Tandoori Knights
There are three Indian Restaurants, where the quality - and service - seem to vary almost by the day; Tandoori Knights, The Spice Club and Apurba.
Some of the best places to eat out are the pubs in nearby villages, which often use locally sourced foods. The Friday Night Hunger, a celebrated group of local gourmands, include the following in their recommendations:-
The Stag & Hounds
(http://www.thestagandhoun...) at borrough on the hill - good solid pub grub at 2 meals for â£11;

La Table d'Yves
(http://www.tabledyves.com) the french restaurant part of the fox inn at thorpe satchville - the food's very good.
