Ribbands Notting Hill (closed), Notting Hill (Bar / Restaurant)
“This place really is a jewel. Value for money is putting it mildly. Food fantastic, staff very friendly and polite. My fiancee and myself wiled 3 blissful hours here. We were amazed at the bill when it arrived, very reasonable for the great service recieved and also in view of the gastronomic delights we sampled. We definitely will be back here!”

The Magdala, Hampstead (Bar)
“Lovely grub, people slightly pretentious. Then what would you expect from the Hampstead Hillbilly set. Ha Ha. Its like the OC in here only cloudier. Did you know the late Ruth Elliss used to come here with David Blakely. She was the last woman to be hung in Britain, and he was her paramour. Tsk Tsk.”

Plumbers Arms, Victoria (Bar)
“Pleasant pub. Food and drink good, and a nice little ambience. The Plumbers Arms is just down the road from Lord Lucan`s previous gaff and around the corner from maggie thatchers in Chester square. Staff really nice and friendly. Chocca bloc though on a Friday after work with all the usual suspects from Victoria!”

Star Tavern, Belgravia (Bar)
“Pretentious to say the least, the staff have delusions of granduer, and are quite obnoxious. Food and drink certainly not to the standard of Belgravia. Spotted Joan Collins in there though we think, enjoying a glass of Pinot grig. And she looked positively stunnning.”

Balls Brothers (closed), St James (Restaurant)
“Alright if you like bland. I felt it was like a grown up Burger King, with the ambience of a marta hari`s love den. Copius amount of waiters and waitresses running around in a state of pandemonium. Our order was late, cold and served with the finesse of galloping buffalow on pro plus.”

“Oh my god! what a place. Haunt of the stars? More like the haunting. Shocking prices, shocking decor and most of all babycakes shocking night. Staff okay though!”

The Coburg Bar, Mayfair (Bar / Hotel)
“Very high class, with a twist of fun. Everyone made you feel like a somebody with no snobby overtones it has to be said. Food quite nice, but prices extortionate, still its worth it to give my great great granny a treat!”

Quebec, Marylebone (Bar)
“Very friendly bar staff, quick to serve, not standing around preening as in other bars, which seems to be the current trend in other less conducive places. Good atmosphere, as I visisted Quebec on a Monday evening, when Karaoke was in full flow. Almost like being in your local.”

The Queen Vic, Stratford (Bar)
“Loved slumming in here it was a good laugh. Party Party Party. Some old bird had popped her clogs and I believe they were holding her funeral party there. Pauline was her name. I seem to remember one of her bri nylon cardies draped over a chair as a tribute. Ah bless.”

Apartment 195, Chelsea (Bar)
“Loved Loved Loved this place, so classy and stylish it hurts. Beautiful people everywhere, but at the same time not necking or french kissing mirrors. Really lovely staff everywhere, they made you feel more than welcome, no snob value here, but at the same time had the same approach to all. Definetly would recommend this little piece of paradise. I was staying at the Sloane square hotel and this was a fab little bolthole to start the night with a swing!”

All Bar One, West End (Bar)
“Hopeless here, it was a killer to get served, and basically staff were extremely rude. Despite tipping a few quite generously, they stood around looking quite vacant, and in need of a personality transplant. Here's a tip, sack 'em all and take on some immigrants.”
