Review of One Stop Convenience Store
16 May 08, 07:20
The One-stop shop 
This store is a great convenience shop. It sells any essential you may un-expectedly run out of. It's a favourite for commuters too as it's right next to shoreham station. The only problem is they do the bill pay thingy which takes a while and when your waiting to get your paper and there's someone in front of you paying with 2 mins til your train arrives....!

Review of Famished Caterers
12 May 08, 17:03
Excellent Sarnies 
This cafe has been a favourite of mine for 6 years now. It has since changed managment but the new owners have kept the reputation of this little gem. Best for take-away as there's not much seating, but the choice of food is brilliant! The fillings are always plentiful and they even do ice cream! During the hours of 1 and 2 though it gets busy as the people who work in the area get there sarnies, jacket potatos and bacon butties.

Review of Green Jacket

Great for lunch
This pub is a favourite for lunch breaks to people working in the surrounding area. The reason being it's reasonably priced with lots of variety on the menu. The service is also very prompt and i have recently discovered a lovely beer garden at the back of the pub! In the evening this pub turns into quite a locals joint but if your looking for some good pub grub at lunchtime, it's perfect!

Ok
When this bar first opened it was the place to be and be seen. Since the opening hype bussiness has eased off and it's lost some of it's stuck up attitude. A nice classy little bar now to enjoy a bevie and a bowl of olives. Although the house rose leaves you taste buds a little stripped!

Review of Red Lion Inn

A must during adur beer festival
The red lion is a family favourite for food and drink. It's average priceing but one major thing going for this pub is that it's the focus of the adur beer festival! It's brilliant! The pub has a small intimate beer garden which makes a perfect venue for a relaxing drink.

Review of QS
12 May 08, 06:52
Fabulous
I've never thought of QS as a clothing store that would sell anything that i would wear, but after wandering in to the store i found that there are quite a few lines that i loved and purchased! The staff in this store were very friendly and helpful, looking in the warehouse for my size when it wasnt on the shop floor, and offering to phone another store to see if they had what i required. For vest tops and summery dresses this store is excellent value!

Review of Jasmine

Great
The chicken with ginger and spring onions comes highly recommended from this take-away! In a great location. U can usually park outside if you decide to collect your dinner rather than have it delivered! The ONLY grumble i have is that u have to spend over £20 to get free prawn crackers. and in most places, it's £10 pound.

Review of Swiss Cottage
11 May 08, 22:35
Dissapointing 
I Have always loved going to the swiss cottage for a drink in the summer, Next to the beautiful lake with the ducks and, as mentioned before, boats. BUT, I went to the swiss recently for a meal and was shocked at the dirty water in the lake for a start. Then we ordered our food from a really varied menu and when it arrived it was slung onto the table in front of us by a moody waitress who on several occasions scratched her food in between bringing food out from the Kitchen. Anyone for a bit of athletes foot with your meal. Our plates weren't taken for ages and the food was really average. My advice would be, Reduce the amount on the menu and get the dishes right. And close it down for refurb, which the ladies toilets are really in need of.

Review of Marks & Spencer

Love it
I love this M&S. It's got everything there u would need including a Bureau de change!!!! Which seems to have competetive rates. There is a hand car wash in the car park which is excellent for a fiver! Cant go wrong! The staff are friendly and helpful. One thing i will say is, it's quite hard to find the pay points in this store.

Review of Tesco Stores
02 May 08, 10:32
My Local
Tesco holmbush is my local supermarket and i suppose it is as you would expect. Although i have been shopping a couple of times on a Friday night and the stock is very low. I wanted a specific type of mince beef and there was none. And a pack of mixed peppers of which there was also none. One other thing that is slightly annoying, they do a taste test thing where you try 2 products the same and give your comments on both. I get asked to do it every time which is good when im hungry but not when im in a rush!

Review of Waterside Inn
02 May 08, 10:25
Great Locals pub
This used to be my local about a year ago. Somewhere i could go into on my own and be sure to see someone i know. Excellent! BUT.... I have been there since and it's just not the same if they dont know your face! There were a lot of new staff and new punters, i no longer knew anyone and it was obvious they didnt know me. I do think it's a shame when you walk in and everyone looks at you...'who are you?who do you know? and what are you doing here?' There are much better options in shoreham, all of them the other side of the footbridge.

Review of Tanfastique

As ud expect
A great little clean sunbed shop that is not badly priced either! They even look after your cream for you! Your provided with a complementary towel and hairband which is more handy than you think when you've not got your hair up!

Review of Bridge Inn

Lovely drink by the river
The food is not bad in this venue, Great for a working lunch of lunch with friends. Not a trendy atmosphere but still friendly and not too busy. When it comes to a summers afternoon/ evening.... PERFECT! Sitting by the river on a Sunday afternoon in the sun? What could be better?

Review of Crown & Anchor
29 Apr 08, 11:03
Great for a night with friends
I went to the crown and anchor on Friday night. It's lovely since it's refurb and was very busy... a Little too busy for my likeing but still a great venue. I have eaten here before and i didnt rate the food much, but thats not really what i look to a venue like this for. It's a great starting place for a pub tour as it's in the middle of eveything. Just one negative is the House Rose wine... It's a bit like vinegar! Stick to the Chardonnay or a good old Voddie and diet coke.

Review of La Galleria

There's better
If your looking to have a quiet evening out in a restaurant that smells like a men's loo, you've gone to the right place! I've been there twice no and both times the food was good but i could not get over the smell! With Nia and Prezzo opening just round the corner, this one needs to pull it's socks up!

Carvery
I started to go off the toby carvery's when they became sludgy and over cooked. When we were at a loose end one Sunday, we decided to try again... It was LOVELY! And good value for money! My partner also informs me that it's a good "after work Friday drink" venue. This i would not know!

Review of Tasty Shoreham Fisheries
12 Apr 08, 00:12
Very Tasty 
A great Chinese and chippy.Never had a bad meal from there and they deliver. The delivery guys are really kind and polite too, which always earns a tip from me! One slight grumble is the chicken balls are a little greasy! The Pancake rolls certainly make up for it.

Review of Prezzo

Prezzo
After discovering this restaurant while on a work's do, shortly after it opened, i found it had good food, reasonably good value and great service! After returning from my Umpteenth evening out at this venue, i feel i have to recommend it.The mushrooms al forno are to die for, and they do the best Chicken ceaser salad I've ever tasted! In fact, I've never had a bad meal there!
