Review of Salcombe Boat Hire

10 Nov 07, 14:01

super fresh fish! 5*

Their fish comes in fresh daily from local day boats, operating off the coast from Plymouth to Brixham. Included in their fine array of local fresh fish are: local Sea Bass, Mackerel, Pollack, Ling, Cod, Tuna, Swordfish, Monkfish, Lemon Sole, Plaice, Turbot, Brill, Dover Sole, Salmon & much more. Oysters, Mussels and shellfish, Squid and most things fishy! Their Scallops are also really good! They also do special lobster and crab boxes. Plus you know that their lobster is going to be as fresh as you can get as it is kept live in their keep in the estuary until it is cooked. Not only do they sell seafood, but they have a wide range of fishing rods and reels, with an extensive selection of tackle, lures, feathers etc for boat and shore fishing. Children's crab lines, buckets and spades, fishing nets, beach balls, body boards, skimboards, windbreaks, sun tan cream, hats, beach goods, portable barbeques, firelighters and lump charcoal are all available. This is a great fishmongers and its really nice to see that places like this still exist. This is loving local at its best

Review of Century Chinese Restaurant

07 Nov 07, 22:29

The best chinese I've ever had... 5*

This is a great Chinese restaurant, it may not look like anything special on the outside but don't be fooled. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The decor may be a bit dated and traditionally chinese but once you taste the food this can easily be forgiven. My reccomendation is to go for the all you can eat which as far as I can remember is about £13. This is a really reasonable price. Here you get to choose as much as you want, be it lots of starters and then some mains. Basically its up to you. The food is so tasty, I particulary like the mixed houre d'ouveres. They also do a takeaway service. I seriously suggest you give this restaurant a try. Its the best

Review of Cafe Des Amis Du Mexique

03 Nov 07, 22:09

The best mexican... 5*

This is one of my favourite restaurants, it serves authentic and super tasty mexican food. The nachos are the best I have ever had. I can reccommend the Pollo Verde and the fajhitas to share (well actually I would reccomend any of it to you). As you can tell the food is all really impressive. They also serve yummy pina coladas. The atmosphere is really great. There is mexican music playing and the decor is rustic, bright and inviting. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is reasonably priced. This is a "must" place to visit!

Review of Typeydong

17 Oct 07, 22:48

so yummy... 5*

This place is so much better than the branch of Wagamama in Exeter. This is the real deal! The food is really good and theres lots to choose from the menu. The place itself is modern and clean and very friendly with good service. They also do a really good lunchtime deal of a meal and a drink for, I think, something like £7. I definetly know its a bargain. You must go here, as me and my friends often worry that it is now losing out due to the opening of Wagamama. Which, if so, would be a real shame as its far superior and most importanly in the spirit of welovelocal - its INDEPENDANT!

Review of Cath Kidston

12 Oct 07, 23:38

Floral Fantasy 5*

If you like all that is shabby chic then you may well think you have walked into shabby chic heaven when you enter the Cath Kidston store. It is so beautiful that you instanly wish that you had a house that needed decorating and a purse full of money. There is so much to choose from, be it that you're looking for a piece of fabric to cover an old chair to a shower cap. There is a very friendly atmosphere in store and you always leave feeling inspired and probably a little bit poorer.
