Who is this place designed for? 
This place is nice, but I always find it really confusing! It looks like the sort of place you can pop in and have a snack, but come about 5pm, it suddenly morphs into this really formal place where you have to pre-book, pay a fortune for food and feel like you should be wearing peals and a scarf. I went in with friends for a few drinks and it looks like the sort of place you can relax, have a drink and some bar snacks in, but then it goes really formal all of a sudden. Always seems busy but I can't work out for the life of me who this place is actually aimed at! Service is OK but they tend to be foreign and pretty formal so you don't feel very comfortable in there. I'm not a huge fan of such formal places. If they decided who they were aiming at and made it more relaxed, it might make it more appealing...

Review of Britannia View Restaurant

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!

Review of Blenheim Palace Gardens

Beautiful - concerts can be BAD 
This is one of my favourite places in the world. The grounds of Blenheim Palace are absolutely stunning. You really do feel like you've gone back in time. It's SO expensive though. Unless you want to see the house I would suggest parking in one of the villages a mile or so away and then walking through the grounds. The house is stunning, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, you can see his cot and everything. It's ideal for a walk, or if you're stuck for somewhere to take the oldies, they'll love it. My partner took his parents there and he said they absolutely loved it. It's also got a tea room so after a long walk you can have cake. They have loads of exhibitions and shows in the grounds so keep an eye out for that. I went to see James Blunt live there. The concert was fabulous, but the organisation of the cars was AWFUL!!! They had TWO exits for thousands of cars so it was horrific. I would suggest you treat yourself to a night in a hotel in Woodstock if you go to a concert there.... then you can walk past as everyone else is stressing

Review of Papa Luigi Pizza Franchise
28 Apr 08, 13:16
Great staff 
I was really impressed with this place. We popped into get a takeaway pizza a few weeks ago (when it was freezing outside) and said we'd collect it in about 10 minutes. The girl offered to meet us around the back in the car park so we didn't have to walk so far! So we ended up literally driving round, meeting her (who was waiting in the cold for us bless her!) and picking up the pizza on the spot. I don't know if that was a one off but if all their customer service is like that then they definitely deserve 5 stars. Food is good too - but you can't go too far wrong with pizza....

Review of Pi Bar

Nice atmosphere but really noisy
I really like this bar. I've been in a couple of times now and although it's really noisy it does have a really nice atmosphere. Wouldn't be a very good place for a date as you wouldn't be able to hear each other speak though... wish we had more bars like this in Northampton. I imagine it would be a really nice place to go and chill out in after work.

Review of Mario's Leic

Good chips!
My friend always drags me in here kicking and screaming.... hmmm more like the other way round. I know it looks a bit minging but I've been a few times now and I like it. It's very chilled and you can eat chips, drink coke and play pool. We saw a girl buying chips in her pyjamas the other day, now if that isn't chilled....

Review of Auntie Ruths Bar

Great salsa lessons
I've only ever been there for salsa lessons (which are awesome!) but it seems like a great place. I know lots of people who go there and rate it really highly. I love all the photos on the wall - it's really unique so definitely worth popping by...
