Just wondering what your fave eateries are in town

1. Frankie n Bennies
2. Fabios
3. Three Crowns (Brinkworth)
4. Il Capricone
5. New World

These are in no particular order!

I went to Frankie and Bennies the other week. The food was decent, but the portions were small - especially for an American themed restaurant. Spent a tenner and wasnt nearly full.

On a side note, loads of nice birds in there.

1. The grove (drove road)
2. The thais restaurant in victoria road
3. Rendevous (spelt wrong)

Thats about it for me.

Anyone been to the new restaurant in west swindon in the old nightclub?

True - some of the waitresses are fit spencer

The Grove will also let you park your car there for the game if you go in before the game - that gives them bonus points in my opinion.

i think this is a criteria when employing woman as the two near me are full of fit birds. i love going there.

Yeah I used to go in the Grove before I used to do the Merlin thing

And F&Bs indeed has nice waitresses .. especially the gorgeous Danielle x :\/

1.  Jewel in the Crown
2.  Fabios
3.  The Sun at Coate
4.  The Curry Garden
5.  Rendevous

1)The Three Crowns
2)Pagoda palace
3)The parasol
4)Frankie and bennys
5)Fabios

Yeah, the waitresses were nice. But there were groups of birds just having dinner with their friends and that. Was good.

Any of you lot tried Toby Carvery? I dont know if Swindon has one to be honest, but I used to go to one in Reading and it was georgeous.

F&B's waitresses are all fit, it's clearly the criteria for hiring people there. Sexual discrimination eh?

I went to Chiquitos once and a pint of Red Stripe cost me £5.50  :?

As i don't live in Swindon i'm gonna do the top 5 near me in Brum.

1. Wing Wha chinese. All you can eat for £12 is mint.

2. Any F&B's.

3. China Red on Broad Street. very pricey though.

4. Thia Edge in Brindley Place off Broad Street.

5. Paradise curry house in Brierley Hill. Top Dollar

we have loads up here and i agree they are special.
The amount of choice in food is quality. Only been for a Sunday Lunch so not sure if it's always the same but the quality was so good

Whereabouts in Brum are you Mr Roundabout? should get yourself down to sundarbon in selly oak, better than the local franki and bennies.  One of the chinese places in the chinese quarter is excellent, as are some of the places in the mailbox, and los igunanas (small portions too) in arcadian.  I never made it to ladypool road though!!! Also some smashing Italian places in Mosely and Harbourne.

Gaetano's
The Dilraj
New World
Fabio's
Subway :oops:

i live in Cradley Heath (Halesowen way).
I work on 5 Ways in Central Brum.

Mail Box does have some cracking places to eat if your feeling rich though so i only go when work take us.

Next time your in Brindley Place try Thia Edge or The Bank.
very very nice

Yeah there is one at abbey meads mate, lush! If we stay up I will take you for dinner there in a non gay way

:fag:

:roll:  Yes I am.

I challenge you to convert me.

smooooooth!  :wink:

I'm out in Brum tomorrow, I know of Bank but never been mind.  I got a good meal on a sat in mailbox overlooking the canal for about £15 it was serious relief to see the cost cos I feared the worst having seen a tub of moisturiser that the girls were swooning over was £110!

Have to aplaud you jay for that one, very smooth!

where do you live then??

I lived in Selly Oak for 4 years whilst at Uni, I'm back in SN1 at the moment but I'm looking for a job in Birmingham for next year, looking to move up in about 12 months.

Smelly Oak!! Nice!!

what work you looking to get into??

Finance, consultancy or ideally property developemnt maybe as a quantity surveyor, gonna do the rounds with KPMG, PWC, Deloitte probably, see where it takes me looking for PG courses or graduate training schemes

Ah - I worked for a year for the ICAEW (the people who administer the ACA) in the education and training dept. if you need any advice I'd be happy to help you out.

Cheers KT, I'm hoping to do a course of sorts within the job I'm guessing aprt time with exams etc I think, not looked TBH too busy sorting out globetrotting first.

Toby is very good actually .. its my number 6!

Could be tough as I rarely eat in Swindon, but here we go

Fabios
Connies (Chinese)
ermm, another Italian in Old Town (forget the name)
Il Capricorno

and for take-aways it has to be the chippie on the magic roundabout!!!!!

F&B =  :chunder:

Understand why you all like it if its full of fit women, but the food sucks.

If you are ever out and about near Bedford, may I recommend a fantastic Mexican Restaurant in Ampthill called Fajitas - top place. Reservations highly recommended.

Not in any order...............but all are good!

1.The Three Crowns (Brinkworth)
2.Haweli (0ldtown)
3.Connies (Oldtown)
4.Cross Keys (Wanborough)
5.Kabab van (Greenbridge rugby club)

Nicest Kebab I've ever had......anywhere!!

And the Italien opposite longs, good fresh pizza!!!

oh yeah its called Geatano's

Eat at home ,drink in the pub.

EASY! EASY! EASY!

That's the sort of thing I'm looking at now. Some of my mates have contracts with KPMG, E & Y, PWC etc. for next year. It sounds easier to get into MI5 tbh

Fatbury-your F&B'S must be a whole lot better than ours-it's absolute shite-stale bread and cold food and full of chavs!

Is there still a Chiquito's in Swindon? The one in Southampton is class

yeah it's next to F&B's. I've been in once, a pint cost me £5.

Yeah but I'm a recovered alcoholic unlike you Mr Youth

my favourite's are thai orchid on victoria hill, the italian round the corner from duckson and pinker (cant remember what it's called, and dont know if it's even still there) and la casita (mexican) along devizes road.

i normally get a drink in chiquitoes before watching a film and it's never cost me £5: either they like me, or they hate you.

There is a big Toby in town up here. You pay something like £7 and you get to eat as much roast as you like! :mrgreen:

Is that the music shop near to Don Rogers sports?

John Holmes music is the music shop nearest Don Rogers' shop, Duckson and Pinker is further along, near Walkabout and Wilkinson. It closed last week, I think they are going to put a 'Subway' in there now.

Agreed, the Chicken Kebab from there rules.  :)

These shops bring back memories of my childhood! I used to buy sheet music when I was a slip of a boy as I was learning to play the piano. Was there not a great toy shop there also?

the old Beatties toy shop you mean?

Sounds familiar. Bearing in mind this must have been a good 15 years ago, my memories are quite hazy!

i would have been about 3. i still remember it though. used to go in there all the time. its a bar now!
