Cheap Food

• the talbot
• Calne grill. dolphin fish and chips. sam widges.
• Picannte (ignore spelling)cafe by the river near the library! Hate the people, one of them came out and threatened one of my mates with a meat cleaver. That's the real truth of calne.
• pizzeria!
• Maxim's in Church Street is the best Chinese!!! It's across the road and up a bit from Wong's. I've been to Wong's once, that's enough and i'm never going back again. Placed an order at Maxim's, went to Wong's to pick it up by accident, and they kept telling me my order was nearly ready. Kept me waiting for 50 mins and I left. they never had my order in the first place since I didn't place it there are didn't even have the courtesy to tell me that there was another Chinese up the road. Maxim's does the best food, thank you, I'm going eat there for the rest of my life - v friendly staff as well!
• charcoal grill
• Maxim's in Church Street is the best. I used to go to Wongs, but once I tried Maxims i never went back to Wongs. If you don't know where it is, its diagonally opposite the Conservative. Go up Church St, pass Wongs and its on the left. Do great Fish and Chips as well. Looks aesthetically pleasing and modern after that refurbishment.

• The Jolly Huntsman in Kington St Michael is very disappointing - don't even contemplate ordering the lamb noisette at £9.95 - no right-minded cook would serve up what we were given to eat just this week. Better off in Safeways Superstore cafe....
• the bird in the phoenix fish bar in Phelps parade is well fit - 25 stone and covered in chip grease mmmmm
• out of trough
• St. Marys sch food is national world wide known for its delicatable food, which is made especially for the girls... who most of the time won't touch the damn stuff!
• The White hart hotel. The owners are italian. Just try the tirimisu it's the best.
• The charcoal grill. (don't annoy the staff or you may get an extra topping on your kebab!!!)
• The Spice of Bengal has to be the best indian we've ever tasted!

• Respect to Wong's House in Church street! Good old Mr Wong knows how to cook a good Chow Mein!!
• Nice chinese take away, lovely!!!
• The Marden cafe. Try a breakfast with extra mushrooms, theyre great!!!
• 'Patch of Blue' cafe where you can enjoy a relaxed, unhurried beverage or lunch in a 'Miss Marple' environment. Outside in the summer months, t'is most pleasant and convivial.
• See under pubs! Takeaway / delivered - the kebab shop opposite the Post Office is good, cheap and deliver free
• Fish & Chips: Chines in Church Street; OK - nothing special. Last time I had haddock from there it was horrible.
• Another Chinese in Church Street - never used it.
• Chinese in main drag towards Oxford Road - Fish & Chips here is actually pretty good; open early on a Sunday.
• Bakers just down from the Chinese above, and also in the arcade thing.
• Fish & Chips in the arcade thing.
• Kebab shop opposite the Post Office.
• Kebab Van in the evenings in the Pippin Car Park. This bloke has been serving in Calne for years, and used to park outside the PO until the new kebab shop opened. I feel sorry for him.
• Pizza take away on the beginning of Oxford Road, opposite the Liberal club. Adequate; typical take away pizza IMO.
• Joy Balti House in main drag, opposite the brass pigs. Very popular - food seems OK and not expensive. Things are looking up in Calne.
• I'm told there is a coffee shop in Church street that isn't "oiky" (!!).
• There's a greasy spoon caff next door top Somerfields.
• Williams Street has a new chippy, and a new sandwich/deli type place (next door to each other!). The bakers in the main drag towards Oxford Road is now closed - the bread was 'orrible anyway.. The Pizza place opposite the Liberal Club is now closed down.
• Joy Balti - pretty good considering it's the only Balti in Calne!
