I ordered a takeaway, the beef chow mein was 1st class, with a side order of spicy curry sauce and chips, there was plenty for two people. Takeaway delivered within 30 minutes, amd still fresh. I will be back!

GLUTEN FREE HAVEN. if you’re coeliac, gluten intolerant I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Had chilli beef, salt and peppers ribs, chips and it was elite. Wish I could go back tonight. Yum yum!

Excellent Chinese. We’ve struggled to find a decent Chinese takeaway since moving to Blackburn a couple of years ago. Really wish we’d tried Great Village sooner! Ordered from here four times now and each time everything has been spot on, including the duck which was cooked perfectly. Food is full of flavour, well priced and always good service too.

We found this place as they offered gluten free options for coeliacs and wow!!! The food was amazing and really accommodating when providing gluten free options for my dad who hasn’t been able to have a Chinese in over a year due to dietary restrictions. The food was so fresh and hot! I would definitely recommend- especially the salt and pepper ribs! X
