  “Food is good but the service is poor. Called to order and was told food would be ready for 7.15pm. Arrived on time and paid - they said cash only so just about managed to scrape together the money, as the cash point was out of service. No delay was communicated. Food was finally given to us at 7.50pm, 35 minutes later than we were told and only after I chased. We had two young children hungry and tidy, following a day out. It Is clear they don't understand the importance of giving accurate times. During our wait many customers walked in, ordered and were served food before us. We didn't have a complex order - clearly regulars were being treated preferentially. Furthermore, they have a card machine that sneakily appears on the counter for certain customers, again I assume regulars who are treated preferentially. In future il stick to Top wok.”

  “Worst customer service ever arguing and shouting at us when we explained the food was cold and brought it all back. Shaking with anger and arguing amongst themselves tried to charge us more money instead of issuing a refund. Recording our children when asked to delete refused and was very aggressive. Food was freezing and refried food”

  “We have been ordering food from here for the last 14 years, and have never had a bad experience. The food is fresh, flavoursome, and delicious. The customer service is excellent, often given us free prawn crackers, even on small orders. We would not go anywhere else.”

  “You know exactly where I'm coming from when I say that when you find a decent Chinese you're committed for life. Swallow Cottage is mine. Not only is the food exactly as good as you expect it to be, the people there are so lovely it's a legit joy to step foot through the door. The woman who works there, in fact, is the only individual who has ever refused a tip from me: "No, no no - if you enjoy the food, you come back. That's enough." If you can name three places who've ever hit you with that I'll buy you a meal. I live on a boat so I get around. But whether I'm just outside of Harborough or on the outskirts of Cov, unless I'm over an hour away I will go well out of my way to come here. Wonderful people. Edit: for whatever it's worth I'm a chef by trade, so if I eat from the same place twice it's no small thing - but the Satay Chicken is to die for. You can take that to the bank.”

  “Always had nothing but fantastic food. The odd time I have had to wait a little bit longer than I’d like, but apart from that it’s well worth the weight fantastic food, good prices, very friendly people”

  “Well what a let Down placed my order by phone and was told it would be ready for 9pm had to wait until 9.45. The curry had no taste to it the pork ribs and spring rolls was dry and over done most of it ended up in the bin. Use to be the best take away in Harborough years ago under the last owners ping I'm not going there again.”
