“Great food, friendly people. I ordered a lot as my children came over and my regular takeaway was closed so was worried to try a new place but glad we did. Food was lovely portion sizes are good too. Many thanks.”

“After trying lots of different Chinese takeaways in Hastings/St Leonards we tried The Silver River, and this is our favourite to date. Staff were friendly, food was excellent and portions generous (especially the spring rolls).”

“First time using this Chinese takeaway, and I was very impressed. Nice warm greeting, I was also informed they have been here since 1970. To survive so long, is testament to the quality of food served. Sue was very funny, they're cash only and do not do delivery, Sue described themselves as traditional old school. Will definitely be using Silver River from now on. Excellent!”
