Advantages: warm, decent beer and wine Disadvantages: a bit expensive for those on a budget

The prices are not cheap, but with the chance to spot celebrities having a drink after a visit to the BBC studios up the road, the oppertunity to thaw out with a well needed drink should not be missed.

Situated in one of the best streets in Glasgow for pubs and food Ashton Lane, behind Hillhead underground station on Byres Road, the bar upstairs is always warm, with a fire for those chilly autumn and winter daysnas nights, with comfy seats and benches, and an extremly well stocked bar. They have a decent selection of on-tap beers, but their wine list, complete with tasting notes, will bring a smile to any lover of the grape. The prices are not cheap, but with the chance to spot celebrities having a drink after a visit to the BBC studios up the road, the oppertunity to thaw out with a well needed drink should not be missed.

Advantages: Cosy, nice atmosphere Disadvantages: Can get very busy - sardines stage
The upstairs bar at The Chip Grosvner Lane (just off Byres Road in the West End of Glasgow) is like someones front room with a bar.
Fairly small with not many seats but a happy atmosphere, The Chip is the perfect bar to nip into for a quick drink before going to the cinema next door. In saying that, it is also a bar that you wouldn't like to leave.
Nights at The Chip are always busy - it gets to the stage when you don't want to go to the bathroom ... ...a few times!
The Chip is also a haven for the artistic types - a lot of people from the BBC go here for lunch, and of course *ahem* great actors like myself!
Definately worth a try with a fine range of wines, but not too many beers. ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Chip
Advantages: Food, service, cleanliness all excellent Disadvantages: None apart from the dreaded calories!
As some of you will already know we live in Llandudno and I am happy to tell you that we boast an award winning fish and chip shop ? in fact it came second in Great Britain in the National Fish and Chip Shop of the Year a couple of years ago. Incidentally on the way up to Edinburgh we tried the fish and chips at the winning shop in Biggar and they are nowhere near as good as ours!
The chip shop in question is called Fish Tram Chips which you may think is an odd name but it is directly opposite the terminal where you catch the tram up to the summit of the Great Orme so that explains the name then.
The full address is:
Fish Tram Chips
22/24, Old Road
Llandudno
LL30 2NB
It is open seven days a week during the summer from 12pm until 3pm and then again from 4.30pm until 7.30pm. In the winter it is closed on Monday and Tuesday ...
Advantages: West end location, close to bus & underground Disadvantages: bit hard to find, parking is poor but there is a car park (full)
Hidden just off Byres Road In Ashton Lane The Chip is worth looking for. The last meal I had there was excellent. This is a good place to go if you want good service and time for conversation.
Background music nice & quiet allowing you to have a peacefull conversation as opposed to some resturants where you cannot hear yourself think.
the decor is well thougth out and nicely placed It is not too busy and does not take your mind off the brilliant meals that are offered.
The restaurant is reasonably priced and the food and service equally provide a good value all round. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a reasonably priced romantic meal. ...
Advantages: The best fish and chips you can get Disadvantages: It gets very busy
Stein's Fish and Chips
Celebrity chef Rick Stein is so prevalent in Padstow, and brings so much custom into the pretty harbour town, that it can only be a matter of time before the local dignitaries approve changing its name to Stein's Padstow. At the time of writing Stein has four restaurants and two deli / gift shops all within a hundred yards or so of the harbour front. At the top of the tree is his flagship Seafood Restaurant, opened in 1975 and offering an excellent choice of mainly fish dishes with prices you'd expect from such a famous chef. Next on the list is St. Petroc's Bistro, a more relaxed place that also offers very good food at prices that are slightly more reasonable than the Seafood Restaurant but still not for the faint hearted. Further down the food chain there is Rick Stein's Café, a place where you can drop in ...
