Enjoyed a fabulous takeaway from The Courtyard on a Friday night at 7pm. The order took just 25 mins. As we were staying near Pooley Bridge we transported our takeaway in an insulated cool bag. It was still piping hot and absolutely delicious. Thank you Courtyard - we will be back 🤩

We were staying in a hotel in Penrith and had an overpriced and over rated meal the night before, so went to the courtyard on a whim. Great service from friendly and down to earth staff (particularly Rowan). The food was amazing with the crisp lamb being a highlight; never had lamb in a Chinese but it was awesome! Food was plentiful and really good value. The drinks were also great value. All in all, the best food of our 3 days here in Penrith.

Unfortunately, I cannot knock the food, only highly recommend it to all in terms of taste and quantity, we have enough for two days. I had the Chicken Curry with Egg Fried Rice, finally a place that makes chicken curry that actually has a curry taste (last 2 places, a sauce with heat added, but no curry taste). NOW TO THE BAD PART: We ordered Take Out, and I am used to giving numbers which eradicates mistakes, but the local girl (not oriental) was either having a bad night, or comes with attitude. When trying to give my order it was met with 'well that's no good to me' (with attitude), £57.90 order nearly walked out the door if not for a oriental member of staff intervening, especially at the point of being unable to use a calculator to work out the cost of my order, the oriental woman took the calculator off her and in less than 10 seconds, was spot on with order total, the girl had created the atmosphere with her attitude, which was clearly there also with the oriental woman towards her with the calculator issue, (best thing for the business, get rid of the girl). Food is 5 Star (taste) Service 4 Star (saved by oriental member of staff) Atmosphere 1 Star (due to attitude of local girl) Highly recommend food to all, be aware main dishes come in larger foil containers than rice dishes.

This is a very nice centrally located Chinese restaurant, they offer both take-away and dine in services. The seating area is on the smaller side but that didn't make it any less enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly and we were well taken of. At first I thought that prices were higher than normal. However, given the size of the portions the price was very reasonable. If you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy an evening meal after a day of visiting the Lake District this would not go amiss!

Good authentic Chinese food and very tasty. Served by friendly students earning a little cash to help with their education. Well worth a visit, prices are perfectly acceptable.
