Some amazing fresh haddock in this fish and chip shop where the staff wear traditional aprons which you xsort of come to expect from a fish and chip shop and they genuinely fry the chips to perfection.

Get Better 4*

If you blame your guitar for your bad playing, bring it here and you will have no excuse any more cos they can bring any guitar back to 100% health! And they are not too expensive either considering the value of your instrument.

Review of Men Only Barbers Shop

Sexist? 4*

It could be seen as discriminating however I checked and they said they would be happy to give a men's haircut to a woman if she asked. So if you're a bit butch you could come here. They do nice hair cuts and are cheap.

This is a womens clothing shop - the cloth they sell is the kind that's already been made into garments. And they look very stylish and are at some quite cheap prices. I think it's also all locally made.

Review of Bag Shop

30 May 08, 15:10

Bag A Bargain 4*

If a bargain bag is what you are after, the Bag Shop is the place to come. They may not do Louis Vuitton but they do the budget equivalent. Maybe it's Lewis Vittie but they look the business and dont cost big bucks!

Review of Eccleshall Fish & Chip Shop

24 Apr 08, 14:20

Perfect Chippy 4*

If like me you are a bit of a fish and chip connoiseur you will adore this chippy - they do the tastiest battered cod anywhere around and always serve with a smile and a wink - well worth a trip if you live in a 7 or 8 mile radius. Otherwise, I'd find somewhere a bit closer.

Review of Guitar Bizarre

24 Apr 08, 14:16

How Bizarrre? Not very 4*

There's not thing bizarre about Guitar Bizarre. They sell guitars. If they sold trombones, that would be bizarre, but this is pretty much what it says on the sign. If you have ever though of taking up this instrument they will give you all the advice you need to be the next Jimi Hendrix - you just need the guitar and the talent.

All Gone Pete Tong 4*

You will get coffee here, that much is true. However you won't meet Carl Cox or Norman Cook in this coffee shop, so maybe the name's a little misleading. Service is great and the coffee's nice, not your fancy starbucks stuff just normal coffee!!

Review of The Little Dudes Shop

Top marks!

Holiday! 4*

This is a great little privately run travel agent who will give you a great personal service and do what they can to undercut the big boys although to be honest they are not brilliant at getting the best deals due to lack of clout.

Review of Pizza Hut

24 Apr 08, 14:01

Welcoming and Friendly 4*

The staff here were amazing, they were so friendly and welcoming and made sure we were happy throughout the meal, our waitress, Becky, was superb and we left her a nice big tip. More than just the usual "do you want any sides with that" and "watch out, the pan's hot", she went the extra mile and really made us smile. Top service. Good pizza too!

Review of Dominos Pizza

Domino Quality 4*

Quality take away pizza, slightly more expensive than average but great service and a nice product that will be delivered nice and hot and ready to enjoy. Only negative from my experience was the pizza wasnt fully cut so we had to get knives out to divide the slices.

Review of Perfect Pizza

Classic Domino Magic 4*

This is another example of the fine quality of this chain of pizza delivery connoiseurs. They know what they're doing and they always deliver the quality you expect. This branch does the brand proud - my food was excellent, prompt and piping hot as expected.

Great stuff!

Review of Italian Pizza Factory

Authentic Taste of Italy 4*

This is the closest you can get to genuine Italian pizza to take away in this area. The staff are mostly Italian and they take enormous pride in the preparation of some really amazing pizzas it's like they are creating a renaissance master piece. Toppings are fresh and juicy and service excellent. Highly recommended.

Da Godfather 4*

No danger of horses heads in your pizzas here. Well, as far as I know anyway. They do great takeaway pizza with plenty of cheese however let it cool before you eat it because I got a stringy bit of molten mozzarella on my chin and a nasty burn. A victim of The Godfather.

Review of Great Italian Pizza Co

24 Apr 08, 13:39

It's Italian and it's Great 4*

This place lives up to its name, providing fantastic good quality italian pizzas and great prices with service that can't be faulted. Check out the Quatro Staggioni pizza which features 4 kinds of mushrooms - I didnt even know there were 4 different mushroom varieties!

Review of Pizza Hut

Hut Tastic 4*

This is a great branch of Pizza Hut which is perfect for enjoying pizza when you're on holiday in Bognor Regis - we went to Butlins and managed to sneak out to Pizza Hut for some seriously tasty stuffed crust joy - love this place and would live here if they had beds.

