Whenever you look for chicken these days with chips the price you are going to find is going to be nearly 3 pounds.

Here they do a stunning offer of getting chicken with chips for only 1.50 yes just 1.50 the food here is really good for value.

Their chicken is really good to eat,its made different to other takeaways.Their chips are not the best,they made fat chips they do not make fries.

They are worth eating at because of their good price and good food.Whenever you look for chicken these days with chips the price you are going to find is going to be nearly 3 pounds.

I canâ¬"t believe it! Its gone for good! How DARE the landlord case the demise of such a wonderful restaurant! Sabras was absolutely fantastic and one of my favourite Indian restaurants. They were masters of vegetarian cuisine and a friend of mine will literally consider suicide as a result of their closure! I always found the husband and wife team to be a unique experience, I just hope (and pray) they set up somewhere close by and let us all know of their new venue! The food here was such good value for money â¬ if the owners read this, please please tell us if you reopen somewhere else!I canâ¬"t believe it! Its gone for good!

This branch of the American food franchise is located opposite the IKEA the decor is plush and modern as it has just been refitted. Pricing is very good and meal will cost around Â£3 or Â£4 but for the same price if youâ¬"d stayed in IKEA you would have been able to have meatballs and pasta or several hot dogs but it is less of a hassle in McDonalds due to the drive through making it very easy to order an collect food if you are pushed for time and in the car. Basically food you know at decent price. But donâ¬"t blame me for the heart attack.This branch of the American food franchise is located opposite the IKEA the decor is plush and modern as it has just been refitted.

Was taken to this restaurant by some Iranian friends who highly reccommend it. Its not located in a very nice place but the food is very good. The restaurant is made up of a number of rooms, each differently decorated. I didn't manage to have a look around but I was assured by my friends that they are beautifully decorated. The room we sat in was decorated with persian rugs, pots, paintings and tea sets. There was also a caged parrot nearby who whistled whenever the waiters walked past much to the amusement of several children.

We ordered the mixed starters which is worth trying out if you've never had persian food before and have people to share with! As a main I ordered the Chello Kebab Koubideh - skewered lamb with rice, which was very cheap at Â£5! The portions are generous and could easily be shared between two. I could not finish my meal and had to take it home with me. Be careful though, it smells bad when taken away! Everytime I opened my bag, people sniff the air and look at me funny. Don't let that put you off though, it tastes delicious. My only gripe is that the staff were not very pleasant. Great place though!

Rating: 5.00The pub is as you can probably guess from its name a pub that shows live sporting events and games. They have good beer and bar snacks availble. This pub has a big Tv screen to view football and sporting events, such as the Olympics on it. The atmosphere is good, as it is sporting fans who go here to view games and thereisa bit of friednly banter and rivlary going on during these events-but it is all good natured fun. The staff are friendly and good natured. It is very clean and the dcor is good. It is mainly men who frequent this and as it is near a Royal Mail Main sorting office- alot of postmen in uniform are in there.The pub is as you can probably guess from its name a pub that shows live sporting events and games.

This is a shabby pub, in need of refurbishment and updating. The pub was quiet with retired male drinkers. It still smelt of smoke despite the ban!!! I think this may be because it is ingrained in the walls and ceiling as these badly need cleaning and a lick of paint would not go a miss. They do a small selction of bar food-but could not wait to get out of there and would not dream of eating there, judging by the overall hygiene and decor of the place. The pub seemed to be used by a handful of daytine hardened drinkers, who all knew each other and sat around the bar area drinking-it is really not for anyone who is not over 60 and does not want to sit with people who probably have been drinking from when it opened.This is a shabby pub, in need of refurbishment and updating.

This pub is part of the Angies chain I have reviewed another pub from it already and most of the Angies pubs are similar in that they are like traditional Irish pubs with a lively atmosphere and are very welcoming to all. This pub is very small a long corridor style seating area and it does get packed. It has a great atmosphere. Good beer and food is served here. Part of the pubs charm is that it is so small you have to share seating/tables and mix with others and therfore you get to meet new people. The staff are friendly and offer a good quick bar service. You will find good beer, food and compnay at Angies.This pub is part of the Angies chain I have reviewed another pub from it already and most of the Angies pubs are similar in that they are like traditional Irish pubs with a lively atmosphere and are very welcoming to all.

Great prices and quick delivery (by the look of it). Good tasting pizzas, well cooked an packaged. Staff were very busy, but took my order quickly. Large menu of pizzas available on the wall. Some great 2 for 1 offers on take away and even had delivery offers that were a good bit cheaper than other pizza places. Driver seemd to be taking food away for delivery as soon as it was cooked. The place was clean and all the staff washed their hands when preparing food and after it.

This place has a quick service and food is ok. I noticed a lot of women sitting drinking tea of coffee in the place and it was pretty busy, considering this was 11am. It seemed to be a women only type of place. It reminded me of a Wimpey in its decor (plastic tables and chairs), plus the menu was a similar one to them. The food was quickly cooked and brought to our table. Good size portions. As the name sugguests it does a lot of burgers , plus chips. They also do breakfasts all day. The place was clean. but from the outside looked a bit run down in my opinion. They do a good coffee and teas.This place has a quick service and food is ok.

This place is very clean and does a great kebab n chips after a night out. The staff are efficent and quickly cook your food in front of your eyes, so you can check out that they wash their hands and have clean premises. The Kebabs are good and not too greasy (if ever a kebab can be). Mainly a take away, but this has a small seating area at the side. The place is bright and well lit and seems to be very busy, but stff deal with orders very quickly and are friednly and cheerful. People stand around waitinfg for their orders to be cooked, so it is a nice relaxed, good natured atmosphere. I also like their salads, which appear to be very fresh.This place is very clean and does a great kebab n chips after a night out.

This pub used to be more popular in that it had live bands and was packed at weekends. It seems to have become a lot quieter and is more suited to those who want a quiet drink in the afternoons. The decor inside the pub is a bit dull and really could do with a birt of updating or refurbishment or preferably both. The service is good and the staff are very plesant and chatty. The beer is good and their is a good lunchtime food selction. I would recommend it for a quiet lunchtime drink and a good lunchtime meal. Good prices her too.This pub used to be more popular in that it had live bands and was packed at weekends.

This takeawy does great prices. It is clean and tidy and does nicely presented food. it is worth trying if you like spicy food or want tot try caribbean food. The place is clean and well presented, with counters wiped down regualarly in front of my eyes by staff. They have a large menu of traditional caribbean dishes, mainly of West Indian origion. A lot of speciality dishes I have not seen elsewhere are available. It is hard to find a good West Indian takeaway in London and this is a great find as it does do all the tradtional dishes. The staff are pleasant and know a lot about the food they are serving and offer great advise on dishes to try.This takeawy does great prices.

Stripped wood floors, the eclectic images and dark paintwork always gave this pub a very unusual feel. A popular venue for a mix of cultures, including Kiwi's, Aussies and South Africans. It is very relaxed and safe atmosphere.

The interior is very spacious with plenty of tables and and an ample bar. It can be quiet in the week, but Friday and Saturday nights are often very busy as the pub also hosts live music - mostly local bands and emerging talent.
