About PhatChows
A New Chapter - Same Spirit
We made our comeback in Rochdale, and now we’re bringing the same energy to Altrincham! Some might remember us as WowYauChow, but this time it’s all about PhatChows — fast, fresh, fun and casual. It’s the food you love, just a little more laid back.
Restaurant Taste. Takeaway Prices.
At Phat Chows, you get proper restaurant flavour — at takeaway prices. We’ve redesigned our menu so you can enjoy more variety without the full-size portions.
Start by choosing 1 of our great value Combo Meal Deals, which includes a drink, and then top up and load up your meal from the "Build Your Own" menu options.
You can now Build your own Chinese Tapas — ordering by pieces 2, 4 or 6 — each choice gives you two pieces of your Chinese faves, so you can mix, match and try a bit of everything - share if you want, but now you don't have to!
And there’s no service charge — we’d rather let you decide if the team’s earned those tips.
Your way - everytime!
We’ve made ordering super simple. Scan the QR code on your table, head to a self-service kiosk, or just order at the bar — whatever works for you.
No need to wave someone down for another drink or hang around waiting for the bill — everything’s in your hands, at your pace. Grab a seat or take it to go — everything’s cooked fresh and ready fast.
All Day Deliveries at PhatChows.com
Eating in is always the best way to enjoy PhatChows — fresh from the kitchen, just as it should be. But if you can’t join us, we’ll come to you.Order online at PhatChows.com and get your favourites delivered all day, straight to your door. Same great taste, zero effort.
PhatChows - Fast. Fresh. Fun. Casual
#NotYourStandardChinese - Modern Chinese. Local vibes. Always your way.
Rochdale Update
Know someone who should be running their own restaurant? Share this with them — and if they successfully take over a site, we’ll shout you a £100 PhatChows tab as a thank-you.
Due to our growth plans for 2026, we’re opening up a rare opportunity for an experienced hospitality operator to take over a fully built, already trading PhatChows restaurant in Altrincham or Rochdale.
✔ No heavy start-up build costs
✔ Established brand, systems & menu
✔ Full training + ongoing Head Office support
✔ Immediate opportunity — ready to trade
This is for hands-on operators who want real ownership, responsibility, and growth — and the chance to join us early as we scale something exciting, proven, and ready.
Not a blank-canvas gamble. A real business, ready to run.
If you’ve got hunger, drive, and sufficient working capital, we’d love to hear from you. headoffice@phatchows.com
Hospitality experience required.
Once these sites are taken, future partners will need to build and fund from scratch.
Updated menus at Altrincham 🍜
Some of the changes we’ve introduced have been really popular, while others told us the menu had too many choices — so we’ve listened and refined it.
Here’s our latest, clearer menu: focused, comforting, and built for how people actually order.
Chinese Comfort Food - Eat in · TakeOut · Delivery
Head to PhatChows.com to reserve your table or place your TakeOut order online.
This hasn’t been an easy decision, but after a lot of thought, we’ve decided to temporarily pause PhatChows Rochdale after Sunday 18th January.
We’ll be open as usual this week, from Thursday to Sunday, and then we’ll pause while we take the time to reset and plan what comes next. If you’ve been meaning to pop in, we’d love to see you before the pause - so reserve your table or order a takeout at PhatChows.com
PhatChows continues at Altrincham, and we’ll share updates on Rochdale when we’re ready.
