Review of Tai Pan
19 May 07, 08:35
super fast and super tasty chinese restaurant 
To be honest, I confess that most Chinese takeaways normally taste the same to me. Chicken Fried Rice, Crispy Duck, multiple other types, they all taste amazing, but often I struggle to tell apart the difference between the takeaways. Tai Pan might taste the same to me as most others, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it. What it really has going for it though is it's speed of delivery. Most takeaways will take what feels like an eternity to deliver, Tai Pan is outstanding though. I've eaten on multiple occasions from this place, and to this day, I can't think of a time that it has taken longer than twentyfive minutes for it to be delivered. You get good food, and you get it fast. What could be better?

Review of La Porchetta

not a restaurant for those of a nervous disposition
This lively and ever popular pizzeria makes for an enjoyable evening out. Offering a range of pizzas and pastas the prices are very reasonable indeed. There is a good drinks selection too all of equally good value. The pizzas are huge and would be a challenge for most people to finish. The restaurant is very popular with birthday groups as the staff really go all out for the celebrations. Happy Birthday is played over the restaurant's stereo system whilst seemingly all free members of staff crowd round the lucky birthday boy/girl singing and battering dustbin lids together. Perhaps not a restaurant for those of a nervous disposition , good fun for everyone else though!

Review of The Boston Arms

Really Nice Irish Pub
Tufnell Park is quite a quite area with more restaurants and shops than pubs. But one of the few pubs there is this Irish Pub. This isnt an Irish themed pub like the O'Neills chain pubs so It has a good atmosphere and a surprising number of younger people there. On the whole I really liked this pub. Guinness is supposedly better here than many other places in London and they have a pool table as well although dont expect to play on this on the weekend as its too busy.

Review of Game

Well informed staff, and some great products
When I'm shopping, I like to think that the staff that I'm going to talk to actually know about their product. Sometimes this is a farce and they know nothing, sometimes they're almost experts. The branch of Game in Canary Wharf is definately the latter example. Staffed with intelligent people who probably play their stock as much as they sell it, you can always guarantee that they can talk about whatever game you want for hours. The shop is also incredibly well stocked with the most recent games and a slightly older variety. Add to this a 2nd hand bin, and you know you'll find what you are looking for here.

Review of Turnam

Best Pub on Green Lanes
Tucked in between lots of shops, the Salisbury stands out like a saw thumb but for all the right reasons. Its a very nice and large victorian pub withg a good selection of beers and ales. It's a shame the pub is on green lanes as there isn't many good pubs around it but Well worth a visit anywhere, especially on Pub Quiz night mid week.

Review of Krispy Kreme

Delicious
This small franchise supplies a wide variety of doughnuts and is a delight for anyone with a sweet tooth. Doughnuts can be bought individually or in boxes of a dozen. The shop seems to do a constant trade throughout the day however staff are very quick and you shouldn't find yourself waiting too long to be served. Doughnuts are baked throughout the day. One tip is to keep an eye on the electric sign in the doorway , when lit it means a fresh batch of doughnuts have just come out of the oven , delicious!!

Review of The Knights Templar

Surprisingly Good Weatherspoons
This public house is part of the JD Wetherspoon chain. So as would be expected there is a wide range of beers, wines and spirits available for lower than average prices plus a fairly wide range of reasonably priced pub food. It also means no music in the bar and as a result the usual lack of atmosphere. Thankfully however the Knights Templar is not just another soulless Wetherspoon's. It's located in a very attractive building and the large split level pub is grandly decorated. There is a large screen on which all major sports events are shown on. A popular location amongst city workers for an after work pint.

Review of The Worlds End

Big Friendly Pub in Camden
This is the biggest pub ive been to in camden, and one of the best ones. Seats are limited so I expect to stand even when it doesnt look half full. Friday and Saturdays are its busiest times but theres a really good atmosphere then. Theres a downstairs part where bands play most nights from 9pm which vary from rock to metal to punk and costs about a fiver to get in. If you are in Camden go there if you can because most of the pubs in camden are too small to cope with the number of people it attracts
