Tennessee Chicken, town centre

Tennessee Chicken, with branches at Regent Circus and Cricklade Road, was praised.

Liz Haunton said of the town centre restaurant: “They do the best chicken in town. They do piri piri that’s better than Nando’s, fried chicken that’s better than KFC. It’s cheaper and they deliver. Spot on.”

The Pick Up Point, Old Town

New Old Town pop-up the Pick Up Point, at the Hop Inn, got dozens of recommendations.

The Korean-style wings and burgers have got the digestive juices flowing.

The pop-up is based at The Hop

Dean Heritage called them the best wings he’s had in his whole life: “These wings are so tender you just twist one of the bones out of the wing, leaving you with a perfect chicken stick.”

Adam Allen said: “For something a bit different, the Pick Up Point’s Korean and Vietnamese chicken wings at the Hop Inn are extremely fresh, tasty and with just the right amount of kick.”

Pepe's Piri Piri, town centre

There was praise for town-centre joint Pepe’s Piri Piri.

Alex Roberts said of the shop, which opened in Regent Circus last year: “Better than Nandos.”

Earlier this summer, owner of the Swindon branch Saeed Ahmed warned he could be forced to close after burglars repeatedly raided the shop.

“I was very excited when I started this business in February. I invested £250,000 and my business generated more than 10 full and part-time jobs in Swindon,” he said.

“But with this happening, I’m feeling very down."
