Does anyone remember the chippy that used to be by the train station, I am talking at least 25 yeas ago. Used to go in there with my old man before matches. It had a few tables so you could eat in of take away. I seem to remember the woman who served was called Pauline . I may be looking back through nostalgic eyes but I remember them being the best chips ever.

Bloody hell that does bring back some memories.

I always prefered the Chinese down the Manchester Road for the Pancake Rolls, the best I have ever had with some chips. Although the Chippy you mention was a good back up.
And yes Pauline with jet black hair, You jogged my old memory.

....as we walked back to catch the train back to Didcot.

Happy Days.

Can anyone remember the Tartan Cafe in Commercial Road....a few doors down from the Rolleston.
Robins Nest in Gorse Hill and the Park Cafe in Faringdon Road where the Italian is now.
Ah, the Park Cafe, yes I remember that one well.  Used to be a favourite stop of the lorry drivers, at least a couple that I knew.  Wouldn't be allowed to stop outside there now and pop in for a cup of tea and a slice of toast!  Does anybody remember the transport cafe that was on the Wootton Bassett road out of town, possibly where Junction 16 is now?

Think the cafe where j16 now stands was Days cafe,ran by the same family that had the garage on Cambria bridge.
Also, the Hang on cafe that used to be in Cross st deserves a mention.
Paulines Fish bar was next door to the central cafe (dingos) on Wellington st and further down nr the bus station was Fords,another transport cafe.
The central fish fry used to be(could still be) in John st.
