I went there with my lower back pain after my GP told me that there is not much he can do for me. The pain was better after 2nd treatment, now I continue going once a month to maintain it as my work is quite demanding and involves lot of standing and lifting heavy things. the best thing about them is that they are cheaper than any other acupuncture clinic in Wimbledon, Raynes Park or Tooting and still registered with British acupuncture council so you know you are in good hands, that was as important as the cost for me.I went there with my lower back pain after my GP told me that there is not much he can do for me.

Always seems to be heaving, remember to book a table before you venture out.

The food is great, not fantastic! Better than average though. The decor is lovely, I like it that it is modern, sometime the old Indian decors can look very outdated.

The staff are ftriendly and efficient. They didn't have a table and wanted us to sit in some little table that was along the corrider, the table should not have even been there, this is why the score is lower.

The menu is good, but some of it a bit over priced. It seems that if you want good food these days, you have to pay quite a bit more to get it, which is a pity. as we like to dine out...

Anyhow, a good place to eat out. No music, a bit loud, and packed but it was Saturday night. I would definately go again! :)Always seems to be heaving, remember to book a table before you venture out.

Indian Gossip holds a beautiful decor, we thought we try it out and if we like we would make a group booking for our anniversary dinner. Well, looks can be deceiving as we all know.

It was Sunday evening and the restaurant was completely empty a part from one very quiet family. We were approached by what seems like the manager or owner of the restaurant. He took our drinks order in a cold, humourless, efficient manner, a few drinks were unable due to so called mad rush of customers they had the night before. Wine was overpriced and so was the Port my friend found.

Our meals came and one of the guys ordered a mixed grill, it was particularly small. The food was tasted okay, if you are into your food like I am and I have a mum who can cook the best Asian food, I know when I am eating GOOD Indian food. Pity, it wasnâ¬"t! We wonâ¬"t be going there again, and I definitely wonâ¬"t be holding my anniversary dinner there.

L'Olive Restaurant - Needs someone experienced in charge by susan

L'Olive could be good, but there are problems to sort out before they can justify their prices. The small restaurant looks stylish, and the young staff are willing, though handicapped by language difficulties. They made several mistakes with our order, and similar problems happened with two other couples while we were there. I saw one man at another table get up with a sigh and take the cutlery from an empty table so that he could eat his meal. The prices are too high for the level of service - starters around Â£7-8, main courses Â£15-22, desserts and cheese around Â£7.50 each. The actual food was good when it arrived, but the service and timing need to be much better before they can charge these kind of West End prices in a South London suburb. I'd say the food is French-influenced, not classic French.L'Olive could be good, but there are problems to sort out before they can justify their prices.

I had my Renault MOT'd here, and 30 miles later, the brakes slammed on and wouldn't release. The AA technician said that they should have been checked for the MOT. If they had been tested, they would have failed.

I took the car back to them, and they said it wasn't covered in any way, as it had been driven too much since the MOT - 2 DAYS!!!

After a lot of messing around, they eventually agreed to fix the brakes. After charging in full, the brakes are now noisy. Very noisy.
I told them about the noise, and they just said it was normal. Refused to help in any way.

It's been several months now, and the brakes are still noisy as hell.

Avoid them if you can!I had my Renault MOT'd here, and 30 miles later, the brakes slammed on and wouldn't release. The AA technician said that they should have been checked for the MOT. If they had been tested, they would have failed.

it was recommended go to this restaurant from a friend, and a keen love of thai cuisine, however, it was probably the worst thai meal i have ever had, to the point that i felt the need to write this review, i have never felt the need to write a review before!.

Firstly they had forgotten my booking, the restuarant was only half full but it took ages to even be given menu's.
The food was rediculously over priced for what it was.
The food also was very average, we had to send the sticky rice back as it was truely not edible.

There was very little vegetarian options and we had to specially ask for this.

overall, bad food, bad service, over priced. But maybe wimbledon types like getting exploited.it was recommended go to this restaurant from a friend, and a keen love of thai cuisine, however, it was probably the worst thai meal i have ever had, to the point that i felt the need to write this review, i have never felt the need to write a review before!.

A long way from being a London Gastropub, but if you seek the look and feel of a Country Pub, a little old and crumbling with character, reasonable food and beer, dog friendly and free wifi, set in the heart of Wimbledon Common, then the Fox and Grapes is well worth a visit.A long way from being a London Gastropub, but if you seek the look and feel of a Country Pub, a little old and crumbling with character, reasonable food and beer, dog friendly and free wifi, set in the heart of Wimbledon Common, then the Fox and Grapes is well worth a visit.

Berties Wine Bar - Berties - for the cheeky pint before or after ... by jamesfrankfurt

Berties is a small and easy going pub. Depending on the day you will find quite a mixed crowed in there â¬ always good for a cheeky pint before heading out on the weekends or a quick one before heading home. Under the week it is more laid back.

They server various lagers and wines. Since they are downstairs / under the â¬SPrince of Walesâ¬ the crowd for the classic pub is upstairs, hich is quite nice (staff seems to be shared).

Service really depends on what you are expecting, but they will be able to give you the right drinks you order at the bar. Friendliness depends a bit on who you get but overall I have nothing to complain about.

My husband and I went to Lydon's in Wimbledon Village on the 28 February 2009; on arrival the staff were friendly, approachable and far too enthusiastic to seat us by the door!! We asked to be moved and we were. Once seated, we were given the run down of the specials, they all sounded lovely, although, the waitress was very fast speaking and it was hard to understand what was what. After browsing over the main menu and not fancying anything on it, I listened to her speak again to the table opposite, I caught her explain the FISH option and ordered the Sea Bass, when it eventually arrived it wasn't the best I had ever tasted (slightly dry, although good size and accompaniments) My husband ordered the FILLET STEAK, which he asked for medium, for this type of restaurant, especially being from the grill you would expect it to be exactly that, unfortunately it wasnâ¬"t, the outside was medium but the middle was still very RARE. We were not asked if everything was to our satisfaction, nor would we have probably disagreed at the time. The wine selection was however good (although at a premium) but the ambience felt slightly forced. Good Restaurant, good food, however, please do not expect a top London restaurant in Wimbledon village, although the price may suggest otherwise.My husband and I went to Lydon's in Wimbledon Village on the 28 February 2009; on arrival the staff were friendly, approachable and far too enthusiastic to seat us by the door!!

Fantastic meat. The sausages, bacon and black pudding in my full English breakfast sorted out the remnant of the Saturday night excesses.

Our group had all kinds of things from soup to eggs benedict, but I felt pretty smug with my full English. It was a struggle to leave without spending a fortune on raw meat in the butcher's shop that you walk through to get from the street to the restaurant.

Highly recommended.Fantastic meat. The sausages, bacon and black pudding in my full English breakfast sorted out the remnant of the Saturday night excesses.
