“Gary is a fantastic dogwalker! He has really taken the time to get to know our Whippet (Otis) and has built a great relationship with him. Our dog loves going on the long walks Gary provides (rain or shine). Gary is very reliable, trustworthy and communicative and clearly loves his job based on the time and effort he puts in. Would not hesitate to recommend Gary for anyone considering someone to walk or look after their pup.”

“Had a really great time, went to 4 pubs/breweries and sampled lots of quality beers, would do again! Thanks to Darren our tour guide for making it a fun day!”

“Loved the specials! Very friendly and perfect informal dining with a good vibe. Dalia was lovely and everyone very attentive.”

“A hidden gem. My son had his 5th birthday party there today and had a fantastic time. The staff (especially our party host and who l believe to be the manager) went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were so accommodating- nothing was too much trouble, nothing felt rushed and all the children looked like they were having a great time. Very reasonable prices too which is a bonus! will definitely be visiting there again soon.”

“We celebrated our son’s 10th birthday in a private screen room at Odeon Chelmsford. The Manager and staff were very friendly and ensured that we had a good time. We really appreciate that they allowed to bring in our own party food. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the party and had great fun cheering and booing together in the movie climax. We would highly recommend a private screen hire to celebrate kids birthday.”

“Wow. This has to be one of the best cafes I’ve ever been to! It’s located in the Northern Quarter (Manchester) and it’s situated in an urban area. When you walk inside, you are greeted with a calming fountain and a beautiful atmosphere, just as calming as the fountain. You talk to the staff, who are very nice and kind (10/10) and order your drink (if you want). There is also a wide array of affordable food, you can get cakes, chapatis and quesadillas as well. I ordered Karma Cola (sugar-free) which doesn’t taste like any other cola, it tastes better. The cola isn’t too sweet as well, compared to other colas. You explore around the cafe, curiously, and find the Library. Now, this library is the calmest library I’ve ever been to. Shelves are filled with books and the room is painted in an ambient brown, making it feel even more calming. You look around the library, head to toe in a sense of tranquil. No music is played here. It’s very quiet. You leave the cafe satisfied and calm. Overall, you need to try this cafe, it’s great. The staff are nice, it is affordable, drinks are high quality and if you are looking for a cafe where you can study or just relax, this is the right place for you.”

“Great experience, Zizzi has always been an untraditional Italian pizzeria. Always having new dishes. The staff are really friendly and Rowan helped us a lot specially with the kids toys made my daughter forget about the wanting time of the order.”

“The perfect airport hotel. A complementary shuttle bus is available from the airport, which arrived to pick me up just outside the terminal. From my arrival in reception I was greeted by very attentive and friendly staff - the place has a feeling of being orderly and efficient yet still maintaining that relaxed atmosphere. My room had a comfortable bed, super soft sheets and was quiet - I couldn’t hear any noise from the airport. The selection and quality of the buffet breakfast was brilliant. Everything you could want prepared and displayed to an high standard. Mike and John were going over and above to ensure all guests had a great experience. Overall I was impressed with my stay, and glad I chose this hotel after a very long flight.”

“Brilliant dj ,,played all our favourites ,,,great guy would recommend to all ....cheers pal !!!!”

“Greg is a fab walker and takes the dogs on lots of fun walks.”

“For a dog who just tolerates me when i try to brush him (whilst giving me a disapproving side eye), it seems no trouble for Chloe as she does a great job every time grooming him. She always listens to what we ask for and somehow makes my dog look like hes ready for the red carpet, a look we would never been able to achieve in two hours! Would definitely recommend- shes worth every penny”

“Amazing onion in toast and a great cappuccino! Highly recommended!”

“Excellent coffee, nice and cozy environment. The owner was a lovely person”

“Went to Nicola for my hair done really felt at ease and was really confident in herself was really pleased with the service Nicola did for me she did half highlights and colour wash cut and blow and curly would recommend friends going there was asking me was I ok said yes really polite as well thank you Nicola for doing my hair really like it really appreciated it”

“Mandi has been walking our dog 3 times a week for 6 months now and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Mandi is absolutely fantastic with our dog, he adores her and is so happy when she knocks at the door. Mandi has built a careful bond with our dog and she has been so understanding about his needs to be solo walked and any other needs that he has. She is so kind and has never let us down in 6 months. She is just a fantastic person and any dog is lucky to be walked by her.”

“Penny has always done an excellent job of taking care of my cats, sending me daily updates, photos and videos whilst I have been on holiday. I can’t recommend Penny @ Premier Pet Sitters Whitworth enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“From the moment we arrived carol provided a safe and comfortable environment for Dylan our Cockerpoo.We were promptly notified when Carol had finished and Dylan came out smelling and looking amazing! He is quite a nervous dog at times .but Carol took time and care to reassure us and Dylan . The Woof Bar totally adheres to covid hygiene standards and I would have no hesitation in recommending Carol for your dog groom.”

