Best Takeaways in Blyth

Blyth has a takeaway scene that punches well above what you might expect for a town its size. With over 21 takeaways covering Chinese, pizza, Indian, kebabs, and sandwiches, there's something for every craving and every night of the week. Six of those are Chinese takeaways alone, which tells you something about local appetites. Add in four pizza joints, a couple of Indian options, and a growing network of delivery platforms, and you've got a town that's well served when the kitchen's closed and the sofa is calling.

Here's our guide to the best takeaways in Blyth.

Tasty Wok

Tasty Wok is one of Blyth's most popular Chinese takeaways, and it's easy to see why. The menu is extensive -- covering all the classics from salt and pepper chips to crispy shredded beef, kung po chicken, and a strong selection of chow mein and curry dishes. Everything arrives hot, well-portioned, and consistently good, which is exactly what you want from a Chinese takeaway on a Friday night.

What sets Tasty Wok apart is the convenience. They have a proper online ordering system through their website, which makes the whole process painless -- no phone calls, no misheard orders, just click and wait. They offer delivery across Blyth and the surrounding area, and the turnaround time is reliably quick.

Best for: Extensive Chinese menu, online ordering through their own website, reliable delivery across Blyth.

Ken's Takeaway

Ken's Takeaway has built a strong reputation in Blyth through sheer consistency. It's one of the most highly rated takeaways in the area, and the reviews tell a clear story -- generous portions, well-prepared food, and the kind of quality that keeps people coming back rather than trying somewhere new. When locals are asked for a recommendation, Ken's is one of the names that comes up again and again.

The menu covers a broad range, and while it doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, everything is done properly. If you're looking for a dependable takeaway that won't let you down, Ken's is a safe bet.

Best for: Highly rated by locals, generous portions, and consistent quality that keeps regulars loyal.

Royal Garden Newsham

Royal Garden in nearby Newsham is another strong Chinese option and well worth the short trip if you're in the south end of town. The menu is traditional Cantonese-style Chinese takeaway done well -- spring rolls, sweet and sour, black bean sauce dishes, and all the staples you'd expect, prepared with care and served in generous portions.

Royal Garden has a loyal following in the Newsham and New Delaval area, and it's a reliable alternative if you fancy ringing the changes from the takeaways in the town centre.

Best for: Traditional Chinese takeaway in Newsham, loyal local following, generous portions.

Broadway Chippy

No takeaway guide for Blyth would be complete without a mention of Broadway Chippy on Broadway Circle. We've covered them in detail in our fish and chips guide, but the short version is this: outstanding chips, proper batter, excellent value, and a queue on Friday nights that tells you everything you need to know. If it's a chippy tea you're after, Broadway is the one.

Delivery Platforms

One of the advantages of Blyth's takeaway scene is the range of delivery options. Just Eat lists an impressive 315 restaurant and takeaway partners in the Blyth area, covering everything from the big chains to independent local spots. Uber Eats also operates in the area, giving you another route to your favourites.

For something more local, Blyth Eats is a community-focused delivery platform that works exclusively with Blyth takeaways and restaurants. Using a local service like this means more of your money stays in the town, and you're supporting businesses that are genuinely part of the community. It's worth downloading the app if you order regularly.

Tips for Ordering

Try the independents. The chains are fine in a pinch, but Blyth's independent takeaways are where the real quality lives. Give somewhere new a try -- you might find a new favourite.

Check opening times. Not every takeaway opens seven days a week, and some close earlier on quieter nights. A quick check online before you order saves disappointment.

Order direct where you can. Delivery platforms charge restaurants a commission, so ordering directly through a takeaway's own website or by phone means more of your money goes to the business itself.
