Review of Sway
24 Sep 07, 10:15
Bar, restaurant, club 
I've been to Sway a couple of times, the first was early evening during the week and we sat in the ground floor restaurant, even though we were not eating. The 'kitchen' as they call it, is a huge room filled with booths and tables. It also has a long bar, which we didn't get to use as we were treated to table service. Downstairs, they have a large bar, private function room and a club room. You can order bar snacks and nibbles down there and there are large booths along the walls. You can also book online, whether it's 6 for drinks, 4 for dinner or an entire function room you want.

Review of The John Snow
24 Sep 07, 09:57
cheap and cheerful 
If you like your pubs unpretentious and a bit traditional then you'll like the John Snow. It's a Samuel Smith pub so the drinks are pretty cheap. The interior is all old wood and dark colours and the main bar is split into sections, however this does mean crouching through a half height door if your on the wrong side of the divide! It's not the biggest pub but does have an upstairs which I have yet to investigate. They also serve food but I didn't get round to trying that out either!

Review of The Comedy Store
10 Jul 07, 13:37
So funny it hurts
Having only ever seen live comedy in huge theatres I didn't know what to expect at the Comedy Store. I had a great time, I laughed so much my face ached! I went to the Tuesday night Cutting Edge show which relies on audience suggestions to get them started. It is a loose competition between the 6 comedians with songs and plenty of interaction with the audience. It's quite a small and dark place which gives it great atmosphere, just don't sit on the front row unless you really want to participate! Along with the bar they also serve a good selection of food which you can take to your seat in the audience. The average plate it about £6. The Comedy Store is a great night out, guaranteed to make you laugh.

Review of Angel and Crown
14 Jun 07, 14:10
Great for people watching
This pub is conveniently placed for the theatres in this area, that's the reason I've been here a few times. The interior is quite authentic with dark wood and some nice original looking features. It's a great place to people watch as the streams of tourists, shoppers and theatre goers is endless and dispite being quite small I've always managed to grab a good seat.

Review of Sausage and Mash
13 Jun 07, 18:53
The perfect no frills cafe
Dispite the name, they do have more than just sausage and mash on the menu (cooked breakfasts, fish cakes, pies etc) but the sausages are definitely the best. Mix and match two or three different sausages with your choice of mash and gravy or if you like to share, go for the Desperate Dan sausage plates (twelve sausages!) Topped of with a mug of tea or a ginger beer, you can't go wrong! Also, if it's busy and you have to wait for a table, you can leave your number and they'll call you when your table is ready.

Review of Dansk Flowers
13 Jun 07, 18:23
Gorgeous bouquets
If you're treating someone (or yourself) then you can't get much better than Dansk Flowers. They have a great choice of hand-tied bouquets in various sizes and colours. Or if you know exactly what you want they also have a huge selection of cut flowers to choose from. On the down side, some of the larger bouquets are pretty expensive but they're absolutely gorgeous so well worth it!

Review of Raj Moni Indian Cuisine
13 Jun 07, 17:58
Hit and miss 
On the surface this is a fairly standard Indian restaurant. The decor is contemporary and the tables are packed in. The food is the usual korma, madras, balti etc but the standard is not consistent. I've had a lovely meal here and a quite bad meal. So you might get lucky and have a great night, but then again, you might wish you hadn't bothered.

Review of Smiths Of Smithfield
13 Jun 07, 15:38
Great food, patchy service.
I love this place! I've been here for breakfast on the ground floor. There is a huge choice from a full English to a bowl of porridge or just toast and jam. It was pretty busy so we had to wait for a table but once seated the service was quick. I've also been to the second floor restaurant for dinner. Again I found it difficult to choose between all the options. I chose fish cakes, a personal favourite, and I was not disappointed. Although if I could only have one dish it would have to be the vanilla cheesecake which was outstanding! The restaurant was quite noisy and the service was a little slow even for a busy Saturday night which is why I can't give five stars. Go for the top notch food and the fact that you can book a table online.

Review of Masala Zone
13 Jun 07, 15:16
Intersting Indian
I really like Masala Zone. The food is tasty and the service is very friendly, if a little slow when it gets really busy. The food is a bit more exciting than the average Indian restaurant with the option of spicy noodles bowls and thalis along with the traditional curries. A great option if you just can't decide what sort if food you fancy. Add to that a good drinks menu including tasty smoothies and it's a winner.
