Review of Turkish Delight

05 May 08, 18:18

LIGHTS, ACTION, PIZZA!

As drunken conversations go, there is nothing normally more interesting than have a good old chin wag with the man in the kebab shop). He's your instant best mate as soon as you step in the door. You may have never seen him in your life, but he'll always get a handshake and return it with a bewildered smile!

I’ve been performing this ancient ritual at Turkish Delight for over 8 years. The man in the Kebab shop, Tariq.

By day, he is an "extra" in the TV and film industry! From little Britain to Charlie and the chocolate factory. Tariq (without garlic mayo) is always in the background.

By night he serves the finest food known to man (on the A41)...Kebabs, Chips, Pizza, Burgers, the lot!!

He may not win an Oscar for his acting, but his food deserves an award....

Review of Rothwells

Rnb + vodka = Rothwells

Went in a few weeks back, £3-4 on a saturday. Rnb music,mainly. Plenty of variations on the bar to keep the most thirst happy, until they get bored of the music.....

Review of Oceana

03 May 08, 20:55

where am I?

normally the question at the END of a good night. Howeve you may ask this at the begining. The SS Oceana will take you away to a variety of different locations. All without leaving sunny sunny wolverhampton. Different rooms mean different decore, music, bars and people. Its like an indoor pub crawl, with 2 main dance rooms and some swish, yeah i said swish bars in between

swish

Review of Yates's Wine Lodge

19 Apr 08, 09:45

prices may vary!

Very popular in wolves , food and drink deals on constantly....

however as its close to the civic, all the drink offers seem to dissappear when there is a band playing, and the prices go back to normal!

how pants!

Review of Novotel

18 Apr 08, 18:39

not the best

Looks modern and clean from the outside, however not very clean on the inside.

Review of The Fox Hotel

18 Apr 08, 18:35

peaked in the 70's

Looks dredful from the outside, with its fading signage and net curtains.

Inside is also very dated.

close to centre of town, function room available for free i think.

Keep looking!

Review of The Britannia Hotel

18 Apr 08, 18:32

It'll do!

Cheap deals booked in advance online.

Some rooms look a bit tatty, but its really close to the bus and train station. Ideal for commuters, not too far from the nightlife either

Review of Don Salvo

swish!

Atmosphere very good, funky inside, and cocktail bar upstairs Food We had allsorts, even snails, never had them before but it was something different! Drink

Great cock tails up stairs, Cuba libre tasted a bit odd, but theres plenty to choose from! Location On the way up to town, so maybe make a night of it?

Overall Nice food, varied drinks ( which were a little over priced) all in all id say i would go again!

Review of Subway

sub sub

Even in peak times the service is quick enough for me. The guage/standard is to be out with my sandwich in under 10 minutes.

Normally achieved at this location....unless you do something stupid, like add cucumber.........TISK

Atmosphere In the daytime, its depressing, all day drinkers on their 10th pint before lunch... On a Weekend its slightly better, for a quick stop off drink on the journey around town. Food Never eaten here, dont think I'd want to!

Drink Weatherspoony selection of drinks, good cheap starter pub to get you on the roll with your weekly binge!

Location On the way in to town,which is handy! Overall in, drink, out, no more.

Review of Bilash

16 Apr 08, 12:10

expensive!

Atmosphere As you'd expect, undergone a few changes and has a good layout.

Food Was very nice however it was expensive! 3 of us went and it cost over £100! Drink Usual selection of wine and beers! Location Near to the civic, just around the corner from relex and yates wine bar

Overall great for a special occasion, not a curry house to go to if your on the beers, if you know what I mean

Review of Mamma Lizzy's Restaurant

14 Apr 08, 20:20

Try it!

Mexican right on the tettenhall road!

Atmosphere It was quite quiet when I went, which is a shame. Its slightly unconventional dining room, but all ads to the character, I think its underground which makes you feel like your on holiday as you cant actually see the tettenhall rd. Food Was love great,plenty to choose from All tastes authentic! Great lunch time specials advertised. Drink Full range of drinks, corona served with lime is your best bet!

Location Halfway up/ down the tettenhall road,quite near the shell garage

Overall A great place for something different, wish it was busier!

Review of Barclays Bank

14 Apr 08, 18:00

Dont go in at lunch time

Everything you'd expect from a city barclays bank. Foreighn exchange, personal bankers, mortgages advisors. Plenty of counters.

BUT

you wont see any of that come lunch time as the world decends on that bank in the strike of 12 noon.

ques out the door which never seem to go down!

Time it right and your in the money....

Review of Game

14 Apr 08, 17:21

Bigger bettter!

There are 2 GAME shops in Wolves.....Both on the same street!

This one, is the bigger of the two, right next to Mcdonalds, so its alway gunna be popular with the kids!

This store has the full range of games for modern colsoles and up to date Pcs.

As its the bigger store, this is the one that will open at midnight for big releases and launches!

The staff have always been very helpful and accomodating!

Got an old game? two of the same after xmas? Trade in" feature in store!

Review of Game

14 Apr 08, 17:16

1 of 2, this one smaller

Computer game shop, offering games and acsessories for modern colsoles. Pc games also available ."Trade in" feature in store!

Bizzarly there are 2 GAME shops in Wolves.....Both on the same street!

This one, I beleive to be the smaller one closer to the wulfren shopping centre.

Ive found this store to be lacking in game choice and helpfulness. 1 minutes walk away is the bigger store, far better equipped for your gaming needs!

Review of Nando's Chickenland

14 Apr 08, 17:08

Smaller and quieter

Which is good!

This is my "local" nandos and its one of my faves ( no they are not all the same)

This one seems to seat less, however it isnt as difficult to seat guests!

The manager and staff are alway very attentive and ive never had a bad word to say about them!

I think its location is the reason for the chilled out atmosphere.

If you have never been to a nandos before, check out their website for thier full menu, but basically ....its chicken, cooked to different "hotness" Piri Piri style!

simple good food!

Review of The Newhampton Inn

14 Apr 08, 17:00

A mirage...

Ill be honest I was really suprpised and impressed by this pub. its more than what meets the eye!

For starters the Pub always has a very upbeat/ jolly atmosphere ( such an underused word I feel ! lol)

The food is great and there is a vast array of beers and special ales on tap.Along side the regular type of drinks.

The centre piece of this particular pub is the unexpected bowls green round the back!

You wouldnt expect it from a pub in that location and its a pleaseing surprise when you take your chilled beer outside in the summer.

The beer garden is one of Wolverhamptons best and should definately be on your list to visit this summer!
