Review of Marina Centre
23 May 08, 11:14
Needs a lick of paint 
Looking a bit dated and jaded at the moment, the centre could really do with a spruce up ! A good complex in itself but really does need updating. Parking sometimes a problem too. Good food served there though.

Review of Homebase

Basics as Homebase
It's still quite a new arrival to the area and is situated right next door to another DIY store. Not the most helpful of staff here, badly designed layout and seems to be more expensive than it's neighbour

Review of Brantano Footwear

Shoe shopping budget style
What can I say about this store ? Everything is here in one place and you get some great bargains but shopping is hardly a pleasure here. It's like a big DIY store where everything is slung out on the shelves, it's pretty hit and miss if they have your size and often tough to find help anywhere!

Review of Comet Group

What does this do then ?
Not greatly impressed with the service here. The store has all the products but unfortunatly the staff don't seem to be trained as to what the products they sell actually do!

Review of Gibraltar Gardens
09 May 08, 12:43
Nice garden
Went for a meal and a visit to this place for the first time last night. Had a nice beer in the gardens looking onto the river then sampled the food, very good prices and a nice setting but mine along with my guests salad was full of sand and didn't seem to be washed. Informed the waitress who apologised but didn't seem very bothered, then had to wait ages for the bill ! Not the best first impression to be honest. Have heard good things about the place so will give it a second go some time

Review of Costcutter

Blink & you will miss it
This store is tucked away on a housing estate. Very handy for the odd pint of milk of paper. Not the cleanest of stores on my visit and not the cheapest either!

Review of Hardimans Estate Agents

Sale fell Flat
Having used them before I didn't have the best of experiences. They seem eager to market your property but don't really chase up viewers for feedback on house visits and they also close on Sundays and Sat afternoons, the peak times when people want to visit houses !

Review of Wimpy
01 May 08, 10:17
Childhood memories
I can remember when the Wimpy Bar was the only burger shop around ! Big ketchup bottles in the shape of tomatoes and big sugar shakers. You still get a good burger on a plate with proper cutlery but the concept as well as the place is getting a bit dated. Nice place for a bite though, right in the middle of the shopping centre.

Review of Old Red House

Very Local!
Nice pub with a good selection of beers and wines but very small and very local, looks like the regulars have been going there for years ! Great roast potatoes on the bar on Sunday lunchtimes!

Review of Seeta Restaurant

What name this week
This curry house has been here for years but always seems to change it's name on a regular basis. Food is always average and nothing to write home about, strange as it seems if you have a take away from here it's nicer !

Review of Old Orleans
22 Apr 08, 11:46
Take a good book with you..
I have eaten at Old Orleans across the UK before and love the menu and choice of food. Have to say have been here 3 times and had the same problem, the service time. Waited one Wednesday evening with a party of friends for an hour for our starter then a further half hour after for our main. The food is good when it comes but if your in a hurry, be warned.

Review of McDonald's Restaurants

Why the wait ?
Food from here is fine....when you get it ! Seems every time I go here there is a wait for the food even if there are not many people waiting to be served.
