New Golden Crown

New Golden Crown is a Cantonese takeaway on Bitton Park Road, set back from Teignmouth's town centre in a residential stretch rather than among the seafront restaurants. It is a cash-only operation, old-fashioned in the way a lot of long-running family takeaways are, and it has kept a loyal local trade doing the thing well rather than chasing trends.

The menu runs to the standard full range of Cantonese takeaway dishes, cooked to order for collection or delivery. One detail that sets it apart: on bank holidays, when delivery drivers are thin on the ground, the takeaway will call a taxi to bring your order out rather than leave you without options, though the taxi fare can run higher on those days. It is the kind of touch that explains why people keep going back to a takeaway a few streets removed from where the passing trade is.
