New Royal Grand - Bassetlaw

We have had some excellent food from the Royal Grand in the past however the last couple of orders have been pretty horrible. Last night we had a beef fillet with green pepper in back bean sauce that was virtually inedible as it was heavily loaded with salt. The so called 'fillet ' was very tough and I would hazard a guess and say that it was not fillet. Bearing in mind the fillet version is much more expensive than the normal beef this is not acceptable. In the past we haven 't had a problem with this and it was definitely fillet but not this time. The sweet and sour chicken batter looked and tasted like the batter had been cooked or heated up several times it was not the colour or taste you would expect from freshly cooked batter. Overall, not a very pleasant experience and i thin we 'll be looking for an alternative take away next time.

Of the 3 places on/around Scrooby Rd after trying them all, this is the 1 we go to every week for takeout. We haven't yet been to eat in but the restaurant looks very nice. Decor, cleanliness etc. They are always very nice and friendly when we collect our meals. Pricing is very good. . They have a larger than normal selection on the menu and the food is much nicer than nearby rivals

We rarely go out for a meal as a family, but we’re glad we did this evening. It was our first visit to New Royal Grand Chinese Restaurant and it will not be our last. We ordered four Happy Meals (one starter, one main course at £7 per person). Starters were great and we were rather expecting small mains because of the special price but how wrong we were! When the children’s Chicken Fried Rice came out, each plate was piled with food. My husband and I had Sweet and Sour Cantonese Chicken and Chicken in Blackbean Sauce, both with fried rice all dishes were full of freshly cooked vegetables. We had China tea or juice for drinks plus a bowl of prawn crackers. We actually took away three tubs of leftovers. The quality was lovely, just what you’d expect and need from a local restaurant. Total for the four of us was £36.50. Such a nice meal with friendly staff. The decor is a little faded and very plain, but they have a 4/5 Hygiene rating and the place is clean, warm and bright. Well done.

The oil used to fry the food must have been months old! We couldn’t eat it at all! All the food we ordered was so dark in colour the noodles gloopy and everything tasted burnt

Eaten a few times from here but sadly will be the last. Food was nearly an hour late and Luke warm. I had the Tom yum soup and lemon chicken from here for the first time, it wasnt amazing but wasn't the worst I'd had. within a few hours of consuming the food I developed terrible stomach cramps and diarrhea along with vomiting. I was up all night and a day later I still have the symptoms. It's awful. I hope the establishment takes note of this and looks into how the food was prepared/kept and the hygiene of the kitchen on the 31/10/2020 so this can be avoided in the future.
