The Fleur-de-Lis, Banbury (Wetherspoons)

Advantages: can sit 9 people on one table
Disadvantages: With Fleur de lis Banbury definately the service

...The Fleur-de-Lis which is a Wetherspoons which we settled for. The seating was fine and they had a good chair for my 20 month old Grand daughter. The Menu There are some good food deals with 2 main meals for £6.69 and meals that includes the drink. Main meals Fish and chips ££5.19 sausage and mash in a rich onion gravy £6.99 chilli con carne £5.69 Five bean chilli £5.69 chicken tikka masala £6.19 8oz gammon steak £5.79 Braised shoulder ...
...We have been in other Wetherspoons and it has been perfect so I do feel that Banburys The Fleur-de-lis should get their act together and treat their customers a lot better than they do. Outcome is I would not go back there gain but it hasnt put me off other wetherspoons. Thank you for reading x ...

Review of Wetherspoons

a good night out

Advantages: good atmosphere good music
Disadvantages: over crowded bars

the australian bar or walk abouts has had a referb in the last couple of years it now looks a lot better that it use to do, you cant get more australian than this place when they are serving you crocodile , kangaroo and ostrich for dinners yum... but dont be afraid other english foods are available the price of the foods is between £5-£15 for main courses, service times of food is good and comes complete with a smile from the waiters, but the australian ...
...of those 80's clasics, the australian bar is divided up in to two areas the main area where live banmds play and all your indy style music is played then down stairs where its more of a night club altough i tend not to go down there myself it is a little small and can get cramped at times if you like your cricket and rugby then this is the place to be, all the major events seems to gather all those aussies from all over birmingham and the atmosphere ...

Review of Harvester

ENJOY RISA

Advantages: Great place for everyone to enjoy themselves
Disadvantages: none

...the main area with the bar and sitting areas. At this time, which I am guessing was around 9pm?? Hmm I’m really trying hard, anyway at this time the atmosphere was pretty relaxed with the noise at a tolerable level. To be honest I cannot remember the type of music that was playing here, well it can’t have been too bad because I was not complaining being a Saturday night the crowd at the bar was pretty big and was a while before you could get any ...
...of drinks and a few photos with men in superhero outfits later we preceded upstairs. Here there are two seating areas and the dance floor. The music playing here catered for everyone from cheesy pop to R'n'B and hip hop and gives a chance for everyone to strut their stuff on the dance floor and enjoy themselves. There was a mixed crowd at Risa on Saturday night but I don’t know what its like on other days because I’m not from Birmingham. But if ...

Review of Bar Risa (Birmingham)

Is It Time for Cake Yet?

Advantages: Great cakes, reliable quality food and drink
Disadvantages: High prices

If you live anywhere across the central part of England you will probably already be familiar with Druckers. This chain of cafes first saw the light of day in Birmingham, in 1964. There are now 40 branches which radiate out from Birmingham as far afield as Leeds and Southampton. I see from the Druckers website there is even a branch in Cardiff. Originally conceived by its founder as a Viennese style patisserie, Druckers now offers a wide range of ...
...sandwiches. But really what we all go to Druckers for is the cake. If you like cakes laden with fat, sugar, chocolate, whipped cream and icing, this is the place for you! Being a chain, the menu is much the same whichever branch of Druckers you go to, although the smaller branches may not have such a full selection of food as you would find in a larger branch. To give you an idea of the menu and prices I will just run through a few of my favourite ...
