Cheap Food

• The Cedars hotel does great food and is well priced! best place to eat in stow!
• Oriental Fountain great Chinese. Hong Kong takeaway in Wolsey Rd may do good food but in my experience their home-delivery service doesn't work. Ordered a meal last night at 7.30 and after a lot of phone calls, at 10.00pm they told me that if I wanted the meal i would be better if I could collect it! By then I'd drunk a couple of bottles of wine so obviously i didn't (Had beans on toast instead).
• Buy your food from Aldis - much cheaper than Tescos
• Beware the turkish mafia!! Still good at three in the morning tho!!!
• the legend of Finneys
• Wimpy is YUMMY. its cheap 2. and Bakers oven does realy good cakes. Capones is nice, and they also do a GORGEOUS fish finger baguette in Oak. xxx ( and sultan kebabs)
• Capones, Wimpy, Sultan Kebabs, The Oak .

• Turkish Cartel/Monopoly/Mafia whatever you want to call it has their fingers in many pies and other stuff I won't mention in the region of stowmarket. I think we need to have a Mc'd or BK sometime soon to save me driving to Ipswich everytime I want to have one and spoiling the environment with car fumes.
• The kebab and pizza place is a great place to go after a night out. Although it does get crowded and there are gobby people about.
• THE OLD COUNTING HOUSE IN HAUGHLEY IS JUST DOWN THE ROAD AND IT'S A FANTASTIC NIGHT OUT DINNING WITH FRIENDS, AND JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM STOW.
• biggest tbone steak ever in capones! buy 2 get one free on thurs nites.pukkaaaaa but took a while to cook it tho.
• tandori-v. gd that chinese shop that gt done coz the owner nicked a duck off the pond n cooked it. was good. gone off it a bit now.
• Wimpy is no longer run by hasan and is a much better place then before. the manager is really nice but he need to give his wimpy girls a pay rise
• Tai-sing is the best take-away for a real chinese curry, you may know it as Jimmy`s.

• Wimpy is about it mind you i wouldent touch any of it
• THIS IS NOW BEING UPDATED 2002. There is Wimpy, Chick King, Kebab shop, Pizza place, a few chinkys orential fountain is v.nice go there all the time, but my advice is not to go to bamboo house, they have been closed down once or twice, the places above that people only go there when there v.drunk so that says it all really! Cracknells is the best fish and chip shop ever, everytime i walk past it i go in and get some chips (not cos im a fat cow, but because they smell v.nice!)
• Bakers Oven is about it.
• Why has Stowmarket not got a 'MAINSTREAM' takeaway outlet that is not owned by a Turkish man? We want Mc'Ds, we want BK, we want KFC, we want Pizza hut!!!! NOW!
• Every take-away including a couple of chip shops is run by the Turkish fast food mafia.
• The oriental fountain is a great chinese restaurant and take away. Not as cheap as many of the other take aways in stowmarket, but boy do they taste good mmmmmm. On the other hand if your lashed out of your mind and need to stuff your face with junk food, there are many fast food take aways in stowmarket high street: sultan kebabes, southern fried chicken, tasty pizza and best take away. however if you don't want to be disapointed just go home and a sandwich and a cup of tea.
• The only resturant i can think of is the Tandoori/curry/thing place. Take aways, well there is a Whimpy!!!! The pizza shop has great pizzas and the take away next door, i havent been dissappointed!! The fish and chip shops in combs ford are not bad, the one near the magpie pub is best, but the one beside the newsagents, not so keen!!
• The Oriental Fountain is a really nice chinese restaurant - it is definately well recommended. Funnily enough I have never been to the Royal Tandori (an Indian restaurant) but I am going there for the first time tonight - so I will have to keep you posted.
• Hey, I like the Bamboo House! There have always been (totally unsubstantiated) rumours about the place but I put those down to ignorant prejudices. I'll admit the quality varies but as a cat lover I'm happy to eat there.
• Bakers oven just got done up, very nice.
• Is it me or are all the fast food, resturants and chippies all owned by one bloke?
• Jimmys Cineese take away in Wolsey road is thew only one im gonna mention. He is simply the best. And Im not just saying that cos he gives us extra chipe ansd a free coke occassionally.Honest!
• Restaurants? In Stowmarket? Are there any!?! Unless you want fish and chips, a curry or chinese, don't bother looking! The only decent food in Stow is to be had when you totter out of Jokers on a Saturday night with the munchies. Pop into Chick King and say hi to Hassan, just watch out for his Potato Surprise!
• erm bakers oven again!!
• The Punch Bowl! Been taken over, and completely re-worked.... Best grub for miles around. It might be out of the way, but sooooooo worth it!
• I ate in a real nice place by the market.Two meals for the price of one on thursday night. Real good.
• Asda, when I first moved to Suffolk from London and I went into the supermarket I nearly died to laughing to see an aisle labelled "foreign foods" - it contained such exotica as spaghetti sauce.
• Kebeb shop, best kebab ive tasted................ever! yum!
• monopolised by that turkish bloke....he owns wimpy..chick king..pizza express..the kebab house.
• Suddenly, somehow, all owned by exactly the same people. the Pizzas from, erm, Tasty Pizza, are gorgeous, and the one next to the Oak does good veggie-burgers, but I don't trust it.
• Eating in Stowmarket? Apart from the Fish and Chip shops, don't risk it!
• Chick-king, Kebabs, Pizza's Fish and chips shops X4, Chinese, Indian, you name it we've got it.All good especially after a night at the club, I usually go to Chick King for chicken and chips.
• Chick King and Kebab shop to be avoided from 10.30pm on a Thur/Fri/Sat Night.JAM
• Normans chip shop is brilliant and the owner looks just like Alex Ferguson (or some say he may be Taggart!)
• The only Chip shop in town. The mighty Stow Fish Bar, GORGOUS, must try it.
• Stow Fish Bar- Recently took over and renovated great place great food, not invested with rats, or with maggots in the chips like othr chippies in the area(FISHERMANS BASKET)and not run by turks(CHIP INN)
• Check out chick king for excellent chicken buggas (and yes its spelt like that in my group of mates)
• Most take-away places in Stow have infestations: rats, dead cats, copious dandruff, squaddies that frequent them - only place worth going to is The Oriental Fountion - try the Duck.....lovely.
• Wimpy is evil - look at their "bender-burger" and "fishy fingers". It's simply got to be Dillons for all your Cheese+onion pastie needs. (and sangers) T.
• Rats in the Kebab shop and dead cats in the chinese next to Jokers - and that is fact.
• the wimpy is the place in stow where everyone goes or the kebab shop
• oh the lovely sultan kebab, southern fried chicken (famous for potato surprise) wimpy, numerous fish and chip shops ,pizza, 3 chinese, i indian
• "THE ORIENTAL FOUNTAIN", (STATION ROAD) IS QUITE NICE I SUPPOSE
