Lively in Grays

“We're so in love with our reupholstered vintage chairs and bespoke sofa. We get so many compliments on them! Anthony helped realise our 'vision' and has not only created these beautiful pieces but has helped us source other pieces of vintage and antique furniture for our new home! Thank-you!”

“After our recent experience with Medivet, I'm happy to drive 20 miles to this practice. Medivet were trying to push us towards paying 8k in overnight drip stays and liver shunt surgery when our little guy was dying from wet FIP. The lovely nurse that dealt with us spotted the tell tales on the first visit and went above and beyond, even ringing me at 8pm on a Friday night to discuss his bloods results.”

“We bought our bed from mcf. Mr Ashraf is the sale person who served us. He is excellent sales person. He explained everything with every individual details. Which a child could understand. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. We are very pleased with his hospitality too.”

“Been going here since my daughter has been born. Now she's four & she still loves it. Since Covid/lockdown the cafe has changed owners & it is a massive improvement, better menu, much cleaner inside & outside. They have taken the bins directy outside the cafe which means a lot less bloody wasps. We just had a portion of chips, which argubly was a bit exspensive but they were very nice & the portion was big. The beach was & always is very clean, there is now a new play ship built which my daughter loved. Over the past year they have built a splash park with fountains etc. Again my daughter loved it, it was managed & kept clean very well. There is a small cost £2.70 for 25minites or £5 for an all day wrist band. Overall it was a good day at grays beach & its free, so whats better then that. Will defently be going back.”

“Popped in as we were in the area, hoping to get a microwave. Saw one online on offer. They run out of them ones but still had plenty more that didn't leave empty handed. Staff were lovely and all tills were being used, so no one was waiting a long time.”

“Great staff. Ordered a kitchen for delivery in Madia vale. Worked plans and measurements out without visiting site. A lovely girl named George couldn’t have been more helpful. Appreciate the help guys thank you.”

“Shopping”

“Great family run friendly taxi service.”

“It's a small co op, always get what you need. Don't expect super market more like better than corner shop.”

“I invested in Bethan Gray's Brogue leather coffee table a number of years ago and admire it in my living room every day. Beautiful piece and top class workmanship.”

“I went to Wanda Tattoo in london and I can say this was the best experience I have had. I walked in the front door and it was beautiful, abstract work everywhere and I was greeted by a lovely gentleman who offered me refreshments. I sat down they talked to me about my tattoo and reassured me that everything was going to be amazing as this was my first tattoo. Wanda was so excited for me to finally have my dream come true and helped every step of the way, if it wasn’t for Wanda I wouldn’t have found the perfect artist for my idea. The whole experience in the studio was so peaceful, I felt welcomed and had amazing people around me offering me food and refreshments. Now onto the tattoo… IT IS AMAZING! Honestly the design, detail everything about it is perfect, it looks beautiful. The design looks better than I could imagine and I’m so proud to show it off to the world! I would honestly recommend Wanda Tattoo, you get a lovely person who shares the same passion you do for your design, helps every step of your journey to make sure your happy, and most importantly she is the most caring person I have met. If you want a tattoo place that you can trust, feel welcomed and most importantly get an amazing tattoo I would definitely recommend!”

“Super tasty food, fresh and delicious. And, not pricey at all. Will come again. Recommended.”

“Served by a lady named Michelle who was so helpful Happy nothing was too much trouble for her . I would certainly recommend her for 5 stars.”

“Great service, lovely staff. Always pleasant to buy from there.”

“Tried to use self service dog wash for my boy today who has spinal condition, can be very stubborn and extra large breed. So unfortunately couldn't get him in the bath as he is too heavy to lift. Staff were very helpful and understanding and gave me refund no questions asked. Staff explained fully how to use machine and machine seemed very user friendly just shame couldn't get my boy in it. Definitely recommend for other people to try, that doesn't have x-large breed that requires lifting. Great customer service.”

“Iv had two tattoos and two piercings at this shop! They are all absolutely amazing. They make you feel so welcome and help with nerves very well! My friend came with me today to get her first tattoo and they were very precise about insuring she knows all the bits and bobs for aftercare! Quality and service is 10000/10. Would definitely recommend”

“The place is lovely and the food was amazing. The staff are welcoming and Jamal took care of us. He was very helpful and respectful and we really liked him. The way the food was presented was very posh and is nothing we have had experienced before. We most definitely going to come back and we highly recommended to everyone.”

“Lovely guy and good value for a nice and fresh look”

“I got my second tattoo from Lal today, was a great experience, the staff are so friendly and I couldn't have asked for a better quality of finished tattoo. Thank you guys, Will be back :) Also, Dave did an awesome job on my new tattoo, would highly recommend.”

“Like a scene from a Guy Richie movie. It’s your typical east London greasy spoon, only in Essex. Very friendly staff, spotlessly clean and great grub. I’d recommend it”

“We have been using Turner & Pooch for over 5 years both in Upminster & now in Shenfield and they have always provided an excellent service. They are friendly, reliable and go the extra mile. Mike is so kind and patient with our dogs, Nikki is super efficient and knows all your requirements and goes out of her way to help. We have our raw food supplied by them, our dog’s walked daily and now use them for holiday house/dog sitting - Becky left our house spotless and the dogs very happy. We highly recommend their services.”

“Super friendly, helpful & efficient staff. Food is excellent, super tasty and great value for money. In the last three weeks I’ve introduced two people to Tortilla’s, now they’re addicted. Just like me.”

“Served by a very helpful staff member. She searched the system to find the correct item we wanted. Would definitely go there again.”

“We have been served by Mr Roger, and he is super helpful, professional and definitely an expert sales! We have made the decision super quickly and definitely love our sofa!”

“Saw a wonderful performance of an amazing musical by the brilliant amateur dramatic society TOPS. A host of excellent individual and ensemble portrayals in the peculiarly British musical "Betty Blue Eyes". And performed in a fast disappearing peculiarly British venue - a proper local theatre, arts and community resource. This is entertainment worth "getting off your bottom" for! Go and support it before it's lost forever.”

“Delicious sushi, very fresh ingredients - fish was exquisite. Very impressed. We had the sushi sharer platter for two, will be coming back and planning to show my colleagues this place as we work nearby. Decent price for good sushi in London. Cool venue too with a streety-vibe, and very friendly staff.”

“First time at WM, mainly because their wasn't a huge queue to get in. Great food, will visit again.”

“Nice food & friendly staff definitely worth a visit”

“Always fully stocked, always clean, staff always polite and is a great sized store with toilets and car wash!”
