Discreet Dining in Swindon
Swindon's best evening dining is concentrated in the Old Town, with the town centre and nearby market towns as alternatives. Here is how to choose.
Old Town
Wood Street and Devizes Road, in the Old Town, hold most of Swindon's independent restaurants, and the setting is calmer than the town centre. It is the natural first choice for a relaxed dinner.

Marlborough and Highworth
Marlborough, a short drive south, has a wide high street with restaurants and old inns, and Highworth, on its hill north east of the town, is a smaller, quieter option. Both suit a slower evening away from the town.
