Most Disliked
Some diners have pointed out that there can be longer wait times for food, occasionally exceeding 40 minutes. This can be challenging, especially during busy hours. While many love the takeaway option, a few have expressed a desire for improved delivery services; the diner currently does not offer delivery. Though the premises are accessible, limited seating can result in crowding during peak hours, which may detract from the dining experience. It’s advisable to call ahead and make a reservation during busy times to secure a table and reduce any potential waits.

Wow! My 12 Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls are massive and freshly made. They have a wide verity of food on their menu. Their prices are affordable as well. Their staff are very friendly and helpful. They also take card but a minute of £10. You can call and pre-order as well.

Trying a new Chinese takeaway is always risky business but I’m SO glad that we gave Happy Diner a try. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The crispy chilli beef was honestly the best I’ve ever had from a Chinese takeaway: proper crispy, so much flavour & really moreish. Portion sizes were generous and I felt that the prices were really reasonable. This was our first time ordering but it definitely won’t be the last - officially found our new local! Thanks so much, Ellie x

Ordered from Happy Diner a few times now, and always very pleased with the quality and quantity. Really good value for money! Stars of the show have been the salt and chilli ribs, the double roast pork in chilli sauce, the chow mein… everything really! Would be great if they did delivery but you can’t have it all. Recommended! 👍🏻

Great portion sizes, tasty food, good value, polite staff, and the prediction of how long the takeaway would take to prepare was on point.
