Review of McDonald's Restaurants
30 May 08, 13:18
In the good old days... 
...this particular McDonalds was clean and tidy. A common meeting point, it would get extremely busy with youngsters, particularly in the evenings cos it was really cool it opened late! Now, it seems to be just as busy but with foreign students. There is hardly any seating downstairs and the upstairs gets extremely noisy! Best to take away if you're going here at all - but I wouldn't recommend it.

Review of Snaxaway Sandwich Delivery Services
30 May 08, 13:11
A good choice 
These guys have a great selection of lunches on their menu. The sandwiches are always pretty good and they're happy to make a special order if you have a specific request. The Jacket potatoes aren't as good but portions quite large. As long as you order by 11am they've always delivered on time, even if it's a big order. Very reasonable too.

Review of Harpers Book Shop
30 May 08, 13:06
Don't get lost in there! 
A rambly old bookshop that is crammed full of second hand books, you can easily while away a whole afternoon here. You won't find the latest bestsellers here but you'll always get a real find - really random selection but the owner is extremely knowledgable - he's probably read every single book in there!

Review of NatWest
30 May 08, 13:01
Handy
Just around the corner from work, this branch is great for me. They only have 2 cashiers but if you can pop in outside of busy times (ie lunch) you don't normally have to wait for long. The staff are all extremely friendly, with the Bank Manager always on hand for a chat if needs be.

Review of Tesco Stores
30 May 08, 12:58
A good stop off point!
This little Tesco Express is a great place to stop off for bits and bobs. They have a good selection of fresh food on offer, although the veg is a little limited. They have recently installed the self service tills, which don't appear to be working as they should be! It does get pretty busy between 5-6pm but the service is quick and the staff are always chatty.

Review of Sundeckers Luxury Tanning Studio
30 May 08, 12:55
Good staff.
The girls here are lovely, they always make an effort - remembering your name etc and happy to chat. They only have the lay down beds here but they're pretty powerful. They also do manicure etc here. There's a nice waiting area with mags and a tv, which is good if you have to wait for a bed. Not that you have to, as it never gets too busy.

Review of Bournemouth International Centre
30 May 08, 12:51
A Good Choice
As venues go, this is a pretty good one. I've been to gigs and comedy nights here and have really enjoyed both. They get some great acts here and it's large enough to always get a good 'spot' The bar is a little tricky to get served at but in general, they cope pretty well. I'd recommend anyone to go here - it's good.

Review of Langney Library
30 May 08, 12:46
A good choice
Despite being a small library, there's a good selection of books here. There's also a few computers set up so you have internet access (although not very personal if what you're doing is private!) The only thing wrong with the library is the opening times - I'm never sure when they're open!

Review of Asda Stores
30 May 08, 12:42
Grim!
Avoid this place if possible! Despite being a large branch, this particular Asda is always rammed! It always seems to be 'messy' too - the clothing section is always like a jumble and most of the shelves are badly stocked. The prices are reasonable here but in all honesty, it's not worth going through the stress of trying to shop here just to save a few pennies

Review of Waitrose
30 May 08, 12:38
Small but good choice
Right in the centre of Winton this branch is great to pick up on some high quality grub. I used to always shop here as you can take advantage of their 2 story car park. You can use it for free and stay there as long as you like, so it's good if you fancy a meander round the shops in Winton too (not that there's much on offer!) There's a small bakery section and quite a large choice of wines.
