“I had been suffering from a constant intense headache on my left side of my head/neck since having covid 7 months ago. I had tried everything but nothing had worked until I had my first physio appointment with Mustafa. After just two appointments I couldn't believe the turn around in my health. I now have a monthly appointment to help keep the headaches at bay. Mustafa provides a very professional, knowledgeable, friendly service and I would definetely recommend him for Physio.”

“Our son has been going to Johnny's classes for nearly 2 years. He loves it. The games are well planned, engaging and full of skill based learning. My son is now so confident in all areas of PE because he attends, and most importantly has fun each week! Highly recommended”

“I've been training with Frank's for over 2 years. It's the best martial arts training I've ever had in my 15 years of experience. Excellent facilities with top, professional coaching. They are there to get you fit, improve your skills and support you along the way.”

“Very kind driver! Great and safe driving. Very clean buses as well.”

“Was stuck on a job and needed a unusual fitting for mains water supply. Went to another plumbing shop which was nearest to me and was given the wrong fitting even after bringing a piece of pipe with. Came to this plumbing shop and he knew right away what type of adapter I would need. Very knowledgeable here and saved my skin on a Friday afternoon. Very grateful.”

“Great place with knowledgeable owner and staff.”

“Fantastically friendly and knowledgeable staff, went in today for some new running trainers as mine were old and giving me issues, explained this to the gent who served me, and after assessing my feet and gait he was able to explain exactly what was causing my issues and offer me trainers that matched my needs. I feel very very chuffed with the service i received and the pricing matches that of many other retailers so well worth a visit! 11/10 would recommend!”

“CITY performed well, Bunny did great becoming the first to net over a hundred goals. Fugino played really well getting possession taking the ball up the wing and then putting some brilliant crosses in. However Bunny got the first goal but later, Fugi got a well deserved goal. A few near misses and two goals ruled offside seemed to take the heart out of Villa, and City ran amok.”

“Great spot for a good priced coffee that is really nice! The staff all super friendly too. Also put on a lot of bike-based activities if that’s your cup of tea, and have plenty of cycling gear in store too”

“I came for a ski boot fitting today and was seen promptly by George who introduced himself to us and explained the process. George was absolutely brilliant from start to finish - he was incredibly knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. In addition to the boots he gave me excellent advice on clothing. It was a really great positive experience and I can wholeheartedly recommend George and the team at Ellis Brigham.”

“My daughter started here only 6 weeks ago and has learned so much. She has been developed so many skills already and really enjoys coming. She has also advanced 2 badges. The support from the coach is brilliant. Practicing at home seriously helps her improvement. We look forward to seeing her progress through the badges”

Catering has always been very good, with friendly and efficient staff.”
