Eating and Drinking in Slough, Berkshire*

Slough, Berkshire Pubs, Cafes, Coffee Shops and Restaurants

Food

• macdonalds for mcflurry
• Mcdonalds - to get that Britwell Belly
• Well ... There is 5 McDonalds now (including the one in Asda) ...... sad state of affairs.
• Magic Chef in Slough High Street (opposite Mr Cod) is realy good!
• MACCYD'S
• Again Frabcescos, Que Pasa also serevs some nice food.... I have only tried 3 dishes in The Litten Tree (pub), Cafe Giardino does some nice snacks
• CHINESE ALL YOU CAN EAT NEAR CINEMA..GREAT VALUE...GOOD FOOD!
• Does macDonalds constitute food, there are plenty of decent curry houses, and chinese resturants in the high st, and plenty of take aways dotted all over the town.
• Dragon Chef. I love the food there and the service is brilliant. Buffet meals are lovely and cheap.
• maccy d's on da high street
• The all-you-can-eat chinese near the cinema is excellent. New Kebana and Kebabland for nice kebabs etc. Rems winebar for good west-indian food. Subway for a good alternative to Mcdonalds etc. Mr Cod for fish+chips. Nandos for hot+tasty chicken. The Italian deli on Stoke road is fantastic - continental meat, cheese, other goods and fresh sandwiches daily.
• Slough has a surprisingly good selection of lower-end restaurants, despite the naysayers on this board. I'm not a local, so maybe I'm less-jaundiced! Anyway - my best recommendations are: The Magic Chef, High Street for Chinese food - great menu, extensive vegetarian selection, attentive service and reasdonable prices given the size of the portions. Slough Tandoori, Chalvey for Indian food - thankfully this has recently had an external makeover and is more of a reflection of the nice stripped-pine style decor inside. Service can be a tad slow, but it's friendly and both the food and ambience are excellent. Que Pasa, High Street for Mexican - I've only been there on weekend lunchtimes and while it's not the most exceptional Meican food I have ever had, I can't criticise them for the service and value for money I receied. Francesco's, High Street for Italian - they bake all their own bread and pastries and have a good selection of pizza and pasta-based dishes. Decent service and nice brick-styled decor. Nandos, High Street - part of a chain, Nando's consistently serves good and cheap pir-piri chicken meals in a family environment. Very worthwhile for an evening meal if you want something cheap, relatively healthy and in a casual environment. Take-away food is plentiful, but some highlights are The Kebab Hut in Chalvey (kebabs served in freshly baked naan bread), the baked potato guys with the mobile stand on the High Street, Snappy Tomato Pizza on the High Street and Pipers fish and chips near Homebase. If you want late night takeaway, the only reliable option other than vans is The Kebab Palace on the High Street. It's fairly new and seems to be the only place that realises people would like to eat after 11pm.
• again.. not really eaten, though for a weatherspons, the one in the high st is cheap and good... thai tuesday is great! nandos and franchesco's are ok, but after that I'm not in the know soz
• Best chinese restaurant in Slough High Street is the Magic Chef
• Unfortunately, there are few good eating places in slough as the culture tends toward fast food outlets and either indian of chinese. There a re no health food stores or juicing shops.
• Loads of kebab shops and pizza delivery places near Chicagos, some decent curry houses but the 2nd worst burger king food ever(behind Harrow)
• Try the Classy Touch Cafe' - excellent food, good prices, and a welcoming management team. 2 brothers i think
• The Magic Chef is why Mr Lai is not so good anymore - the chef left mr Lai and started his own restaurant. You cannot fail to be impressed with the quality of service and food here - additionally they have a dedicated vegetarian menu for those of you wish to have meat free duck, chicken or prawns. Mr Lai does not come close in terms of taste or quality - they cannot even manage tofu! they have never replaced the missing chef and head waitress.... Shazhad is a good quality curry house. The Barn is a good quality traditional Indian curry house, however the best curry house in Slough if you are not in a hurry is Nehmat Kadir which has won awards for the cooking. Food here always taste fresh and is not dripping in greaswe for a change. Exceptional standard of Indian food for the conniseur. Another to consider is the newly decorated Slough Tandoori whcih has improved its surroundings and its menu to a good standard.
• Unlike some who like the food in the Long Barn - i know NOT to eat there, although i will not state why. The land lady and land lord are moany old gits who moan if you swear in there pub. It's a pub for f*!k sake!!!
• not good in slough due to the number of people who are on drugs and have no appetite, dragon chef was good i think, but it got closed down for hygiene quite recently!! good food tummies near burnham train station
