Decent places to eat, near/around Swindon?

[Pulse]

Anyone got any recommendations? Particularly chinese/curry, as that is what the OH prefers.

We normally go

or here - http://www.themaharajah.co.uk/


But just wondering if anyone else has any ideas?

Cosmo in town - chinese, japanese, wide selection and reasonable price

Chinese Experience A.K.A The Pagoda in Peatmoor

Thai Orchid in Victoria Hill - Old Town


Oh curry too!

Spicy Bites - Victoria Hill - diagonally opposite The Vic - cheap, cheerful, service is second to none and a giggle

Biplob - next to McKenzies in Old Town - slightly more upmarket

Jewel in the Crown - proper traditional curry house with chandeliers and everything!

The Three Crowns, Brinkworth.

Best place i have found around the area, amazing food.

Plus a nice little drive to get there

3 Crowns is great - 5 Christmas parties in a row!
I would also highly recommend the Foxham Inn in Foxham. Only slightly further away. Neil and Sarah catered for our wedding and it was absolutely brilliant.

Totally agree, that and the Pear Tree - if I'd known how good their cheese trolley was I wouldn't have bothered with the main course :P

Judging by the OP's query though, I wasn't sure whether he wanted upmarket english/french fare.

To be honest I missed that bit, but hey good food is good food and it doesn't come much better than the three crowns

Picklejohn's in Old Town is good for a curry.

Planet Bollywood on Cricklade road Gorse hill is possibly the best Indian in town there is.

Of you could always try and get into Three crowns in Brinkworth (if you can get in)

Three Crowns now take bookings for tables before 7:30pm! Cracking place - always got a wide variety of dishes (had Impala there last week!)

I'd agree with the Pear Tree too - always excellent.

Biplob in old town is pretty good for curry (though that's usually beer-impaired)

As for others, we often end up in Fabios in old town for Italian and there's also a decent (if small) tapas place in old town (the name of which I can't remember).

Colley's supper rooms in lechlade is also excellent: anywhere that does a syrup sponge so massive that it looks like it was baked in a builders mixing bucket can't be bad!

hmmm, getting hungry now...

My place, I'm cooking steak for tea tonight!
