Keng's Garden is a long-standing Chinese takeaway on Wallisdown Road in Westbourne, on the western edge of Bournemouth. Rather than a sit-down restaurant, it's set up purely for delivery and collection, run from a modest shopfront and known locally for straightforward, generously portioned Chinese takeaway food.
The menu
Expect the classic British-Chinese takeaway repertoire, prawn crackers, pancake rolls and other starters, alongside mains built around roast duck, barbecued spare ribs, chicken, beef and vegetable dishes, plus the usual range of rice and noodle sides. Portions and prices change over time, so it's worth checking the current menu when you place an order.
Delivery and collection
Keng's Garden is geared up for both. Free delivery has been reported on orders over £10 within around three miles, with complimentary prawn crackers thrown in on bigger orders, handy if you're ordering for a group in Westbourne or nearby Wallisdown. Payment is flexible too: cash, card and PayPal are all accepted, with a discount sometimes offered for paying cash.
Good to know
The shop opens evenings only, broadly from around 5pm, closing somewhere between 10.30pm and 11pm depending on the day, reported hours vary a little across sources, so it's sensible to call ahead, especially late in the evening or for a larger order. Like many small independent takeaways, service can vary night to night, but it remains a fixture for Westbourne locals after a straightforward Chinese meal, delivered or collected without fuss.
