thought we would try it. The Chow mein was very very greasy, hardly any meat. Also a prawn curry with very little prawns, Lots of mushrooms and sauce. Not worth the money.”

“Mayflower are our Chinese of choice in our local area. We’ve tried a good amount and none come close. The food has always arrived quickly and is still warm. The quality of the meat in the dishes is beautiful. Never had a bad dish from them yet.”
