Didcot - culinary centre of england

When we were originally looking for houses here we used to eat lunch at the cafe or at the bakery, both of which had standard english fare: jacket potatoes, paninis, pies. We had another cafe open not long after which was equally dissapointing. There were a wide selection of greasy kebab shops which also did pizza, greasy chippys, and chinese and indian takeaways. There was one chinese restaurant (i.e. had tables).

But how the culinary choices have grown! We had lebanese today. It was delicious. The original cafe has been taken over by lebanese who offer the standard english fare, as well as lebanese food during the day. And at night it is a Lebanese wine and mezze bar. mmmmm. Who would have thought there was a market for falafels in didcot!

And one of the pubs now has a thai restaurant too which we tried out a little while ago. So with our proper italian restaurant and our posh 2 rosettes restaurant, we have options, options I say, for eating out within walking distance. If only the caterer with the gourmet quiches would come back to the farmers' market, all would be heaven.
