Review of Zig Zag
21 Apr 08, 16:35
Over priced and grumpy staff 
I had a couple of really bad experiences here I'm afraid.... it was quite a long time ago but first time round the young girl who was drying my hair burnt my scalp badly as she didn't know what she was doing, and the second time the stylist was one of the rudest women I have ever met. She made it very clear she was angry I hadn't allowed enough time for her to do my hair, even though I had allowed two hours. Over priced and bad service. Then when I complained to the manager, I heard nothing. I would suggest you try somewhere else...

Great for Cruelty Free makeup 
If you want a local health food shop, this is your place. REALLY helpful staff who are always happy to answer questions and best of all, they sell the whole Cruelty Free makeup range which is all natural and not tested on animals!

Review of White Hart Hotel
21 Apr 08, 16:31
Gone SO down hill...
I used to go in here LOADS but now it has a pretty bad reputation in Buckingham. Friday and Saturday nights are carnage and really grim. It's quite a rough pub now and although the beer garden is nice in the summer, it's spoilt quite a lot by the people who go there. I saw a woman rip her top off to flash at the bouncer as she stood gyrating on the table... the worst thing was he just laughed. Hmmm. Classy bird. They need to sort out the decoration. Food is REALLY bad too - straight out of the freezer but really expensive. I would definitely suggest you keep well away.

Review of Queens Head
21 Apr 08, 16:28
Great village pub 
If you're looking for a quiet village pub this is ideal. The food is good and from what I remember (haven't been in a few months) good value. It's perfect for lunch if you're visiting Stowe Gardens, or they do dinner too. It's really cosy and the perfect place for an evening drink. It's always a bit of a pain to find parking though...

Review of The Woolpack
21 Apr 08, 16:25
Dog friendly and great in summer 
This is the BEST place to go in the summer because the garden backs onto the river and there are loads of places to sit. It's really nice in winter as they have the fires on and it's really cosy and then in the summer it's great for relaxing in. They are dog friendly in the garden too (and they used to let them inside too, not sure if they still do though) so really nice place to take them. Food is a bit hit and miss... sometimes it's REALLY great and other times the portions are really small. But I would recommend it for lunch definitely. They got REALLY badly flooded and were closed for ages but since the refurb, it's even nicer inside.

Review of Jilly Sanders

Best for posh dresses
This is such a great shop - it is quite pricey but if you're looking for a proper posh dress it's not much more expensive than somewhere like monsoon. It's a bit more quirky and individual too so if you're looking for a posh gown, I highly recommend this place. You also know you're not going to show up somewhere in the same dress as someone else because they only seem to have one of each style. I got a STUNNING black dress from there for £90 and seeing as I've worn it about 5 times already it was worth every penny. Amazing accessories too.

Review of Aristocuts Hairdressing

Best value
For the BEST value come here. They're really friendly, they don't keep you hanging around but most of all, the prices are really good. I have recommended Aristocuts to most of my friends who now go. They also have an upstairs beauty bit so you can have your hair done and have a spray tan on the same day!

Review of Prego
19 Apr 08, 11:59
Not the place to be.... 
Prego used to be lovely, and it still is... if you're willing to wait around 2 hours for your meal. There are always too many customers and not enough staff. It's such a shame because the food is gorgeous and it's so nice inside (they've also got a courtyard for the summer). They really need to restructure their staff and then it'd be great

Review of Xscape Centre
19 Apr 08, 11:57
LOADS to do
Xscape is an awesome place for shopping, eating, cinema, or snowboarding... It has great quirky shops (although bit pricey for the likes of me) La Tasca there is GORGEOUS along with ASK. You can literally spend a day there and have plenty to do. Then at night you've got all the bars, of which there are loads. They also have live music in the bowling bit where all the bars and arcades are. Pre 6pm parking is expensive though!

One of the best in Nortahmpton
I love this restaurant. It's so nice inside and the food is amazing. We went there for a work do a while ago and we had a great night. The puddings are SOOOO good. 100% recommended for a really nice meal in a lovely restaurant.
