Review of Rococo Chocolates

I'm slobbering thinking about it 
Fantastic chocolate shop at the Fulham end of the Kings Road.
Particularly love the asparagus shaped milk and white chocolate.
If you want to impress someone, then this is the spot to buy a weekend present from.

Review of The Ship

BBQ-tastic
The Ship is a super spot in the summer, teaming with people all flocking for the river side views and the awesome BBQs.
Little known is the side dinning room which is great for parties in the winter and out of the way. They also do table service.
Happy Times.

Review of The White Horse

The Poney
Quite possibly the best summer pub in south west London.
Ok, so the beers are expensive, but they have one of the best collections of European and World beers in the UK.
Best of all in the summer it's heaving with good people that all spill out onto the green to drink, be merry and play frizby. Yay - role on Summer!

Review of The Hancock

Perfect Student Lunch
Best lunch spot ever. Cheap food with a loyalty card that gives you free food and drink.
They've got a large outside area and lots of pool tables so if you really can't be arsed with going back to lectures after lunch - the Scream at the Hancock is the place for you in the Toon - situated nicely between Claude Gibb and lectures.

Review of Collingwood Arms

Hidden Jesmond Hide away 
Great, when I was a student I used to go here all the time, so few peopel knew about it. I'm sure this is no longer the case as Jesmond is getting busier and busier.
If you fancy a quiet pint and chat with a mate away from the madness that is the Osborne Rd on a Saturday night then the Collingwood is your place.

Review of Rumi

Gross 
Really dodgy place that you should only stumble into if you can't make it over the bridge.
Slightly seedy bouncer that really gives you the once over before deciding whether you are alright (ie still standing) to go in.
Would avoid it if possible.

Review of Ad Lib

I'm with you guys
It's not a great place. Went on a date once and I couldn't hear a word the guy was saying - there was a DJ playing at full pelt to a practically empty bar.
Not a big fan, you can do better than that in the area.

Review of Hollywood Arms
16 Apr 08, 16:22
Great Pub
I almost always have my birthday party in the pub, it's got a great upstairs or back room.
The staff are always friendly, it's got a great atmosphere and you never have to queue for that long.
Outside heaters in the winter provide a great little haven for smokers.

Review of Beaufort House

More Cocktails
Like the others have said I agree it's great for cocktails.
Gets really rammed so if you're not very tall expect to have an uncompfortable night, but other than that it's a good warm up bar before going on somewhere else.
Location pretty good, lots of buses go past so easily reached.

Review of The Duke of Clarence

Generic 
Like many of the pubs in this chain Jeronimo Inns - they also own the Builders Arms, Harwood and East Hill, they are perfectly acceptable, but nothing new or particularly special.
They don't offer anything new but the food is good, the service friendly and reasonably priced.
