Fans of noodles and Asian-inspired dishes will have another option for lunch when Chopstix opens its latest restaurant at Swindon Designer Outlet this week.
The popular noodle bar chain will open its new Swindon restaurant at 11am on Thursday, 27 August, with a launch day offering free food and giveaways for early customers.
The first 100 customers through the doors will receive a free medium box, while 1,000 portions of spring rolls will also be handed out during the opening celebrations.
There will be further chances to win Chopstix merchandise, discount vouchers and app points throughout the day.
The new restaurant, at Unit 80, Swindon Designer Outlet, SN2 2DY, will create more than 20 jobs and have seating for 20 customers.
Opening hours will be 10.30am to 8pm from Monday to Saturday and 10am to 6pm on Sundays.
Chopstix has more than 140 locations across the UK and serves a mixture of noodle and rice dishes inspired by Asian flavours.
The menu includes familiar favourites such as Sweet & Sour Chicken, Salt ‘N’ Pepper Chicken and Chicken Katsu Curry, alongside the chain’s signature Caramel Drizzle Chicken.
Customers will also be able to order food for takeaway and delivery from the new restaurant, either through the Chopstix website and app or delivery services including Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat.
Gareth Brannigan, Head of New Store Openings at Chopstix, said the company had been encouraged by the response to its recent openings.
“In each new location we open, we have been blown away by the response from customers; so many people are looking for a quick, tasty and affordable option for lunch, and Chopstix is the ideal option for fresh flavours on-the-go,” he said.
“It’s a really exciting time for our business as a whole, and we’re excited to welcome our local fans to the store when we open our doors.”
Charlotte King, Marketing Manager at Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Swindon, said the new restaurant would add another choice for visitors.
“We’re delighted to welcome Chopstix to Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Swindon later this summer,” she said.
“The new opening is another exciting addition for our visitors and reflects our commitment to continually enhancing the experience at the outlet. Whether guests are taking a break between shopping or making a day of their visit, Chopstix will be a great new option for families, friends and food lovers alike.”
The opening follows a busy period of expansion for Chopstix. The company opened or refurbished 17 stores during 2025, including restaurants in Leeds, Huddersfield and Hull, as well as introducing its Chopstix 3.0 concept in Bridgend.
For those hoping to take advantage of the Swindon opening offer, registration is required in advance.
Chopstix opens at Unit 80, Swindon Designer Outlet, SN2 2DY, at 11am on Thursday, 27 August.
