Review of The Goose In The City
12 Apr 08, 15:21
Goose, Wolverhampton 
Usually full of old, serial drinkers in the daytime but in the evening you do get a younger crowd in and is a good place to head into early on. There is food available throughout the day but tends to be simple pub grub.

Review of The Cuban Exchange

Cuban Exchange, Wolverhampton
Not my first choice of bars to go to in the city but surprisingly it does get quite busy, The music can be quite eclecitc but if you don't like the usual chain or theme bars then this might be a place you want to check out.

Review of The Goose At The Ovt

The Goose
This has been re-kitted out and isn't quite the old dark pub it once was but it still doesn't have the atmosphere of a great place. Still likely to be full of older guys sipping their ale in the daytime with a sprinkling if students in the evenings.

Review of Odeon Cinema

Odean Birmingham
Quite an old cinema that doesn't really stand up to today's standards. The screens are smaller than some of the multiplexes and not all seating is great. Also a big hang out for kids and consequent noise and disturbance. Not my first choice at all.

Review of Celebrity Balti

Celebrity Balti
After all the hype and reviews I was quite disappointed by Celebrity Balti. The food was watery and with little flavour. The decor is old and needs a complete refurbishment. It's a shame that a place of good reputation didn't live up to what I expected.

Review of Tesco Metro

Tesco New Street
Conviently located on New Street and by the side entrance of the train station this should be a great store. Unfortunatly the due level means sometimes it is very difficult to find items. Also after 6pm it gets very busy with people shopping after work which seems to take the staff by surprise. Although it is open till late much of the stock is gone by this time, especially fruit and salad is of very limited choice at the best of times. There is also a habit of giving you far too many bags for the items you have and the queues can get quite long.

Review of Tesco Stores

Tesco Ladywood Middleway
One of the biggest Tesco stores within the city but not one of the best. Even after a re-design this L shaped store is so difficult to navigate. On Sundays the Broad Street entrance is shut so for car owners this is fine but for others it's a pain. The staff are reluctant to help (some even won't handle your items or pack bags in the smaller checkout area, if and when this is open). Not a great store but lack of choice and cheap prices still makes it busy, sometimes annoyingly.

Review of Pizza Hut

Pizza Hut New Street
Handy location but variable service. Good buffet when stocked up and friendly enough staff. Probably best avoided during rush hour times but otherwise as you would expect from Pizza Hut.

Review of Big Wok

Big Wok Birmingham
If you want Chinese food quickly and with a large selection then this is a great place to go. Unfortunately by being right in the heart of Birmingham's Chinese Quarter there are plenty of choices of food that may prove a better choice for a meal in the city.
