Review of Po Na Na Souk Bar
22 Apr 08, 21:30
Poo Na Na 
They've gone for a Morrocan feel here with arches everywhere and low seating areas in alcoves. It's a good place for a party but you know when you've had too much to drink because you start walking into what you think are other rooms through arches and meeting people who look just like you. Then you realise they're mirrors and it's probably time to go home.

Review of Splendid Pets

Splendid Pets
The people that run this pet shop really care about the wellbeing of their animals and the enthusiasm they have for their business is evident as soon as you walk through the door. The animals look happy, the cages are clean and the shop is well stocked with everything you would need for domestic animals as well as more exotic pets.

Review of Church Inn

The Church Inn
The food is good, kids eat free and dogs are allowed into the bar. The staff are efficient and friendly without being too intrusive. The pub itself is in a really lovely setting, opposite Chadderton Hall Park and set at the end of a cul de sac of cottages with a stream running alongside it. Sitting outside in Summer with a bowling green on one side and a cricket pitch on the other is really relaxing and peaceful.

Review of Failsworth Mill Antiques

Failsworth Mill and The Cavern Antiques Centre 
Think of house clearances from the homes of elderly deceased people or if you know me think of my grandparents attic. The mill is packed full of stuff and it very much depends on your personal taste as to whether you describe the stuff you see as retro, vintage, shabby chic or a just a pile of old junk. What should be celebrated about the mill is the diversity of the stuff on offer... books, cast iron fireplaces, props from films, tea sets, army surplus, old photos, vintage lace dresses, clocks, pianos, an ejector seat from an aircraft... the list is endless. Some of the furniture is actually really lovely, nothing is displayed with care but that adds to the charm of the place. Sandra's cafe is on site for strong tea and fry ups. There's a really good picture framing service here too. The turnover of stock isn't great so don't expect to visit and see a regular selection of new items and they're closed on Saturdays but if you've ever thought of picking up stuff to sell on ebay this would be good place to start.

Review of Hot Dogs Cool Cats

Hot Dogs Cool cats
Fab if you want to spoil your dog or your cat and are prepared to spend more on them than you would on a small child - crystal encrusted collars, porcelain food bowls, designer clothes... A good place for slightly mad but prosperous people who love animals. Or your dog on his birthday.

Review of The Art Cafe

Art Cafe
Really nice place - you get to have a coffee and combine it with some arts and crafts. Great if you have kids who like to make a mess - bring them here to do it. They get to paint their own pots, plates cups etc and then they're glazed and finished off ready to use at home

This is a really good place to visit for fancy dress, party stuff or bouncy castles. Clean costumes, a good range of stuff to choose from and helpful staff.

Review of Three Arrows Inn

Three Arrows
This is such a nice place for an informal relaxing lunch or dinner and a few drinks. A really old and individual pub tucked away off junction 19 of the M60 close to Heaton park. It's warm and inviting and the food is really good. There are old English favourites like fish and chips together with French favourites like moules frites. The Sunday carvery is impressive and it's reasonably priced too.

Review of Heroes & Legends

Heroes and Legends
A really interesting shop that's packed full of sporting and music memorabilia as well as framed, autographed prints. John the owner is really friendly and helpful and there are plenty of signings that take place at the store offering you the chance to meet your hero... Well worth a visit if you're stuck for something to buy your Dad!

Review of Happy Garden

Happy Garden
It makes me happy! There aren't many take aways that do squid but the Happy Garden do and they do it well. They always deliver in less time than they promise and the place itself is really clean. They're sometimes a bit heavy on the garlic and the chilli but if you have a hangover that's what you need!
