Located close to the Derngate Theatre as well as the main shopping hub of Northampton, it’s perfect for shoppers and theatre-goers as well as tourists and residents.

Felix, the restaurant owner, has years of experience preparing and cooking Chinese food, which he has combined with his love for local produce to create an authentic and innovative menu that puts a twist on traditional Chinese dishes. Felix began his culinary journey as kitchen porter at the tender age of 14 and progressed rapidly to become the youngest Head Chef at Hong Kong’s famous Kowloon restaurant just 6 years later. Arriving in the UK in 1980, he also enjoyed stints working at the prestigious Zen Central, Shanghai, and the Pearl in Knightsbridge and Mayfair before making Northampton his home in 1992. In 2008 he opened the doors to Felix Yu, the restaurant, which is renowned as one of the finest Chinese restaurants in the county.