Review of Pizza Hut

24 Apr 08, 13:32

Hit The Hut 4*

You'll feel like Jabba The Hutt when you leave this place (Star Wars reference) because there is sooo much pizza you will be bloated and fat but very happy. Best strategy for buffet success is to cut the crusts off then you can eat more. Also it takes the brain 20 minutes to register that you're full up so if you eat fast you can get more down before you have to stop but be ready for a lie down after because it makes you very tired.

Review of Pizza Express Restaurants

24 Apr 08, 13:31

Great Pizza Great Expense 4*

This is a good quality Pizza Express but the prices are very high for what you get, which is not a lot of food and on my pizza there was a small garden of bitter stringy lettuce growing on the top. Not as nice as Pizza Hut and no where near as cheap.

Review of Pizza Express Restaurants

24 Apr 08, 13:25

Excellent Express 4*

This branch of Pizza Express is above average although not quite as nice as the one in the middle of Manchester. The layout is fresh and open and it seems quite posh when you first come in. It's reassuring to be able to see into the kitchen and the staff are smart and professional. Great pizza too! Yummy.

Review of Pizza Hut

24 Apr 08, 13:23

A Good Branch 4*

This global pizza empire is everywhere but dont expect every branch to be the same - there are big differences in service and quality between them. Fortunately, this is one of the better ones and on my recent visit I found the staff to be polite and helpful and my pizza was very well prepared.

Review of Pizza Del Mundo

24 Apr 08, 13:20

World Class 4*

Pizza Del Mundo means Pizzas Of The World and it's no surprise to find world class pizzas here to be taken away. You can expect speedy service and a quality pizza to enjoy and the staff seem to be italian which is an unusual bonus. Check it out.

Review of Papas Pizza

24 Apr 08, 13:16

The Daddy 4*

This is the Daddy of takeaway pizza places - they are lightning fast, the bases are fresh which makes a big difference, and the standards dont seem to drop when its late at night - you always get a really good, restaurant quality pizza to take away. Get it while it's hot!

Review of Game

23 Apr 08, 18:40

The Name Of The Game 4*

Comprehensive, well stocked computer game store which caters for all the major platforms and offers prices which are akin to those of their main competitor Gamestation which is situated close by, enabling you to easily compare prices between the two, but dont expect them to be at all different! The staff here are friendly and the store is slightly more welcoming so this is the one that I normally end up making the purchase in.

Review of Gamestation

23 Apr 08, 18:37

Call of Computy Games 4*

Masses of choice, all the top games, knowledgable staff and a good selection of second hand games. And just across the mall from their main competitors Game, there's really not a lot in it between these two computer game giants. I tend to go to Game rather than Gamestation but the prices are usually the same in either place. Not that I'd accuse anyone of price fixing. Ever.

Grand Theft Encouraged 4*

This is one place where you know the people who serve you probably know more than you do about the products. They gave me a really odd look when I bought Lost The Computer Game and when I brought it back the next day because it was awful they completely agreed and gave me a full refund! Which was nice of them. Although they could have warned me first.

Selection of games is great and covers all major platforms and they also buy back and sell second hand games which makes them much more affordable.

Review of Tesco

Review of Sainsburys

23 Apr 08, 00:38

My Local Sainsburys 4*

I shopped here for several years quite happily! They keep it well stocked, the salad bar is lovely and there's always space to park. As with most supermarkets, busy times are superbusy, and I have since found much bigger supermarkets so it seems small in comparison but there's actually nothing wrong with this place.

Review of Tesco Stores

23 Apr 08, 00:26

Mother Of All Tescos 4*

If Tesco were an Octopus with tentacles of varying lengths and thicknesses this would be it's fattest tendril. It's a massive store, crammed to the brim with value, and what I like most is that they encourage you to be eco-friendly with Green clubcard points whenever you reuse a carrier bag. Hats off to the Tesco.

Review of Sainsbury's

23 Apr 08, 00:24

Olive Heaven 4*

The best thing about this well stocked and reasonably sized store is that they turn a blind eye if you fill a pot in the olive bar and walk round the store eating them as you shop. I do pay for them (but you might spot me sneakily topping up the pot before heading to the til)! Anyway, I'm sure Jamie Oliver would do the same. If he got paid what I do.

