THE people of Bridgwater have spoken - here are the best takeaway spots in town.

Residents and readers of the Bridgwater Mercury were asked one simple question: "Have you got a favourite takeaway to recommend?".

As expected, there were many responses and reactions as they put the spotlight on their beloved eateries.

One food-lover failed to narrow it down to just one, instead opting to name their favourites for various cuisines.

They said: "Here are my go-to food places, Chinese it has to be Welcome Kitchen, for Indian food it's India Cottage, while for kebabs and pizza I recommend Pizza Choice & Best Kebab.

"For fish and chips, Dolphins".

It did seem that German Doner Kebab, as well as Pizza Choice & Best Kebab, India Cottage, and Beijing Express were favourites across the board as they dominated residents' recommendations.

"Tim's Fish Bar is one I'd recommend," said another.

Star Fish Bar, Pak Lok, Akropolis, and "hidden gem" Shamz Peri Peri also received mentions alongside Somerset Gourmet Burger, Deluxe Kebab Shop, Jade Gardens, and Spice Club.

It's safe to say that Bridgwater's food scene has plenty on offer for all palettes.