“Full disclosure: I am not a customer. With that being said,… This establishment is made with love, passion, blood, sweat, and determination that came from its owner, Jori Lakars, aka Hott Mama, aka The Mama who always gave herself goals and standards that benefited the world to the fullest and implemented the highest standards possible. A quick glance at her path shows that she has been successful in the industry well known in a way that the number of 5 reviews or social media followers will not reflect. I met her personally only once before she moved to England about 17 years ago. She was working in a popular tattoo shop in Wicker Park that I won’t name. ( if you know, you know) the had long ravenous hair and substantially fewer tattoos. Although I had met many women who were in the industry, few were celebrated by their peers. The shop posted a large banner in the front window that said ‘we have a female tattoo artist.’ I had never seen that before even in a liberal city like Chicago. Soon after that, every shop in the area had at least one ‘female.’ She went on to work at many of the best rated shops and worked on the best artists in the business as clients. When she moved, we were sad yet proud to see that she was following her passion overseas. She would wonder up one of the top artists anywhere she worked. She finally got her own place and put every ounce of work into it. Sadly, she had just acquired two young brilliant talents just recently. A couple of weeks ago, she passed away in a car accident without any warning. I t is a shock that she is gone and her energy is eternally resting. I have known her half of my life and I have never known anyone like her. A true inspiration and individual person who is driven to create. If you are lucky enough to have had a moment with her, you know what I mean. Love to her local community from Chicago. We were all lucky enough to be together for as long as we could,…… Cheers to Jori.”

“I had amazing work done by Adam on my knee, full coverup and I'm blown away by it. All of the other artists & customers are super friendly too- definitely recommend and I'll be back many more times”

“Amazing tattoo studio! Upon walking in was greeted by friendly staff and gorgeous studio. I had a small ornamental dot work piece done with Steph. She answered all my questions before hand to make sure I was calm for the session and her work is beautiful. I cannot recommend this studio enough!”

“We have had takeaway and always enjoyed the meals, and they always arrive hot. We decided to go for lunch on a Saturday, we ordered the thali and sorry the other meal I forget the name of, it was all outstanding, very tasty....the service as always, was very friendly and welcoming...”

“Been wanting to go here since they opened, finally got a table. Heard and read great things about this place. I can see now why it's got such high praise and why it's worth waiting to get a booking. From the moment we entered the place was so inviting, the service was excellent. As for the food it was incredible, not one bad course, I opted for the extra course of pheasant, which I'm so glad I did it was one of my favourites. I've been to quite a few tasting menus and this was up there as one of my favourites. The place has a lovely homely family vibe, the chef/owner came out and chatted to us about one of the courses and we ended up chatting for a little, really nice guy. This is such an amazing addition to Urmston and deserves all the success. Get booked in and you won't be disappointed. We will be returning for the next convenient available slot. Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. The food is incredible we went on Sunday for there Sunday roast and it was amazing, every element was off the scale. I'd go for the three courses as the portions aren't huge but well balanced.”

“Amazing Karak Chai & pink tea!!! Their Mojitos are absolutely amazing I would recommend the Chico’s special!! Their breakfast is affordable and really tasty!!! Donuts are fresh soft and oozing with flavour!!! Would definitely recommend going here with family friends!! Very friendly staff and very family friendly!!”

“Just had a lovely experience at Polished & Pampered. Hair stylist Emma gave great advice regarding the choice of colour i should choose. Extremely happy with the result. Highly recommend…”

“I can not say how lovely the whole team is in the salon. Jack did my hair and made me feel like a princess. He went out of his way to make sure I felt special and my hair was perfect. A HUHE thank you to Jack. He is amazing at his job. The colour is perfect. I didn't know what would be best and he helped me with having dark hair what would work well. Thank you Jack super star.”

“Jasanmol was lovely, I had a brow wax and tint very last minute and she was able to fit me in. She talked me through the process and then always asked if it was ok before she applied the wax/ tint. We had a lovely chat too!”

“Great escape room, friendly staff. May have some trouble calling, just try again a couple minutes later as the staff may be busy helping out some of the people in the rooms. Every room is fun and unique, Conclusion is really good. Price is cheap compared to other escape rooms. They also have a bar where you can order drinks if you're doing this with a group. Some of the rooms are "Scary". Missing and Kidnapped. But its just the atmosphere.”

“I booked a meerkat and birds of pray experience for my partners 40th birthday and I must say Nanette and her husband went above and beyond and made the day so special I honestly cannot thank them both enough! Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a personalised happy birthday message on the black board, this little touch really made the day feel special and was a great start to a fantastic day. Nanette is very knowledge, so learning about these magnificent animals was excellent. We felt very safe and relaxed and had a wonderful hands on time with both the meerkats and the birds of pray. I highly recommend Vale Royal Falconry Centre to everyone, whether it is for a lesson or just a nice day out, you will not be disappointed!! Thank you to you both for giving us such a fantastic birthday and making it feel special in these difficult times!!”

“What a fabulous, happy yard this is! The horses are so well looked after and loved. Greg and the staff are so friendly, helpful and fun. Thanks especially to Evie who took me on my hack, lovely girl.. and to my trusty steed Patch, a real gent xx”