• There are quite a few restaurants and take aways in Slough high street. The ones I can remeber are: Pizza Go Go,Kebabland, Nemat Kedah, McDonalds, Burger King, Mr. Lai, Pizza Express, Mr Cod, Pizza Hut, Pizza Junction, K.F.C, Southern Fried Chicken, Cedar Kebabs,King Kebabs, Nandos, Francesco, Ginos, Greggs, Littlewoods Café, BHS Café also allthe pubs serve food now although some only serve at certain times of day. +
• Well once I was in burger king with some friends and I found a DEAD Fly in my burger, which was nice, some of the staff give you lip but all in all a enjoyable experience. Mcdonalds which is ok. If u have any sense at all you well stay well clear of KFC, Its staff are all foreign mental cases and can't understand a word you say, Once got a chicken burger meal from their and it smelled of bleach went to the staff to complain and they mumbled some gibberish and start laughing.
• Slough Tandoori
• Fried Chicken take-away opposite Three Tuns Pub on corner - it's halal, but very greasy.
• The kebab van opposite the littentree is quite heavy! Try da !/2 pound wiv cheese! Nice!
• london pie co or kebabland
• FORGET SHAZAAADS - Nehmat Kaddah is the only indian on the high street worth visiting. It has one best curry award 2 years running and has the friendly staff and best prices in town. HIGHLY recommended
• Shahzad has the best Indian in the town, but don't forget the supreme Barn Tandoori, in Salt Hill Park overlooking the bowling green.
• I used to love the Golden Egg on the High Street, by the corner of Windsor Road. It was run by these really friendly Greek people. They made the best Lime milkshakes in Ali G land. Sadly, it closed in favour of American conveniences like McDonalds and Burger King.
• THE LONG BARN, Cippenham Lane is under new management the food is GREAT. After a long day at work we treated ourselves to meal at our local pub and were pleasantly surprised. There is avaried menu with additional specials of the day and also bar food. Try the restaurant upstairs, quiet with views over the village, I can deffinately recommend the lamb steak in redcurrant and rosemary sauce my partner thoroughly enjoyed his steak and stilton pie. Go on treat yourself lunchtime or evenings, they also take party bookings.
• Normal BurgerKing, MacDonalds, Pizza Hut etc. etc.
• Try the "Subway" sadwich bar near the Cinema (next one down from the broadwalk), pukka sandwiches (at a cost though).
• Bring it with you from elsewhere. Water is by and large safe to drink.
• I have never seen so many chip shops, restaurants, cafes, takeaways and pubs in such a confined space. It's a wonder that everybody in Slough is'nt overweight, but they're not because i've lived there all my life and i only know two fat people. Great Indian is the Shazad indian restaurant down the road between Boots and River Island, off the highstreet. But there's such a good choice of restaurants with quality food, from Italian to chinese, pizzas and kebabs. You name it Slough's got it and if it has'nt, Windsor has.
• Shahzad, behind the High Street, near Boots. Surely the best Indian restaurant for miles around. Has expanded to Taj Mahal scale in recent years and still gets full on Friday and Saturday nights. Magic Chef, High Street. Great Chinese food - one of the best in the area. Better even than Mr Lai!
• MacDonalds on Bath Rd and High St
• Check out Mr. Lai's on the Windsor Road for the best chinese food for miles around. The food is excellant and plentiful, the staff are great and it's not very expensive either. It's also best to reserve a table, unless eating before 7.00pm, especially during the weekend.
• Pizza Hut good but they have a pigeon droppings problem which means to say that the place can smell around there in the summer. Found next to Littlewoods.
• For thirst quenching pop into Littlewoods on the High Street side instead of splashing out on drink in the fast food restaurants.
• Avoid Pret a Manger unless on a date (too expensive), choose BK over McDonalds coz I worked at BK over a few summers, and this by far is the best BK that you'll ever get served in.
• How can you forget about the Jacket potato stand opposite McDonalds... Very friendly blokes, great laugh and bloody good tatties too... sweetcorn salad, cheese and beans recommended. V good value for money, basically 2 quid for a full meal.
• Fish and chips - avoid Mr Cod, try the halal one down the road that's opp Marks and Sparks, on the High Street side. Best tasted ever! Generous filling portions, great for wintry nites! Good value too.
• RECOMMENDED HIGHLY - Kebana's takeaway - a lot of kebab shops have opened, the best I have been to as yet is the Halal one found down the road that has the side entrance to Boots, sorry name escapes me. Best sheesh kebabs I've tasted. Value for money.
• Eat cheap (English breakfast style) at Gino's (Three Tuns Crossroads), Asda Restaurant (Windsor Meadows, Cippenham) or Sainsburys Restaurant (A4 between Slough and Maidenhead.

