"I REALLY WANTED TO LOVE THIS PLACE! If you know me, you'll know I'm a HUGE fan of juice. I juice a lot myself and juicing was what got my husband and myself into living a plant based diet. With that said, I think I know my juices from my smoothies pretty well. Now, as someone who doesn't carry cash I was disappointed when I went in on the first day and their card machine wasn't working. I could excuse it as it was their first day. I went back last week and again the card machine still wasn't working. I was desperate for juice as I had too much to drink the night before while most turn to a full breakfast I turn to juice to cure me! Anyway, I went away to get cash and came back. Now, there are a couple of things that bothered me... First, I think it was the manager that was there he seemed a bit stressed and there wasn't anyone there, so not sure what he was stressed about but it was slightly off putting. Second, I stood there waiting to order and a girl just smiled at me, it took someone coming from the back to come over to take my order. Weird. I placed my order and I watched the other girl make my juice, I was a bit annoyed that she barely put enough kale in to get any juice out of it. Kale needs to be juiced in bunches to get enough juice. THEN THIS HAPPENED: she juiced unwashed apples WITH THE STICKERS STILL ON THEM!! Now, as I said I had a lot to drink the night before so my reaction was a bit slow and I thought perhaps I was seeing things. That's when the other girl brought a box of apples and took them out and placed them in a basket that the girl was taking apples out of to juice. I didn't say anything at the time although I really wish I did! When you're juicing you're consuming the entire fruit so when the apple is unwashed you're ingesting everything on the skin. Yes I drank the juice, yes it was good. To be honest though I think the place is more style over substance and I rather just juice at home."

"I had only been to Indigo Yard once before for a quick drink, but I was excited to go out for a work night on Friday. The atmosphere at Indigo Yard is cool, with a spacious open layout featuring brick walls and an industrial chic look. There is a mezzanine area with tables for dining, as well as a back room for diners. When I arrived, I met my coworkers at a table near the entrance for a drink before some of us sat down for dinner. We were lucky to visit on a night when an Edinburgh Gin representative was handing out free samples of their gins, which are a personal favorite of mine. The gin selection includes raspberry, elderflower, and a new spiced orange variety. After enjoying a drink, seven of us sat down for a meal in the back room and found the menu to be quite appealing. They offer a great deal of 2 courses for £10 all week, with a variety of options to choose from. We all went for the deal and I started with a chicken caesar salad followed by salmon teriyaki over rice (although the menu said noodles). The food was tasty and the portion sizes were reasonable. After our meal, we went back to the bar for more drinks and enjoyed live music from a band playing popular songs. The atmosphere was enjoyable and I had a great night overall. However, I was disappointed by the high prices of the drinks. A double gin and tonic cost me £8.80, and all cocktails were priced at or above £8. Even a spirit and mixer was around £5. While I will definitely return to Indigo Yard, I will need to save up before my next visit due to the expensive drinks."

"A special Event in a special Restaurant. My Wife and I visited the Holiday Inn near Bolton town centre for a special birthday treat in early June 2016. We had pre booked a table in the superb Hardies Restaurant and on arrival we were quickly shown to our table by the very efficient young lady who looked after us all evening She was very attentive without being obtrusive, Starters were chosen, ordered, and delivered within about 15 minutes. Kathleen’s Pate was a rather generous portion and she declared that it was at least as good as any she had tasted before. My choice was deep fried Goats cheese, this was very authentic and enjoyable. For Mains we finally settled on A Lamb shank for Kath which she said was Amazing, whilst I settled for the superb Cod in batter with chips and peas, a simple traditional dish but beautiful and rather large portion. Desserts took us quite a few minutes to decide on. Kath chose Hot apple pudding with a vanilla sauce. I decided on a fresh fruit salad with ice cream served on a large platter I counted nine different fruits all seasonal and extremely fresh. We both tasted each other’s desserts the apple pudding was also very nice. The waitress offered us cheese and biscuits but quite honestly by this time we were to put it bluntly, stuffed. The verdict was a truly excellent meal, time to retreat to the adjoining bar for a pleasant hours relaxation. To conclude we made the right choice to have our special event at Hardies and we will definitely visit again. Thanks to all concerned."

"I came directly from Brazil to The Understudy bar in London on the recommendation of an American friend with great taste in craft beer. As soon as I walked in, I had a very pleasant impression of a well-trafficked atmosphere with very distinctive décor. The music in the room also seemed very tasteful, with a good variety of British and American bands from the psychedelic rock counterculture of the 60s and 70s, including The Animals, CCR, and Jefferson Airplane. I confess that I fell in love with the cosy, charming, and elegant welcome of this bar in the heart of London, just a 15-minute walk from Big Ben and the London Eye along the River Thames. The beers I drank were particularly tasty, special adn delectable. The bar offers a diversity of flavor experiences, with a range of different beers, each with its own distinct personality. Before choosing my starter beer, I had the opportunity to sample a number of different craft beers, kindly offered by a very welcoming team. I tried a variety of IPA, PALE ALE, and STRONG ALE beers, each one more flavorsome than the last. I have to confess that my taste buds had synesthetic experiences. I was charmed by the warmth with which Anna and Alice welcomed me, with a remarkable talent for handling customers ' requests with attention, kindness, and grace. In short, the place is cozy, very well attended, and alluring. My only criticism is that it would be much more alluring if the staff could dress more freely in their own clothes, rather than a monochrome outfit with National Theater KERB written on it, which I found very distasteful and which contrasts enormously with the free, alluring, and relaxed atmosphere of The Understudy. Apart from the staff 's terrible choice of clothes, The Understudy is an authentic bar you will want to visit and that will remain in your memory for a long and good time."
