Nestled snuggly in Barrack Road, just off the Stoughton Road, sits a tiny little Chinese takeaway called Ho Ho. Ho Ho’s may be hidden away, almost unnoticeable unless you are specifically looking for it, but they have built a loyal regular clientele who are always happy to spread the word. With their fantastic menu and cheap prices, coupled with the wonderfully friendly service and prompt delivery times, Ho Ho’s truly is a gem among Guildford’s takeaway businesses.

One truly noteworthy section of their menu is the set meals. Whereas most takeaways (Chinese or otherwise) usually offer set meals of a higher price range, Ho Ho’s set meals begin at an incredibly generous £6.50. This includes a large helping of beef and mushrooms with gravy, sweet and sour chicken balls and egg fried rice. Though it perhaps sounds like an odd combination, the crisp chicken balls are complimented perfectly by the rich gravy and the rice on the side is the ideal addition to complete the meal. With three options for set meals for one person, Ho Ho’s offer various alternatives for two, three and four people, with many choices to decide from.

Their wide range of appetizers hosts something to suit any palate, and the butterfly king prawns are certainly recommended. Served with lemon wedges and fried to crispy perfection, the taste is both tantalizing and comforting, with the tender meat beneath the crunchy breadcrumb crust. At £5.00 these are perfect for sharing with a dash of lemon squeezed over them.

With Malaysian and Mandarin additions to the menu along with the familiar Chinese fare, Ho Ho’s even offers fish and chips under the name House House. This is honestly a takeaway with something to offer anyone, even offering a rich vegetarian section to ensure that no one is left out!

With delivery charges at £1 for orders over £18 (though delivery is not an option for under £18), Ho Ho’s does distinguish itself in that most Chinese takeaways offer free delivery over a certain price. However the friendly staff, whether you phone for delivery or go in for collection and their highly personable service make the extra charge well worth it. The delivery drivers are always very prompt and friendly and the food always arrives steaming hot, ready for hungry customers to tuck in!

Open from 5pm to 11pm Tuesday to Saturday and 5pm to 10:30pm on Sundays, the only day you will be out of luck if you fancy some of their delicious food is Mondays when they are closed. And the only postcodes that they are unable to offer delivery to are the GU3 1xx and GU3 2XX.

Whether you fancy popping in to pick up something yourself, or you’re having a lazy evening in getting it delivered, Ho Ho’s is certainly worth checking out. View their menu HERE, or call them on 01483 566405. For collection they can be found at 38 Barrack Road, just off of Stoughton Road.

Established in 1999 in the heart of Guildford, The Sizzling Wok strives to serve the local area with great food at affordable prices. The Chinese style takeaway is connected to The Boileroom music venue in Stoke Fields and provides food to eat in or take away. They aim to provide an excellent standard of service, whether your food is delivered, for collection or eaten at The Boileroom music venue itself. On top of that, you are assured prompt delivery, generous portion sizes and a high standard of food from The Sizzling Wok.

The menu, which you can check out online HERE, consists of a huge variety of traditional starters, mains, noodles, rice dishes and drinks. For example, you can chose between 10 different types of rice, from your regular steamed to the likes of Chinese mixed vegetable fried rice, or if you would prefer, then you have a choice of ten types of Chow Mein (Soft Egg Noodles), ten Udon Noodles (Japanese thick noodles), eight Cantonese Style Fried Noodles (rice noodle) or seven Chop Suey (beansprout) dishes. Or alternatively, you can share one of the starter House Platters which offer a variety of sesame prawn on toast, spring rolls, crispy seaweed, spare ribs, vegetable samosas and deep fried king prawns.

The chefs take great pride in sourcing the finest, fresh ingredients to create great tasting meals for customers. And their mains include curries, sweet & sour, chicken, king prawn, beef, lamb, roast duck & pork, seafood and Thai red and green curries. So you can order anything from Chicken with Cashew Nuts and Yellow Bean Sauce to Sweet and Sour King Prawn Cantonese Style, from Grilled Pork with Chinese Style BBQ Sauce to Roast Duck with Ginger and Spring Onions. Whatever takes your fancy, The Sizzling Wok has you covered!

Where possible the Sizzling Wok also offers vegetarian alternatives to traditional and exciting new dishes like the delicious Stir Fried Tofu with Hot and Spicy Szechuan Bean Sauce and Fresh Mushrooms or the Singapore Fried Noodles with Chinese Mixed Vegetables. For the health conscious or food allergy sufferers among their clientele, they also aim to offer lower salt dishes, MSG free, wheat free and vegan dishes as and when requested.
