If that's the main road then yes... my knowledge of Highworth is limited to the chippy and the pitch and putt!

Decent Lardy from marshalls in pewsey
I think there is a Marshalls in Bassett too. The best fish and chips is York Road. The Frying Fish is also a good one, The Trident is overrated in my opinion.

Robin, who runs The Frying Fish, is having to move as his lease runs out at the end of the month, and it's not being renewed, so he's taking over the chippy in Gorse Hill by Iceland mid January
has this happened yet? had a look down there recently and couldn't see it...?

Shame the lease wasn't renewed. That plaice (sorry) was always busy, even more so on a match day

Somewhat off topic but is the chippy in Highworth still there. When I was a kid the only way they could get me to the dentist in Swindon (whilst my dad had moved to near witney we still went to Mr Smirles in old town) was a promise of a trip to the railway museum (the old one) and then chippy tea from Highworth!
Smarts? Now Turkish owned and not so nice.

Fish and chips is a strange one, the smell of a chip shop is revolting, even when I'm starving, but every now and then I get an urge for fish and chips, and always regret it afterwards, when I feel bloated and a bit sick.

See, I couldn't disagree any more, find yourself a decent chippy and there is nothing better than fish and chips, chuck a bit of curry sauce in and your laughing.

Agreed, I have to really be in the mood for a chippy, which doesn't happen much.
