Tucked just off Castletown’s main square, Time Out is the original home of the island’s favourite noodle box — a street food gem that quickly won over the local crowd and inspired a growing brand now including Time Out Douglas and The Grandhouse. Ever since opening its doors, Time Out Castletown has been a go-to for bold Asian-inspired flavours, quick service, and satisfying custom meals tailored exactly to your taste.
The setup is fast, simple, and delicious. Step 1: choose your box size — medium or large. Step 2: pick your base — from fried rice, egg noodles, rice noodles, udon noodles, or the hugely popular salt & pepper chips. Step 3: top it off with your choice of flavour-packed proteins or veggie options. Whether you’re into crispy sesame chicken, sweet & sour prawns, teriyaki shredded beef, or garlic prawns, every combo is cooked fresh and made to order.
The topping list is long and creative — with something for everyone. Alongside the classics, you’ll find options like gluten-free chicken, tofu teriyaki, sweet chilli chicken, salmon teriyaki, and even sweet & sour salmon — all prepared with the same signature punchy sauces and high-heat wok flavour you’d expect from great street food. You can even go “just meat” on its own if you fancy a protein hit without the carbs.
Sides are another major draw, with extras like vegetable or beef spring rolls, hot wings, and chicken popcorn — ideal for sharing or topping up your box. Want something saucy? Choose a salt & pepper or peri-peri chip box, or go full-on indulgent with a side of curry sauce. Add a cold drink for £1.50 and you’ve got a full meal that’s hot, hearty, and full of flavour.
The appeal of Time Out Castletown isn’t just the food — it’s the speed, the friendly vibe, and the consistent quality. The staff work fast, the service is always upbeat, and the whole process is geared toward keeping things simple but satisfying. It’s a hit with everyone from students and families to Castletown office workers grabbing lunch on the go.
Although there’s no dine-in or delivery, takeaway is smooth and efficient, with plenty of regulars popping in multiple times a week. After all, when it comes to value, convenience, and flavour — this is where it all began.
Time Out Castletown remains the heart of the brand, serving up fresh, fast food done properly — no fuss, just bold, flavour-packed boxes made your way.
