Clay Cross is a former mining village and civil parish in the North East Derbyshire district of Derbyshire, England on the outskirts of Chesterfield. It is directly on the A61, the former Roman road Rykneild Street. Surrounding settlements include North Wingfield, Tupton, Pilsley and Ashover. There is an approximate population of 8,573.

Why am I describing this little village to you? Because I’m convinced that (as the post title suggests) it’s the fast food capital of England. Honestly, there are more takeaways and restaurants in this tiny village than I’ve seen in larger towns!! Not a week goes by where we don’t get a menu through the door from yet another new takeaway that’s opened and it’s always located in Clay Cross!

Take a look at the size of the place – googlemap of Clay Cross.

Now take a look at the list of fast food places/restaurants that I know of (and this is by no means the entire list!)

Bateman’s Mill
Clay Oven
Ed Nelson’s Diner
Blue Bell Inn
Massarella’s Restaurant and Coffee Shop
Moonlight Tandoori
Ocean City
Pappano’s
Paradise Tandoori
Wongs
Pirate Pizza
Kebab and Curry House
Chubbys
Five Star Pizza
Huang Ying
Lou’s Place
Honda’s Fishbar and Chinese Takeaway
Leon’s
The Oriental Pearl
The Cannon
Princes

I mean come on! How many places to eat out does a tiny village need? Does no-one cook their own food in Clay Cross??? I’d like to know how all these places survive, I really would!

Indeed it is! Maybe it’s time to revisit this post. I’m kinda partial to Chubby’s myself.

I have been a regular customer at Moonlight since they first opened. I have never had a problem, food has been to absolute perfection, delivery is always on time and the staff are a very friendly bunch. And yes i totally agree, the quality of the food along with the size of their portion is again to perfection. 01246 866966(Moonlight) .
