My advice Fred for what its worth is someware like the Dolce Vita...they do some cracking non meat pasta dishes with either a plain sauce mushroom etc.....or pasta with veg.
Either that or the Three Crowns at Brinkworth do a good selection of vegetarian dishes,abit of a way to go but guaranteed top nosh....in my opinion.

Never been there myself, but a family member who goes often would recommend Los Gatos in Wood Street - apparently a great Tapas restaurant and a lot of veggie stuff on the menu for those afflicted with that particular curse - and the meat dishes are great too, apparently.

what leefer said really, either italian or indian are your best bets mate, but in this day and age you will strugle to find a restaurant without a decent veggie range, unless its run by gordon ramsey :-).
La Carbonara (bottom of kings hill) is very good, do a very nice spinaich and ricotta tortellini.

La Carbonara is fucking top notch. I'm a meatarian though, so know not of the delights of vegetarianism.  |

I'm a veggie. In general, eating out in Swindon is pretty shit. You can't go too far wrong with Indian or Italian, Mexican is normally good as well.

Most decent Chinese/Thai places will offer a reasonable veggie selection as well. Rendezvous is good as is Thai Orchid on Vic Hill. Actually, not sure if that's still going, but if it is, it was nice about 18 months ago

You have to be really careful with oriental restaurants when you're a veggie. Some will have fish dishes listed under the veggie options, which is a sign to not eat there as there don't understand the concept. |

they will use oyster sauce and other such products in their veggie dishes, i have had this problem before. |

Well, given the number of "I'm a vegetarian but I eat fish"-ers (no you're not, by the way) knocking about, that's hardly surprising is it? I know what you mean but you can always just ask whether the other dishes listed as veggie have fish/oyster sauce etc. |
