Tucked away in the charming riverside town of Bideford, East Of The Water Chinese Menu offers a hearty lineup of classic Chinese takeaway favourites that cater to both the traditionalist and the curious foodie. Located at 2 Barnstaple St, this small but mighty spot blends comfort food with authentic flavours, making it a go-to for locals seeking satisfying, well-prepared dishes.

From the first bite of their aromatic crispy aromatic duck to the generous portions of sweet and sour chicken, the menu is packed with all the expected staples-but done with consistency and care. Their chow mein stands out for its balance between texture and flavour, neither too greasy nor over-sauced, while their beef in black bean sauce impresses with tender cuts and a punchy umami profile. Portion sizes are notably generous, easily stretching into leftovers, which adds to the value proposition.

What sets East Of The Water apart from many competitors is the speed and friendliness of service, whether you're popping in to collect or calling for delivery. Their phone order system is straightforward, and dishes typically arrive hot and well-packaged-key details that elevate the overall experience. While the menu isn’t overloaded with adventurous or modern takes, its focus on getting the classics right is where it shines.

That said, some may find the décor and presentation rather modest, as this is more of a grab-and-go or cosy-night-in kind of place than a dine-in destination. But for what it offers-reliable Chinese takeaway that satisfies your cravings without breaking the bank-it does the job exceptionally well.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through Bideford, the East Of The Water Chinese Menu delivers flavourful comfort that’s hard to fault and easy to return to.
