As a journalist and food critic for a number of publications, I am often asked to review resturaunts ranging from the most ingenuitive in cultural combination to more traditional fast food outlets. When I had the misfortune to enter this particular kebab shop, I was on my own time after a busy day doing paperwork and research and craved something that would keep me going for a while. What I got was a small, greasy looking man who tried to 'chat me up' whilst looking down my top and a ill-flavoured kebab. The food was as greasy as the service and lacked enough taste to be worth the following dodgy tummy. I feel that even offering one star is too generous in this situation. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!As a journalist and food critic for a number of publications, I am often asked to review resturaunts ranging from the most ingenuitive in cultural combination to more traditional fast food outlets.

well, I don't know why I'm writing this review, mainly because I'm bored, anyway, we all know what pizza hut is like.
its mediocre pizza for a good price, with tasty nachos wedges and BBQ sauce.
But it IS good, no matter how commmercial, bad for you, busineess destroying it is, its still tasty.
I would definately recommend the vegetarian, which is loaded with vegetables, and I would recommend adding olives.
Most meals come with a free 2 litre bottle of fizzy drink. I would recommend the potato wedges which are extremely tasty with BBQ sauce.
All in all, bargain food for a bargain price, the kind of place you go to when you cant be bothered to cookwell, I don't know why I'm writing this review, mainly because I'm bored, anyway, we all know what pizza hut is like.

Wok Express - I like this place by larkin

Review by larkin

Rating: 4.00I go to Wok Express alot for a take away.
Their food is very good, lots of tasty dishes, and all the noodle dishes are fantastic. They offer a variety of dishes from noodles to duck to prawn balls.
Nice tasty sweet and sour dip.
I have to say that their dishes arent exactly authentic, but thats not what this place is about. its about fast delivery and good grub at bargain prices, and on all of those aspects they deliver.
Also, like all chinese restaurants, you get free prawn crackers and free delivery.
I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a quick decent meal.I go to Wok Express alot for a take away.

Le Querce is just want you want from a local restaurant. Unpretentious, friendly, reasonably priced and excellent food. I have never eaten here and not been impressed by the quality and variety of the food. It seems to be run and staffed by an extended, entirely Italian family who always make you feel welcome and valued. The menu is, thankfully, not a huge list of the tired old trattoria standards but short and inventive and is always complimented with excellent daily specials. As well as a short desert menu they offer a wide and very, very interesting choice of home made ice creams and sorbets. Service is (putting it politely) relaxed, don't expect to pop in for a quick bite. The positive side of this is that you can take as long as you like over your meal without feeling as though they are waiting for you to leave. Since I first ate there I haven't bothered looking for anywhere else to dine out locally, I'm that happy with the place. I can't recommend it highly enough.Le Querce is just want you want from a local restaurant. Unpretentious, friendly, reasonably priced and excellent food.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the previous reviewer. I went to Babur a couple of weeks ago. The decor is nice and staff are very helpful and attentive but the food is not up to the mark. All the dishes taste of flour and sugar, like cakes rather than curry! Not what I was expecting. I wouldn't go back which is a shame because they're obviously trying hard.
