Pants 
Selling some nice ladies underwear, this place is next to the slightly sexier Ann Summers, my girlfriend loves the night wear, and is always happy to find they have some nice bra's for bigger busted women.

Dress Up?
The home of some nice drss up costumes for her, and some great toys to keep the mood going all night long.
The staff are very professional, but don't do demonstartions, I've asked!
Decent choice and they don't have it in store thaye'll have what you want online.

Just A Pound
As Ms katona says its just a pound, loads of cut price bargains, a shop that makes you wish you had a huge freezer, loads of bbq bargains worth checking out, and if you've got a party, some great food ideas instore.

Review of Sainsbury's
12 May 08, 12:50
Free parking
One of the only shops in town to offer free parking right outside its premises which is good, but with loads of people fighting for spaces you can wait ages to find one. Seems to have a good selection, but also a bit pricier than Asda, Morrisons and Tesco.

Review of Waitrose
12 May 08, 12:32
Expensive
I don't see the attraction overly to Waitrose, they sell own made products at high prices. Yes its nice, but I'd prefer to buy McVities jaffa cakes at 40p cheaper for example.
You can never park out the front either. It just seems an expensive hassle to me.
The food is quality though.

Paris witout the price
Like french food, so undercooked red meat? I do, this is the place to go. Great menu, nice decor and reasonable prices make it one of my favourite places to eat in Milton Keynes.

No Mayo 
How many times do you have to say no mayo before they listen?
I've had to take my chicken royal nback so many times cos they don't listen in town, maybe its because there busy or they just think I won't notice.

Toys For Boys........ And Men 
This palce is the best, if you're like me obsessed by gadgets and everything a little differetn this is the palce to go.
I often get my mates gifts from here for birthdays/christmas as there is such a huge choice.
Everythings a little different and its worth a lookw ehn you're next in the centre.

Review of Jurys Inn
09 May 08, 12:47
Nice Function Venue
This place looks really swanky outside, and when you step in you're not disappointed, really modern, with loads of rooms, all comfortable with TV's.
There are also a number of function rooms, which are ideal for parties, or charity events, a large menu is also offered if you're looking for something to eat.
Not too pricey either.

Review of Chiquito Restaurant Bar
09 May 08, 12:28
Quiet
This place is not quite in the town centre which is a shame, as it would be packed if so.
The food and servce is really good, the quesadillas are lovely and that fajita mix is hot hot hot, and I love it!

Review of McDonald's Restaurant
09 May 08, 12:03
Full of chavs 
For some reason this MCD's is always rammed with chavs, they constantly poke fun at old people and the disadvantages.
The foods typical McD's, fairly efficient but often luke warm, not hot.

Review of Wagamama Restaurant
09 May 08, 12:01
Open
The food is nice, I just really dislike teh layout in here.
The have like bench's that they put strangers on with you, so you can't eat in privacy, or have a chat without people butting in.
If they had intimate tables it would be a five from me.

Review of Marks & Spencer
22 Apr 08, 13:36
Nice but expensive
Great food, love the supermarket but it costs far too much, I mean charging £2.69 for 5 cookies, its a bit steep don't you think?
When you can eventually afford to buy stuff from their you realise how good it is.
Problem is unless your Richard Branson you can't shop their to much.

Review of Pret A Manger
22 Apr 08, 13:07
Rip Off
I'm not denying you get what you pay for, but some of there sarnies cost nearly a fiver, for that you can sit down and have something a bit more filling, I like the food but hate the price, make it a bit cheaper and the palce would be heaving.

Noodle Heaven
I first read the menu and was a bit disturbedby what I read thinking there's be nothing I'd eat, it turned out I was so wrong, chilli noodles, fish noodles, duck and chicken, they do everything, and if you look about frightened by the menu, there's no need, trust me I felt like you too before I tried it!

The Reason I'm Fat!
I blame these guys fior my rounded stomach, however that said the cookies they make have got to be some of the best around, triple chocolate, or fruit, nut and choca=olate are the best.
I hate walking past it when I'm on a diet!

Review of Yates's Wine Lodge

Good Music
Great place to kick off the night up in the theatre district with relatively cheap drinks and some great music to get you in the mood for a good night out.
They need to sell Grolsch on tap!

Great Clothes
I love this shop, probably my favourite clothing place in town. Whatever the season they have suchj a great choice of clothes. Bougt a wicked shirt and pair of jeans out of their last week, a little pricey but not too bad.

Good Rates Of Interest
Just been looking to open an ISA and as far as I could find Abbey offered the best rate of interest so if you're looking for some tax free savings go for it!

Review of Pizza Express Restaurants
22 Apr 08, 09:53
Great Pizza, Shoddy Service
The sloppy guisepe pizza I tried there is probably the best i've ever eaten but it took so long to get to me.
There were only about 10 of us in the restaurant but my pizza took nearly 30 minutes.
If you have time, its well worth the wait, and wash it down it with a peroni, love that beer!

Review of Dragon Boat Restaurant
22 Apr 08, 09:50
Pretty Good
I tell you what the food here is superb, the problem I found wasthat the service was a bit lackluster, they forget to order my meal, and therefore my girlfriend had to eat hers to stop it going cold, whilst I waited, the curtious thing would have been to cooke dboth again but they didn't.......

Review of Cineworld
21 Apr 08, 15:17
Busy, but that makes it good!
Unlike the odeon this cinema is the business, always busy, but not overcrowded, with helpful staff, and a well stocked snack bar!
The nachos are awesome, and I always have a fanta frozen that gives me brain freeze which is funny!
Comfy seats, an ice cream parlour and a bar you can't beat it!

Review of Your Move
21 Apr 08, 11:56
Very helpful, but not pushy
When I moved to MK a few motnhs back I found the guys really bvhelpful, they told me where to avaoid, and always seemed honest and open where a few others tried to be a bit pushy.
They'd let me view at any time was convenient for me, and they weren't constantly on the phone banging on for an answer, the let me make my decisions in my time.
If you're looking to move give em a try!

Review of HaHa Bar and Grill
21 Apr 08, 11:42
Great Food
Went there a while ago with the other half, the food for me was great but the other other half she wasn't to impressed, she's an 'almost veggie' who only eats chicken as a meat, nothing else.
Basically, she's a fussy eater! And she couldn't find anythign she liked on the menu, when she finally picked something it was quite salty, but my huge burger was the best.
friendly staff who are always willing to help!

Review of Odeon Cinema
21 Apr 08, 11:07
Awful
I never thought a cinema could be bad, but this was something else, no staff willing to help, no one behind the snack bar, and over priced are just a few of the things I can mention.
The floor is sticky and their were kids who wouldn't shut up in the back row, I told a member of staff who just laughed.
Walk that bit further to Cineworld is my advice.

Review of Centre MK
21 Apr 08, 10:50
No Need To Go Elsewhere
When I first moved to Milton Keynes, I went 'round' CMK so many times you wouldn't believe, once you get used to the bizarre lay out (2 huge lines on one floor) you will find everything you need.
As well as all the shops you need in one centre it has so many great places to eat, and its own market, you seriously need not go elsewhere!
Bring the kids they'll sleep well after cos its a lot of walking!!

Review of Giraffe
14 Apr 08, 12:18
Great Food
As someone who eats out regualrly I get tired by eating the same thing everytime I go to a restaurant, after visiting giraffe I realised that I'd never have to do that again.
Yes, they do traditional meals, and just plain burgers, but they have thier own sauces and marinades that always make things taste a little different and thats why its my favourite place to eat in cmk!
