Review of Tesco Stores
30 May 08, 12:52
Ok for a quick shop 
This branch of Tesco's is not the best - the selection isn't the greatest and there are always queues. However, it is ok if you are on your way home after getting off the A23 and you need a pint of milk. Save your big shop for another branch.

Review of Dragons Health Club
29 May 08, 13:26
Bit shabby
This branch of LA Fitness needs updating badly. The whole building is quite old and shabby and the machines are always breaking and out of order. There are also not enough machines. You often have to wait for a machine. The changing rooms are pretty dirty at times and the pool is tiny! The parking is also a nightmare - not enough space! The saving grace is that the staff are really friendly and the classes are great!

Review of Indian Summer

More expensive than Hove
I went here when in town one day and was slightly disappointed. I am a big fan of the Hove branch so to find that the Brighton restaurant was more expensive was annoying, purely because of its location. The food was not as nice Hove and the restaurant less intimate. I will only be going to Hove from now on.

Review of The Mango Tree

Too expensive
I love thai food so was very excited to go here. However, I was slightly disappointed. The decor was very slick and it was all very modern inside. But the food was overpriced for what you got. Plus the wine was very expensive. Wouldn't go back.

Review of Zizzi

Disappointed...
I usually am a big fan of Zizzi's but came here for a pre-christmas girlie catch up and we were very disappointed. It took ages for the waiters to serve us and then the food even longer to arrive. We could see our cheesy garlic bread on the counter getting cold but no one was bringing it over. There were no apologies either. Wouldn't go back to this branch.

Review of Caffe Nero

Coffee coffee coffee!
I like a nice skinny latte and they do serve good ones here. The staff are friendly and the service is pretty swift. BUT, the seating area is always a bit messy and dirty and the loos are gross! Only go here for a takeaway coffee!

Review of Pizza Express Restaurants
08 May 08, 14:00
Not the best
Normally you can't fault Pizza Express. However, I think I had the worst pizza of my life in this branch. I went for my favourite, 4 cheeses, and it was awful. The base was so doughy it was soggy. We also had to wait about an hour for it. It definitely was not worth the wait. The staff were really inattentive and ignored us when trying to get their attention. Won't go back.

Review of Sun Wah

Too busy
This takeaway always surprises me as it is always really busy. I was recommended to use this one when I first moved down about 7yrs and was sorely disappointed. I found the food very greasy which I don't like.
The owner on the other hand is very friendly but, still not enough for me to get my takeaways from here.

Review of Sole Trader

Shocking staff!
My boyfriend normally loves this shop for its shoes but on our last visit, we were disappointed. The staff were unhelpful, offish and rude. You want to make sure a pair of shoes fits properly before buying them but on asking for a different size, the girl was annoyed that we had asked such a thing! She also tried to sell us a pair of trainers with one trainer all dirty. Not good service at all.

Review of The Hampton
05 May 08, 18:13
Bit smelly...
We went here on a sunny day purely because it had an outdoor area. Otherwise, the pub is a bit musty and smelly. The loos were not nice, with water on the floors and no handwash or soap. The only two good things about this pub were the seats outside and the bloody marys...the were tasty!

Review of Havana Restaurant & Bar
30 Apr 08, 13:43
Too expensive for what it is
I have only been here once but vowed never to go again as didn't enjoy it one bit. The food and drink were overpriced as portions were tiny and not that great. The bar area is nice and modern but the restaurant area didn't feel that special. The location is good though and the bloody mary I had was yummy.

Review of Top Shop Retail
29 Apr 08, 17:19
Not a good branch...
This branch of Top Shop is pretty poor - there is one floor for ladies and one floor for men and both are quite small with not much choice. The changing rooms are always quite dirty and the staff don't seem to be interested at all. Not a good one to go to!

Review of Hennes
24 Apr 08, 13:08
Not a good H&M
I have always been a fan of Hennes as it is cheap and cheerful and usually has a good choice of clothes. However, this branch is rubbish - too small, too cramped...much prefer the big branch on Oxford Circus!

Review of Odeon Cinema
23 Apr 08, 13:16
Old and bit dirty
Although this cinema shows great films and is in a good location, the building itself is old and needs a revamp. The floors are always sticky with fizzy drinks and the loos are dirty. The food and drink is expensive too - the popcorn isn't even that nice!
