The Epsom Playhouse is Epsom's local theatre. Located at the back of the Ashley Centre complex, it…read morehas good parking facilities nearby as well as access to the collection of restaurants and pubs on South St if you don't fancy eating at the theatre's own cafe. Typical for a local theatre, there's a lively collection of different types of shows, ranging from professional productions to local scout groups' gang shows. Over the years, I've enjoyed laughing to Greg Proops (from Whose Line is It Anyway), singing and gesturing along merrily to Sing-a-long Sound of Music, watching box office films and attending ballet and orchestra performances. If you plan to attend regularly, you can become a member and get reduced ticket prices. Local theatre is always worth a look

I'm reviewing Los Amigos Mexican restaurant, not the nearby cafe, which incidentally is also owned…read moreby the same company Having heard some good things from friends, I decided to give Los Amigos a try. As there isn't parking in the immediate vicinity, I strolled down They have tried to create a Mexican feel with sombreros hanging up everywhere Perhaps the best thing is their comprehensive menu of proper cocktails. During Happy Hour, the regular cocktails are all £3.50. My virgin pina colada was good and my friend was happy with her Singapore Gin Sling We shared a tostada to start - chorizo and prawns were served on a corn cracker with pinto beans. The toppings were nice though the guacamole didn't taste homemade. The waiter had failed to ask how I wanted my rib eye cooked and I waited until he was about to leave the table before telling him. Could do better there. The steak lacked the normal bone that rib eye has but was quite flavourful. The pepper sauce was quite glutinous. My friend's salmon was overcooked by a lot and the pairing with bearnaise sauce tasted a bit odd So a brave attempt to introduce a new genre of food to Epsom but only an average dining experience.

I must preface this review by telling you I am a Tex-Mex snob. I am not proud of it, but it is the…read moretruth. Having said that, I won't be returning to Los Amigos as I was fairly disappointed with the food. My husband and I visited for dinner and tried several dishes. To start, we ordered the tortilla dips and chips and the stuffed jalapeño peppers. The chips were slightly stale and the salsa was more like a sweet tomato sauce. The stuffed jalapeño peppers were good, but they could have been deep fried from a frozen product. For our mains, we had the chicken fajitas and the chicken nachos. The nachos had the same issues as the chips and salsa with the chicken tasting more Spanish than Tex-Mex. The fajitas were cooked okay, but must have had the same Spanish-rice type seasoning as the nachos... which really killed the flavour, in my opinion. I also tried the regular margarita, for which I had high hopes (thinking this could at least be a solid post-work drinks spot.) Sadly, the margarita was made with a mix and had only the one redeeming quality of a well-salted rim. I would have gladly paid another £1 or £2 for a margarita made from scratch- especially at a Tex Mex restaurant! All this said, I do not recommend this restaurant and suggest you go to Wimbledon for either Chiptole or Wahaca for your Tex-Mex cravings.

This year was my second Derby Day spent on The Hill in the middle of Epsom Racecourse. It has to be…read morethe best free family fun day you can get, all for the price of a train ticket down to the course (we actually went down for a birthday so the daytime celebrations continued well into the early morning in Sutton)! I watched every single race, and there's nothing more fun than choosing a horse in the race guide and standing up with the rest of the crowd to cheer it on. My bets are only virtual, my cousin put down £14 and got back £5.80, but I prefer to spend my money in the rows of markets with fresh food, clothes, and other bits and pieces. You can get the usual greasy fun fair food, but we took our own picnic, including picnic blankets and sun shade tents - yeah we actually got a bit of a tan despite the few black menacing clouds! There are lots of rides within the racecourse, although the bigger ones are set up on the outside, and there's a huge music stage as well as karaoke performers throughout the market. The one thing I don't like is at the end of the day when everyone leaves the place looking like a pigsty, I mean c'mon the only reason they employ rubbish collectors is because the public are lazy and uncaring. It doesn't take 30 seconds to carry your rubbish bags to the big skips they have there. Just bin it!
