So for a recent trip back to the States, I had to make a stop at Thornton's to pick up a box or two. Good service, they will help you figure out the right thing to purchase if you don't know what to get. Though it's kinda hard to go wrong with chocolate of any type!

The store is kept clean and tidy and always looks well presented whenever i call in. The staff were very polite, helpful and friendly.

So when it's time for picking up a Christmas present, where else could I go other than here?

They had a few samples out for the customers to try. A worker immediately greeted me when I walked in and she gave me an overview of the store and answered my questions. There were so many choices, that I became a bit overwhelmed, but I was able to finally make a decision. The prices were reasonable for the quality of chocolate that they sell. This is a great place to pick up a sweet treat for yourself or a nice gift of chocolate for someone else.

This House of Chocolates really is what it says. It is a charming little shop on the corner of a…read morecharming green in Richmond. If it was all anymore enchanting it would be in a Disney cartoon. When I walk in I have to resist the urge to start chewing at the walls just to see whether this shop is actually made of chocolate. So, it is a relatively small premise, but simply filled to the brim. Mainly this shop sells individual chocolates; cream filled, praline, nougat, dusted, dark and many more. They also sell a section of Thortons chocolates as well. Because I came in near Christmas there was plenty of Christmas gifts, such as chocolate Santa's and snowmen. I'm sure Easter is just as well represented. This is also a prefect place to pick up gifts. There are walls of chocolate gift boxes, ranging in size from a few chocs to around a hundred. Anyone want to buy me a present from here?

I recognized immediately that it wasn't exactly cheap, but you also can tell right away that it will all be worth every penny. And it was. The woman behind the counter, who I assume was probably the owner, was extremely helpful and patient. She gave extra details on all of the chocolates that I asked about. I ended up getting one of each of the following ganaches: marc de champagne, passionfruit jelly in milk chocolate, a hand-painted heart with a bee, an earl grey, and I'm afraid I can't remember the last two. But every single one was divine, and it was all packaged in a perfect little box. Happy birthday to me! What a shame we don't have one of these in the states.
Great Christmas gifts

It is a gem of a chocolate shop…read more Run by a man and wife team - she makes the chocolates in the back shop and he serves the customers Lovely people, but really it's their chocolates I love. They are superb! They do an interesting range which includes strawberry & black pepper (my favourite) and caramel & sea salt (my other favourite). They only sell what they made that day, so it's best in there kind of mid-morning. It's not cheap mind, but you are buying quality.

I chosen some fruit toppings and small salted caramel cubes (awesome texture, a must-try) which meant I received the portion in a plastic bowl - but that was my negligence to say I wanted it coned.

We were seated, given menus and waited, and waited, and waited. So I targeted a member of wait staff behind the counter (was king tea pots as far as I could tell) and asked her to send someone our way. A few minutes later we are served. It is early afternoon, not busy, plenty of empty tables so there is no excuse for the long wait. We decided against the cream tea and went with more lunch-like items. Essentially sandwiches and a lot of tea each. Not bad, not memorable, over priced. 1 thumbs up (for Mrs G). Will I go again if I don't have to? No. Will I grin and bare it? Yes. Will I show Mrs G this review? No I guess my 3 star is 4 star for Mrs G and a grudging 2 star from me! Review #84 2019

My wife and I tried the grilled chicken (peri-peri) and grilled octopus (porvo) and they both are prepared really good to my taste (we prefer a little bland or less salty and it just suits us). Highly recommended for tourist who wants to explore local faves around London. All the the other 3 couples who are with us enjoyed their own dish as well!

