Wagamama ++

Basically you'd never actively want to go to Wagamama's again after you've had a meal here. The style is very similar, communial dinning with fast and furious service. So if you don't mind hearing how Jess thought about her latest date went or what Paul's day at the office was like whilst dinning on some rather good Japanese noodle, sushi or curry dishes then this is the place for you.

If you want my advice I'd select one of the Japanese Shinto boxes. They've got a mixture of most things on the menu and for less than a £10 you can feel stuffed (always a sign of a very good meal in my book)!

Knock it down and build some flats

Enough said really, then i'd never again have the pleasure of paying £45 to see a West Brom team get stuffed 4-0...

Review of Monmouth Coffee House

This is the place to buy coffee!

A great place to buy coffee beans from around the globe. Most of the stuff is ethically sourced and the staff are really knowledgable. Tasting notes are available to make sure you get the strength and flavour that you're after.

It's the place to get your coffee and due to the quick turnover of stock you'll always have a new bean to try next time you visit...

Review of Rustique

Easy Like Sunday Morning

What a brilliant little cafe complete with garden out back. The atmosphere is chilled and a little arty (well enough for me!). The menu is focused on your typical cafe fair. My recommendation would be for the home made quiche or the jacket potatoe with goat's cheese and mediterranean vegetables.

The only draw back is the fact that they don't do fry ups - so a trip to Stingray on the opposite side of the road is required every once in a while.

Outside Table Football!

Picture a summer evening, you're with friends and you've had a couple of nice cold pints of beer or a glass or 2 of Pimms, and then you spot it. The only outside pub table football in North London and there's a few wide boys already playing on it. The perfect opporunity to challenge and show your skills and quite frankly the perfect pub to spend a summer evening at.

I don't know whether it's the best in the winter as i've never been and probably never will however this place comes into it's own as soon as the summer weather hits the north. Oh and Regents Park is a 10 minute walk if you fancy an alternative venue should the beer garden gets too crowded.

Fast Food

This place makes a change. You can catch an Ice Hockey brawl on TV whilst chomping on some pulled pork - nice! I've never been to Canada but it kind of feels a little bit Canadian (sorry if this is making any lumberjacks blood boil). The set up is really quite basic, put your order in, get your food on a tray, buy a beer, sit on a high chair and pull at some pork or spare ribs.

So if you like your fast food this makes a change from McDonalds or KFC. Give it a try and see what you think

Review of Annex 3

01 Jul 07, 16:28

A little too much

in a nice way...

Perhaps i'm not classy enough but on the 2 occassions i've been here i've found it a little bit OTT. The bar's nice enough and the waitress service is what you'd expect, efficiency with a beautiful smile, however it's all too much of a show.

However if you want to impress someone and go somewhere dazzling and ostentaious then you can't fault Annex 3.

Perfect Party Pub

So it's true this pub is popular with skinny indie kids. However not many people would call me skinny, I might like a bit of indie music but i'm certainly not a kid. Having said all that I love this place. It's always good lively, good fun and the beer garden is a sure fire winner if your looking for a party venue.

Review of Odeon Cinema

It's a cinema, what do you expect?

Agree with Adam G, the place does what it says on the tin, shows a wide variety of films on decent sized screens. It's well worth 3 stars in my book