Pubs

• Well some pubs are really going down hill, The Flags used to be a great night out with the dancers but then the council put a stop to that and now its a members bar still good but not quite the same. But after the fight last year maybe they were right to keep an eye on it, because the same person has the cherrypicker and what a state that has become recently I had it owner down a great and had turned the pub around but in the last year or so it problems have been coming back with known drug dealers doing the stuff inside and outside, What are our local pubs coming to
• O'Neills - the best for a friendly atmosphere.
• The Five Bells in Burnham is a fantastic place to hang out. Juke Box, pool table, photos that are actually screwed into the walls and 500,000+ garden benches. . . watch out for starey eye man and mutton who leaves her bounty chocolate bars wherever she wants
• Loads, mostly characterless shitholes where you are as likely to get a smack in the face as a drink. The Wheatsheaf in Albert st and The Rising Sun on the Windsor road are,as far as I can tell, the only Pubs in Slough(Centre) with any soul.
• Sports Bar was brilliant, unfortunately now replaced by the Honeypot. The alternative crowd kind of moved to the Tavern, but the atmosphere there is terrible, and there are too many dirty old men hanging round the front of the pub. There is an EXTREMELY young looking crowd there!
• The Sports Bar is now the Honeypot - Slough's very own 'lapdancing' club. It has the distinction of being about the worst one i've been in - sort it out lads. At least it has a pool table and you're unlikely to get into a fight.
• The Kings Head in cippenham is a good place to drink with friendly staff and a good crowd of punters, Best not to go in when cooking is going on, you get someone order a bacon sandwich and every bar person retires to kitchen to prepare it(F**k knows how big the kitchen is cause they ain't all on the skinny side)Beer getting expensive now also. The Swan is the place to go for a line or two and crap beer, on warm summer evenings punters sit out front and give it large to passers bye (only do it when in packs) Also good for the boy racers to see how fast they can go down the side of pub from carpark in there clapped out builders vans Full of punters that are barred from other village pubs. The Barley Corn is good for cheap beer and cheap decoration Brian the landlord got real dry sense of humor.Still makes ice with tray in fridge one cube each max. Some times he evens switches the lights on so you can see who your speaking to. Pool still 50p a game (bargain)Ration books are not accepted any more cash only
• Cippenham Village. The Swan pub has cheap beer but its fu*king lousy, you can get free spliff making lessons at weekends (bring your own gear.) In the summer the clientel gather out front on the patio and hurl abuse at passers by, but only when mob handed. Some of the twats see how fast they can drive out of the car park over the speed ramp in there beat up builders vans. The Barley Corn is ok for cheap pool, cheap decor and romantic setting, Brian turn the fu*king lights on so we can see who we are speaking to. Stills make ice in plastic trays in fridge(Ration books needed for this one), still keeps good old fashion opening hours unless your in the click. The Kings Head Beers good but expensive. punters not bad, quite a few on bar up's mostly drink in swan, Not a place to go for drink when food being served you get 1 person come in and order a sandwich and all the staff disappear into kitchen, Fuck knows how big the kitchen is cause they ain't slim staff if you know what I mean, but very pleasant. You can't bring children in unless you buy meals for them (Extra mortgage needed here)overwise you have to sit in the garden made for asylem seekers in the freezing cold and you cant even light a fire to stay warm
• I favour The Wheatsheaf near Upton Court Park because it's within staggering distance of where I live. Reasonable prices, friendly service, nice old 'horse-brass and dark wood' interior. Licensing hours seem to be variable on the side of past 11pm!
