If one day you find yourself in the centre of Sheffield and you fancy a slightly upmarket bite to eat without the pretentious atmosphere but with an abundance of Yorkshire Tea then Marmadukes is certainly worth investigating. The outside of the café/deli is lovely; the smart front, large windows and old fashioned brickwork … Continue reading
In the centre of York lies one of Britain’s (allegedly) most haunted pubs, The Golden Fleece. It is a wonderful old building which dates back to 1501 and it has all the structural loveliness you could possibly hope for. The low ceilings, sloping, uneven floors and ubiquitous asymmetry are perfect surroundings in which to have … Continue reading
A torrential afternoon drove us into the Joseph Benjamin and initial impressions were good. A crisp, clean frontage with outdoor seating and cream awnings certainly afforded the place a very modern allure. A brief look through the window showed a busy and seemingly popular destination yet upon entering we soon realised it was largely down … Continue reading
Tucked at one end of Lendal Bridge is the Perky Peacock, a cosy coffee shop-come-cafe enclosed in a medieval stone tower. The slate roof and old stone make for an aesthetically pleasing place, and the inside is equally pleasant to look at. With round walls, exposed beams and a nice selection of furniture including a … Continue reading
This place lurks off the beaten path, nestled in the narrow streets of Liverpool’s bar district. These streets can be gritty and mismatched, with bars and clubs rubbing shoulders with crumbling warehouses and wasteland. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell street from back alley. Alma is on Seel Street in an old Roman Catholic Church. It … Continue reading

This review website is predicated upon highlighting and critiquing the best ways to spend time. We respect quality, value, vibrancy and enjoyability. The Showroom Cinema in Sheffield is a gem embedded in the cultural heart of the city. It is among the top finds but sadly flies under the radar of many students during their … Continue reading
Knutsford is a small, affluent market town in Cheshire. As with all small, affluent market towns, it is knee deep in small cafes, bistros and restaurants. Caffe Orange sits beside the town hall at the top of the hill and has a particularly appealing facade, so much so that we bypassed cafes previously researched to … Continue reading
Broomhill is a collision between the established wealth of West Sheffield and the transient student population. It’s situated between the University anrd Fulwood. If you find yourself there looking for a tasty meal or a good choice of drinks you certainly don’t have to limit yourself to the lofty heights of Sean Bean’s chippy or … Continue reading
Another Division Street hotspot. Bungalows and Bears unashamedly tries to be ‘cool’ and to be fair, manages it to a certain degree. First of all, location. It’s housed within an old fire station and the original structure of the building has been utilised, rather than changed. The great pragmatic square arches which in the past … Continue reading
