wa! Curry

Tucked away in the Ozone Leisure Centre just outside Abingdon is a very different Indian restaurant. wa! Curry offers “curry with a cause”. As well as serving the purest of vegetarian food (meat dishes available too), for every curry that is bought a meal is donated to a child suffering from poverty somewhere in the world (see details of projects below).


What a pleasant surprise after sitting through a boring film in the icy depths of the Vue Cinema to find this warm, welcoming oasis of taste and flavour. Wa! is a simple format that works - offering good organic and vegetarian Indian dishes in a bright and friendly environment. Well worth a visit.

1st Aerials

For new TV aerial installations or problems with your existing reception, aerial or satellite services in the Abingdon or Wantage areas call 1st Aerials for professional advice. All engineers are police checked and CAI registered.


I had to pop out while your engineer was working on the dish for my garage conversion. I was comfortable letting your engineer complete the work on the roof while I was out and you even kindly agreed to invoice me later rather than waiting and expecting payment then and there. Very pleased.
