Nice coffee table

Advantages: stylish, good quality, perfect size, reasonable price
Disadvantages: sore to stub your toe on!

...As one of those people who had a really old, proper wood coffee tables (it became a sanding experiment gone bad!), I didn't fancy going for a completely modern glass type one. I first came across the Nexus range at the sale in Macdonald's furniture, and decided to go for the coffee table and the lamp table in light oak. The range is also available in chestnut. I think the oak looks better in small spaces as it's a lighter colour - the glass panel in the middle also helps to give the feeling of space in a room. In my opinion, the table is stylish yet not in a way that will make it ever look outdated. It measures H41cm x W129cm x D62cm and has stylish slotted joints and a smoky glass insert and was apparently designed by a British designer. It is constructed from mostly oak veneer and some solid oak. It's easy enough to push around...

Our Table Table at Carlisle Bordergate

Advantages: Unique design works well, quality pub food, reasonable prices.
Disadvantages: Close proximity to motorway makes outdoor eating a no no for me, tiny loo's.

...A couple of weeks ago, my parents and I, along with my children, decided we would go out for a bar meal. We've all been quite busy recently and it's been quite a while since we got together like this. We decided to go to a place we knew pretty well, which was reliable and child friendly. Knowing it as it's former name, 'The Carrow House', and more recently 'The Border Gate' and part of the Brewers Fayre chain we headed off. Arriving, we where surprised to see it had been taken over again, and completely refurbished, now under the name '"Table Table'" About Table Table This isn't a chain I personally have ever come across before, indeed didn't realise it was actually part of the same company as Brewers Fayre. Part of The Whitbread Chain, Table Table has a more up-market feel than it's sister chain Brewers Fayre. Table...

I'd recommend a table at Table Table!

Advantages: Food presentation, good seating and decor, portion size, quality of food, vegetarian dishes
Disadvantages: Temperature of the restaurant, long waiting time, extras that weren't stated

...Yesterday was my dad's birthday, and for the evening we decided it would be a good idea to go out as a family to Table Table for our dinner. So after getting ready and changing into my Ark Clothing dress that I'd bought a couple of months ago, but hadn't got round to wearing, we made our way to the restaurant - at around 6:15. The Exterior When we got there it was around 6:30, and the six of us - My dad, my mom, my sister, my grandma, my grandad and me - made our way inside the restaurant to take our seats and wait for my auntie and uncle to arrive. The outside of the restaurant was very typical, but very nice looking. There were two, maybe three, benches outside for people to sit on in the nice weather if they decided to, and I pointed out to my mom that it looked like a restaurant you'd see abroad. I'm not actually sure why...

The Captains Table, Molyvos, Lesvos.

Advantages: Wonderful food, service, with great view.
Disadvantages: Nothing to write about.

...Google ?The Captain?s Table? Lesvos and you can read the following: ?The Captain?s Table is reputed to be one of the finest of its kind in all Greece - don?t just take our word for it - see what ?The Lonely Planet?, ?The Rough Guide?, and the famous American ?Frommers? and numerous other international guide books have to say.? We have just been to Lesvos for two weeks and we ate at The Captains Table 6 nights out of the 14 and 1 night we could not get a table. I add that we where a group of 7 of us so finding a table for 2 is a lot easier. During the course of our stay we must have had everything on the menu. They have a special every day of the week, salmon, hake, stuffed pork. Our menu and cost for one evening was as follows: Mushroom a le grec, which Ann and Dougie had and Ann had each night we went. Tzatziki...

Review of Table Mountain (South Africa)

Conscience Coffee

Advantages: Fairtrade, ethical business, reasonable product
Disadvantages: Bit bland, not full bodied as rivals or real ground coffee

...I really love the taste and smell of fresh ground coffee, especially from Colombia or Costa Rica. There is a richness and distinctive aroma as you open the pack which just sets the taste buds tingling???..Alas, all too often it is simply not practical or best use of time to indulge in real brewed coffee so instant must suffice. Unfortunately in this sector of the beverage market price is often indicative of quality, and premium brand instant coffees almost always taste better than the standard or economy offerings. Having experienced enjoyable cups of Percol Fresh Ground Colombian Coffee I had high expectations from the instant variety: even more so since it was on offer at just over £2 for a 100g jar making it very competitive against other premium brands. The packaging with it?s familiar green green hue and prominent Fairtrade...

Table Football. A good game

Advantages: Good game. Fun. Good Graphics.
Disadvantages: Takes some getting used to

...Ok so i wasnt too sure about tis game at first. Im not the best at table football on an actual table, so playing it in simulation did'nt seem the best idea, but something was telling me to give it a go. I was not too sure wether it would work well on screen and how the controls would work. But i have to say im pleasantly surprized that this is actually a good game. Main Features: Fast paced table football action Create your own team of Table Football players Play using official rules or create bespoke rules to suit the game Partnership with ITSF Play on official tables Firstly you are greeted with a set of options enabling you to set-up games using any of the Table footballing rule sets, you may select to play from a number of pitches, also deciding you're team, the opponents and the weight/ material of the ball you wish...

Coffee with a Conscience?

Advantages: Good taste, cheap, sustainable development.
Disadvantages: Air miles?

...The particular Kenco instant coffee I am writing about is their 'Sustainable Development' variety. I could have asked Ciao to allow me to review this as a new product as this particular 'flavour' has not been reviewed, but as plenty of Kenco reviews exist I thought it would be okay (and less greedy) to simply review it in this category. I don't drink coffee much as I see it as a treat and I like my coffee strong enough for the spoon to stand up in, with (I use Elmlea light) cream. I also like it so hot it burns my lips, which is probably not too good for me, hence, the rare treat. Sustainability: I first tried this brand and type out about 6 months ago and was attracted to the fact that it boasts a 'Rainforest alliance' certificate and aids local farmers earn a fair deal. In fact the coffee comes from a cooperative in El Salvador...

Coffee with my Tea!

Advantages: delicious, quite cheap
Disadvantages: coffee doesn't appeal to as much

...Drinking a cup of coffee for me is a rare thing. I will decide on a cup maybe once every six months but even then when I drink it I am left with an awful headache and I feel quite sick too. However I love any food product which tastes of coffe - thats a total different ball game! Whether its coffee revels, coffee cake or coffee cream, I love it! I was shopping for my dad at Tesco when I stopped in the cake aisle to pick up his Kiplings. My Dad loves Mr Kipling cakes but to be honest I am not ovely excited by them nowadays. However I did I notice a selection of Tescos madeira cakes which I feltl ooked a bit more appetizing!: lemon, cherry, marble, coffee! Oh wow, coffee cake! I hadn't had in ages, not since my Grandma and I baked one a few years back. I checked the price - £1.29. That seemed quite pricey, but it was a fair size, quite...
