Would highly recommend”

“Couldn't have asked for better service, food and accommodation for the weekend of my sister's wedding. Eanna and Lara were attentive and very professional. The venue was immaculate and everyone had a wonderful time. 10/10 would recommend the queen's head for wedding receptions!”

“Its a great place, a bit rough around the edges but lovely atmosphere, good buzz, really friendly staff and people. Drinks are super cheap. Need to normally be a member, but they also have occasional non member events like the beer festival.”

“Almost every time I’ve been there, I have been given something for free. The other day I bought two bao buns and they gave me an extra two for free, this has happened more than once. Today I received a free packet of Ramen. There are so many more examples of this that I can’t put it into this review 20/10 recommend this place. Has a massive variety and at a reasonable price. Awesome staff and good service!”

“Nice and clean grocery store with a great selection of world foods. The bakery section is amazing — fresh bread and lots of variety. Always a good shopping experience!”

“Is such a shame Porters don't own year- round and all fruit and veg any more. ... but they still keep a great selection of plants seasonally, and always with a smile and good advice if you need assistance with your purchases.”

“Had an amazing experience with Gibson Lane. Ben Jennings was incredibly helpful in finding us the perfect house to rent that met all our requirements. Throughout the entire renting process, he supported us and helped us secure the property just in time, despite a few challenges along the way. The team is professional, responsive, and really good at what they do. Highly recommend Gibson Lane!”

“A fantastic independent jewellers with exceptional customer service. Purchased a simply stunning vintage ring, even had the paperwork verifying the quality of the stone. The staff are friendly and highly knowledgeable. Cannot recondmend highly enough. A great shopping experience rather than using some characterless high street chain. Will definitely visit again.”

“I am so going back there! It was a very quick visit for a few potatoes, however, I saw fruits and vegetables I'd not really heard of before. Looking forward to expanding my knowledge, and pallet, with different veggies! Oh, saw them and couldn't resist.. fresh Queen olives, garlic and chilli. Nearly forgot the potatoes! :)”

“I went to Kingston Schuh in the hopes of buying a pair of Sinclair Doc Martins. I was assisted by Cole and Sophie, who were both so helpful! They have both previously worn Docs and had a lot of information about the fit/sizing and how to break them in comfortably. I walked away with my new favourite pair of shoes and can't thank Cole and Sophie enough for their help. Always love visiting Schuh in Kingston as everyone is so helpful!”

“Wow… Huge store. Wide isles. Massive carpark. Staff are always keen to help and well presented. Very clean and tidy. Toilets available too.”

“Staff always friendly, Costa coffee machine available, deli counter has some tasty bites. Waitrose has a little bit of everything, chilled meals, sandwiches, biscuits and snacks as well as car maintenance essentials air fresheners to anti freeze.”

“​Stepping back into this riverside pub after such a long time felt instantly familiar and warm, it was an absolute treat to be back. This place has an undeniable, irreplaceable character, sitting right on the banks of the Thames in Kingston. I've always loved that slightly rugged, "dodgy" feel of the location; it gives the pub a charming authenticity that you just don't find everywhere else. ​We were meeting up with friends, and the entire evening just flew by. It's testament to the company and the cozy atmosphere inside that, despite being right next to the water, I barely had a chance to look out at the river! We settled in quickly, enjoying the convivial mood and some much-needed catch-up time. ​The experience was fantastic across the board. The food we ordered was genuinely lovely, perfect pub fare done really well and the drinks flowed easily. What truly elevated the visit, though, was the service. The staff were consistently pleasant, attentive, and made us feel genuinely looked after without being intrusive. ​For anyone looking for a friendly, character-filled spot near the Thames to catch up with friends, enjoy great food, and receive wonderful service, I highly recommend this spot. I certainly won't be waiting so long for my next visit!”

“Staff are all extremely friendly and always warm and very helpful. They regularly have about 3 staff on the self checkouts which is more efficient than some other supermarkets that only have 1.”

“Great place for trade products, very helpful and knowledgeable staff, parking is very limited. Would recommend reserve and collect to save time there.”

“Staff are helpful and polite which makes a nice change. I'd appreciate some variation in the lines carried every now and again but can't complain given the size of the shop. You could actually do a weekly shop in here if forced to but it's best for a quick thing you forgot.”

“The local shop of mine is very helpful but need more parcel services like amazon evri DPD and the opening times are very convinient. The people are very nice”

“I had an issue with a pair of shoes(sizing) Gabriel and Mason both Went back and forth finding different trainers each time we changed our minds. They were good humoured and professional, in between dealing with us they also dealt with other customers, whilst remaining attentive to us. Overall my experience in that store was more than elevated due to their excellent customer service”

“We love this nursery. Our two boys have been going here since October 2023 and they enjoy it very much. The staff turnover is minimal and the teachers are lovely, professional and kind. The bigger nursery chain they went to before was much more expensive, the teachers changed constantly and our older one was reluctant to go in. We have none of those issues here and are very happy with our nursery choice. The nursery manager Claire is also very nice to deal with. There are two 197 nurseries close to each other and our boys go to the bigger one across from Alexandra school. As an example of the level of care, there was major train disruptions recently and we couldn’t get home to pick the boys up on time. The teachers stayed with them until almost 8pm and didn’t even complain when we finally got there. The have very reliable and attentive staff here.”

“I use this place occasion as it has a parcel return service, I have always found the staff to be really helpful and polite, most places I pick up or drop off parcels have really unhelpful and rude staff but I have been served here by several different people and have always had a good experience”
