Review of Ember
05 Jul 07, 20:42
Slow service 
This place is quite small but it looks nice. I went in today for lunch with a business associate and I was impressed up to the point where it took 45 minutes to receive the food we'd ordered. This was whilst other people around us arrived, got their food and left. I wasn't impressed.
Shame. Could've been good.

Review of Subway

No bread
I went to this Subway today at about 2.15pm and they had run out of all but wheat and Italian herb and cheese. Very disappointing particularly at lunch time!

Review of Match Bar
18 May 07, 19:52
A good bar 
I've been here for a lot of drinks after work and it's a nice place to go. The atmosphere is relaxed and it's a good place to go for a drink. The food is also good if you want to eat, but it is quite expensive. Everything I have had has been paid for by the company but looking at the prices they are quite high. Aside from that, it can get noisy when its busy making it difficult to hear people sometimes.

Review of Eat

Nice pie...high prices
On recommendation from Rik I went with him to Eat one lunch time to have their chicken pot pie, and I admit, it was nice. It turned out to be high quality home made style with a real pie (pastry) inside. What I wasn't too happy with was paying for a relatively small amount of soup at the prices they were charging...and having to pay extra for bread.
The food is nice but I shan't be going back again. I don't want to spend that much on just lunch food.

Review of Tinseltown

If you want milkshakes... 
...then this is a good place to go. You can get a wide variety of different shakes and they are very nice. But don't get food. I've been twice, the first time the food was alright, but not great - just a basic burger. The second time I was with some other friends and we just had milkshakes - that worked out fine and we all enjoyed them. Maybe a little pricey, but the novelty value doesn't wear off before you leave.
So yes, fine for milkshakes, not so good for anything else.

Review of PizzaExpress
14 May 07, 13:12
Fancy pizza
Pizza Express is much like Pizza Hut, except it's fancier and more expensive. You can usually see them making your pizza and this outlet is no different. That is a nice touch and they tend to bring the food very quickly. I went in after work with a few colleagues about 6.30pm or so, and it wasn't busy. The pizzas are always nice and it's a good place to get a good pizza...if you don't mind paying that bit extra.

Good service
Contrary to what Rik said, the service here is great. When it's busy the boss guy gets very animated and serves people way back in the line, queuing up sandwiches creating a bottleneck at the salad zone, but when it's less busy they are very friendly and know who I am! Then I do visit every day...

Review of Post Office

Extremes
One morning I went into this Post Office and it was totally packed, so I went back another time and it was empty! Pick your moment. Otherwise, it's just a standard Post Office for all your postal needs.

Review of Barclays Bank PLC
01 May 07, 14:40
Would not confirm my identity 
Having a business account with Barclays, I needed them to confirm my identity for a form to send off. After waiting 10 minutes in the queue then 20 minutes to see a personal banker (yes, personal...for a business account), I was looked at very suspiciously (as if I couldn't be running my own business being 19 and wearing a hoodie/jeans) and then told I'd have to go into my account holding branch. Waste of time. Barclays are normally good.
