Fishy 3*

This is a sea front musscles and sea food place which does some amazingly fresh and tasty sea food - however it's not to everyone's taste and the flavours are very strong so be warned.

Review of Greek Taverna Politis

It's All Greek To Me 3*

If you're Greek you will feel right at home here. I'm not Greek, but I am a geek so that's close. And I loved the food here, especially the vegetable casserole which was amazing and well spiced and they also do the most amazing dessert trolley.

This is a very nice posh restaurant in the heart of Bangor which does some amazing deals on food and drinks and the taste of the food is amazing too. They also give you a little chocolate to take home at the end which is lovely.

Review of Bagitall Leathergoods Shops

30 May 08, 16:39

Leather Is The Future 3*

This is a great place to get some fine leather goods at a really remarkable price - they do a great job of selling properly cured goods - unlike my jacket I got on the market a few years ago which started to decompose after a few months and really smelt bad. These ones are pukka though.

Review of Garnedd Wen Gift Shop

Life's a gift 3*

The souvenirs they sell in this lovely local gift shop could make your special someone's face light up - especially the torch which is branded with the local area and has a really bright bulb. Excellent gift idea.

Review of Eb's Coffee Shop

30 May 08, 16:35

Super Cuppa 3*

This is a nice coffee shop where they make sure all the tables are kept clean by wiping them obsessively - even when you're sitting there! And the detergent on the cloths stinks. So that kind of spoilt the "rich aroma of the coffee beans" for me.

Review of Premier Late Shop

The Future's Green 3*

This is a nice modern shop selling nothing but Orange mobile - they have some great deals on offer and their choice of handsets is good - shame you cant get an iPhone on Orange at the moment cos that was the one I wanted and Orange do the best tarriffs.

Review of Cavalcade Fancy Dress Shops

Fancy 3*

This is a well stocked fancy dress shop but to be honest it's a bit small and I have seen better ones. The costumes sometimes look a bit old and the service is unenthusiastic.

Review of Caravan Accesory Shop

30 May 08, 15:28

awning 3*

Not everyone can spell the word awning but it's an important part of your caravan and keeps you dry if you want to sit out because it always rains on caravanning holidays. They also do all your cutlery and pans designed for storing in your caravan cupboards so extra small and clever stuff like portable satellite dishes and little LCD TVs.

Relaxing Haircuts 3*

This is the place to come if you want a haircut that's relaxing - they play some soothing panpipe music in the salon while you're getting trimmed and their stylists have gentle calming voices. The only sound is the gentle snipping of the scissors. It really is tranquil and relaxing here.

Review of Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem

20 May 08, 18:10

Spookily Old 3*

This is apparently the oldest pub in England and it's like a warren of caves where someone like Bilbo Baggins would feel right at home. When you go up the stairs to the top floor there's a big table and loads of medieval chairs - a real experience and apparently it's also haunted! Great place to come for a drink though.

Review of Barnham Kebab & Pizza House

24 Apr 08, 13:42

Suspicious Value 3*

I'm always suspicious of places that do kebabs and pizzas becuase I dont believe you can be a Jack of All Trades without being a Master Of None. And with this place, I'm afraid my fears were well founded. It's not very tasty. On the plus side they do a doner meat pizza, which is a strange fusion of turkish and italian cuisine!!

Review of Pizza Hut

24 Apr 08, 13:36

Average Hut 3*

This Pizza Hut only gets 3 stars from me because when I visited the spout in the Ice Cream Factory had a green fungoid growth on the tip which totally ruined my sense of contentment and made me most suspicious of everything and everyone.

Review of Dominos Pizza

24 Apr 08, 13:26

Average Dominos 3*

There's nothing impressive about this Dominos, the food was as expected, delivered on time and nice and hot due to their special heat insulated pizza boxes which ensure that the food always arrives hot. It left me slightly unfulfilled though as the pizza was slightly chewy and there was not enough cheese.

Review of Dominos Pizza

24 Apr 08, 13:22

Pricey But Good 3*

You know you'll get a good pizza at Dominoes and this branch is no exception. The only problem is the price and to be honest for the same price you can get a takeaway from Pizza Hut or pretty much any pizza restarant so this is what normally puts me off. However they deliver fast and they have special insulated boxes so it's always piping hot.

Review of Shop@Panasonic

23 Apr 08, 18:57

Simply Panasonic 3*

The selection in this store is limited by the fact that they only stock Panasonic products, however in much the same way that the Sony Centre reaches a market who have decided what they want, this is a great place to find a high standard of service and the knowledge that comes from staff who work for the company who produce the goods that they are selling.

Review of HMV

23 Apr 08, 18:45

His Master's Voice? 3*

HMV is somewhere I rarely go since the age of internet downloading but I would be sad to see them close. They have a great selection of music and it's somehow easier to get inspired when you're in a shop flicking through CDs and listening to music than staring at a computer screen. They also have loads of DVD box sets and now Blu Ray discs as well. Knowledgable and friendly staff and a great choice.

