Watford Gap is a motorway service along the M1 by J16 and 17, operated by Roadchef…read more It is separated into Northbound and Southbound depending on the direction of travel. I visited their Southbound services. On both sides, there is the traditional Roadchef offering of McDonald's, WHSmith and Costa. The Southbound location has the additional offering of Leon. It is quite small for a motorway service station in general, and the seating area is limited, but given the fact it's only 10 miles in each direction to the next motorway services, Rugby and Northampton, it's forgivable. Certainly not the largest or most attractive motorway service location, but certainly does the job, the 24-7 McDonald's is useful as it provides hot food that can cater to dietary requirements including my gluten-free requirements at all hours of the day (or night). I wouldn't stop here though unless directly targeting either McDonald's or LEON as there is much better along the M1. 3*

However, this is a review for their meeting rooms. There are a range of meeting rooms available for hire. I use the therapy rooms which are inviting and neutrally decorated. The rooms are in a quiet location at the rear of the building whilst being well heated so your clients will be comfortably warm. The toilets are also clean, well maintained and conveniently positioned within the building. Booking is easy and takes a quick telephone call. There is an inviting reception area with seating and welcoming staff to greet your clients.

I couldn't speak highly enough of my recent experience with ABC in Walsall. Whilst I have been away…read morein hospital and in recovery I wanted a full deep clean of most of my home (which also had some extra requirements and 3rd party specialist involvement so it was a fair size project, which also needed to be done at pretty short notice) - they took the project on, professionally assessed what needed to be done, identified my needs well, and despite being busy with other jobs too, fitted my project in according to a timescale and cost agreed before they commenced work. They are a brilliant, flexible, friendly team who went "above and beyond" to help me out and fulfill my requirements, keeping in contact throughout the course of the job and making sure I was happy with progress along the way. I would absolutely recommend them to anybody, without question. 10/10 to Jim and the team from me :-)

I used to attend the centre to take my greyhound Tom to dog training classes, the less said about that experience the better. What impressed me was the amount of activities which appeared to be taking place here with the notice board indicating all manner of communal activities scheduled to take place. Whilst the decor itself could do with updating the purpose of the centre is an inherently good one and it is a lead which more local communities should follow.

For several years, I walked past the Watch Workshop on the High Street in Solihull, and every time…read moreI passed I always wondered, 'what could that shop be?' Of course, this is a massive lie, as the Watch Workshop does exactly what it says on the tin. As well as doing watch repair work, they also do the expected extras, such as selling straps, and have a very nice display of them all to ensure that you get exactly what you're after. They do a range of repair works, including battery replacements and resealing on divers watches (very handy, as it's often tough to find places able to do that), and all repairs come with a year long guaranteed. The staff are friendly and clearly know their stuff, which I always consider to be a good barometer of the quality of specialist shops such as watch fixers. Highly recommended.

But there is a fine line between a certain ambience and outright squalor (take for instance the rehearsal complex in Birmingham I once visited which had a dead pigeon rotting in an open lift shaft and holes in the stairs. No such problems at Hockley Street Studios, which is neither soullessly spotless or seriously dilapidated. I've been using rehearsal spaces in and around Birmingham for about 14 years and Hockley Street Studios is the one I've used the most over the last 8 years and have rented a lock-up there for the last two and a half years. All the staff are friendly and are themselves musicians. It's the kind of place where they soon get to know you. Rehearsal spaces can get expensive but this studio has a small room which can be rented for £5 an hour. The amps and PAs in the by-the-hour rooms work, there's a free pool table and there's no holes in the stairs. My one minor quibble is they rarely sell single strings, which is a pain in the backside if, like me, you're always snapping your high E

This amount is reduced is you share your lockup. There are drinks and snacks available, a free pool table and a lounge to hang in and the studios put on a number of parties throughout the year. Recommendation - Room 19 is the room to use for rehearsals!
