About The Peninsula
The Peninsula is a Chinese takeaway on Chillingham Road in Heaton, describing itself as a Cantonese and Szechuan kitchen. It operates on a collection and delivery basis rather than as a sit-in restaurant, serving the surrounding Heaton streets and nearby postcodes. A well-established fixture on Chillingham Road, it is a reliable local choice for a Chinese takeaway.
The menu centres on classic stir-fried dishes, including dry-fried chicken and beef in curry spices, Thai-style green curries and stir-fries with king prawns, chicken and vegetables, alongside seasonal vegetable and mushroom options. Delivery is available within a set of local postcode areas, and orders can also be placed through the takeaway's own mobile app for Apple and Android devices.
