Allergen labelling on Chinese takeaway menus.
UK Chinese takeaway customers increasingly expect clear allergen information. Chinese cuisine regularly uses peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, soy, sesame, gluten and celery, all of which are among the 14 allergens regulated under UK food information law. We label menus with the correct symbols for each dish so your customers can order safely and your business stays compliant.
Send us your allergen data alongside your menu content and we integrate the symbols cleanly into the layout without cluttering the visual design. Vegetarian (V) and vegan (VG) symbols are included at no extra charge.
Chinese takeaway menu printing across the UK.
We print Chinese takeaway menus for restaurants and takeaways in every UK city. Heaviest demand comes from London (Chinatown in Gerrard Street and Soho, as well as East London and Cricklewood), Manchester's Chinatown on Faulkner Street, Birmingham's Chinatown in the Southside, and Liverpool's Nelson Street Chinatown.
Independent Chinese takeaways and chip shops with a Chinese menu across Yorkshire, Lancashire, the Midlands, South Wales and central Scotland make up the bulk of our weekly print volume. Free UK delivery means a Chinese takeaway in Aberdeen pays the same delivery cost as one in London: nothing.
Chinese takeaway menu printing FAQs
Common questions from UK Chinese takeaway and restaurant owners.
How much does Chinese takeaway menu printing cost in the UK?
A4 Chinese takeaway menus cost £425 for 10,000 copies, printed full colour CMYK on 130gsm gloss both sides. A5 menus start at £200 for 10,000. Free design, free Chinese script typesetting, and free UK delivery are included on every order.
Can you typeset Chinese takeaway menus in Simplified or Traditional Chinese?
Yes, we typeset Chinese takeaway menus in both Simplified Chinese (used in mainland China) and Traditional Chinese (used in Hong Kong and Taiwan) every week. Send your dish names in your preferred script and we handle the layout, font selection, proofing and print-ready PDF. No extra charge.
What size works best for Chinese takeaway menus?
A4 double-sided is the standard for UK Chinese takeaway menus. It fits 60 to 100 dishes across starters, soups, mains by protein, noodles, rice and sides without crowding. Large Chinese restaurants with extensive dim sum menus use A4+ extended or A3. Compact menus under 40 dishes use A5.
How often should a Chinese takeaway reprint its menu?
Most UK Chinese takeaways reprint every 4 to 6 months for door drop campaigns. High-volume restaurants in London, Manchester and Birmingham reprint quarterly. Plan reprints ahead of Chinese New Year, allowing 2 to 3 weeks lead time as demand spikes in January and February.
How long does Chinese takeaway menu printing take?
3 to 5 working days from artwork approval to your door. The full cycle takes 5 to 10 working days from first contact: 1 to 2 days for design, 1 to 2 days for proof revisions, then 3 to 5 days for offset litho printing and free UK delivery.
Do you include allergen information on Chinese takeaway menus?
Yes, we include allergen symbols for all 14 UK-regulated allergens including gluten, nuts, shellfish, soy, sesame and celery. Chinese takeaway menus often require peanut, shellfish and gluten labelling. UK food information regulations require accurate allergen disclosure on every printed menu.
Do I pay VAT on Chinese takeaway menu printing?
No, printed Chinese takeaway menus are zero-rated for VAT under HMRC's VAT Notice 701/10 on printed matter. The price you see is the price you pay, no VAT added. Always confirm with your accountant for your specific business setup.
