Lucky House

If you're after a decent Chinese takeaway in Southport town centre, Lucky House is well worth a look. It's got a solid 4.5 stars on Google from 84 reviews, which is a good sign. It's not a massive place, and it's more of a takeaway with a few tables than a full-on restaurant. So, probably better for a quick bite or a meal at home rather than a big family outing.

They do all the usual Chinese dishes – sweet and sour, chow mein, that kind of thing. It's pretty standard fare, but they do it well. I've always found the food to be fresh and tasty, and the portions are a good size. It's a good option for couples wanting a relaxed night in. It's not too fancy, but it's reliable.

They're open most evenings, but closed on Tuesdays. Opening times vary a little – earlier on Sundays, later most other days. It's probably a good idea to ring ahead on weekends, especially if you're planning on picking up a takeaway at peak times. The number is 01704 807860.
