Octagon - Carta

Always good food and great service , good menu range , but my mate and I always have the same each week , which is cooked fresh each time , spot on

Situated in town centre with big windows perfect for people watching! Food was served quickly and piping hot! Great food at a good price. I highly recommend the breakfast and the loaded fries!

This is a regular spot to have a cup of tea or coffee close to the bus station. It serves typical cafe food such as sandwiches, cakes and hot food. There's always a seat to be had and the staff are always pleasant and friendly. Ver carta

Not a place I would visit again, service slow. Probably the worst sausage and bacon roll I have ever eaten. The roll was cold and soggy, the bacon just about ok and the sausage was pasty at best and lacked any taste. At least the coffee was warming.

From J Boy of Derby Always call in here whilst waiting for bus changes at nearby Swindon bus station. Always found the staff friendly and the tea and coffee very good at a reasonable price Situated at the back of the bus station they do breakfasts as well,pity there is no outside seating.

I dropped in here while waiting for a coach to Heathrow. Plenty of seating and the staff seemed friendly. I ordered a sausage sandwich and a tea. Tea was hot and strong and served in a mug. The sandwich was offered on a choice of bread and had a generous filling of sausage. Food was cooked quickly and brought to my table with a smile. Would defiantly drop in here again. Ver carta

Have been several times mostly early in the morning before a journey. Staff are not really interested in providing anything other than a basic service. Serve yourself sugar with a dirty plastic spoon but at Starbucks prices. Wouldn't go there if anyone else was open that early. In fact stay at home an extra 1/4 hour and spare yourself the indignity of having to ask for a key to the toilet.

I popped in here with my Guide Dog and my New Partner who popped down from Oxford to see me. I had The large Breakfast and a cuppa. Food was delicious and i thoroughly enjoyed it : My partner only had a bowl of chips which she enjoyed. I do think with Tea it should come with the tea bag in the cup on it's own with hot water and not ready made !! so we are able to make the tea or Standard Coffee as strong we like to make it Maybe with a miniature jug of Milk with the choice of Blue Top' Green Top' or Red Top' asked at the counter when purchasing tea or a standard coffee : And Maybe a little pot of sugar instead of Paper Packets which hold hardly any sugar in lol !! I would definitely recommen...

Decided to revisit The Octagon last week on two occasions after a few years abroad, The first time was a disappointment so I decided to go back a couple of days later to see if it was just a one-off. Sadly it wasn’t! Having heard they had changed hands recently, my sister and I went for some lunch. After climbing through the mess of binbags, cardboard and bird excrement outside the doors we found the place to be empty and I can understand why... This restaurant used to be one of my favourite when I was in working in town, situated in the prime spot between the bus station and the Tri-centre buildings. The milky coffee and array of home made cakes (especially the scones) made it worth walking... Ver carta