• Kings Head in Cippenham is a fantastic place to go to have a laugh with your friends!! Well worth a look in and they dont mind new customers unlike some "local pubs" for "local folk" who make you feel like a Leper!!
• shit, shit shit, apart form the cute blue thing opposite slough young people's centre
• Go to the Assembly on a Friday night if you want to watch middle aged divorcees girating across the dancefloor. Quality entertainment for all the family.
• New pub Quel Pasa(or something) - has leopardskin seats and tables. Not sure whether this is ironic or not.... Lloyds(Wetherspoons) near there, superb, has music, cheap beer, fantastic food(when most wetherspoons are diabolical)
• They are all pants in Slough but Wetherspoons is cheap and pants if that helps.
• Kings head in cippenham is good - a good yound crowd who can have a laugh. Good food. Pleasant staff. Hardly ever any fighting in there. Unfortunately lock ins arent allowed. BarleyCorn next door is more for people over the age of 100 - Brian the landlord is a wicked laugh though - also it's only 50p for a game of pool! The Swan is good for pool and fighting. Huntercombe is good for pool and fighting with the Irish community of Slough. Long Barn - don't even go there. I like to refer to it as 'The Morgue'. A sad older bunch drink in there who think it's funny to sing Abba songs loudly.
• Red Cow in Albert Street Slough, Under New Management and can I say how glad I am to see the pub being put back to a good old local pubs, great pint with friendly staff and good value for money same goes for the food. Inside being done up coat of paint and great new decorations. And you never guess what now the garden is getting a face lift. All I can say is a great big congratulations to the new owners (I believe it is a woman) and many thanks for giving us our local pub back. once again well done. Keep up the good work and you will be rewarded.
• Now were talking, Slough has a lot of pubs/bars cater for a lot of tastes and there are clear difinitions between the different types of pub/bars. Firstly we havethe cheap places which are the Moon and Spoon(typical wetherspoons pub)and Wetherspoons (Lloyds No. 1 -branch of wetherspoons). Then we have the Litten Tree, The Lighthouse, The Assembly, Tavern In The Town and Que Pasa (v.nice place) where it is mostly garage music and maybe some other things like Karakoke (see pub for details). You also have all the smaller side street pubs such as the Coachmakers Arms, The Magic Pub, The Rose and Crown, The Herschel Arms, The Pied Horse, the Red Cow, The Wheatsheaf, The Greyhound and The Alpha Arms. For a slightly alternative pub you can go to the Sports Bar (tel: 01753 531720)where Thursday Nights are Rock and Alternative Night (highly reccomended to anyone that likes this sort of music!), Friday Night tends to be Retro/Cheesy (used to be 'School Disco' so you get the idea) and Saturday Night is Karaoke (about 1/2 and 1/2 karaoke and music). Another local rock/alternative venue is the Flags in Chalvey apart from that you will probably have to travel to Reading. +
• Can't believe no-one had mentioned THE SPORTS BAR yet (formally "The Grapes"...about 20 years ago!). Every Thursday night they have a rock night for all the moshers/metallers, etc (yes, there ARE some in Slough despite all the Ali G wannabes that unfortunately prevail). MUST SAMPLE their 1/2 YARD COCKTAILS! Seems pricey at £5, but well worth it. Many a time have I been pissed whilst laughing at their "Squiffy" murial on the wall (now sadly painted over during a refubishment). Moon & Spoon = not bad (price are nice and cheap and they have deals on there), but pub is mainly full of weird old men. Bar service is very slow when they have more than 4 people in the pub. Litten Tree = rude boy-"innit"-hangout for faux Ali G's. A relatively unknown pub is in the backstreets of Slough called The Alpha Arms. The last time I went there a man insisted in telling me about his days as a hit-man. I have never been back since.
