Fantastic service. The team ordered in some specialist tap shoes for me, arrived in a few days and…read morethey had thoughtfully even ordered the size above and below, super helpful as I ended up needing the bigger size. Discount given for being with a local dance school as well - absolutely brilliant could not recommend highly enough.

Swanson Sports stocks sports ware galore, so if you are a sporty type then this is one for you…read more Most of their goods are designed particularly for childrens sports and social clubs and they can also order in items for you. I used to pop in here for my dancing uniform for a ballet class I used to go to when I was little. I secretly hated it but made my mum take me as you got a given a lolly pop after every class. I knew if I could stick out that hour lesson full of plies and some fondus the lolly pop would be my light at the end of the tunnel. How easily amused you are when you're young. I used to also get my Brownies and Guide uniforms here. Passing it now it doesn't look like it's changed much and kind of looks like it's stuck in some kind of 80's time warp. It still does the job though.

Bellman's Bar is fairly standard of the kind of pub you'd expect to find in it's location, although…read moreit's set apart from the rest by it's larger size and the availability of pool and darts. I entered around lunchtime on a fairly muggy weekday morning in order to get a cup of coffee. Coffee in a pub? Well, the sign outside certainly said so. Yet when enquiring what was types were on offer, the barman looked at me blankly and simply stated: "erm, black and white?"... Fair enough, I thought. There's too much pretentiousness present in coffee shops these days, too much of a move from simplicity. After ordering a white coffee, it came shortly after. I sat down in one of the numerous sofas present by the windows of the bar and looked at the food menu. The food on offer seemed quite good, all the usual pub grub favourites such as steak and ale pie and haddock and chips. I observed a couple of families that were sat to lunch, and their orders looked very appetising. The food pricing was fairly standard. However, my coffee left a lot to be desired. You can taste it had been made with whitener rather than milk, and I felt that it was quite a small cup for the £1.25 I had paid. To be honest, I felt the advert for teas and coffees outside was a bit unjustified. The drinks prices, however, seemed a lot more reasonable, and I noticed that there was an offer on various pints including Tennent's and Belhaven Best for £2.40 from Monday through to Thursday. Overall, a fairly standard, old fashioned pub where what you see is what you get.

A lovely little shop with everything you need for needlework. I visited this shop attempting to…read morefind a gift for someone. I didnt really know what I was looking for but the shop assistant was very helpful and accommodating. Despite being an older lady she was quite happy to run up and down ladders retrieving products for me to have a look at. The shop was very well laid out despite its small size and awkward dimensions. Needlework isnt something that I am personally interested but I easily found the perfect gift and a look around the shop certainly captured my imagination. If I was looking for similar goods in the future this would be the first place I would visit.
