Review of Britannia View Restaurant
08 May 08, 17:47
Not my cup of tea... 
This is actually the restaurant upstairs in Debenhams... this place is always over crowded, plus the tables are never cleaned. It's a self service cafe. The Royal Yacht is right infront of it so you can't see the harbour as it blocks it, then right down infront of you, you've got all the maintenance yard where there are men welding and stuff so it's a bit of a minging view... definitely wouldn't rate this place!

Nice clothes.... if you're a manikin
If you are either a manikin, an under-developed 14 year old, or both, then you'll find loads of clothes in here... if you are a real woman with proper decent hips the way God intended they should be, then good luck finding something to fit! I went in today and the size 12 dress looked tiny. Nothing like shops like these to help make you feel like an elephant. But who cares. Skinny isn't sexy. Go somewhere where real women are made to feel wanted... they bang on about magazines and the media being the main cause of female insecurity, well they need to look at ridiculous shops like these. Have you seen the manikins in the window? They make Victoria Beckham look fat. So you won't catch me shopping anywhere like that. Nice clothes - just make them for real women, and not skinny little girls!

Review of McDonald's Restaurant
24 Apr 08, 11:24
It's beyond me
Why would ANYBODY ever eat in MacDonalds? I just don't get it. The service is always awful, the food is junk and tastes like rubber. I hate seeing little kids eating in there. I know they claim it's 100% chicken breast meat in the chicken nuggets etc but that's along with loads of other chemicals. If you're out on lunch you can get a pizza in Society down the road for the same price as you would a big mac meal (buy one get one free on all lunchtime pizzas in society) so split it with a friend, and eat something with a bit of taste...

Review of The Acorn

Not good
You may take your life in your hands when you enter this pub... it's your typical badly managed Hungry Horse (eww) chain with cheap food. Last time I went in there (which was a long time ago) it got raided by the police who were looking for someone drinking in there. Yeah, not great. Best avoided. Although nice pub garden.

Review of Supercuts

TERRIBLE!
Imagine hell... and then imagine what hell would look like if it were housed within a hairdressing salon. My friend and I went in for one of those 'walk-in' appointments. My friend's hair was hacked off like a boy, she left in tears, and my hair was layered on one side and not the other. On top of that, the girls who were working in there would struggle to spell the word HAIR let alone know how to cut it. Don't go near!!!!

Review of Asda Superstore

Size does matter
This could be some people's idea of shopping delight.... but to me it's torture. It's absolutely huge! You'd need a fortnight to get round. I'm more a grab and run kinda girl (and I always forget stuff) so if you go here be prepared to walk two miles to get the butter and then another two miles when you realised you forgot pasta. Good luck to all those who shop in her, because I doubt you'll come back out again. TOO BIG!

Review of Bridge Night Club
23 Apr 08, 12:17
Nice place - shame about the people
If you take yourself really seriously, want to strutt your stuff and then pick up a delightfully shallow man (or a local Z list celeb) it's ideal for you. If you have a slightly healthier perspective on life, avoid it. Sorry, harsh I know! But it's true.If you do find yourself in there, play my game. Count the toff men in pink shirts with their collars up... 1... 2... 3...

Review of Isola

Always quiet
You can't even find a phone number for this place online as the owners haven't updated any of the new information!
It's always been really quiet whenever I've been in and quite pretentious. The drinks are REALLY expensive and come in small glasses and it's really small inside. The decor is nice though and they do have a nice courtyard. But I wouldn't recommend it.

Review of Post Office

Always be prepared - take your tent
I would recommend you take your tent and BBQ with you if you plan to use this Post Office because believe me, you will be there a while. Now, I know they have a bad reputation, but this one takes the biscuit. I don't think the staff could crack a smile if Lenny Henry walked in naked and started telling gags... they are so miserable and the queues are just ridiculous. It could be something to do with one staff member to every 423084723896 customers. Now come on, seriously, sort it out. Avoid this Post Office, it's shocking.

Review of The Wig & Pen
22 Apr 08, 15:27
GRIM!
I had to pop in here the other day by myself... I warn you now, don't enter on your own as a female! The second I got in the door I had two VERY drunk men come over and start harassing me. Worst of all I wasn't helped at ALL by the barman. Be aware this was at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon! It's absolutely grim. Seriously, if you're not put off enough by the outside, believe me, the inside will put you off for life......

Review of The Whale

One of life's great mysteries
If you're male and WELL over 50... you'll probably love this pub. I always look in and wonder why people are drinking in there when there are so many other nice pubs around! I'm not a huge fan as it's really dated and a bit grim inside but if you want to sit in the window watching the world go by stroking your beard, this is the pub of your dreams...

Review of Lloyds No. 1 Bar
22 Apr 08, 11:36
Not a fan
Hmmm.... I'm not a huge fan of this place. It's fine for an after work drink but the food isn't very nice (my friend's prawns came back uncooked twice) and they weren't very polite about it at all. It doesn't look very clean either. It's cheap and maybe a good place to start on a night out, but I'm not very impressed

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...

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.
