Review of Asda Stores
29 Apr 08, 21:57
Cheap Petrol 
The Asda is what you would expect. Very large and cheap as chips. Has all the whistles and bells as well as the downfalls of chav shoppers. The best thing about this place is the £1.03 petrol!! As prices are soaring everwhere else it was good to see a comparatively cheap source. Probably won't last but for now...

Review of Cineworld
29 Apr 08, 21:54
Poor quality 
It has movies and is just another cinema. At close inspection it's what you'd expect... expensive, full of teenage twats and in need of a clean. What i didn't expect was to listen to building works going on in the mall throughout the movie. Had to argue for a refund from a snotty teenage "Duty manager" on a power trip. There are better cinemas in North London.

Review of Ipswich Town Football Club
29 Apr 08, 21:49
Good ground shame about the football
The team are good value for Championship football. The stadium is better than some premiership grounds, crowd are fantastic and there are nearly always goals. If you want to watch football first hand for under £30 with nearly always tickets available then the tractor boys are the team for you!

Review of Tottenham Lane Service Station
29 Apr 08, 21:44
better to go elsewhere 
As garages go I thought I'd try the one next to Hornsey overground station. The main guy in reception is friendly enough but doesn't seem to be one for communication. When I asked them to call before starting work once they had identified the problem he failed to do so. Instead when I called I found the work had already been done before I could debate whether the price they offered was good value. Having had my exhaust replaced a knocking noise developed. I took the car back and they looked again. Very unhelpful and now refuse to admit they caused another problem. Would suggest Quick Fit a bit further down the same road. At least they have quality promise and you can get quotes before work carried out!

Review of Lucky Star Chinese Takeaway
24 Apr 08, 14:22
better to travel further for more..
If you’re after Chinese takeaway you can do a lot better than the Lucky Star! For ease they are ok. The next best alternative is a 10 min drive away in Hadleigh so you can be forgiven for going here. The food is average and often luke warm when delivered or even from the shop. The fortune cookies are awful and the portions often lack enough meat. They sell chips with the meals which should indicate how authentic they really are! If any competition emerged in theVillage they’d soon go bust.

Review of Hare & Hounds
24 Apr 08, 14:16
Wish it could be Sunday everyday!! 
Not a pub for everyday but great for Sunday Roast!! The food comes on those extra large roast dishes so portions are anything but small. The food is fresh, often there is the option of Game Pie. This varies in content from duck to dear and even has the odd bit of shot in to prove it really was caught in the week!. The home cooked veg and roasts leave other pubs in the area struggling to meet the standard. All this for about £8 is a bargain. Only problem is Sunday only comes once a week.

Review of Kings Head
24 Apr 08, 14:08
Best Bergholt pub
If you want to be in with the cool crowd you'll head for this pub! It has the usual pool table, country food and wierdo locals as well as that something extra. The usual crowd are always welcoming, often you'll end up at one in the morning drinking with people you met hours ago discussing the weirdest topic whilst drinking your way through anyuthing and everything they have to offer.

Review of Red Lion
24 Apr 08, 14:03
Not the best in the village
Est Bergholt has a few pubs to choose from. I wouldn't make the Red Lion my first choice but it does have the sport on. The food is good, the menu is good old fashioned country bumbkin food. The laes are Green King based and has a couple of pot bellied locals as part of the fixtures and fittings.

Review of Bella Italia
24 Apr 08, 13:58
Great service
The food in Bella Italia is the same across the chain - pizzas and pasta. This particular branch has something lacking in most - fantastic service. The food was served quickly, the waiter helpful and offered good advice. If stuck for places to eat in bournemouth you could do worse!!

Review of Rhinefield House Hotel
24 Apr 08, 13:47
The perfect retreat! 
I decided very late doors to wisk away the mrs to a 5 star retreat for some R&R. I found this place through laterooms.com and booked for the next day. The location is surreal and exactly what you search for when you think country manor. It'slocated in the middle of the new forest. Having driven through the forest you drive down a long driveway to the most amazing castle sized country manor. The hotel has indoor and outdoor pools, health spa, gym, 2 restaurants and much more to fill your time. The rooms are very large with 50" plasma TVs in each. The hotel mixes modern comforts with a tradional backdrop. The grounds are beautiful and would make the perfect seeting for summer events. The staff are very friendly and the food matches the best london restaurants. Well worth a visit!!
