The White Hart, Lincoln

Advantages: Good setting, salubrious interior
Disadvantages: expensive, poor service

...Despite living in Lincoln, I have only the one experience of the White Hart. My cricket club had it's annual presentation dinner there last year. Location Set in the beautiful, historic uphill Bailgate area in the city centre, The White Hart is in the shadow of the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral. This means it is in the upmarket area of the city, meaning that the prices are higher than if it were elsewhere in the city. Prices It has to be said that the prices are high. We paid £27 for the ticket and this included a 3 course meal and nothing else. At the bar before I bought a round of drinks (two pints of lager and a large glass of white) and it came to a shade over £10. This, to me is quite expensive. Food The food was not the highest quality - indeed for the price we paid it was distinctly below average. The starter...

Review of The White Hart, Lincoln

The wonderful White Hart

Advantages: Great food and lovely place
Disadvantages: Only 1 of them!

...The White Hart, Lydgate, Manchester Going back many many moons (well okay approximately 10 years) the White Hart Inn in Lydgate was your bog standard, not very nice run of the mill typical English pub. It was then purchased by two nice gentlemen; one an extraordinarily talented chef and the other a wonderful business man and hey presto 10 years later you have one of the most thriving 'gastro pubs' in the country that people travel for miles around to come and eat at and has won award upon award. This is a wonderful place to drink and eat where the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the food is excellent and the surroundings spectacular. Where is it? The White Hart Inn is located in Lydgate Saddleworth and is approximately 15 miles from city centre Manchester and is only about 10 minutes drive from the M62 and is not far...

White Hart Hotel in Lincoln

Advantages: Close to Historical Landmarks, Friendly Staff, Good Rooms, Stylish
Disadvantages: Expensive Breakfast, Some parts need Refurbishment

...I am writing his review from my White Hart hotel room and in my opinion this is quite an above average hotel. I arrived here with my family (Mum and Dad) yesterday. It was pretty easy to find and get here from Leeds where we spent the day out, just off the A15, but in the next 2 hours when we check out we will be taking the A46 to return home (Reading). The hotel provides their own parking just round the side of the hotel, with a small bay which cars strictly shouldn't stay in at all, but seems to be used by taxis to drop people off. Upon arrival we were greeted by very pleasant reception staff who knew a lot about the local area. Asking about local restaurants they informed us about the various Italian, Mexican, Thai, Chinese, English Pubs and all about the restaurant they have which was very helpful. Even though a fair few must...

Review of The White Hart, Lincoln

The Flood by Ian Rankin

Advantages: Good story, enjoyable writing and exciting ending
Disadvantages: No epilogue

...Background I'm sure most people have heard of this author Ian Rankin through the Rebus books and television series. This was however my first experience of his work. About the Author Ian Rankin was born in Fife, Scotland in 1960. He is the UK's Number 1 selling crime author. So far he has written 27 novels, of which his most successful have been the Rebus books. His first novel was indeed 'The Flood', which originally was planned for Radio 4's Short story section but was considered too long so Rankin converted it into a novel instead. He has received many awards for his work including an OBE in 2002 for his services to literature. The Storyline of the book The book is set in a small Scottish town called Carsden. Whose traditional industry of coal mining was closing down due to it being uneconomic to mine there any...

Review of Macdonald White Hart Hotel, Salisbury

Beth Hart - she's more than just a screaming tirade of songs

Advantages: Extremely distinctive vocals, even unforgettable; some quality tracks
Disadvantages: 2nd half of the album tails off a bit in some respects

...CD Review: ?Screamin' For My Supper? ? Beth Hart (1999) Beth Hart? Isn?t she a little more rockier than your usual fare? Well, yes, she is ? regular readers of my reviews will have by now detected that I?m fond of Americana, roots, alt-blues, alt-country and alt-folk female singer-songwriters, with the odd shot of electronica thrown in for good measure, but I?ve also been known to supplement this diet quite often with hefty slices of out and out rock, especially when they come complete with an absolutely killer of a voice ? just like Beth Hart?s whiskeyed-tones. Tell the truth, though, I wasn?t entirely sure I?d go for this album as much as I did ? it initially sounded too much like ?rock? for my tastes. However, dipping in a track at a time recently, I?ve come to love it ? and now wonder why I ever doubted Beth?s talents...

Marble Hart Ltd House signs Stunning!

Advantages: Brilliant service, quick to deliver, very helpful.
Disadvantages: having to purchase fixings seperately

...Searching.... Having just completed building our new house I wanted a sign that would look the part, so I set about looking on the internet, and in the garden centres to try and find something that would be fitting. The Company. I ended up on good old E-bay searching one evening and found a company called Marble Hart, they had a massive 6700 100% feedbacks so I thought that they must be ok to deal with and started my search. The Company are based in Nottingham, They have a website www.marblehart.com Price Price was the most important thing, as I could not afford to spend lots of money, but on the other hand I wanted something stunning for my pennies, and of good quality. I also wanted a big sign that could be seen from the road, but did not look tacky! I did not want wood, or plastic I wanted something of quality, well I found...

IAN BROWNS THE GREATEST!

Advantages: EVERYTHING YOU COULD ASK FOR FROM HIS SOLO CAREER
Disadvantages: NO ROSES, NOT EVEN ANY CHOCOLATES!

...with each single. Nor is it the Ian Brown of yesteryear, with his Stone Roses counterparts fighting for the fan and his ever challenged wallet. No, this is a new era Ian Brown with units to shift. The question is, will he with the DVD? Sure, the die hard fans will rush out to get their hands on it like it was a free pint on a Saturday night. In all honesty though, it is an awesome line up of tracks. With the 6 live performances added to ensure anybody who already had all the videos rushed out to but the DVD, I?m pretty sure that yes, it will sell. Admittedly, most of the videos offer up nothing new and contain nothing more than predictable but nevertheless enjoyable promos. I can?t help but wonder why Brown couldn?t have taken a heads up from U.N.K.L.E. who often produce outstanding videos for their material. Hey! Whatcha gonna do...

Review of Greatest, The - Ian Brown

Ian Brown's Greatest Hits

Advantages: Perfect collection of contemporary music
Disadvantages: Could be seen as repetitive because of the large number of tracks

...Never a person to dissapoint, this album offers a brilliant insight into the lyrical and musical talent that is Ian Brown, presenting some of his most renound tracks such as "F.E.A.R" and "My Star" in a well produced collection. The clear and obvious upside to this CD is the fact that it not only summarises Ian Brown's uncommon genre of music and taste, but it also provides a contemporary twist on what could be considered tracks worthy of his former band, The Stone Roses. The music on this CD is most definately creative, with a wide variety of instruments and mechanically engineered sounds implemented into many of the tracks. This could be considered a bad point by many people but in this instants it is a passable act because of the way the tracks have been recorded and layered in the studio. A slightly negative attribute...
