Review of Vets On White Hart Lane
30 Jul 07, 16:03
Helpful and friendly 
The vets at this practice have always been approachable and kind. They accept various kinds of pet insurance, and also sell a range of pet-friendly foods and toys.
They're good at sending out appointment reminders (and they send them addressed to the pet, which is a sweet touch) and are good at explaining what needs to be done. You can tell by the way that they handle their patients that they genuinely love animals. All this, plus the fact that they offer evening and weekend appointments, means they have a loyal clientele in the area.

Review of The Halfway House
30 Jul 07, 14:22
A local pub, for local people 
The vast majority of people who visit this pub are regulars, who sit on stools pulled up to the bar, and make it difficult to get served. This pub used to have a reputation for nasty locals and violence, and while this has disappeared along with the old decor, mild suspicion about non-regulars remains.
They've got a fairly average selection of beers - a couple of bitters, though, which makes a change - and they serve basic homemade pub grub. But neither of these are huge draws, so the regular pub quiz is pretty much the only reason to visit unless you are a local, too.
Having said that, the atmosphere is light-years better since the smoking ban, so it might be worth checking out another one of their regular events, including music a couple of nights a week.
