“Great place to get all Indian stuff (spices, breakfast preps, snacks, groceries, indian vegetables, curry items, masalas, legumes, groceries, pooja stuff, dry fruits, sauces, idli dosa batter, etc..) Tomatoes and few other vegetables are generally cheaper and better in Krishna store.. Service and staff is great! Recommended place for sure..”

“Excellent & varied quality fruit veg & plants. Service with a smile & a bit cheeky, but makes shopping in Tonys a pleasant experience but principally the quality of his produce some of which is local is great.”

“Brilliant local convenience store, more like a mini supermarket really. Wide range of Caribbean, Asian, Turkish etc products and seasonings. Great fresh herbs and decent fresh produce. Their meat is excellent quality too and the shop is very, very clean. Customer service is wonderful and they have great sweets, chocolate, ice cream and booze too . Pia accept card and cash you can't really go wrong. If you pop in you won't be disappointed.”

“A nice Sunday Lunch after a stroll around the scenic surroundings that Downe has to offer, cosy feel pub, with a big open fire to warm up beside, lovely food, good value for money, and pleasant staff, all washed down with a glass or two of wine!”

“Friendly, helpful staff and delicious food, equals a good experience. Took a trip here with the family and quite impressed with some of the food on offer. The interior is cozy, and rustic and combined with the staff makes for an inviting and chilled environment. Starting with the bad, the drinks are a little on the small side and don't really match the price well and that's all. As for the food no complaints. My family tried the following starters calamari rings which where really good, fresh by the tastes of it and the batter was nice fluffy and crispy. Homous (my brother described as satisfying which paired well with the bread, which itself was delicious and made the humous even better), falafel (light and moist in the middle) and the lamb with almonds (also pretty nice). As for mains these where all really good, personally for someone like myself the portions could have been just a tad bigger, but as we came during the lunchtime and got these on offer they where worth the price tag. I myself tried the sea bass which was crispy on the outside but light and fluffy on the inside. My brother had the chicken minced kebab which was nice and you could tell it was flame grilled which gave that extra something. As for the parents I think they picked the real winner which was the lamb ribs, despite the slightly small portion was easily the tastiest thing on the table. Good seasoning and cooked just right on the grills these are what I recommend to a first time visitor. Overall a solid experience and worth dropping by.”

“Great place for brunches. Lots of space, good quality food. Ability to order from table makes topping up easy. Staff are really helpful, already made a second trip!”

“We are delighted I am with our new kitchen. The finish is excellent and your fitters were courteous and professional. Their timekeeping was excellent and they dealt calmly with the inevitable problems which arise in these situations. I was most impressed with their professional skills and the quality of their work. It is always stressful to have people working in one's home, but they helped to make the process as smooth and painless as it could be.”

“Love this place. Decent cafe with a decent choice on the menu. Have come here several times. Had an overcooked Spanish omelet today. Certainly did not enjoy.”

“We use the Daylight’s function room every week for a business networking meeting. The staff are helpful and welcoming. As we are there it would be rude not to stop for the occasional working lunch, and I have to say I haven’t been disappointed. I had a particularly lovely wrap that I will be revisiting soon. - Chris Bensted, Your friendly local Business Coach”

“Always well stocked and presented, staff are quite active and attentive, easy layout means everything is easy to find. Don't see the manager on the floor much, seen him once in the year or so I've been coming here, that was to open a till when they were busy, although the lady did have to ring 4 or 5 times lol very happy with the shop, enjoy coming here to shop. Also has air con!”

“I went in to Iceland today, my ms was giving me trouble so was draining to shop and get buses. Some angel of a lady who works there I think her name is Laura but not 100 percent noticed I wasn't right plus noticed I was upset and this beautiful human being offered to pay for a cab for me , what a kind caring and compassionate lady we had a moment and I will never forget her heart. I declined the cab but the amazing man who stands by the door pushed my trolly to the bus stop. I jst want to say thankyou I Will remember your empathy and kindness and just want to let you know your both amazing ❤️”
