Walk down Winchcombe Street towards the town centre and you'll spot The Istanbul Kitchen tucked among the independent shops and cafes that make this stretch properly worth exploring. Inside, it's warm and unpretentious—the kind of place where families, couples, and groups of mates all feel equally at home. The menu does what it does well: kebabs that have actual char and flavour, proper mezze platters you want to pick through, and enough variety that you're never bored whether you're a regular or first-timer.