• RED COW PUB IN SLOUGH HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER AND HAS BEEN REDECORATED WHAT CAN I SAY NOW A SMASHING PUB GREAT TASTING FOOD FOR GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY, ALSO SERVES A GOOD PINT OF BEER WITH VERY FRIENDLY STAFF AND MANAGEMENT. GREAT TO SEE THE OLD PUB ON ITS WAY BACK. THIS PUB IS A CREDIT TO SLOUGH AND ITS NEW OWNERS WHOEVER THEY ARE WELL DONE AND KEEP UP THE HARD WORK. AND THANKS FOR BRINGING THE OLDEST PUB IN SLOUGH BACK TO ITS REGULARS, I JUST HOPE YOU DO NOT THINK OF SELLING IT. WELL DONE AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE OWNER AND THANKS
• Went in Red Cow (Feb 2002)for a meal had the best service I have ever received in there great to see the pub getting back to its original state, a very great big well done to the new owner for bring a great pub back to Slough, keep up the good work. PS the beer is tasting great once again.
• Sports Bar..woohoo! Best pub in Slough hands down. An average of 0 fights...ever. Decent for Punk Rock, Nu-Metal and similar music tastes on Thursday nights. Karaoke is OK on saturdays...just make sure you're wasted :-)
• Rising Sun,Windsor road.Real friendly 'local' yet newcomers don't get stared at/intimadated (which makes a nice change for Slough).Frequented by rugby players/bikers/suits/the occasional goth/mettler - basically a real mish-mash of peeps.Okay juke box,bands on Saturday nights.Has the friendliest doorman this side of London,aleays smiling and holding the door open,his names John,say "hello" but don't give him any aggro 'cause he's a biggen :)
• RED COW, yeah the one by the big roundabout, did we mention that it's also HAUNTED! if you don't believe me go in there and ask the bar staff or any of the locals, strange goings on, glasses dissappearing by the dozen from racks, flying bottles etc, this is not a wind up, go see for yourself.p.s good food and real ales as well as a jolly good bunch who drink and work there.
• hey, try the red cow at the upton court roundabout, it's great if you want a bit of peace and sanity, locals are friendly and so is the bar staff but food is only passable good ale selection though. one to disregard, the red lion in st.marys, BORING. see dead.
• lITTEN TREE, lots of fights, have encoutered a few racists in there to, make sure if you go in there, go in a group. Weatherspoons is a nice place to go but you have to look smart.
• The BRICKMAKERS ARMS BURNHAM SLOUGH is the best pub in the area.Women Men and dogs are welcome.They do an excellent pasty or pie and the landlord John Pacitto will offer you brown or red sauce and serenade you while you tuck in.(How romantic)
• Just ask for Patti in the Jolly Londoner and she will serve you in MORE WAYS THAN ONE!!!!!!! WINK WINK
• If you want a good atmosphere and cool music, try The Rising Sun on Windsor road on a Sat Night when they have a live band. Particularly look out for the band DAFT as they are excellent and pull in a cool croud!!
• I spent a week in Slough, working days at Heathrow and nights I ate and drank at The Punch Bowl a delightful pub on Old Bath Road. The Governor, Doc, Becky and Eiland are deelightful people to share a pint with and get to know the locals. The food in the evening from the Bong Thai is fabulous, very economical and tasty. If you go tell them tham Plano Jim from Texas sent you.
• Wheatsheaf (favourite with Etonians as it's only across the field!) Red Cow - not bad Herschel Arms - too small Anywhere in the High Street is NOT a pub
• Chicago Rock 'Cafe' on Slough High Street. Easy to find, just look for the bouncers with school uniforms on (well, they nicked our school ties for a start), and follow your nose. The smell of fish and cheap aftershave is unmistakable. Note to Chairman of Chicago Rock Cafe Ltd...Stop putting fucking TV screens all over the pub, or at least put something interesting on them like football or something. Even Channel 5, I don't care!!
• Da Littentree is the only place to be! Me and me boyz (naz, jusin and jay and da rest, u no who u r!)
• As of April 2001, the Newt & Cucumber has been replaced by a fancy (but usually empty) pizza restaurant, and the Firkin has turned into The Assembly. Not quite sure what that is, but it looks to be the antithesis of Firkin pubs. Yuk! My custom usually goes to the Moon & Spoon. Dirt cheap beer, but well-kept, and good honest cheap food, in a friendly environment, with all cultures and classes accounted for.
