Hi,

Because of work and stuff I'll be getting into swindon Town center at about quarter past 6, and in grave need of dinner. Whats the best takeaway/finger dinner food place I can go to, and still get to the ground for about half 7. Fancy a break from subway, and I'm not drunk enough for a kebab.

Thanks gays xx

Cant go wrong with a football special (large battered sausage and chips) from the chippie opposite the fire station for £2!!

sort of related....about 140 years ago when I used to go clubbing, after a night out at that club at the top of town, opposite the model shop near the wyvern, (buggered if I can remember the name, used to be bubbles, but the last I remember was the whole moroccon theme going on)...anyway, on leaving that club we used to go to this little burrito bar 30 secs away which did the most incredidle burritos etc for about £3...is that place still there??

And hot drinks are BOGOF in the ground until 7.15pm, shame they don't add the beer to that offer.

Po Na Na to Best Burritos. It made Po Na Na an even more incredible and much missed place. Think Best Burrito is still there. There's certainly one by Liquid and Envy.

yes yes yes yes yes ...cheers barry, sorry Dave, as you were.

Think H&S shut them down a while ago.

Yep, they just moved back there from Havelock Sq, I think:

Still do great burritos, my Mrs would live off them if she could!

EDIT @fcb, they reopened after the H&S thing

Those Burrito's do seem pretty damn tempting

decent burritos in Swindon? Must move back.

I second the chippy idea.

Chippy's always got a mahoooosive queue though, good as it is

sign of quality though!

do it Dave, I'd murder for chip shop chips and a battered sausage right now. My dinner just now consisted of moose in meatball and burger format

Steak night in the wetherspoon's. It's about £7 for a pint and steak and chips.

That's where I'm headed. Can't beat it.

I might go spoons, dependent on time really.

Rooster's isn't bad if you like peri-peri chicken... they do wraps, 'on-the-bone' chicken, and a decent selection of burgers/toppings.

I think that the Savoy will be busy tonight, quite a few villa fans are recommending going there on their forums

I'm off to get the footie special at the Frying Fish. Getting there at 6, but still expecting a queue.

So wish i could be there tonight!

On a plus note, attempting the 'Spoons challenge' with the uni vouchers we have in a bit. 4 steaks/chips with 4 pints in 90 mins, should be fun.

Bogus, we'll be in the Sir Dans mate. Get involved.

Then, you'll be surprised to see tomatoes later on.

No matter what you eat, when you hurl there are always tomatoes

I did not see this.

In the interest of closure, I decided upon Best Burritos. It was amaaazzziiinnnggg

Pork roll in the cunty

Was it worth breaking in for?

No...no crackling

Last year we had our works Christmas do in the CG...the thought did occur that if I got lucky, a pork roll in front of the TE might have been interesting...

Depends how you define "decent" I guess...

They had signs saying it was under new ownership, and it was all cooked and prepared right in front of my eyes.

I suspect/hope those articles are no longer the case

That was from the store that used to be in the side of the Brunel. The owner has a life ban of food places.
