Cheap Food in Loughborough, Leicestershire*

Corner eateries, quick bites and the local chippy

You can tell us more about Loughborough.

• The curry kingdom on park road ( near tescos) is far by one of the best indian on good old L.boro, quite cheap in price and also if ure a student you get 20% off. ;)
• Maxims 20 Leicester Road. Being on the wrong side of the A6 this fabulous Cantonese restaurant is easy to miss but that would be a crime because the food is reasonably priced, freshly cooked and delicious. The service is superb too try asking for something more authentially Chinese and they will bend over backwards to accomodate you - can't recommend them more highly
• Union!
• Angies fishbar under Mr Chans does chicken and chips for 99p
• every one could say mcdonalds but it aint really exspesive any were
• I'm shocked that it's now 2006 and still Rainbows Pizzas and Burgers has not yet had a mention on Knowhere. They sent our house two Christmas cards this year - possibly because since the arrival of a new Pizza Hut, our use of their emporium has shrunk considerably. Still, you can't fail to love Rainbow's, particularly hero-to-millions Ali and the rising star that is "Harry Potter".
• mcdonalds, and pizzeria u can get pizzas for 2 quid there- one person only but they r nice its near sainsburys in the student end
• Try Amigos. Its cheap, wont give you the shits, and the staff are rock hard. I once saw them stove some lads heads in with a pizza shovel. Scared the bejesus out of me, but taught everyone present a valuable lesson!
• Curry Royal
• farm foods
• Mrs Chan's- nice but probably run by triads
• bakers oven. cheap and narsty...actually it's pretty decent. take away is cheap.
• Chicken Cottage on Granby Street in Leicester is pretty good.
• Jacket potatoes, an absolute delight when its fu**ing freezing!
• macdonalds you nitwit (subsub)
• American Pizza. "The best a man can get!!" If I speak to Stan, the proprietor, he always recognises my voice and the address to deliver to. How's that for service?
• Go and eat at The Print Room - it is amazing. Great food, great atmosphere and lovely people. Best place in Loughborough by far!!
• The Cactus Cafe near Argos is a great place for Mexican food and it has friendly staff like it,s Sister restaurant the Mooba which serves Australian Food. But be warned they are popular so book a table in advance.
• The Printhouse is an excellent new cafe/restaurant. Friendly and efficient service with excellent food and also surprisingly good value (main courses vary from £7-12) beware though even lunchtimes can get so busy you need to book!
• mugul i shah, n an effies cheers
• mcdz
• MCDONALDS!
• maccy d's we all klnow that theres suspicious things in the food but we still go there, threy muct be doing something right!
• Star Fish Bar, on leicester road its handy for people who go to southfields
• Herbies atthe EHB The most DIRTY burgers you could ever eat
• Lotus Tang Chinese, American Pizza, Trawlers Catch chippie
• Curryholics - DO NOT GRACE WITH YOUR PATRONAGE unless you want to be be charged the earth for a tiny amount of food served by charmless waiters who whip your crockery away before you've swallowed your final mouthful. Go to the KOH-I-NOOR instead.
• KFC recently opened and has become one of our main food supplies!! lol Oh and 2 Mc Donalds. For Chinese apparently Wans Cottage is amoungst the best (very friendly staff) and for Fish and Chips - Shelthorpe
• ***Amgos take away...it gets very busy at night.....but no wonder this is one of the best places to get pizza...u havnt lived until you have tried it!
• the best place to eat is in the gallery its a bit expensive but well worth it you get a masive plate and the food is gorge. for a take away go to cantonese kitchen on leicester road good prices and food.
• lloyds -yummy !!
• For Indian food -take out or eat in- the 'Taste Of India' is *the best* and well worth a recommendation! The interior design is 'classic indian restaurant' style: fake plants, wooden trellis, coloured spot lights and red swirly-patterned carpet (to hide spills); but this is no bad thing. It's also complete with 'plinky'/'twangy' sitar-like music! Good service and discounts, including student discount and reduction on collected take aways.
• The Cactus Cafe is always worth a visit - reasonably priced, good cocktails and lively atmosphere (best to book in advance, especially at the weekend).
• Koh-i-noor on Nottingham Road for a quality balti.
• friar tuck is a pukka chippy. macdonalds isn't quite as poisonous as others that i have been to
• Wan's Cottage, totally the best chinese in town, although I might be slightly biased knowing the owners! But I have heard from several others that it is the best. As for restaurants, Maxims is a great place, friendly and great food.
• weve got mcdonalds,catus cafe,bakers oven,tjs mr chans the chienese
• The Tai Restaurant is the best. Good food and not too expensive
• The Cactus Cafe serves great nachos
• Wans Cottage is the King Don of all Chineses, and the Curry Royale is the best Indian I've ever tasted and having lived in Birmingham, I've tried e'nuff! The Cactus Cafe has the strongest cocktails around, the most I've had was five and I was on my arse (quite literally) then!The Thai House is very good and I beleive that Cooking for Friends is veeery good, if expensive
• Loughborough is crap for food. Brascoe's (formerly Brown's), is alright, as is Moomba... but after that you are struggling.
• Moon and Bell, £2.99 beer and burger meal. Only danger is you end up staying for more than just one of their beers with their decent prices and concequently end up meeting that same burger and chips once again. Although the womens toilets are wicked. Worth a vomit just to have a nice sit down on the couch in there, resting your feet on the coffee tables with the full lenght mirror. Think theyd serve my next beer and burger meal to me in the bogs?
• Go to Wan's. (Not to be confused with Wan's Cottage). It's up the back-streets (Leopold Street), but where else can you get a chinese take-away for 2 for 6 quid? And decent quality too. It's also a normal chippy with chips at 70p, I think.
• Wan's Cottage, Oxford Street. The finest purveyor of potatos this side of Ireland.
• Eastern Garden do some hallucinogenic shit with herbs and spices that Uncle Ben couldnt touch with a big stick.
• Now that Angelo's has closed, there is NOWHERE decent to eat out in this town. Go to fucking MacDonalds.
• A cool place to eat is the near by sainsburys. You can get two huge meals for £4.00
• A new McDonalds in Shelthorpe, a drive thru, which i have the pleasure of working at
• Wimpy, Don Millers, McDonalds.
• Momento's, Chappaties, Gita's (far superior to the naff fast-food places above!)
• Thai house (highly recommended)
• Mr. Chans (Chinese - great buffet on Sundays)
• Hot Spot (Curry - very good when we left but I believe it has been taken over.)
• Also the Blacksmiths pub serves GREAT pies.
• 'Golden Orient', Derby road does a good set of sizzling Chinese dishes. Black Pepper Fillet steak in particular. Not too hot for vegetarian dishes I believe.
• I used to live in Loughborough. Every time I come home me and my little sister like to go and have a meal at Rupeekas on Ashby road. The food is excellent and they do student night where they offer discounts.
