Review of Tate Britain

Get lost 
Get lost in here for a few hours and leave with your head spinning in awe, not just at the exhibits and paintings on display but the building itself. I prefer to pay and go to the exhibitions as i find the usual displays a little overwhelming. The Turner prize retrospective was awesome but i felt disappointed by the Photographing Britain exhibition. Generally though everything is mind blowing and no where else in the world can compare.

How long can it take to get change out of the till? 
A little bit smelly and very slow at serving you. How long can it take to get change out of the till? Apparently a long time. You don't get many slices of ham for your money either! Lots of choices available at another chain shop nearby.

Review of The Morpeth Arms

Just a pub 
This place has had a refurb and does look better for it. It can still get cramped midweek evenings but attracts a different crowd at the weekend. In the past i've found it far too easy to set up camp on a Sunday afternoon and end up leaving a little worse for wear!

Review of Millbank Lounge

Classy Cocktails 
This place is a trendy, edgy and cool cocktail bar tucked away from the main throng. The waiting staff are good, and the bar men seem to know their thing. The food is a little eclectic for a lounge. There's some good sharing platters, mezze, sandwiches and salads but the place doesn't have the right kind of atmosphere to eat some of their larger main meals. There's a good selection of cocktails on the menu but i'd like to see more classics, like a Tom Collins or a Harvey Wallbanger. The decor is red and moody with soft sofas for sinking in. The thing about this bar is the people. There's a load of frumpy civil servants in here which just don;t match the glamour of the bar. If that doesn't bother you - then enjoy!

Review of Goya Pimlico

Tapas for locals!
This is a great neighborhood haunt. I go with my boyfriend when we are starving, can;t be bothered to cook and feel like we haven't seen each other in a while. It's a great place to catch up and eat. I've taken friends as well and they are converted! it's also fairly quick if you're after a bite before heading out. There's fairly standard stuff on the menu for a tapas bar and some lovely specials, as well as a good selection of wine. If you frequent the place often enough (and i do) you start to see a few locals and regulars. I can't fault it really.

Review of Tailors

Sew No! 
I took in 3 pairs of trousers to be taken up, as i'm vertically challenged.
One pair came back with a wobbly hem on one leg. I was planning on wearing the trousers to a particular event, but as the hem wasn't straight on the outside of the leg i was unable to wear them as it was so obvious!
I'm not sure another pair were even touched at all - they were still far too long.
By then my trust with their skills had gone and i just took my trousers and left and unhappy customer!

Good on Fridays
Been here lots after a few post work drinks and the staff are very accommodating. Lamb shank always looks delicious but i always bottle and go for a balti! Lots of extras come with like naan bread, rice, daal and so on. Cold beer and curry - what else can you ask for?

Review of City Cafe

Great for Sunday Lunch
Great for Sunday lunch. You can spend hours there eating at your own leisure. There;s a buffet salad bar with more than just salads. The black pudding, lyonnaise potatoes and bacon starter is fab! Then there's a carvery. I wish there was more gravy and the potatoes could be better roasted but who cares when you have so much to choose from for dessert! Puddings, pastries, jelly, cake, ice cream. What a choice, Great for kids and great value for money.

Review of Seafresh Fish Restaurant

Overpriced
Certainly not the best fish or chips i've had, and overpriced for what you get. Should decide if they want to be used for quick eats or dining experiences.

Review of Cyprus Mangal

Delicious
This place is amazing whether you want to have a quick takeaway or eat in. Rumour was they were extending the downstairs as they were constantly having to turn away business! The shish kebabs are delicious and the staff very friendly.
