Review of Blockbuster Video
19 Apr 08, 19:26
All you need 
I've been using these guys for a long time and Blockbusters is a simple enough idea. The people who run this store do it brilliantly. Sometimes you can be queuing for a while, but it's worth it because they've probably got the film or game you want. Reasonable prices to hire.

Review of Argos
19 Apr 08, 19:25
Huge range 
This is the best Argos in the area, it's the one near Staples and Toys R Us, it's got a huge range and quick service. You don't need much from Argos - just let me pay for the stuff and then let me take it from the shop - and these guys do that pretty well.

Review of John Nike Leisuresport

Sports arena with skiing
My son went to a birthday party here, so this is his report. Plenty of space to park here, good help from the assistants, nice cafe inside, ice skating was good fun.

Review of The Golden Retriever Pub
19 Apr 08, 15:53
Great value
I saw this place reviewed in the Wokingham Times and it got a good write-up, we tried it one Sunday lunchtime and the service was excellent, the food arrived quickly and there was a huge range on the menu. The kids thought there wasn't enough child-friendly stuff on offer, but for adults it's certainly a good bet.

Review of Comet
19 Apr 08, 14:06
Fine as far as it goes 
There's a better Comet out on the Brunel Retail Park off the A33 (near the football stadium) but this city centre one is OK too. The service is just about good enough and they have a reasonable range of stuff. They've stopped doing that thing where they try to bully you into taking out an extended warranty (I walked out of one branch of Comets once because of that) so that's an improvement.

Review of Currys
19 Apr 08, 14:04
Not so good 
I could never work out why the Dixons people got rid of the Dixons name and converted them all over to Currys, because I always thought Currys were a bit shabby. This is an example of one that's been around for ages - it feels too big (i.e. it's not that well laid out) and the prices don't seem to be that competitive. If I was shopping for electrical goods round here, I'd go to Comet.

Review of Dreams
19 Apr 08, 14:03
Great value
I needed to get a bunk bed for the children in a hurry after the previous one broke, and the people in this branch of Dreams really bent over backwards to help. They managed to track down the bed I wanted, and although I had to pay extra for immediate delivery, it was worth it. Their prices and range are excellent.

Review of Toys 'R' Us
19 Apr 08, 14:01
Good but feels a bit out of date
Everything on this particular shopping park feels a bit down-at-heel, it must have been very up to date when it was opened but now it feels as if it needs a good makeover. Despite this, this branch of Toys R Us is fine, with the normal great range of goods, making up for the fact that there are rarely any staff around when you need them.

Review of Woolworths

Good range in this branch
Woolworths is a pretty good general store, by and large, and this branch in Wokingham is particularly good, with a great selection of homeware stuff in particular.

Review of Dominos Pizza
19 Apr 08, 13:58
Great fast food
I know Dominos isn't everyone's cup of tea but I think this branch of the pizza place is really good. The service was helpful, we ordered by phone, went round to pick up at the time we were given, and it was all there, ready for us to collect. And the quality of the pizzas was excellent.
