About Asterbourne
Asterbourne is a Chinese takeaway at 59 Coppins Rd in Clacton On Sea. Vegan requests are accommodated, with that food cooked in fresh vegetable oil, which gives vegan customers a clear option when ordering. The menu lists pancake rolls, chips, prawn balls and chicken balls, plus curry sauce. A set chicken meal for 2 is available for a shared order, so two people can eat from one set meal. The premises are simple and plain-looking, and the business puts its menus through local doors as leaflets.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers praise tasty, piping hot Chinese food, with the pancake rolls described as packed and the biggest one diner has had. Close behind are the chicken and prawn balls and chips, called crispy rather than soggy or greasy, and a curry sauce that one reviewer says complements the dishes. A first-time customer received a set chicken meal for two that arrived fast and hot, and a diner who travels from Kirby le Soken says the food keeps them coming back. Friendly staff and quick delivery come up repeatedly. One vegan customer describes a phone call to talk through options and an order cooked in fresh vegetable oil. The recurring complaint is flavour and quality from a minority: one reviewer called a delivery disgusting and said never again, and another found the food okay but bland. Against that, one household liked the food enough to order twice in a single weekend.

“The food was okay and bland but what really builds this bad review is that my food had over 4 strands for hair in it and I nearly swallowed one and choked on it. Sort it out as this is very unhealthy and I ended up becoming sick.”
