Quick info
About Gorse Hill Chinese
Gorse Hill Chinese is a Chinese takeaway on Cricklade Road in Swindon, run for collection and delivery with no seating on site. The kitchen covers a familiar takeaway spread, with chicken fried rice, fried mixed vegetables and orange fried chicken among the regulars, alongside large portions of chips. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, and the service runs late into the evening. Customers receive a Christmas gift each year, a small yearly gesture that has been part of the setup for a long stretch of repeat trade. Delivery reaches the surrounding streets.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the takeaway food, singling out chicken fried rice, fried mixed vegetables and orange fried chicken, and several describe friendly staff and years of repeat custom. One mentions a Christmas gift every year, and another got a late-night order served well. The one caveat comes from a loyal customer who says the large chips have shrunk to about two handfuls for the price.

“I almost dont want to leave a review so people dont crowd this place. Its a 10/10 take away. Its the best in Swindon, better than sit down resturants. I went at 10:45PM and the food and service was a 10. My usual place was closed as it was so late. So glad I stopped”

“As a Chinese descendant myself, this place is a certified banger. The two aunties there are lovely and so sweet. Get anything food wise, I have explored the menu thoroughly and they all slap as hard my grandma when I was a only wee lad. 10/10”

“We have always been very loyal to gorse hill chinese their services and food is extremely good and we have never had any issues however we have noticed that the large chips seems to be getting smaller and is more like a small (about 2 hand fulls) especially for the price, compared with other chip shops which is a shame, but with that said we will continue to get our takeaway here but maybe go elsewhere for the chips🤔”

“Been having takeaways from here for years. The food is always great. The staff are very friendly. Will carry on using”
