Chows Eating House & Food Trucks

Chows Eating House & Food Trucks, 2026/27 Good Food Award winner – Gold Seal.

Chows Eating House & Food Trucks brings Chinese and Cantonese-inspired dining to The Parade in Parkgate, a popular spot overlooking the Dee Estuary. The restaurant is built around the tradition of sharing dishes, encouraging diners to gather around the table and enjoy a variety of flavours together rather than settling on a single main course. Its smart, contemporary setting makes it suitable for family meals, celebrations and evenings with friends, while its wider food-truck and catering offering extends the Chows experience beyond the restaurant. The combination of an established local following, generous sharing dishes and a setting beside the estuary gives it a distinctive place in Parkgate’s dining scene.

The menu is particularly strong on sharing platters and dishes that combine contrasting textures, from crisp coatings and tender meats to fragrant sauces and fresh vegetables. The signature Chows Dim Sum Platter brings together Kim Do spare ribs, salt-and-chilli king prawns, spring rolls, sesame prawn toast, special skewers, Korean-style chicken, seaweed and pickled cabbage. The aromatic Beijing-style crispy duck is another standout, served with pancakes or steamed bao buns, julienned cucumber and hoisin sauce; barbecued pork with bao buns offers a delicious alternative. For main courses, the kitchen serves Cantonese-style fillet steak on a sizzling platter, crispy lamb in black bean and chilli sauce, and steamed sea bass with ginger and spring onions on Chinese greens. Vegetarian diners have a dedicated menu featuring tofu with seasonal vegetables in black bean sauce, Kung Po vegetables, salt-and-chilli mushrooms and vegetarian Singapore-style vermicelli. A separate gluten-free menu is also available, with dishes prepared separately for coeliac diners.

Customer feedback reflects a restaurant with a strong local following, with recent reviewers praising the crispy duck, spare ribs, dim sum, sizzling dishes and attentive hospitality. Long-standing customers describe it as a favourite for celebrations, while others appreciate the presentation and the opportunity to share several dishes around the table. Overall, Chows Eating House & Food Trucks offers an extensive Chinese menu, distinctive sharing platters and useful vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Its emphasis on communal dining and its wider catering offering make it an established option for those seeking a sociable meal in Parkgate.