The main course were grilled salmon in lemon and butter sauce. This was really good in flavor and a hint of crispness from being grilled but the meat is tender. Then we had the grilled octpus. Man, this was the highlight of the day. Serving size was big. It was so good we ordered another for to go. This place is really close to the London Heathrow Airport and a must try if you're really hungry. They have their own parking spots (but really tight space, just like all of UK parking spaces where plus size people will have a hard time getting in/out of the car as the spaces between cars are really tight) They have paper towels in the restroom and some outdoor seating.
Stopped by this cafe in while waiting for our bus to leave Windsor…read more For a small and tastefully furnished coffeehouse, they had quiet a variety of F&D. We got a cortado and avocado cake. Both were really good, with special mention to the avocado cake as you could actually taste the avocado within. The baristas were friendly and accommodating. The warm covered patio at the back seemed a comfortable option than the in-cafe and at the front seats. Oh, the clean public toilets are located by the patio also. Shops and restaurants are also inside the roofed Windsor Royal Shopping Center which made for a better shopping experience as it was raining. Can't say no to complimentary WIFI when traveling.

I basically came here for a coffee, and was probably one of the first here, though I noticed that a number of cyclists had also turned up. Anyway, this was quite a nice cafe, and they made a pretty decent coffee as well.

Can't lie I was skeptical at first ... but I spread the crème fraiche on the rye bread and combined with the salmon for each bite and it was awesome .. the salmon was the correct amount of smoky and fresh .

This isn't just a fudge shop, it's an experience! After a day in Windsor, we were heading back to…read morethe train, when we noticed a very entertaining man handing out fudge samples. We couldn't resist so we walked right over. He was so funny and welcoming! I can't remember exactly what he said, but before we knew it, we were in the shop trying out even more flavors. His co-worker who was inside was just as welcoming as him! For those few minutes that we were in the store, I honest felt like I was a part of their family. We ended up buying a piece of fudge and went along with our day, but the experience stuck with us and is something we talk about even now - 2 months later! Now the fudge itself - so, so good! I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the flavors! The salted caramel is a personal favorite and double chocolate is really good too! I tend to like more of the classic flavors, but they have tons of options to choose from if you're looking for something more unique. They have a location in Cambridge as well, right across from King's College. I've had fudge from there too and while it tastes just as good, and the staff is nice, it's not quite the same as the staff at this location! I highly recommend making a stop here if you're in Windsor!

I had a cancelled flight and ended up connecting through here, the funny thing is I thought at least I could find that good fish and chips place. I only remembered it was on the 2nd floor but was able to find it easily, the last time we came was in 2018. Fish and Chips: It's even marked on the menu as being special, I used to tell my friends that this place was better than anywhere in the US but sadly that isn't true anymore. The fish was huge but the batter was very thick this time though it did have a nice crispy crunch. Chips were not good, very overdone and not unstarched and double fried like the local Chippers do. The smashed peas were good and have the dish some color and I lived the lemon in cheesecloth so the seeds wouldn't fall out. Gin and Tonic: It honestly tastes better in London, proper gin and tonic in the correct glass.

Finally an independent coffee specialty cafe in Watford Hooray!!! And bloody great one at that too…read more The cafe is run by a lovely couple who are passionate about coffee and food. The cafe has that beautiful wooden floor finish, both in flooring and seating. They also have stools by the window if you want to watch the world go by. They have quirky lighting and lovely counter where you can see all that delicious food. Their are also framed photographs from the couple's worldly travels. I tried their Latte and I was in Heaven I had to sip that slow. I also had their festive porridge with the currents/sultanas on top, which was delicious. Their banana bread is to die for! Please get it toasted. I've also tried their homemade cake's which was a carrot cake and brownie which was lovely too. I also got to try their juicy, well seasoned sausage roll. They have an in and out pricing on their food it's roughly between £2-£5 but also do deals as well like coffee and bacon roll £3.10 from 8am to 11am. They have a corner where you can pick up flyers/leaflet of local events, and also a independent coffee magazine. The the also provide daily newspaper, and free wifi Its medium in size, so when it is packed, they do encourage you to share tables. The staff are friendly and have great customer service. I love the atmosphere in here, they have a really good playlist and love the fact that it gives a little bit of London in Watford.
