Review of Linnet & Lark
13 Nov 07, 10:51
Super Local Pub since Refurbishment 
This used to be my local for three years and although a lot of pubs were better in many respects, the linnet never got boring. Big screen for the sports, friendly staff and locals, pub quiz machine and a very popular live band night on a Thursday. It had a refit done a few years back which I'm still undecided about but what I would say is that this pub has something for everyone including a cracking quiz night on a Wednesday.

Review of Three John Scotts
13 Nov 07, 10:50
A Surprisngly Nice Wetherspoons
The second wetherspoons in the city center, and definitely the better of the two. This place has more character mainly because they bought this building out rather than built it from scratch. The pub is huge inside, its clean, warm and friendly. One of the better pubs in the city. Because its so big, it attracts a large crowd, mostly young people rather than the usual older regulars hanging around the bar you sometimes get. Definitely worth having a drink or two there.

Review of Repercussion Music Co
13 Nov 07, 10:46
Above Average Music Shop on Beverley Road 
Repercussion resides next door to another local music shop Antone's. Its strange to have for only a handful of music shops in Hull and even more strange for two to be next door to one another. I didn't find the shop held as much stock as Antone's although the items they do stock are of good quality. The staff were helpful when I needed to buy a beginners amp although the price was a little on the expensive side but its an independant shop so you are paying for quality and expertise.

Review of Antone's Guitars
13 Nov 07, 10:43
Really Great Guitar Shop For Beginners
Antone's Guitars on Beverley Road has so many guitars in stock. From the outside the shop looks small but when you go inside they shop is far reaching due to an extended back room. Some of them are just fantastic to play and the range from a few hundred to a few thousand pounds each. Theres also Amps and Sheet music plus everything else you would expect from a music shop such as an array of plectrums. They also do repairs on guitars and amps and were also nice enough to re-string my guitar. If you are a beginner at guitars, this is the place to go too.

Review of Newland Community Pharmacy
13 Nov 07, 10:36
Great Local Pharmacy Serving Hull Students
Newland Avenue is full of shops but very few essential shops, so this Pharmacy is really appreciated in the local community. The staff were friendly, helpful and quick to serve me whilst the shop itself has plenty of stock. I managed to find everything I wanted very easily. It would be nice if it was open a bit later in the evening as there aren't many places around open in the late evening to get medicine from near the University.

Review of Spencers

Good Unisex Hairdressers in Residential Area
Spencer's Hair Design is my local unisex hairdressers off one of the main roads into Doncaster town center. I have been here a few times mostly because others hairdressers have been booked up or are busy. Although its a unisex hairdressers, 90% of their customers are still female. I found them very accommodating to fit me in at a good time for me, and the stylist was very good and quick. The price was cheaper than I expected for a stylist and staff seemed friendly and chatty towards me.

Review of Gaskell & Webb
13 Nov 07, 10:23
Very Friendly Local Pharmacy
Gaskell and Webb had a refurbishment doen recently which makes the shop a lot more attractive to customers. It's a really good pharmacy near my parents house but its not particularly big. Nevertheless they still seemed to have all the essentials in stock. I used to pick up my prescriptions there which were always quick to be dealt with. The staff are friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend coming here to pick up your medicine if you live locally.

Review of K & J Darvill
13 Nov 07, 10:17
Super Butchers with Really Fresh Produce
K Darvill is one of only a few local butchers left in Wheatley and the Wheatley Hills area. I highly recommend them event though they are only a small shop. We often get our Christmas Turkey from them and although its not the cheapest butchers, its the friendliest and the meat always tastes really fresh. Try getting your weekly meat from here rather than the local Sainsburys down Thorne Road.

Review of Wheatley Hills Post Office
13 Nov 07, 10:14
Very Friendly Local Post Office
This used to be my local post office as a child and I always remember it being a very dark small shop with a large amount of sweets jars. It got bought by another couple and few years ago and had a refurbishment which makes the shop look terrific inside. There are two post office counters and the queues are normally quite small. The staff are friendly and it has a community feel about the place.

Review of The Wheatley Hotel
13 Nov 07, 10:12
Really Great Local Pub 
This was my local for many years. It's basically a hotel with a large bar downstairs. It terms of facilities this place has a lot. A large seating outside the pub and back, a function room, a car park and it also serves pub lunch most days of the week. Theres a lot of staff so service is quick and the drinks prices are very reasonable. I really like it here, it has a relaxed atmosphere but also the more lively vibe you get in a town center pub due to more younger people coming here to drink. I think the best time to visit thou is during thew summer to enjoy the beer garden.
