👍👍 If you're a fan of craft beer, then you need to check out Jars bar & Craft Beer Shop. The selection is amazing, and Roman is a great guy who is always happy to help you find the perfect beer. I highly recommend this shop if you're looking for something a little bit different.🔥

👍 Nice little soft play, my Son had a great time! Only thing I would mention is, I didn't get the feeling anyone was really running the place, there was a very friendly lady working in the cafe area but I had to go up to her and mention that I had not paid yet, not a negative but thought I would menti...

Pan-Asian restaurant
👍👍 Really nice flavors and attention to detail. It took about 12 mins to get our food due to a lot of deliveries but the staff were really nice and apologized for taking longer than the 7 minutes they had promised. But to be honest 12 minutes was still very quick and the wait was totally worth it. It m...

Real estate agency
😠 They had an amazing agent in the lettings team in Zara that did an amzing job for 2 years sadly after she left in 2021 or so and I stayed loyal to the company and what a mistake it was! In simple terms they have a huge turnover in employees so they are completely clueless as to what needs to be done...

👍👍 Fantastic food always cooked fresh. The flavours are rich and authentic, and prices are very reasonable. In addition, portion sizes (especially for pasta) are very generous, and do not leave you wanting. We have an Eatalian at least once a fortnight, its so good!

Lucky Fish Bar
Restaurant
👍 Run by a friendly and kind husband and wife team, this fish & chip shop sells great food. The fish in batter is always crisp and tasty, whilst the chips are delicious, as are the mushy peas. Fish and chip shops are disappearing, so go visit and don't let this one disappear too.