• PUBS.....ahh pubs or should it be bars? because in the evolving world there are few pubs left now!!! what we have today is bars with a capitiol "B" gone are the "I feel like a drink and dont care what i wear pubs" now we have , "put aftershave on and stand around bar trying to bop to the beat type place" where have they all gone? who said no more pubs?.....dunno!!! but the only realy friendly pub i can recomend in slough has to be the greenman , on the uxbridge road...come in and chat any afternoon you like and you wont be dissapointed this is old time pub people with nothing to chat about exept the area and all things that matter in the world.....but at least you can chat accross the bar with whoever is in at the time NOTE this place turns into a nogo zone on friday nights be warned
• The Assembly slough is the newest bar in the area and the best for music dance and food
• Slough attracts a good underage population, who comsume and frequent all of th amny old winos' pubs on the highstreet. Welcome to slough, new capital of underage drinking for all "good " St. bernards pupils.
• THE LONG BARN, Cippenham Lane is under new management the food is GREAT. After a long day at work we treated ourselves to meal at our local pub and were pleasantly surprised. There is avaried menu with additional specials of the day and also bar food. Try the restaurant upstairs, quiet with views over the village, I can deffinately recommend the lamb steak in redcurrant and rosemary sauce my partner thoroughly enjoyed his steak and stilton pie. Go on treat yourself lunchtime or evenings, they also take party bookings.
• The Goose in the Town, The Moon & Spoon, The Sports Bar and The Phrenologist & Firkin are to name but a few in a short distance.
• The Red Cow Pub (all be it a slightly old mans place) is great place to have a pint and some grub at a good price (e.g. Fish and Chips at £1.99....how can you go wrong ?)ITs about 5 mins away from the high street and a great place (Go straight down the road from litten tree so Nando's is on the left, keep on going and its just before the huuuuge roundabout). Boardwalk is a nice 21s+ bar (really !) although f*****g expensive last time i was there. (get drunk then go there)
• For the "Freshest Faced" crowd around, then the pubs of "Moon and Spoon", "The Sports Bar" and last but certainly not least "Yates' Wine Lodge" have to be visited. In these pubs, you will find a broad based clientel, whose soul aim is to drink, drink and then got to Harry's Nightclub for a bout of boxing
• How many times do I have to say, I'm sure Slough has more pubs per head than any other town in England. All of them are good, and quite friendly really.
• Most of the new pubs in Slough range from innofensive to extremely nasty, although O'Neills is worth a look in. There are a couple of older pubs which are a bit more appealing though. The Herschell Arms, Herschell Street. A little piece of Dublin in Slough. A proper Irish pub, none of yer theme pub rubbish. Used to be a bit rough but has cleaned up its act in the last couple of years. Bags of character, good Guinness and top notch live impromptu diddly-diddly music on Sundays and Mondays. The Wheatsheaf, Albert Street. A bona fide local pub with a varied cross section of punters of all ages. Good beer too. The Red Cow, end of Albert Street. The oldest pub in Slough, apparently. A bit quiet but nice beer and a good sized garden for summer boozing.
• Litten Tree, Yates, Sports Bar, Phrenologist and Firkin, Newt and Cucumber, Moon and Spoon.
• There are lots of new pubs the Litten Tree,O'Neals,the Sports bar,Firkin and the Lighthouse.
• Newt and Cucumber is pretty good- look out for the guys from Slough rugby club. There can also be some real twats around who are just out for a fight. Phrenologist and Firkin is not bad either, although it's a bit difficult to say when you're trashed!
• Best (and cheapest) pub - Moon & Spoon opposite the Library
• For Pubs try the Jolly Londoner. It has been totally redone and is under new management. It's very modern and different from the average English pub. Just ask for Patti.
• Pubs to be seen in:

