Tasty Garden: Found in Highworth, Tasty Garden is a favourite of ours, along with Sammys below!… Its a must go to for great Chinese food and great food deals!

Sammys Chinese: Often the original is the best! Everything else is often a bland copy at best… Sammys has been in Highworth as long as I can remember! Even going back to when I was a kid. And they are a great choice for when it comes to Chinese!

Seven Stars: A new one to us here at Entertainment Swindon, and already a favourite! Great menu, food deals and bloody tasty food!
