I have been reading the postings here for the last few months. They have been all bad, then just before Christmas 3 good reviews which were subsequently removed now a couple are back. Today someone has highlighted all the bad reviews as being suspect even though some of them have been posted for 12 months or more. Our experience in a nutshell - the inital stages were all positive, great service from the Lazaway team and we signed the contract. Work started but then all of a sudden when it came to finishing the pool work stopped for over two months. Nothing, no word from Lazaway, nothing. Numerous phone calls to Lazaway went unreturned, tried to ring our pool supervisor but had to switch off my caller ID on my mobile so he would answer. All I got was it would be finished soon, maybe two weeks and then this just kept getting put back. Eventually pool completed and happy with the end result but feel very let down and frustrated. I like many people have spent a lot of money and expected more from Lazaway. We could not find a cheaper price that Lazaway's quote but I will let you decide whether the stress is worth it. My advice to others if you decide to use Lazaway is have them complete the contract, do not sign it but take it to a Solicitor and have the solicitor write in a penalty clause for a late finshed pool, maybe $200 a week or similar. Then at least if it is late you will have some comeback on Lazaway. Some of the tradesmen Lazaway subcontracted to stated they would never work for them again as all they hear is complaints when they attend peoples houses. Just make sure you do your homework and know what you are up against before you sign.

My wife and I often go to Urban Grooves for lunch. Extensive choice on the menu and we have never had a bad meal - always very impressed. Can get very busy and noisy during dinner service so we only go now at lunchtime. It is not the place to go for a cheap meal but if you are prepared to pay a little more it is very enjoyable. We have always found the service to be good.

Nice and clean and friendly environment. The kids meals were great value and served quickly. Ours were very enjoyable and a decent size which meant we did not have sweets as we were full. Good beer served at the bar - overall a good experience and would recommend to others
