“Excellent customer service by Darryl today in the Thurrock store. We spent a long time choosing the right table then chairs, Darryl went above and beyond! Even matched the 5% discount we would have got online with our Smartsave app! Highly recommend!”

“The quality of the chair I bought (Humanscale Freedom Task Chair With Headrest) is incredible, I mean it looks like new. Originally promised 7 working day delivery but came within 4 working days so that’s great. I’m grateful for businesses that keep their standards and quality even in this thought time.”

“Had a wonderful experience, amazing service. Maria really listened to my requests and concerns and did a wonderful search to find the best holiday for me and my son to meet all our needs and wants.”

“I went for an afternoon meet up with a friend. Great space if you looking for good food and quite ambience to talk. The pizza was delicious. I also ordered a montenegro and lime cocktail which I found too bitter but the manager was kind enough to change it for me at no added cost.”

“Bistro Laz — Highgate’s cozy Mediterranean‑Turkish bistro with homely charm and hearty flavours. Bistro Laz is located at 1 Highgate West Hill, London N6 6JS, right by the entrance to Waterlow Park.

“Went here after seeing so many other great reviews and was not disappointed. The atmosphere was inviting and service was very quick. The lady who served us (sorry I didn't get your name) was very friendly and seemed so happy when we told her how much we loved the food. I had the Burrata pizza which was flavourful and light, my friends had lasagne, steak and pizza and were all very happy. Would definitely recommend giving it a try!”

“Great food and friendly service with great prices, a must to try if you're in the area. The olives to start with a crushed walnut and cranberry mix is insanely good. The rice is great, the meat is indulgent.”

“We first tried Rayuela back in September, and it ended up being one of the best meals I’ve had in London. For context, I’m French and have spent a lot of time in Spain, so I’m not easy to impress when it comes to food. Everything we tried was authentic and of incredible quality, plus they have a really good selection of wines too. It is reasonably priced and good value for money, especially compared to how much you end up paying for an average meal at the pub these days. We ended up hosting a big family dinner there (20+ people), everyone was so pleased and we really felt looked after by the team.”

“I went there amazing food specially very Delicious tikka biryani I had it and very friendly staff”

“What does it mean when a restaurant is absolutely full on a Thursday evening? Not even a spare chair. There were no large group bookings, just tables of 2 and four people. Delicious Israeli style food with a twist. An Unusual and creative menu. Excellent service. Takeaway and Home catering are also provided. I was shocked to discover that my friends had never been there previously. Advisable to book. Highly recommended.”

“So incredibly happy to find this place. My Dad was Ugandan, and these are some of my favorite foods. We had the buffet and some Tusker beers. First of all, the chapati is absolutely perfect. We also enjoyed the matooke, posho, rice, chicken and various stews. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we were so full by the time we left. The service was great and everything was reasonably priced. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes on the regular menu and to bring visiting family members here. The main menu has whole fried tilapia, samosas and more grilled meats.”

“Their pastel is soooo good I love it. Tried 3-4 different taste of pastel here and all of them were awesome. Also their hand-made orange juice tastes fantastic :)”

“Branded was very well decorated for the festive season. I placed the order to collect, the order was late by the estimated time by a few minutes but it was understandable as it was Christmas Eve. Love the steaks from branded, there is a noodle dish that is very nice and my personal favourite — surf and turf. Food was still warm when I got home — great choice for dinner. My fillet was perfectly medium rare. The sauces are very nice too, not too rich.”

“We made an order for a Christmas Fish and Chip Supper for our Carer team at Home Instead for delivery. The food arrived piping hot, on time and the fish and chips were excellent. Thanks to Mehmet and his team for helping to make it a great night”

“Staff were amazing,they listen to you. Pizza was very delicious and can’t compare. Pizza was properly cooked, toppings were evenly distributed and every piece tasted better as i was hungry and ordered another one. Atmosphere was calm, pleasant, neat and clean. Thank you for the best pizza. I would recommend and visit again. Cheers!”

“I recently dined at Gotto Trattoria and was impressed by the overall experience. The setting was lovely. The food was decent and tasted authentic, at least to my understanding. The pizza stood out in particular: its base was beautifully airy and bouncy with just the right amount of crunch. What truly won me over, though, was the tiramisu. Creamy and balanced in sweetness.”

“This is the best sit down Chinese restaurant in Gravesend. The dishes are always tasty and delicious. The service is competent and friendly. The atmosphere is very welcoming. What’s not to like!?!? PS The fillet steak and onions is to die for.”

“Lovely liver and chips in this nostalgic cafe.”

“Excellent service at the Castle, was my first time there and was able to get a table really easily. I ordered the prawn and crab pasta which was great! Shout out to Andy who was managing my table area who was brilliant!! Will definitely return for a Sunday Roast soon!”

“ML Home offers stylish, high-quality furniture at great prices. Their selection is modern and versatile, perfect for any space. Friendly service and a smooth shopping experience make it a top choice for home furnishing”

“Great service, provided me with delivery for the furnitures and brought them up! Very quick and easy. Would recommend especially if you’re a local!”

“Excellent customer service. I bought an Acerbis Lokum glass table which broke as the glass was only 2mm thick in places, so clearly not fit for the purpose. Acerbis refused to replace. Or acknowledge that a table with the depth of a wine glass can not be anything other than dangerous. Aram offered several options and replaced the table at their cost. And we’re responsive, helpful and excellent in dealing with this. So I cannot recommend Acerbis glass tables. But I recommend Aram whole heartedly.”

“Really lovely. Definitely recommend. Went in to buy an office chair and they helped answer questions and let us wander around sitting in seats. They had second hand and new. Good prices on both.”

“I had an excellent experience with billboard furniture. I went intonthe shop to order a bed. The process was very easy and straightforward. Dhruv was a great help to me, he was the one who attended to me at the shop. Dhruv made sure everything from ordering to delivery was very well taken care of. He even called me the day before delivery to confirm delivery for next day. The delivery and assembly of the bed was also very quick and swift. The bed is excellent. I highly recommend this company.”

“We have been to the store in Bromley and we dealt with Joe. We have been extremely pleased by his high customer's care. He is very knowledgeable, very clear in providing all necessary information about the product and extremely professional, always in a nice and polite way. We are very delighted and for sure we will recommend this store to anyone is in need.”

“We recently came back from another cruise and stay vacation organized by Mr Patrick Hill and his team. It was a New York to Quebec cruise with N.Y. and Toronto stays plus a full day to Niagara Falls : one of the best trips in our lives. Everything went as planned and hoped. Flights, transfers, hotels and the cruise itself were perfect! Even the weather was exceptional. No delays, no missing arrangements, no unpleasant surprises. And an unexpected bonus : the appearance of the Northern Lights cruising from Halifax to Quebec. So, once more, thank you Patrick, thanks to the whole Paramount team for the services, for the help, for the memories..”

“best service so far got tickets in installments paid with ease and staff is really co-operative.”

“Amazing people and great, reasonable, and quick service. 2 of my watches needed battery replacement and both were done on the spot. Thanks for the great service.”

“We have been to this branch yesterday. A group of 6 and a kid. They offered a really good and cozy table in no time and that was impressive. The service was amazing and fast!. Manager and estar (asian girl) was super friendly. Happy with all over experience also this is the best branch in whole london! They used to give different olives as starters which was my favourite but now they’ve changed. Anyway the best experience”
