Even though this place has many vegetarian dishes, it also has a meat-based section. I shared a Masala Dosa as a starter and had the Thalassery Chicken Masala as the main meal. Both very good.

I went there with a friend on a late Saturday afternoon and we ate continuously for 1.5 hours. The food (mostly meat for us) was that good. :)

It wasn't busy and they did a good job of making sure that our plates were never empty.

I lived next in Mozambique for a few years and I used to visit South Africa quite often then (both countries share a border). Spur restaurants are widespread in South Africa and they serve an excellent steak there, so I used to go there more than a few times.

I was curious how the English version would fare in comparison. I had a sirloin steak and I thought it wasn’t as good as the South African one, but it was still good (especially considering the price).

The service was excellent as we were served by a very friendly lady and the food came relatively quickly.

A small, but excellent Argentinian steak house.

I had the 10oz rump and it was definitely one of the best I have had in the UK.

One minor complaint is that I asked for medium and got what I would describe as rare. The meat was tender enough that I did not mind though.

Decent beer, good prices and pool tables meant that I would often meet friends on Hardy’s Well during my student days.

Educational and enjoyable. The place is huge and it felt like a free light cardio session came with the package. ;)

We must have been lucky because there weren’t any queues.

I went to Favela Chic for a friend’s birthday and I was left with mixed feelings. The crowd was friendly, the music was interesting and the food was good (although I suspect I would have liked it a lot more if I had chosen the steak instead of the chicken).

However, it was too crowded and too hot.

Great cinema for independent films. The bar is also good with a nice selection of drinks.

I always have a good time when I go to Alton Towers, but the main issue is that the queues for the best rides can be very long. As said elsewhere, April/May and September/October are nicer in that respect.

Rita, Nemesis and Oblivion are my favourite rides as I am a thrill-seeker and I’ll give it a 5 on the assumption that it’s not too busy. 4 otherwise.

Good and quick sandwiches prepared on the spot.
