"Me and my friends have been coming to Desco lounge for a while now but I can truthfully say this will be the last time that we visit. We ordered 2 lounge breakfast, whilst the drinks arrived promptly we had to wait a fair while for our food. When it arrived the bacon was burnt and the beans were cold. I went to the bar to speak to one of the servers as none had bothered to come and check back our food and were clearly far too busy on a Monday afternoon to accommodate us. The portion size difference was crazy aswell considering we had the same meal! We wanted to order some extra beans and toast so we asked one of the ‘waitresses’ if we could order with her, she answered very abruptly we don’t do table service. And were told we have to go to the bar or order online. It was as if we were being a pain asking her these questions. As we were waiting for our fresh beans our food was getting cold so once it had been 10 minutes since we had ordered the beans I asked the same server how long they would be she replied ‘you haven’t been waiting 10 minutes’ so I showed her the proof on my order. She walked away as I was still speaking with her and a few minutes later returned with my food. I wouldn’t even understand this behaviour if she was new as she was so rude to us, as if she forgot we were the guests. The worst thing is when you order online it asks if you would like to tip! The cheek of it!"

"With health and wellness being at the top of the foodie agenda once again, my search for amazing health food cafes in London suddenly got a lot easier. I even saw an article about green juice on the Daily Mail the other day- talk about mainstream! And although I'm truly a newbie to this way of eating, I am (literally) hungry for more. Thus today I am sharing one of my newly found favourites: Maple Fitz At the launch of ClassPass in London at Barry's Bootcamp we were kindly fed post-workout by Maple Fitz. We indulged in fresh, tasty and healthful salads that gave us that post-sweat pick me up in style. If you've never heard of them then get yourself down to their Fitzrovia store ASAP! Maple Fitz specialises in healthy, honest and whole foods. Everyday salads are made fresh and served up with optional extras such as chicken, salmon or halloumi cheese. My favourites include the Mexican Bean Salad, the dairy free Caeser Kale Salad and the vibrant Red Cabbage Soba Noodle Salad. You can mix and match 3-5 salads to eat in or take away, then explore their yummy treat table for healthy but naughty goodies. Whilst enjoying your salad why not soak up more vitamins with a gorgeous juice. These too are freshly made and stored in the beverage fridge to grab and go. Last time I visited I went for the Little Miss Sunshine to wake me up. This features a delicious blend of orange, grapefruit, lime, ginger and cayenne pepper. Now if anything is going to shake off any post-night-out tiredness it's definitely this juice. Prices start at £6.95 for takeaway. Maple Fitz can be found at: 36A Berners St, Fitzrovia, London W1T 3LY"

"Myself, husband and son were in Windsor for the day as part of my son's 18th Birthday celebrations. Where we went for lunch was his pick and he really fancied a burger so Gourmet Burger Kitchen seemed an obvious choice. I have to say I'm not the biggest burger fan so the thought of a burger restaurant didn't thrill me. Firstly we were greeted by a very friendly and helpful member of staff who quickly sat us down. The menu choice was impressive and despite initial reservations I found several items that sounded tempting. I decided to opt for the Chargrilled Chicken Satay Burger and went for the bunless option. My son had The Mighty with fries and onion rings and the husband had The Major Tom with the addition of avocado and bacon. Drinks wise we had an Oreo milkshake, Ginger Beer and a makeshift Mocha as it is not something on their menu but our helpful server was very quick to oblige and create a Mocha for us. For someone who was decidedly underwhelmed at the thought of a burger restaurant it was the most delicious meal I've had in a long time. My bunless burger was served with Homeslaw and corn in place of a bun, a very nice substitute. As for my husband and son ...well firstly my son was beaten by his massive burger which is a first big my husband polished off his. In conclusion great food made even better by the fabulous staff. Thank you we will be back next time we visit."

"Booked a room here the day before arrival, which to be honest, due to circumstances beyond my control had to cancel early on the day before arrival. Arrived yesterday with my gf, walked into the bar, and ordered 2 drinks whilst saying I had booked a room. But which I cancelled but need the room now please if available. Bar man looked at me blankly and said your the guy who tried to cancel, I sad yes but now we do require the room. Sat down with drinks, to then have a woman (I presume the barman/managers wife) shuffle over to our table. After a long and boring conversation about who booked what and when and who cancelled and why. I said we do require the room after all, she then murmured something about having to put the radiators on then shuffled off. After shuffling back she she said “so you do want the room?” I said yes please if available, she said well can you pay now! In mid pint I do not like to be interrupted, so I said I will pay after I have finished my drink thanks…..shuffles off. Shuffles back…She then delivered the fantastic line “you don’t know whether your coming or going do you” I sipped my pint of neck oil and laughed and said “I do we’re going” and it is possible for someone to cancel and then rebook. We drunk up and left! Pros Lovely little resident dog think he was a terrier, nice lil fella! Maybe employ him behind the bar? Cons awful attitude from bar staff/management Very bates motel/hills have eyes vibe for the film buffs who may read this review. Typical small village pub/hotel locals all crowded rnd the bar with happy smiling shuffler above, then the your from not round here routine to me any my gf. Picked on the wrong guy here though! Recommendation We drank our drinks which were nice, then booked in one minute, to stay at meadow farm hotel. 1 mile away, Great smiley faces of staff greeted us on arrival, had a lovely meal and a few drinks. Room is clean, spacious, and value for money. Avoid the green dragon inn!! Much nicer places/ppl near by."
