Darwen, Chinese Restaurant Guide

Victor Yu’s “top-notch” Cantonese cooking has wowed visitors to his famous roadside converted Ribble Valley pub (with very bling interiors) for 21 years – “What a chef! And what a great team, the front of house is amazing”.

2024 Review: “Went here after reading Jay Rayner’s Nov 2022 review. Superb!” – this no-frills café near the Central Lancashire University campus (from Hong Kong natives Fai Tsang and her husband, Wai) is “very much a café rather than a restaurant but you can (need to) book”, thanks to brilliant Cantonese cooking that’s worth rolling up your sleeves for. Top Menu Tip – “The roast duck and siu yuk are delicious with the crisp skin contrasting the tender meat. Soy chicken is very flavourful and the brisket tender, tasty and well spiced”.
