A well respected local curry house. Prices average for the area and good quality food from a wide ranging menu. Delivery can sometimes take a while due to its popularity but worth the wait. I eat from here regularly and have never had cause to complain.A well respected local curry house. Prices average for the area and good quality food from a wide ranging menu.

This is like a mini supermarket version of Tesco. They sell the majority of basic items you would need on your weekly shop so useful if for any reason you can't make the main shop. I use this shop all the time for top ups such as milk and bread and usually end up buyingmore besides. They stock fresh fruit and veg which is handy. They do lack a fresh bakery area which is a shame but theu couldn't fit one in if they wanted to. The downside of shopping here is that it is often busy and always heaving on a Sunday afternoon so you have no chance of parking and queues of cars tail out the car park! The staff are ok, not very friendly but they do their job! They still accept your club card and they still do offers such as 2 for.... or Buy one, get one free.This is like a mini supermarket version of Tesco.

I love this shop. In a nutshell it sells chocolate and sweets, big deal, but there is more to it than that. It is definitely superior chocolate and loads of choices. You feel very indulgent and spolit shopping in here. The whole place is very classy and special. They sell choccies for every occasion and always have new appropriate items for each forthcoming occasion such as Xmas, Halloween, Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day etc. The staff are always approachable. I often buy a small bar or bag of something to go with a main prezzie or gift voucher for a friend or family member's birthday, it just adds a special touch. My favourites are their chocolate raisins and vanilla fudge. They have lovely choc bars for small children. They ice a message or name on large chocolate items for free and also provide a gift wrap service, they even do wedding favours!I love this shop.

What an appropriate name for this little jem of a shop in the touristy area of Poole Quay. It is a quaint, well dressed shop that is clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. This little shop sells loads of varieties of yummy treats and sweets, like in the older days! Reminds me of the sweetie shop in the Willy Wonka film! Sweets can be bought by the quarter or pre-bagged. They sell fudge to die for, which is priced per weight and freshly made. The choices are endless and it akes forever to decide what to go for, they do your usual rum and raisin/clotted cream fudge but also flavours like maltesers and other fattening types, great for a treat or pick me up, souvenir or gift. They even do parties which I went to last Xmas selling alot of fab gifts from stocking fillers to lavish and pricey goods. Well worth a visit if you are in town!What an appropriate name for this little jem of a shop in the touristy area of Poole Quay. It is a quaint, well dressed shop that is clean.

Being in the middle of a shopping centre, this is a good place to come when in need of a quick snack.

They serve pasties, pies, both hot or cold. The sausage rolls in particular are very tasty - I would recommend. They also have cakes, muffins, brownies and cold drinks.

While the range is very good, I have on occasion gone in to find that much of the food is gone - they should make more of an effort to keep the food refilled.

The prices are competitive and I have no complaints there.

The service, though, is average. The staff are usually grumpy, and sound like they would rather not be there.

Overall, if you need a quick snack to keep you going, this is a good place to come.Being in the middle of a shopping centre, this is a good place to come when in need of a quick snack.