They are opening Europe's largest Sainsburys in late 2008 opposite The Hub, so expect this store to close at that point and an even better Sainsburys to open. Who knows they might even have a bigger olive bar.

23 Apr 08, 00:18

Handy Local Tesco's 4*

This is a real convenience store with the emphasis on convenient. Just round the corner from my flat, which is convenient for me, anyway, this place does most of the essentials at a higher price than a normal tesco's but is perfect for an emergency pasta mission or when you desperately need some coke (happens to me!). Well stocked and welcoming - recommended.

Everything you never knew you wanted 4*

I could quite easily spend a fortune in this shop and still not buy anything I actually need. Also, it's a mecca for lazy Christmas shoppers with no imagination who like to think they are original. You're not. Everyone knows where you got that neon sign/lava lamp/plasma globe/enormous wine glass/bar butler/electric hampster from. And they will hope to god you kept the receipt.

God Bless The Humble Corner Shop 4*

Historians say the Romans built straight roads because they weren't fans of corner shops. If that's true, they all deserved to perish at Pompey because this place is brilliant - you can get everything you need as well as everything you don't need. Staff speak excellent English. God love 'em.

This is a "Fun Pub" in the true sense of the phrase - fun with the emphasis on insanity, you wont be able to have a quiet drink here, especially on the Friday or Saturday night when the chavs of Fannit come in their hoardes! Avoid unless you are one in which case - bring on the fun!! Yes.

Big church 4*

Westminster Abbey is breathtaking inside and for someone with no religious beliefs it was a humbling experience for me, seeing the place where Diana was married and laid to rest and being in the presence of so much history - dont dismiss this place just because you're not religious. It's amazing. And free.

Vertigo 4*

Hello Hello! I was ironically listening to U2 on my iPod while I went up on this thing and it was pretty scary if I'm honest, because the pods are really clear glass so you feel like you're floating. Very smooth, very slow, and very expensive this is one big wheel you'll only go on once and they put lots of people in each car so it's not very private either.

There is a public gallery in parliament where you can watch debates actually happen. Apparently there are also about a dozen bars inside which explains a lot.

21 Apr 08, 17:03

Refurbished! 4*

This place has just undergone something of a transformation with a new menu and new entertainment in the evenings it's definitely taking a new look at the Foresters in Stony Stratford. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Review of Superdish Take Away Food Shops

21 Apr 08, 16:37

Super Duper 4*

This place is called Super Dish for a reason. The food is Superb and it obviously can be eaten from a dish if you like, although the polystyrene tray provided is more than adequate. Good choice of takeaway food, seems reasonably clean - I didnt see any rats, and the staff are great too. Super.

Review of Roosters

21 Apr 08, 16:27

Finger Lickin Good 4*

Southern Fried Chicken is the order of the day at this UK take away inspired by KFC. It's simple, cheap take away food which will fill a hole after a night out on the town but dont expect it to be courdon bleu. More courdon brown.

Review of New Golden Palace

21 Apr 08, 16:25

Golden Quality 4*

Showering you with golden quality is this excellent chinese. Not sure what happened to the Old Golden Palace but this place has been going for years, doing good honest chinese food at reasonable prices. Seems to be family run and the staff are friendly and helpful all the time. Great stuff.

Review of Da's Thai Diner & Take Away

21 Apr 08, 16:24

Thai Delights 4*

For sit down or take away Thai food this place is hard to beat in Thanet at least. A great selection on the menu and all cooked to perfection you can have a thai banquet in your own dining room. Check out the yellow curry, my favourite and dont forget the sticky rice. Oriental Flavours at their most edible.

Review of Chinaman

21 Apr 08, 16:11

Politically Incorrect And Sexist?? 4*

I dont think you're allowed to call Chinese individuals "China men" anymore but in a sense, this is testament to the length of time this place has been open. Good, honest chinese food for the hungry with a tasty quality that's hard to beat locally. Recommended.

Review of Ace Travel Connections

21 Apr 08, 15:57

Ace! 4*

Ace is the word for this cheap and reliable taxi company. No problems with these guys although you need to book ahead if you want a taxi on a Saturday or Friday night because I'm sure they just take the phone off the hook when they are fully booked or quote you a 2 hour wait!

