Chinese New Year
The best places to celebrate the year of the Monkey in Swindon
Quite what that means, we aren't sure completely sure, but an ancient chinese proverb says this:
People born in the Year of the Rooster are characterised as honest, energetic, intelligent, flexible and confident. But according to Chinese astrology, the year of your sign is believed to be one of the most unlucky years of your life! (Sorry!)
You are a 'Rooster' if you were born in the years: 2005, 1993, 1981, 1969
Best of all, though, it's an ideal opportunity to sample a few oriental delights and to book a table at that Chinese restaurant that you've always meant to try.
Here's the best places in Swindon.
Swindon Rendezvous
Old Town
Probably Swindon's best-known Chinese restaurant, serving a delicious mix of oriental, thai and pan asian cuisine in a stylish contemporary setting.
Now situated in Hoopers Place, Old Town, which with the other restaurants nearby is fast becoming known as Swindon's China Town!
Kenzo 72
Old Town
 Swindon's newest oriental experience, and definitely a chance to tempt, taste & indulge for the Chinese new year!
Connies
Old Town
 There isn't much that Connie doesn't know about cooking traditional chinese food. And if you like your Won Tun soup then this is the place to go!
Jade Garden
Old Town
 Always popular, Jade Garden definitely know their Thai Tom Yums from their Szechuan fried vegetables - and everything in between!
HongXin
West Swindon
Swindon's largest Chinese restaurant offering a Sunday eat-as-much-as-you like buffet for a fixed price, plus lovely views of Peatmoor lake. No lion dancing this year unfortunately!
The Banquet
Regent St, Swindon town centre
Sister restaurant to HongXin that offers an eat-as-you-as-you-like Oriental buffet in Swindon town centre.
> The Banquet - website The Kingsdown
Stratton St Margaret
This Arkell's pub is making a big effort this year for the Chinese New Year, with a special menu available on Thursday, Friday & Saturday featuring such delights as Vegetable dim sum, Kung Po Pork, Chicken with ginger and, of course, crispy duck & pancakes! 
Or, of course, takeaway!
Ahh, the next best thing! Monday night in front of the telly tucking into half a crispy duck with onions, pancakes and, of course, plum sauce!
All of the above do takeaway.
Have a great New Year - Chinese-style! |
