There are a variety of places to eat, cafes and pubs serving fish and chips, steak and chips, roasts etc. A French restaurant, The Mitre has been recommended to me by guests, there are three Indian restaurants at this end of town and I have had good reports from all 3. There is also a Chinese restaurant at this end of town and a pizza restarant at the Somerfield end of town. The Hungry Horse on the outskirts of town, Wetherspoons opposite Somerfield and Dunstan House have all been recommended to me as good value food.
