I will be over for the Shitty game in April, and will be bringing my Spanish grand-daughter with me. Ostensibly, her trip is to learn a bit of English and see a couple of matches away from the sheer boredom of the Santiago Bernabeu. However, I really know that the above is all lies, and her trip is just an excuse so that she can go to Swindon to eat lardy cakes and Fish and Chips. So, where in the opinion of the forum is the best place in town for both (though, not at the same time, obviously). I expect lots of replies, especially as I resisted the temptation to mis-spell "place"  Oh, I've already warned her about Arkells |

La llama est un quadrupidore
Apparently, the plaice which is good is the shop up Woodlands Edge.
They do not accept credit cards - cod only!

York Road chippy used to be good. Haven't been in there for a while though.

The best chippy in town is right by the magic roundabout, english people running it too!! York Road is good, but this one is better in my humble opinion!!

Best of luck getting tickets for the Slavers away. York Rd chippy is not as good as it was. The one on the Magic is superb and the guy who owns it is Town. The one I've been using recently is the one in Kingsdown - very good and cheap as chips.

York Road chippy is decent. Proper chips and no grease. Good value for money as well.

The Trident Fish Bar at curry corner is decent if you're after a higher class of fish & chips (if there can be such a thing), tasty fish, excellent chips and the homemade tartar sauce is great.

York Road is pricey compared to The Frying Fish on the Magic Roundabout, who is the most reasonably priced chippy in Swindon. 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 |

That's a bugger for him, the £2 match special sausage and chips was a winner. Guess his business doesn't rely on that though. Gorse hill is good for me, I park there on match day  |

Shame that as food is of good quality and many people enjoy a "football special" Sausage and Chips on a Saturday afternoon. |

He's looking to open in Gorse Hill around 13th Jan, but he'll be open at the Magic for the games over Christmas. |