Review of Games Workshop

23 Apr 08, 18:42

Dungeons And Adolescents 3*

I grew out of role playing games around the same time I discovered girls, but for those of us who are more Peter Pan than Peter Andre, this will be their favourite shop. You can't fault them for knowing their market and making sure they stock the essentials, from the latest RPGs to classics like Talisman (my favourite) and of course Warhammer, Judge Dredd, D&D and the like. I went past and they were hosting a wargames day with loads of kids battling on a giant board with little lead figures. Nice to see them passing their anoraks on to the next generation ;)

Review of Tesco Stores

23 Apr 08, 00:36

Average Tescos 3*

There's nothing about this Tesco which will shock or surprise you, The same value and service you expect from the chain and the staff seem to be content with their jobs even though they arent especially friendly.

Review of Safeway

23 Apr 08, 00:30

Now A Morrisons 3*

Morrisons took over Safeways and now all the stores are Morrisons. Which is a shame because I preferred it when it was Safeways. This busy little store is in the middle of Leeds pedestrianised area and hard to get to by car, unless you want to pay to park, so I'm not really sure who actually shops here. It's OK inside, but nothing special.

Review of Morrisons

Busy Busy Busy 3*

Always a nightmare to get round with narrow aisles and way too many people whatever time it is, and long queues at the tills, this is the busiest supermarket I've ever seen, and that's not a compliment. Seriously, go into Headinley and you'll have a much better experience. Oh and the carpark underneath charge you unless you spend over a tenner which is stupid.

Review of Andrews & Jills

Jill & Andrew Own This Shop 3*

As you might expect, the proprieters of this humble corner shop go by the names Jill and Andrew and its every bit the family business the name suggests. Friendly and welcoming with the emphasis on service you'll feel right at home.

Review of Sportsman Inn The Public House

21 Apr 08, 18:52

Sporty 3*

This is a bar in Cliffsend which I dont go to much because it's all about the sport - they have all the big football matches on the big screen and it's very testosterone fuelled. Great if you like that sort of thing, less great if you just want a quiet night out.

Review of The Landmark London Gift Shop

21 Apr 08, 18:39

Tourist Tat 3*

If you've always wanted your own model of Big Ben you will love this place. T Shirts with Union Jacks on, phone box money boxes, pens, badges, ash trays. Any tourist tat you want can be found here. High on choice, low on quality. But a good place to find postcards if you need to send one.

Review of London Eye Co

21 Apr 08, 18:37

Just their offices 3*

This is just the business address of the London Eye company - you need to go to the actual London Eye at the side of the Thames if you want to ride on it!

Review of KFC Rickmansworth Express Restaurant

21 Apr 08, 18:18

Clucking Marvellous 3*

This is like a normal KFC but without the annoyingly long queues. It's not called express for nothing. You will get the usual standard of kentucky fried chicken but much faster than you would normally expect. Can't fault it! The Colonel would be proud.

Review of McDonald's Restaurants

21 Apr 08, 18:03

Not one of the best maccy D's 3*

This is a slightly disappointing branch of the global fast food giant. For a start, they seem reluctant to clear the trays from the tables or mop the mud off the floor and although I cant blame the restaurant for this, there was a child crying throughout my burger and most of the fries. I wasn't a happy eater.

Review of Timmy The Chinese Restaurant

21 Apr 08, 17:08

Chinese Mallet! 3*

Always makes me think of the Wide Awake Club when I hear of a Chinese called Timmy but this is actually a great place to eat with a really good menu and good service, it's definitely smewehere I would consider returning to.

Review of Drifto's

21 Apr 08, 16:39

Not a Bad Choice 3*

If you're looking for take away food, dont be put off by the name. Although to be fair you will probably be too hammered to even know what the name is because the bright lights will draw you inside to choose from a wide selection of tasty foodstuffs. Well worth a stagger.

Review of King May

21 Apr 08, 16:36

Very fast Food 3*

I was amazed at the speed of service in this place it was like lightning - the food came out really quickly and I was able to eat it at leisure. Very pleased with the service although the food wasn't particularly well cooked.

Review of Double Dragon

21 Apr 08, 16:33

One Of Many 3*

There are plenty of Chinese take aways in broadstairs so why should you choose this one? Well there is no reason to choose this one because there are other places which are a lot better. The only good thing about it is the name is the same as an old 80's computer game.

Review of Mala Tandoori

21 Apr 08, 16:32

below average indian 3*

This is a takeaway first and foremost so dont expect restaurant standard food and you won't be disappointed. It doesnt claim to be anything special which is a good plan because it really isnt.

Review of Sampan House

21 Apr 08, 16:29

Average Chinese 3*

There's nothing special about this Chinese. It's pretty much what you'd expect. Nothing major to complain about just the usual selection of food cooked at a reasonable standard. The sweet and sour chicken was a bit stodgy and prawn balls lacked any crispiness but the crackers were ok and service friendly and prompt.
