Review of Yatess Wine Lodge
30 May 08, 16:33
No thanks 
There are so many nice places to go around the West End…so why go to Yates. Well if you want a cheapy lunch and can’t be bothered to go too far then its ok. The food isnt great, but they do replace it when you complain (last time I went my food was not cooked…hmmm!). Its also a bit dark and gloomy!
If you want to go somewhere that is a magnet for stag parties, groups of men visiting the Big Smoke or tourists then this is the pub to go to!
Not for me though thanks!

Review of Capital Radio
21 May 08, 17:37
Listen up! 
Londons Hit Music Station…and what a radio station it is! How could you not love Capital? Jonny and Denise are hilarious…she is fantastic…you have to listen! 10 hits in a row is a great idea and you can have a good sing-a-long in the car! Lucio is great, and it’s the perfect place to catch up with celeb goss and what’s new and exciting in the music world!

Review of The Porterhouse
22 Apr 08, 13:01
Packed Pub 
Love this place, its got loads of character and lots of interesting drinks. The only thing I don’t like is how packed it gets…its really popular and gets totally rammed. I have been here lots of times for after work drinks and reserved an area for my birthday a couple of times, which works really well and everyone loves it. They often have live bands that are always good. Just don’t get lost as its all on different levels, its confusing!

Review of Pitcher and Piano
22 Apr 08, 13:00
Work Drinks!
I like this bar, its perfect for after work. I probably wouldn’t come here if I didn’t work in the area as it is quite obviously a work hangout. It gets busy, but not so busy you can’t get served. The cocktails are yummy and the food is nice. They also reserve tables, so if you are having a birthday or leaving do it’s a good place to go to suit all tastes and reserve an area.

Review of The Harp
16 Apr 08, 17:36
Sausage anyone?
Excellent little pub, I have only been here at lunchtime but it is always packed. It’s lovely in summer when you can stand outside and watch the world go by. It’s a tiny place and you may be put off as its really old small and packed. The service is good and the biggest attraction is the sausages! They service a sausage and pint/soft drink for £5 (I think), but not just any sausage, they are interesting mixes of high quality, such as wild bore, chorizo, lamb and mint…they change regularly. If you are in the area, you MUST give it a try!

Review of The Chandos
16 Apr 08, 17:35
Cheap pint anyone?
What a great pub…who could not like The Chandos, the drinks are cheap, the food is good and reasonably priced. If you ever go, make sure you sit upstairs…it’s like a whole new world up there…really comfortable, lots of space and really good service. We often pop in on a Friday lunch and it’s usually busy, but not too busy…having checked out most places in the area, this pub is at the top of the list!

Review of Charing Cross Railway Station
16 Apr 08, 17:34
Where you catch the train 
Charing Cross is a good station, it is clean, the services are good and it doesn’t smell. However the staff are really unhelpful rude and aggressive, the ticket office staff I have given up on after receiving incorrect information on several occasions. The gate staff are rude and unhelpful. In rush hour it is a bit of a free for all as too many people are passing through at the same time. It can take a while to get through the gates as they refuse to open more gates or let people through the bike gate. Annoying to say the least. But normally trains run on time and I find it is much better than other stations.

Review of Henrys Cafe Bar
10 Apr 08, 09:47
good value for money
I went to Henrys a few months ago with friends for an early dinner. It was incredibly busy and we had to wait over half an hour to be seated, but we didn't have a reservation and there were six of us so it wasn't too long considering its in Covent Garden. The service was satisfactory and the food was plentiful and good value for money. The added bonus of this place is that you can get a drink at the bar afterwards and its a fairly lively atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Henrys if you're in the west end and aren't in the mood to go somewhere more upmarket.

It serves drinks...just
This could be a great pub...its not! It is close to servel places to work, which is why it is packed on a friday night. The service is slow the drinks are expensive and the food is poor. The decor is dull and the loos are horrid...mens urine wiffs up the stairs... Stinky!

Review of Rush Covent Gardens
09 Apr 08, 11:49
The best!
This is with out a doubt the best hair dressers I have been to! Although it is a very trendy place, it is relaxed and friendly. They are also fantastic at cutting hair. Leanne has been cutting my hair for a few years and although I have tried other well known hair dressers it is no match for Rush! She is also speedy and does a complicated cut in my lunch hour. Which is perfect. You will love this place, check it out!
