Absolutely fantastic!
Take your appetite and someone elses too because for the fixed price of around £12 you are going to be SWIMMING in food.
There were four starters to choose from when we went, three main courses and about six desserts which is huge for a place that will sit around 40 people.
The starters were blissfully light because the mains would feed a small army! The beef was cooked to absolute moist perfection, the veg was generous and the gravy was home made!
Dessert was still a good portion and was a good selection too with everything from ice cream through chocolate tart to trifle and crumble.
The service was exemplatary and fast. We were made to feel completely at home from the moment we stepped through the door. In fact, it was more like going home to mom’s than going to a pub or restaurant.
If this place had outdoor facilities, you’d never be able to get in on a Sunday but as it is, I’m shocked it isn’t full to bursting every Sunday.
If you live in the Didcot, Abingdon, Grove, Wantage, Milton area, you need to go here for Sunday lunch and take everyone you know!

FABBO! I’ve had so many wonderful meanls in here. Don’t let the 'unique’ decor put you off (on the staff and on the walls). You won’t find a better meal in the area for anything close to this price.
From breakfast through lunch to dinner Sneaky Dee’s is a Toronto tradition for more than just food - it is an awsome live music venue!
Set aside time, change in to jeans and a t-shirt and hop on the red rocket to take the easy way down to Dees but remember I said nothing - let’s keep the secret amongst ourselves or we’ll never get a table ;-)

I only buy the occasional pair of shoes from in here and I don’t wear my shoes all that often as I do have a number so they never really wear out.
I can’t say I’ve had the trouble others on here have but I also haven’t splashed the cash some here have.
I think for cheap, disposable shoes they are great and perhaps I have simply always been lucky with the shoes I’ve purchased. I’ve bought several pairs from this shop.
That said it’s probably best to be careful about what pair you buy, never pay full price and wear them gently.

I wish I was able to pull the looks off because this place is fab!
More than just glitter, this place has the most wonderful makeup around but you really need to want a strong look. They have these wonderful jewelled cases, ewach one is different, which have the cosmetics in them which I think is a great touch.
It is about more than just cosmetics though - the shop also has all sorts of fragrances for both him and her as well as interesting stuff for the bathroom.
Really worth a look around even if you aren’t going to buy anything!

These things are HUGE! I think the mistake was thinking each person on the team would want a whole one - half a cinnamon bun and we were ill. The second mistake was trying to push past the pain and keep eating but how could you not?
Yummy goey goodness in a giant cinnamon bun greets you and as the smell enfolds your very essence in cinnamony-fatty goodness, you know it is futile to resist.
These wonderful mounds of carb-y goodness need to be eaten by someone and gosh darn it that someone might as well be you! And me… and the seven other members of my team. And the Qype folk. And the office workers in the area and…
Fear not Beard Papa - Cinnabon cannot touch your greatness!

I’m torn for my review of this place. When I arrived the staff were great, the place was clean and there were a lot of people about. It seemed safe and enjoyable and a great place to be.
The wine selection is limited but the beer selection is diverse and should appeal to a number if different interests. The evening seemed plesant and enjoyable and the people I was with were great.
Roll on 10:15 when I left and there was a fight starting outside, people sleeping rough next to the pub and you are suddenly aware that it is down an alley way and away from the main atrip.
This seems to be a great place for an after work drink but I’d hesitate to recommend it for a lengthy stay.

This is one of the usual haunts for our Friday night pub visits. I’ve found that the staff are fine if a bit rushed, the interior is small but the exterior is large and you can drink or eat outside without spilling on to the road.
The Banksy that was on the wall across the street has been painted ver which is a shame as it is now an ugly beige wall leading to grey instead of the really interesting Banksy picture however the pub is enjoyable nontheless.
This Blue Posts is very close to several others. If you’re meeting folks here, make sure you all go to the right one!

It’s a bit dingy insode and the folk who hang here are a bit scary in the later evening but the staff are friendly and always bright and cheery when I’ve been in.
The outside opens on to an interesting area, the inside has usually been mostly clean and the velvet seats were typically pub-ish.
It’s a bit dark inside but still a nice pub for a drink after worrk or the early evening.

Absolutely stunning store. This Waitrose has been renovated and it is a pleasure to shop in. Everyone from the checkout staff to the bakery staff to the floor staff are friendly and helpful and have always been able to not only assist me but offer advice and suggestions.
The staff here really go that extra little bit with either taking you to what you’re looking for, ringing other shops or helping to juggle your shopping.
Excellent experience, easy to park at, easy reach of the town, brilliant!

Beautifully situated on the edge of the tidal river, this pub and B&B is the best place in the area to drink, eat and stay overnight.
From our arrival on a beautiful sunny day, we knew it was going to be a glorious stay as we found a table beside the water which remained cool in the midday sun.
A jug of Pimms and a few pints were had before one of the best lunchs I’ve ever had the pleasure of consuming were brought to us. Our enjoyment of the day was only heightened by the quality of the food served.
The landlady was friendly and helpful from greeting us on our arrival, serving us our last drink and greeting us with coffee and orange juice before a full english breakfast in the morning.
Although the rooms are not en suite, the facilities are spotless and the room a joy. With my sea view the entire experience wasperfect from start to finish.
Whether you go for a pint, a meal or overnight, I strongly recommend you drive off the round-about in Shoreham and in to the car park and just treat yourself!
