Special Offers from ORIENT chinese takeaway, Nantwich Road

Orient is the new chinese takeaway that opened on Nantwich Road at the end of 2009, in place of New Dragon House on 118 Nantwich Road. Each week, they are releasing special offers via text message and I'll post them here when they are received.

This week's specials.

New Pound Centre Shop to be opened soon in Crewe town centre

There is a new shop opening up in Crewe town centre. It will be located between Paperbox and Shoe zone on the Queensway shopping arcade. The insides are taking shape and the store is not far from opening.

The store will be a pound centre, likely to offer the same sort of goods as you'd expect from a pound shop. It is great news for the town and the new store will make up for losing the pound shop that was near to Asda.

Crewe Outdoor Market moves to Market Square

As I'm sure you're aware by now, Crewe outdoor market has been relocated to the aptly named Market Square. This is to allow it's former site, the Lyceum Square, to undergo renovation. Details of the renovation will be posted when available.

I visited the outdoor market today in it's new location and people seem happy enough. In addition to regular customers, the stalls now have the opportunity of pulling in erm... irregulars - people who wouldn't generally visit the outdoor market.

New Dragon House Chinese Takeaway Closes, Orient Opens

My favourite chinese takeaway has closed! New Dragon House on 118 Nantwich Road has changed hands and is now known as Orient. It is the third name in less than two years that it has changed hands. It was originally known as 118, before changing hands to become New Dragon House. If you have tried Orient, please leave comments below.
