I recommend the Fat Dog for a slightly cheaper meal than the Brewhouse I've yet to try the Brewhouse, it looks good. http://www.thefatdog.co.uk/Also never realised Leefer was that, um, mature  ------ On topic, never been a fan of that kind food Leefer so my opinion is open a Nandos instead. agreed, could never find a chippy in swindon that was really good. best I've had is from laughing halibut in Westminster but there must be better somewhere??
I tried Simms just after they won an award. Thought they were very average. I know there must be a few about around here somewhere but loved it in Australia where you selected your fish and they cooked it fresh for you (the only one I've been to here is at Lizard, though you didn't get a choice it was freshly cooked local catch |

I live so far from the sea here and all the locals eat bottom feeding river fish, not goo for fish and chips. In fact not good for anything,

I maintain that if I ever win some money on the lottery i'm gonna open a big American style BBQ restaurant in Swindon, I reckon that would go down a storm.

The best fish and chip shop I've ever found is right here in the west Midlands.

I was desperate to go and was then told by 2 separate people the food was bad and over priced. I take it this is not the case then? |

I liked it, went a little while ago (a year). When we went the food was definitely not bad, in fact it was good. But I've only been once, so maybe we got lucky? Will agree it was not cheap, but its not Brewhouse expensive. |

Well, I keep meaning to go to the Brewhouse, so I'll go to both and make my own mind up (as I should've anyway) soon!

Was just looking at tripadvisor reviews for both places.
They both have reviews that range from terrible to excellent. About as helpful as buying Stephen Hawking a pair of roller-skates.

Trip advisor is a pile of shite. User reviews, no quality control and no checking if the reviews are actually real. Basically anyone can slag anyone off on trip advisor.

...but most of the time the reviews are 5 star excellent.
while I'm here, can anyone recommend somewhere nearish Swindon that does good pub food (particularly a really fucking good steak) that's decently priced? Needs to be NE of Swindon.

No aribba they don't deliver.  Weighbridge fully booked on Saturdays for the next month and no kids allowed anyway in the evenings so will have to find elsewhere. |

Not in Swindon, but the Greyhound in Siddington (nr Cirencester) does excellent food, been there a few times. |