  "Newt and Cucumber", opposite Slough Library, just off the Windsor Road near Slough High Street

  Hang out for office yuppies by day and young pubbers by night - Friday and Saturday - bouncers on door - busy!

  "The Grapes", in Windsor Road

  Over 21's only - local hang out for office yuppies by day, food served during day.

  "The Moon and Spoon" next to The Grapes

  One of the J D Wetherspoon's chain of pubs, all having Moon and something in the title...

Cafes and Coffee Shops

• You cant beat the touch of class cheep food but it is all good
• Love Francescos, a lovely little Italian restaurant, but also a nice place to sit & have a latte sweetie
• BURNHAM BEECHES HAS GREAT LITTLE KIOSK!
• Coffee shop inside Ottakars in the Queensmere is about the best. Also the one inside Tchibo shop.
• I've sampled a few cafes of differing styles in many towns over the years and I think the best deal on Slough High Street is The Classy Touch. It's a traditional diner/greasy spoon-style place that serves good, basic food swiftly and at very affordable prices. Added bonus is that they do nice ice-cream sodas. However, best to avoid if you're a vegetarian and require anything more than a veggie burger or egg and chips.
• Classy tough, yes big up, your proper not quite greasy spoon, quick service, need to drink endless coffee and sudden desire to smoke and have a tragedy to discuss with your friend, like a scene from a film with a semi grotty amerocan diner in it, or roadside cafe, but good stuff, not pretension, just what it is, love it, but bar amy's for sandwiches, what have you got? Foul , beastly Subway, even the smell wants to make you vomit, gregs with too much brwad, too much bread gregg... favourite chicken and another one, I can't reme,ber which one it is on the high st ( the sypc end) but one of them has chips that no matter what, taste of fish, no such thing as a nice coffee shop unless you want to sit in a book shop or presinct cafe with a blue santa claus, crap as far as i can see
• The best cafe is Slough is on the Windsor Road, on the left hand side as you walk from the poice station to the town centre. The coffee is a bit rough, but dirt cheap and the bacon/sausage sandwiches are excellent. It attracts a diverse crowd from the court.
• Try the Classy Touch Cafe' - excellent food, good prices, and a welcoming management team. 2 brothers i think
• People don't go for coffee and cake in Slough - they go for a pint and a kebab.
• There are many cafés and coffee shops in the covered areas and alongthehigh street catering for various tastes. There is the Classy Touch Cafe , Subway, Tchibo, Café Giardino, Morellis, Amy's Sandwich Factory andmost of the pubs act as a pub come coffe shop during the day serving good food and ure usual hot drinksor pints etc. +
• BROADWALK NEXT TO VIRGIN IS A TRENDY COFFEE SHOP AND WINE BAR
• Francescos is nice, also the one on the corner of the Queensmere, opposite Poundland
• Amys on the high street do a mean sandwich
• If you're into hanging out in peace in coffee shops in nice surroundings, you're in the wrong town.
• shouldnt get these in slough..sloughs not that posh
• Everyone should come to the classy touch cafe, it's greasy smelly and overpriced, but I work there so you must visit (and leave a big tip!)
• Any of the thousands of pubs and food places on the high street. I have never seen so many chip shops, restaurants cafes and pubs in such a confined space. It's a wonder that everybody in Slough is'nt overweight, but they're not because i've lived there all my life and i only know two fat people. The new Subway is quite nice.(Nov 99)
• Francescos is the place I spent a good year of my life, trying to decide whether or not to go to university. I eventually decided I would, but I couldn't have made the decision without their creamy cappucinos. Wonderfully friendly staff, tables outside in the summer - everything a high street cafe should be.
