This bakery never disappoints. Local to me and everything is freshly baked daily.

Rating: 5 / 5

Where do I start with this bakery...other than fantastic! I have been going here for years now and have never been disappointed! Quality is spot on, quantity is spot on and prices have stayed very reasonable considering the increases recently. So you could say this review is an homage to the now 50 plus years this bakery has consistently been delivering top quality to it's loyal customers! I love a sub baguette, and my go-to choice is a BLT with mayo! It comes rammed with crispy bacon, juicy tomato and lettuce a plenty! Simply amazing. I also enjoy a hot sausage roll too...again very enjoyable! My go-to cakes are the bakewells though, I just love the almond and jam filled pastry! So, not been to this bakery yet? You're missing out! You have to go there...like now! Come on, grab ya coat and get on ya way down there! :D

The best bakery with the friendliest of staff with fabulous produce. I had the Christmas afternoon tea today and it was extremely good value with the tastiest sandwiches and delicious scones and cakes that you could wish for. As always the staff were friendly. Every visit I make to this bakery does not disappoint whether it's for coffee, breakfast, lunch or bakery goodies I enjoy what it has to offer. This is due to the choice, the price, the taste, the freshness and the friendly staff.

I use Magnum for all my electrical work. I’ve used many over the years being a house builder but these guys are by far the best in the business. Always on time, very professional and are great with my customers. They’re one of the few trades I feel comfortable leaving on site on their own to get the job done. Josh and Matt are very knowledgeable on all things electrical and have a great understanding of how other aspects of the building trade go. They’ve even carried out a few solar panels installations for me and they’ve been faultless. 100% recommend for any project big or small

Fantastic help to sort out our dysfunctioning electric underfloor heating system; the controls weren't installed properly, and we'd struggled with this for two years. Josh and his partner spent the morning working through the issues and by the process of elimination were able to sort the problem efficiently and quickly. Before and after photos. Lovely to have straight talking, honest, skilled, knowledgeable and trustworthy engineers.

The work was to install some ceiling downlighters to a bedroom and to enhance the control of three sets of outside lights. Josh arrived as arranged and I used his advice and experience on the best placement of the ceiling lights so that we can use it as a bedroom or an office. The area was sheeted up to contain the dust of overhead drilling and afterwards thoroughly vacuumed and left clean. The outside lights required investigation to establish the existing wiring and working out how to make the adjustment I was after without compromising the flexibility of the existing controls. The work in both areas was completed quickly and efficiently, with minimum disruption, and all the usual off cuts of wire cleared away and the areas left in a clean and tidy state. I have no hesitation in recommending Magnum Electrical - this is the third time I have used them.

Magnum did a fantastic job. We did a full refurb with extensions. Always polite and friendly, timely, thorough in work and responsive in communication. They provided excellent advice and consultation too. Great job! Would definitely use again.

Really nice relaxing environment with amazing cake 🍰 and a spot on cuppa. Certainly living up to the name of sweet cuppa would recommend you pop in.

What a beautiful little tea room - and so fabulous to have freshly baked cakes ( unlike many of the Carshalton tea rooms!). The owner literally mixed and baked brownies whilst we enjoyed our coffee and warm croissants. The smell was amazing! Everything reasonably priced too and small selection of gifts and birthday cards. Loved it! Only problem was that it wasn’t busy which meant the atmosphere could have been better. Will be spreading the word to get more people there.

Rating: 5 / 5

Amazing, cozy place! Coffee is great, food is delicious, staff are very friendly. Well decorated, lovely bits and pieces to get for someone special. Nice touch having children’s books for the little ones. Just a fab experience! Will definitely be back.

Rating: 5 / 5

Ostensibly, Sweet Cuppa is on top of the grandest, most versatile, and homely cafes I have visited. The ambiance of its immediate environment is subtly mesmerising, inviting, and aesthetically laid out to consciously compliment our organoleptic tendencies. Their menu is everything, and their products are to die for: you can never have enough of them, they are marvelously fantastic. I will always cherish my first visit to Sweet Cuppa, and I will be back more in the future.

