Quick info
About Mayflower
Mayflower is a Chinese takeaway in Sheffield, at 182 Lane End, where orders are placed by phone because the business is not listed on delivery apps. Payment is cash only, which is worth knowing before you ring. The menu includes a one person special set dinner, crispy chilli beef and chicken balls, so a single order can be a full meal or a shared plate. Mayflower opens evenings only, Tuesday to Sunday, and closes on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise tasty food that arrives hot and fresh, with several calling it the best Chinese takeaway around. The one person special set dinner is described as gorgeous and so large it was hard to finish, and another diner's five dishes were ready quickly and made with quality ingredients. Fast delivery and orders that are never mixed up recur, and long-term regulars say it has been brilliant each time. One reviewer suggests ringing to order, since it is not on the apps. Complaints are scattered. One reviewer reports that a husband was ill through the night after the special fried rice. Another saw prices that differed from those shown online, and a visitor was put off that only cash was taken. A regular who says the food is spot on nine times out of ten finds the crispy chilli beef occasionally chewy and the chicken balls sometimes have undercooked batter.

“Ordered from here last night for the first time as our usual Chinese was closed, my husband had special fried rice and was up through the night vomiting and all today too. It must have been what caused it as we shared everything apart from the rice. Avoid at all costs.”
- Bailey Grain
“Had the one person special set dinner, and it was gorgeous. I struggled to finish it off there was so much food too. Will definitely come back. Only complaint was prices being different than what they were shown on here.”
- John Walsh
“Best chinese around, always hot, tasty and fresh!”
- LauraDrac
“Best Chinese around for sure and good value. 9 times out of 10 food is spot on and they never mess up the order. Only suggestions are to be more consistent with the chicken balls (sometimes batter undercooked) and occasionally the crispy chilli beef is a bit chewy.”
- Jeremy Hague
“Ordered 5 dishes which were ready in quick time, exceptionally tasty made with quality ingredients for 30 quid. Excellent!”
