The Woodman Pinner

Pub

👍👍 The team here go above and beyond to make sure your meal and experience is perfect. We came in today with our autistic daughter and family and although there wasn’t anything on the menu that suited our daughter (she’s very very fussy) the owner was more than happy for us to bring our own food in fo...

Two Trees Micro

Pub

👍👍 Absolutely wonderful little place serving and supporting local breweries with craft and real ale in a friendly and welcoming environment where you are bound to end up talking to someone. New ales most weeks. A proper welcoming local, and not at all clicky.

Apollo Activities Centre

Recreation center

👍👍 I tried to review this on facebook but would allow me for whatever reason so I thought here would be the next best thing! We decided to try out this archery during social distancing times as it's open air and very easy to keep our distance. This is a great activity regardless to try at any time of...

The Three Wishes

Pub

👍👍 Only been there twice. The first time was for Enda Mulloy's first solo single release, the second time, Enda kidnapped me... (it is his local).

The Three Wishes

Pub

😠 My friends and I (all aged 20/21) planned to go to this pub as part of our Christmas pub crawl, but as soon as we walked in and a couple of us went to the toilet (the others all went to sit down at a table) we were shouted at by staff and made to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Five of our group -...

Hudson Place

Wine bar

👍👍 Not only a beautiful building full of charm but Lisa and team provide a lovely personal service. Tried out the Barbie brunch with beautiful cocktails and grazing boards. All delish, great value especially for decent cocktails rather than the other versions that are quite radioactive 👀 Highly recomm...
