Oscar’s Grill, Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire (kpw* for Week 25)

[*kpw = kebab per week for 2013, as noted in an earlier post and the 27th entry for the 2013 Challenge]

Famished from the shamefully slow race and the rain-soaked runs to the start and from the finish of the Broad Town 5, Oscar’s Grill was a welcome sight and I dragged my wet, tired ass in for a kebab.  The reviews have been good for this one, but it should be noted that this is a small town with an inordinate number of pubs nearby so the judgement rendered by the other reviewers might not be of the most reliable quality.

However, the small kebab was made of good quality döner–neither fat nor dry and salty but not perniciously so.  Veg was standard for kebab shops which is to say: awesome.  The pita was yummy and the blackened bits from heating it over the charcoals enhanced the fresh bread.

I was wary of the chilli sauce, though, and the first bite confirmed my fear that it was catsup based. This concern turned out to be meritless, though; the chillis ground into the base were sneaky devils and quite warm and flavourful from bite two onward.  Well done, Oscar.
