There is a large free car park here where you can sit in your car with a hot drink looking across the view on a hot day. The food available is not fancy but perfect for after a walk, ie bacon rolls, chips, bugers. There is a range of hot and cold drinks and I am personally rather fond of the hot chocolate topped with foamy cream!! In the summer we normally opt for ice creams and they actually stayed open an extra couple of minutes one day to serve us as we arrived at closing time. Can get quite busy at peak times and this is a very popular spot for bikers though the clientele varies, from families both young and old, dog walkers and horse riders!

Decent quality food, and great value for money if you stick to sandwiches (sliced bread)…read more Their menu is too flexible though, and even if being able to combine just about anything is cool (pineapple, ham and celery anyone?), it does fail miserably by not giving you a selection of tasteful ready-made sandwiches (for those without the ingredient-combining gene), and is quite a challenge to add up every day.

Okay yelpers, I need your help!…read more I have had crussh's sushi before and been pretty unimpressed. But then I forget...and several months later, when I have a sushi craving, I try it again. Argh!! Please yelp folks, if you ever see me entering crush, please scream "JOSY, DON'T GET THE SUSHI!!" to help me to remember not to be a waste-of-money-terrible-sushi-buying-idiot. My veggy sushi today was particularly bad. The rice was tesco-sushi-esque, so hard and with a slightly strange flavour. There were peas mixed with the edamame(!?) and the egg was super-sweet and more like a fluffy sponge than an omelette. The inari sushi wasn't bad- apart from the rice. Also I wasn't remotely filled up by the measly 6 bits of sushi and a little salad for £5.20. Crussh might be good for smoothies and meatballs, but just don't let me ever buy their sushi!! Thank you yelpers. I appreciate your assistance.

Love my Crusshberry Blast!…read more It always came out pretty fast here, which I appreciated. Unlike other smoothie places I've experienced (especially back in the US), most of theses smoothies aren't filled with froyo or sherbet.

Mark and his team are…read moreattentive, willing to go the extra mile to make things brilliant, and perhaps most importantly for a catering company, the FOOD IS FANTASTIC. We had several comments (and I believe it was actually mentioned in one of the speeches) that this was the best wedding food our guests have every experienced. I would take that further and say this was food I would happily pay for in a nice restaurant; which isn't a claim one would make about even the best of wedding food much of the time. Working with Mark was easy and fun. I don't know that I'm likely to have other big events that require catering any time soon, but if I did, I'd call these guys and you should too!

OK ... so let's get this started and say that while the review is for Club Rafiki, this venue…read moreceased to trade under that name a little while ago. This is now The Spice Lounge! That in itself is not as confusing as the fact that within 200 yards is a takeaway by the very same name and they are no relation to each other. So this review is for the Spice Lounge . I am very much an afficionado of good Indian/Pakistani cuisine and it usually takes a restaurant of some calibre to offset the bland mediocre curry-by-numbers offerings of most restaurants and take-aways. Some do it by specialising in a particular regions cuisine or creating fusions. Others do it by just serving good and very tasty food. This one falls into the latter category. Let's face it, the area has a wealth of competition as there are numerous Indian restaurants and take-aways within spitting distance of this place and it hardly exudes a welcome from the outside. It still retains it's 'club' feel but you get a feeling that something is going right when the clientele is predominantly Indian/Pakistani but also business oriented. This can feel a little intimidating but taking the chance reveals just why they are there. The staff are very welcoming, friendly efficient and attentive. They can err on the side of too attentive at times but that is not necessarily a fault. The food is what sets this place apart. Our starters, which were seafood and vegetables spiced beautifully, were cooked to perfection and so tasty it was a temptation to forego the main course and order another plate. Succulent, not too greasy and perfectly spiced so that the vegetable and prawn textures were not drowned. Delicious. Having been spoilt by the starters I felt sure that they couldn't keep up the standard. However a Goan Fish Curry was on the menu and I hadn't eaten a good Goan dish since I had last been in Goa! I was not disappointed at all and really enjoyed the meal. It was clear that the ingredients were fresh, of excellent quality and cooked really well. The restaurant itself has been laid out in rows of tables, a bar along one wall and the rest of the restaurant space reserved for customers. Owing to the intense sun, the blinds were closed to the high street giving a rather lovely dimmed atmosphere but usually the blinds are open. At one end of the restaurant is, rather bizarrely, a television that shows B4U which shows it's 'Club' origins. Unfortunately our table was right near the TV but the volume was down low enough for conversation to occur without strain. However the content of the channel was a source of amazement and amusement during the meal. The downside of this is that the restaurant is not cheap. Even given the quality of food the place does have equally good quality competition that is not quite as pricey. The menu isn't hugely diverse but that is absolutely to its benefit. Reducing the amount of dishes required to be cooked increases the quality as the chef can concentrate on making the best of them rather than a mediocre smattering of all. This is a restaurant that I shall go to when I want to impress, when I am willing to pay the price for somewhere locally that has an upmarket atmosphere and high quality food. In short, I will certainly be back

So, I'm really keen to see what the fuss is about. Opted for the bacon cheeseburger which was huge, and at 7 quid, not too bad at all with its 8 hour bacon and Jack Daniel's jam! Overall, I was slightly disappointed. It's a good burger don't get me wrong, but the meat was a bit meh and it lacked any real punch aside from the jam, which personally I found slightly too sweet for a burger. My friend said that on this occasion, due to new team members, the burger wasnt as good as it usually is, so for now, 3 stars. It was good enough to want me to come back, but they need to impress!

They use high quality meat, the patties are formed fresh rather than being pre-formed pucks, and are grilled to juicy, sloppy perfection while you wait.

We chose a room that did not face the river because it had less traffic noise and was quieter. Put your hotel key card in a reader by the door to switch on the electrical equipment. The room had a good kettle and selection of tea/coffee but was somewhat cramped. To reach the bathroom, I had to twist my shoulders to walk through the small space between the bed and the wall. At six feet tall, I am not the biggest guest! There was no free coffee downstairs, but the bar made me a coffee for four pounds. No guest laundry, but guests can send their laundry out for cleaning. We saw other people charging their electric vehicles at the 40-kW chargers outside the hotel in the driveway. There was always at least one charger available.

It appears on…read moreGoole Maps as Holiday Inn Wedding Venue, so I'm not sure if this particular hotel is being marketed specifically as a wedding venue. Trying to be polite, this Holiday Inn isn't like a Holiday Inn. It has a very futuristic design and must be one of the newest hotels in this chain. The interior is in good repair and the modern feel extends to the decor inside as well. The room we were in had some very chic light fittings and ceiling uplighters. The toilets had automatic fittings and the Dyson Airblade to dry your hands. The event ran smoothly with the staff efficiently blending into the background but there to facilitate matters as and when necessary. The room was a good size and the dancefloor was big enough to accommodate the revellers as they strutted their stuff. Overall, it was a nice venue for the reception.
