Hannah's in a great hangout. The drinks are averagely priced and the food surprisingly cheap. There's often live music there which is always fun and it's always packed at weekends with some great DJs. The best bit is a summer evening upstairs with a glass of wine: the room is all glass with a removable roof - bliss!Hannah's in a great hangout.

Egg is brilliant - cheap, wholesome food, kitsch, chilled atmopshere with great music and the opportunity to BYOB - what more could you want! Really worth a visit - it's a cute little hideaway to hang out with friends or just chill out yourself with a good book and a glass of vino.

first floor was surprisingly great for clothes, and when you've blown your loan in freshers week lewiss is a cool place to get some stuff for a bargain without having to trawl around liverpool one wishing you could afford to shop there.first floor was surprisingly great for clothes, and when you've blown your loan in freshers week lewiss is a cool place to get some stuff for a bargain without having to trawl around liverpool one wishing you could afford to shop there.

I think there has been a takeover since the last review.
I ordered a cheese filled chicken wrapped in bacon, but the cheese had gone awol - no sign of any cheese at all. It did, however, come with tomato sauce, although no mention of this on the menu.The carrots were cold.I had half a dozen peas on my plate - I think they arrived via the green beans and were put on by mistake.The fruit crumble appeared and tasted of crumbled digestive biscuits mixed with sugar.My fellow diner ordered a curry which was served in a bowl - it was hot, but watery and thin.A spoon would have been more appropriate than a knife and fork.The service with a smile was definately missing.We did eat here fairly regularly as it is local, but will restrict ourselves to drinks only in future.The pub itself is lovely.

taken from a review from Qype:
This Chinese Supermarket is located close to China Town in Liverpoolâ¬"s City Centre - but a little difficult to find if your not familiar with the area.

Itâ¬"s a fairly large Supermarket selling a huge variety of authentic Chinese & Asian Food. You can spend hours here just wandering around looking at the strange and exotic offerings. Itâ¬"s looks kind of like a Wholesale Cash and Carry, a bit rough around the edges and devoid of the usual Supermarket bright lights and shiny floorsâ¬¦ but I think it makes the whole experience a little more enjoyable.

The Supermarket sells everything required to make a delicious and authentic Chinese or Thai meal, from fragrent Spices, rice, noodles, fresh Vegetables and even frozen ready made meals.

They also have a section of the store dedicated to Kitchen & Cooking Equipment and its a great place to pick up cheap bamboo steamers, chopsticks or professional rice cookers at a fraction of the cost. I cant stress how cheap it it, last time I picked up a Bamboo Steamer for just Â£1.50!! you cant beat it.

This is a great supermarket for wannabee Chefs to get some inspiration or to stock up on store cupboard essentials that are difficult to find (or too expensive) in your standard supermarket.

I also like to go in just before Christmas to do some Christmas Shopping, I often buy a few different products to make up an Interesting food Hamper to give as a Gift, it always goes down well with the recipients.

Terrible care terrible cuts! I asked for my dog to be cut short, they shaved him and left him strippy! not only that they cut his ear! I will have to take him to the vets now to check everything is ok! DONT GO THERE! I will be reading reviews next time. He was whinning really badly when I went to pick him up too, not surprisingly, these people are ment to be professionals! You trust them to care for your dog, as said above, all they do is butcher them!Terrible care terrible cuts!

As a regular visit to Liverpool, I like going here for something to eat, as I always enjoy what I have from the menu.
It does good food and although it's a bit on the expensive side, (probably because it has turned into one of these trendy wine bars!) it would not put me off going back here again.As a regular visit to Liverpool, I like going here for something to eat, as I always enjoy what I have from the menu.

It was my sister's 21st recently so the family went out for a big birthday lunch. Host fitted the bill, a nice mix of different oriental food in a comfortable, laid-back restaurant. I don't usually go for asian fusion but this place has got the blend just right.....elegant looking dishes combined with the full flavours of asian food.

Most of us went for a starter and a main so I got to see a lot of the dishes. Me and keith shared the slow roast pork belly, duck dumplings and beef teriyaki with kimchi as starters and then I had a seafood yellow curry with rice. Keith had the coley which was a special (coley main with a bottle of asahi - Â£7.95) in a vietnamese sweet and chilli sauce and greens.

The pork belly and asian slaw was fine although I expected the pork to be more tender, it looked like it had just been pan-fried on both sides rather than slow roasted. The flavour of the dumplings were perfect but there could have been more filling. The kimchi accompaniment turned out to be cabbage with some chilli on it rather than the proper korean type.

The fish in my curry were perfectly cooked, so moist in a sweetish curry sauce. I loved the concept of Keith's dish....lightly battered fish with oriental greens and a tangy spicy sauce. The sauce was really tasty, the only problem was that it was so blow-your-head-off spicy. I mean, I was on a table with some of my cousins who I know can eat super spicy food but even they were having problems with it!

Don't go for any of the ramens. Both of the people who had it couldn't finish it. I didn't try it myself but they said the soup wasn't very good.

I would definitely visit Host again when I'm in the city.It was my sister's 21st recently so the family went out for a big birthday lunch.

PLEASE READ THIS DONT GO. Possibly the worst meal I have ever had.

When we got there it was a very nice place, then I ordered lemonade and orange my lemonade was flat so I thought never mind.

The starter was very nice but there was no oils on the table only salt and pepper. We then ordered chargrilled lamb chops and the kleftika lamb on the bone.

we got 6 lamb chops with a slice of lemon and the kleftika was like a cheap tin of chopped tomato with herb had been poured over the top (2 spoonfuls) served with a slice of lemon.

Then came our rice and chips about 20 chips and a cupful of rice ( no greek roast potatoes ?)after finishing and still hungry we paid Â£38 and nobody asked if we enjoyed our meal.

I hope nobody tries to copy this restaurant and would never go there again it would put you off eating greek food for life.PLEASE READ THIS DONT GO. Possibly the worst meal I have ever had.

The best restaurant in Formby by a mile.

Quite simply, they know what they're doing.

Whether it's a quick pasta or a full on 3 course celebration meal, you can't go wrong with Don Luigi.The best restaurant in Formby by a mile.

This could be a really good pub, there's a good mix of people in there and the room itself is nice with the central bar.

The problem, I think, lies with the management. It would appear they have let things slide, from the stinking toilets to the inedible food (I had stuffed chicken in there last week which was literally rock hard, the type of dryness that can only be achieved by too much microwaving).

It's usually a hassle to get served, draught lagers and beers are often unavailable, and tables are left heaving with soiled plates and empty glasses.This could be a really good pub, there's a good mix of people in there and the room itself is nice with the central bar.
