Ciao Burger doesn't really offer much more than any of the others nearby. Their burgers and chips are straight down the middle when it comes to taste and price. The staff don't really talk much, but are efficient and cope well with the 4am rush. My best bet would be to try one of the pizza places further on, much nicer and better value for money.

We used to love this place and make it a must whenever we are back visiting Clifton. Sadly, the…read moreservice is just terrible now. The employees simply seem miserable, like they don't want to be there. Champ was dry, one set of sausages hot outside, cool inside. Tried to pop in another evening for a late drink (about 9pm) and were shooed out, saying they were closing early to non-reservations. Just really felt like they didn't care or want patrons. Won't be returning - sausage and mash should be comforting, not off putting.

The Sausage delivers awesome food - every time. The sausages are their speciality but the menu…read moreconstantly evolves - duck, venizen, pheasant. You need to book really far in advance and you need to be prepared to spend a little bit more money here. Think around £40 for two. Going out for sausage and mash may seem a little bizarre, seeing as you could cook it yourself at home, but i think it is the little extras that make a trip to the Clifton Sausage worthwhile.

As if that wasn't enough it hosts live music certain nights and quiz nights. It once hosted a Doctor Who themed quiz night. If that's not enough to please you then I don't know what will! I was luckily enough to go to a staff party in their function room upstairs with a full bar. The whole mood and atmosphere is very relaxed and we all had an excellent time there. They even supplied us with their food. They food looks unique and tastes incredible. Although I was confused to deciding whether what I was eating was a roasted parsnip or a well cooked French fry. To this day I still don't know what it was. This bar is a great place to hang out in groups. It's a friendly place that offers a variety of cocktails and it has a happy hour. The only thing that brings it down slightly is the prices like it's sisters Buffalo and Mr Smith's. So prepare to dig a little deeper in your wallet. 10 Feet Tall is a wonderful bar where you can enjoy a lunch or have great night out with all the events that they host. Just be warned you may spend a little much. I would go after pay day!

I'm a real fan of this place, even if they have no idea what a Cosmopolitan is. They've never got…read moreit right, but the resulting drinks are always drinkable, at least. This bar opened just before I went away to New Zealand and it has been a very pleasant rediscovery on my part. Great nights have been had here, and as I'm not really a fan of just getting too drunk, this is a wonderful place to get tipsy and chat about the Enlightenment. Atmosphere really is the thing that sets this bar apart from others in the surrounding area. And atmosphere is the one thing that keeps bringing me and my cohorts back time and time again. It's classy and funky without seeming snobbish in the slightest. Which is quite an achievement, I think. An excellent place for a night out, or the beginning of a night, if you're that way inclined. Best to get there a little earlier to claim the seats and fill up on tapas.

I love Cosmos, although admittedly sometimes my eyes are too big for my stomach (this tends to…read morehappen at all buffets I go to, unfortunately). NOTES: ~ This review is based on my experience on a Saturday night, so it was relatively busy. Ambiance: This place is really clean and fancy. It could get pretty crowded so I recommend calling ahead to make a reservation if need be (for large parties). Thankfully, I only had a party of 2 so it was pretty easy to accommodate and needed to wait only about 15 minutes or so. On the inside, with all the glitz and glamour, Cosmo is definitely made for a special night out to treat yourself every now and again. Customer Service: From what I've seen, before you go in while you're still in the queue, they could get a bit short with you and impatient. However once you finally sit down, the staff is attentive and respectful. I guess just grit your teeth through the service until you finally get in? Food: This is why I love Cosmo. It goes for a pan-Asian Fusion experience with cuisine from all around the world - Chinese, Indian, etc. I'm a huge fan because I've been seriously lacking authentic non-Chop Suey Chinese food in Swansea and Cosmo definitely delivers. My recommendations: ~ Potstickers. They're little nuggets of meat wrapped in flour and pan-fried. Delicious and juicy on the inside. The chef here does some of the best potstickers I've had! ~ Duck w/ Pancakes. Get it with Hoisin Sauce (a brown slightly sweet thick sauce), cucumber, and wrap it all up in a pancake. Delicious! ~ They make really really good battered chicken on a stick. ~ The queue for large dishes such as the lobster, salmon, etc takes a VERY long time so it depends whether or not you want to go. It's really well made though and fresh. ~ Get the dim sum. They're in round wooden containers and the custard buns are delicious. I'd definitely come here again.

The food…read morewasn't just your typical british-asian food, there were some more interesting authentic dishes, I'm honestly sick of asian restaurants and takeaways serving a version of asian food that couldn't be farther from the real thing. There was a wide selection of Indian and Chinese food to choose from, I assume there is more of a selection in the evening too. The food wasn't 5/5 but it was definitely what I'd expect when I'm paying £6.50. The drinks are quite expensive, however beer is at a relatively normal price which is a positive! Overall I'd come here again, in fact I look forward to it and trying out the other options they have.

It provides me with the opportunity to stock up on some great organic veg and meat as well as some great jams and local honey.

The prices are incredibly cheap considering the quality of the stock available. The Farmers Market isn't as cheap, but the quality of the goods is second to none!
