Quick info
About New China Cottage
On Weedon Rd in Northampton, New China Cottage is a restaurant serving in the evenings only. It opens every day of the week except Tuesdays, giving diners a consistent window for a sit-down meal without a Tuesday option. The category places it among Northampton's evening dining spots, with the kitchen running through its service hours rather than across a full day. No specific dishes, drinks, or booking terms are listed, so the appeal here rests on the straightforward evening schedule and the address itself. Anyone planning a visit should note the Tuesday closure and the evening-only hours, since the restaurant does not open for lunch on any day of the week it trades.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the crab meat and sweetcorn soup and the king prawns Hong Kong style with mushroom rice, praising the food as fantastic and filling when it arrives as ordered. Several also note welcome vegetarian options and appreciate being asked whether they want prawn crackers rather than automatically getting them. Close behind, some praise quick, friendly delivery. But delivery reliability is a recurring sore point: multiple reviewers describe waits stretching to two hours, food arriving cold, and no apology offered when it does. One diner was told an order wasn't even cooked yet despite the app marking it delivered, and another says a delivery driver couldn't find the address, leading to the order being cancelled outright. One reviewer also says a meal received was not edible and was met with a blunt response rather than an apology. A separate reviewer reports that tips added at checkout for the delivery driver do not actually reach the driver.

“Been ordering from here for 3 years. Just discovered that when your asked if you wanted to top the delivery driver (which I do), the driver doesn’t get the money. AWFUL MISREPRESENTATION”

“Have always used China Cottage in past which has been good. I received my order on this occasion but unfortunately was not even edible. I called China Cottage immediately with my concerns to be told maybe different chef tonight but no apologies and blunt confrontation. Will NOT be using again!!!!”
