Review of Sainsburys
17 May 08, 17:32
Not my number one 
I'm a Tesco girl...pure and simple.
I do have a nose round this branch of Sainsburys now and then as it's near work and is pretty huge. They do seem to stock absolutely everything and I quite like some of the stuff in their TU clothing range. However the food is just that bit more expensive...I'd never do my weekly shop here if I'm honest.
The car park always does my head in too...you always feel like you're miles away from the store. I'll stick to what I know I think.

Review of Martins
17 May 08, 10:40
How much?! 
49p for a KitKat Chunky? You're having a giraffe surely??!
This branch of Martin's in Portslade is the closest 'convenience' store to my place of work so I don't have a lot of choice in the matter when in need but it is SO EXPENSIVE. They don't seem to have an awful lot of stock either and in the summer it gets so hot in there your choclate bar is a puddle before you even unwrap it.
On a brighter note...the nice girl that does the early shift is friendly and chatty...despite looking a little stressed most of the time. I can only imagine she doesn't see much of the massive profit they're making!

Review of BP Service Stations Hove Filling Station
14 May 08, 18:28
I'm a regular
Yes...having an M&S Food attached to my nearest petrol station is an absolute bonus. I go every Saturday to stock up for my shift at work...although it does mean I spend way too much on lunch...and eat way too many nice things!
However...there are two big problems here. First of all there's not enough parking out front for those not filling up at the pumps...it's chaos out there. Also the queues inside are unbelievable...not enough staff with too few tills open. Rubbish.

Review of Worldwide Wok

Now Stones Cafe
This cafe on Boundary Road Portslade does the job nicely...it's only a few months old and has a nice modern, clean feel. I've only eaten there at lunchtime...they have a decent selection of snacks on the menu and the food is of good quality. My only gripe when I last visited was that they don't sell crisps...what am I meant to put in my sandwich??! They did let me go across the road to buy some and eat them on the premises though!
The staff are warm and welcoming and food is cooked to order so that can sometimes mean a bit of a wait. All in all though one of the better lunchtime haunts in the salubrious town of Peurto de Salade.

Review of Woodies Longboard Diner
24 Apr 08, 17:58
Oh. Yeah. Baby. 
Yet another great breakfast place in the Hove area...there are plenty of them...but Woodies has its own special twist.
It's as authentic an American Diner as it can be considering it's in East Sussex...black & white tiled floor...50s inspired art...a huge juke box as you walk in the door...oh and waitresses in cute white 50s outfits & plimsolls. My male friends seem to like going there A LOT.
The breakfasts are outstanding...they do a gigantic fry-up...or you could try the pancake stacks instead drowned in maple syrup. Heaven. Then there's the shakes. Oh and the burgers. Yum! They come with tinsell sticks stuck in the top and little American flags. I'm so excited at the thought I'm going to have to go for a lie-down...

Review of Post Office
24 Apr 08, 12:42
They post your stuff
This is the nearest Post Office to my place of work...nice and handy. They are a lovely bunch...a smile awaits you as you reach the counter. If you just need stamps and there's a big queue for the windows...just buy them at the fag counter at the front. You can buy singles too...you don't have to get a whole book you know.
Apart from the actual post office services the rest of the 'shop' is a little lacking in other post-officey type products. There seems to be a lot of empty space...but to be honest it's never really affected me that much.

Review of Paws & Claws
24 Apr 08, 09:02
For your furry friend
Yes we're a pet-crazy nation and I'm no exception to this rule. I just have the one...a cat...but he is like a son to me. You know how it is.
Granted I buy his food in my local supermarket but I go to Paws & Claws for everything else to keep my puss purring. They stock a vast range of products for every pet you can possibly imagine. The staff are genuine animal lovers and happy to help with any questions you have. I always buy my cat treats there and toys too...the best thing EVER though was the mouse-shaped cat bed I bought for my boy. So cool!
If you're in need of any kind of pet supplies this is your traditional pet shop with everything you could possibly want in stock.

Review of ATS Euromaster
18 Apr 08, 18:28
Quick, efficient service
Scotty and his team at ATS Euromaster in Portslade will sort your tyre worries out in no time at all!
They're a smiley, helpful bunch who know their trade well and get you back on the road with minimum fuss and at reasonable prices. They're easy to find too...right next door to the best radio station in Sussex...Southern FM.
Next time you get a flat (tyre I mean)...get straight to them...you won't be disappointed.

Review of Southern Grill
18 Apr 08, 18:18
Best toast in Sussex!
I work in the Portslade area and wherever you work you need a good greasy spoon to keep you going. The Southern Grill is just that plus a little bit more.
Me and the girls from work visit at least once a week for a large brew and a pile of white, buttered toast. For some reason toast always tastes better when someone else makes it but somehow the Southern Grill team have got this down to a fine art. Just the right level of crispiness and melting butter without being in the slightest bit soggy. Where did they learn that?! At Toast School no doubt.
When we're up for a proper treat then we go the whole hog and plump for the fry-up. They'll do pretty much any combination you desire and it doesn't arrive swimming in grease. It's dead cheap too and you always get a big smile from the staff when you walk in the door.
Now I'm hungry...