We had an amazing evening a Casa Ponte from start to finish. We had a lovely welcome, the food was outstanding very typically Italian and a great atmosphere. Gina and all her lovely staff were very attentive, Gina came and chatted to us a few times making sure we were all looked after. Definitely one to go back to. Lovely shot of Limoncello to finish off our lovely meal. Thank you to all at Casa Ponte…

I love this place! Food is delicious, and genuinely Italian, which is rare. Menu is varied, portions are generous, wine list have a nice selection too. Staff is really friendly and helpful, atmosphere is lovely and Gina is such a warm, amazing hostess! Everyone looked very happy with their experience (we chatted with our table neighbours, who were regulars as well). Instead of the dessert we ordered a cheese platter for two, which was huge!! And delicious😍 I am already planning my next visits, and can't wait! Thank you to all the staff!

Quick service and efficient work carried very professionally. Very happy to employ Beeches Electrical again. Would give 10 stars 🌟 if I could.

Rating: 5 / 5

What a brilliant service! Tony (the owner) is so incredibly knowledgeable, and has potentially saved us 50% on our hot water bills, thanks to spotting a bodge wiring job that has been causing us aggravation for 5 years! Previous tradespeople have completely missed it. An initial assessment within 30 minutes of calling led to everything being sorted the next day (due to needing a part), all within an hour. Price was very reasonable - will definitely call upon Beeches Electrical again.

We have recently bought an older property in Sutton. Tom helped us with assessing the necessary electrical work, replaced the consumer unit, improved the safety through RCDs and earth wiring. Finally, he rewired the lighting circuit in the whole house! Tom works in a consultative manner and to good quality. 100% recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Tom is brilliant! After I posted the ad on checkatrade (to remove 2 old storage heaters and install new ones in my Let flat) he contacted me so quickly and offered to come to the flat have a look. He told me everything I need to know, very patient and professional. He even helped me to collect the heaters from the store (as delivery will be delay) and replaced it perfectly in such a short notice. Which really helpful in such cold weather. After that, he called me and let me know everything is fine. His price is very reasonable. He is very polite, professional and I already told him I will ask him for help whenever my Let flat has problem. Highly recommend!

Rating: 5 / 5

I found Tom via Checkatrade. He responded quickly and was there within the hour. He diagnosed the problem with our boiler and fixed our washing machine within a couple of hours. He returned a few days later with the part needed and we now have hot water. Thank you Tom! Highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Highly recommended!!! Tom did a great job providing an accurate quote. Everything was finished on time with no issues at all. He did install a new consumer unit with new sockets, switches, lights and Sauna heater for summer house!!! A certificate was issued on completion. Great job!

We needed to get a load of new lights fitted and also wanted electrics run out to our shed, so we got Charlie and co round to do the necessary, and they did a lovely job. In fact, whilst they were here, they also sorted out several other little problems round the house which had been niggling us ever since moved in (e.g. dodgy switches and sockets etc). Very pleased with the result and would not hesitate to use again, or to recommend.

Rein Electrical were friendly , professional and completed the works around our house to the highest standard. They helped with any questions i had and tidied up after their works. Would highly recommend

Rating: 5 / 5

Rein Electrical were able to attend a last minute request to install an electric cooker after moving into our flat. The team were so friendly, efficient and professional. They were more than happy to answer any questions I had and even provided some advice on what to expect when using the cooker for the first time. They tidied up after themselves and left my flat looking brand new (considering the moving in mess). High recommend them. I won’t be using anyone else!

Super efficient and professional. EICR & PAT testing for my short-let Airbnb properties. Will absolutely use again. Thanks Scott & Charlie

Called Dara Electrical following a constantly tripping RCD, said he would be with me within a few hours and got a text when he was 30 minutes away. After some fault finding it turned out it was my Dodgy DIY sockets fixed and done within the hour and at a good price. I would recommend and use Dara Electrical again

Rating: 5 / 5

Great service and really reasonable. I would heartily recommend.