Review of Ye Olde Crown

21 Apr 08, 15:22

King Of Pubs? 4*

This is a pub that should be crowned because it's really rather good. Nice, old fashioned and full of friendly welcoming faces, you won't be disappointed. Good selection of real ales and cask beers on tap and nice decor at reasonable prices. Top notch.

Review of 19th Hole

21 Apr 08, 15:21

Fancy a round? 4*

This is the old golfers joke that they spent a while on the 19th hole - golf courses generally only have 18 holes so that's why this pub is called the 19th - because after the 18th hole, the next logical destination is to go the pub and drink some beer. Nothing will disappoint you about this pub - it's a good honest local.

Review of Tartar Frigate

21 Apr 08, 15:13

Saucy Tartars 4*

This is nothing to do with the stuff you have with your scampi, but there is a definite nautical connection with this place. Think shipping history and maybe a bit Cap'n Pugwash in a pub that makes you think you've travelled back to the maritime past of Broadstairs. Nice, friendly but slightly local so you need to settle in before you come here or you might feel a bit unwelcome.

Review of Prince Albert

21 Apr 08, 15:10

Very Traditional 4*

This is a realy old fashioned pub and no mistake. You get exactly what you expect at the Albert. You can almost smell the salty fisher men coming through the door and the old oak walls and beams give it a real character all of its own. Recommended.

Review of Thorley Taverns

21 Apr 08, 15:09

Party Place 4*

Thorley's has been synonymous with bringing mediterranean style partying to thanet! Frank Thorley is the man behind this place where you can expect DJs getting the crowd going and a queue at the door every Friday and Saturday night. Inside it's nice and cheap and they used to have Tim Stewart from invicta there as a resident DJ in the early 90's.

Review of The Rose

21 Apr 08, 15:07

Tucked Away 4*

Tucked away behind the hustle and bustle of the main road in Broadstairs round the corner is The Rose, which is small and basic inside with a good pool table and friendly staff but it's nothing special and doesnt have the sea views of somewhere like the Dickens.

Review of The Railway Tavern

21 Apr 08, 15:05

Great Place To Start 4*

If you're having a bit of a pub crawl down the hill from the station into Broadstairs this is the perfect starting point. A nice but slightly small local pub where the beer is brilliant, cheap and plentiful and they dont seem to mind people coming in in high spirits.

Review of Diamond Pizza & Balti House

21 Apr 08, 11:40

Tasty and quick 4*

This is a great place to go if you just want a really quick pizza on your way home and also if you are likely to change your mind and want an indian they do that as well. Bonus.

Review of Perfect Pizza

21 Apr 08, 00:28

Bad News For Fat Fighters 4*

This is a very handy takeaway if you're going to Tokyo Project cos it's just on the corner and it's amazing. The best thing about it is the deal where it's the same price for any pizza, any size which makes you logically order the biggest pizza they do with everything on it. This is a large part of the reason I'm now on a diet. Great quality, quite pricey (unless you avail yourself of the offers) but well above the average pizza takeaway standard.

Review of Pizza Hut

21 Apr 08, 00:20

Handy for the Odeon 4*

This is a great Pizza Hut for movie fans. Next door to the Odeon multiplex at Sandbrook Park in Rochdale, just at the top of A627M, they do a deal where your receipt gets you a discount at the cinema. What more excuse do you need to stuff yourself on deep pan delights?

Review of Pizza House Co

21 Apr 08, 00:01

Better than average takeaway 4*

While you could say dont judge a pizza by the box, in this case it's not a bad move. The branding of this local pizza takeaway is so professional I thought it was part of a national chain. But it's not. However the quality of the product is far superior to what you expect from a local pizza takeaway - you wont be disappointed.

Review of Pizza Hut

20 Apr 08, 23:49

one of the best pizza huts 4*

I once sat in this pizza hut for about 3 hours drinking refillable tangos and having a really nice chat with an old friend. It's lovely, clean and tidy and the staff are really nice too. Service is excellent and the quality of the food is superb. Recommnded especially if you're going to the cinema at Vue which is just across the carpark.

Review of Pizza Express Restaurants

20 Apr 08, 23:36

It's not that bad! 4*

I think the previous reviewer must have just gone on a bad day (or perhaps she went to the one in centre MK which does get a lot busier). Anyway, I've been to this restaurant a couple of times and always had a good experience so I thought I'd come to its defense. The food's nice, staff are helpful and I didnt have any problems with the service.
