Review of West Coast Rock Cafe

09 Apr 08, 16:44

American Diner 4*

Deceptively hidden behind a rather shonky looking door next to Next, West Coast Rock is a treat mainly locals only know about.

It's an American diner style restaurant and has a massive menu from pizzas to salads to steak to burgers. Prices range from about £7 to £13.

Chicken Caesar Salad is particularly good as are the mozarella sticks.

Review of Randall and Aubin

09 Apr 08, 16:57

Seafood & Disco 4*

Fancy expensive seafood & steak in the heart of Soho's gay scene? Love disco pumping and glitterballs! you're in luck.

Located on Brewer Street, just down from Madme Jo Jos, it's pretty expensive and often has a queue.

There aren't any sit down tables, instead it's stool and tall table / bar based.

Service can be a bit stuck up but the fabulous disco surroundings make up for it. The chicken rotisserie is particularly nice, very melt in the mouth, various steaks are on offer and seafood elements picked from a fresh counter.

Personal recommendation would be the prawn cocktail and half lobster with fries.

Review of Travelodge Bath

09 Apr 08, 17:08

Moderately shonky 2*

A travelodge is a travelodge but the Bath central one was particularly shonky.

It's a great location in the middle of a beautiful town but particularly old fashion. Reception was manned by a scary eastern european lady with blue eyebrows drawn on.

For £69 I expected more, the room was very basic but it also had a big brown hole in the wall.

I wouldn't stay here again.

Review of The Ghetto

09 Apr 08, 17:13

Brilliant Night Out 5*

A great gay club situated in a basement down an alley that smells of wee.

Every night has a different theme from pop to indie to college rock to electro to dance.

Prices are pretty cheap for Soho and they have great drinks offers. Staff are alternative and friendly and that's the general ethos, it's meant to be a place to avoid the cliched bitchy gay scene

Review of The Garrick Arms

09 Apr 08, 17:14

Not Great 3*

Often smelling of sick, this is located just behind Leicester Square.

There's a wide range of drinks on offer from ale, cider, WKD and really sweet, but nice Rose Wine. They also have Ocean Spray Cranberry in a can which is quite unusual.

Go only through necessity.

Review of Tossed

Saladtastic 4*

A touch of health in a zone of food disasters. There's not many nice places to eat around leicester square.

Pick your base from cos, brown rice, cous cous and mixed leaves then select either a house salad or design your own.

There's also sandwiches, soups, stews, jacket potatoes avaliable and they do great smoothies. I particularly enjoy the strawberry surprise & chicken caesar salad.

Review of Infernos Nightclub

09 Apr 08, 17:23

Clapham at it's finest 3*

I've only been once and was expecting a terrible time so it actually came out better than expected.

Reminded me of clubs back home in Blackpool - full on cheese, carpeted floors, talking djs.

It's got a huge two floors, lots of bars and is filled with hot girls, and ugly guys.

If you went to unis like Warwick, Birmingham etc, then prepare to spot people you snogged 5 years ago and never want to see again.

Review of Bierodrome

09 Apr 08, 17:30

Good food & drink 4*

From the belgo's chain, this is a great restaurant and bar on Upper Street. It's up by the town hall so high enough to avoid drunk maniacs.

Food is Belgian and includes lobster, steaks, burgers, fish & chips plus some really great desserts.

The beer is really key though with hundreds of different assortments. Favourites include the Ninkeberry and fruli beers. Delerium Tremors is a fav with my male friends if they want to get drunk quickly.

Review of Rossopomodoro Covent Garden

09 Apr 08, 17:36

New Pizza in Covent Garden 3*

This is a small chain around London and they recently opened in Covent Garden.

It's a large two floor restaurant and when I went on Friday night at 9.30 pm it was very full.

I wasn't that keen on it though, the menus were full of interesting sounding toppings but upon arrival we were all a bit disappointed. My 4 cheese pizza was like a giant boat of cheese!

Review of Fire and Stone

09 Apr 08, 17:38

Yummy Pizza 5*

Probably my favourite pizza in London, Fire & Stone takes a different slant on pizza.

All the options are named after cities and the toppings represent that city. The base is pretty thick and the toppings pile on. Small potato pieces on a pizza may sound odd but trust us it works. The Canberra is my favourite.

They often have big offers on so it's worth checking their website or toptable.
