James has done several jobs for our village hall. We are very happy with the standard and quality of James' work. He is reliable, tidy, knowledgeable and friendly. His charges are reasonable too - thoroughly recommended.

James is a rare find. He's great at his job and he cares more about it being done well than you do. Cheerful, diligent, ever so reliable, really good at explaining and advising plus fair fees mean we always go to James.

Efficient, resolved electrical issues in a timely fashion. Explained what needed to be done before starting the work and explained in depth what was done. Great work.

Great... knows what he's doing and does a great job. I've used James several times at home and at work, and I'm currently sorting out another job with him. Highly recommended!

I was delighted with the quality of service provided. James helped connect a new electric towel heater and install an external socket at my home. Great job, very thorough and efficient. You wouldn’t have even known he was here afterwards - super clean and tidy. Would highly recommend and definitely use again for any electrical work!

We booked LJH in for PAT testing and some additional sockets for our business. Lawrence was really friendly and helpful, clearly knows his stuff! We left him to it whilst we were out and he left no trace of any mess after he left. Will definitely use again, highly recommended. Thankyou

Fabulous electrician, Great Friendly service and amazing attention to detail. Earlier this year (2024) Lawrence replaced my fuse board in my shop. He also cut down the amount of circuits that were in my shop from 8 to 4, as there was circuits that were not being used. So they got stripped out. Professionalism was outstanding. Thank you.

I had a podpoint EV charger installed, Lily arranged the installation and even moved jobs around to make the installation time convenient to fit my working hours. Alex and Harvey performed the installation very neatly, they were punctual, efficient and made things stress free! They were super knowledgeable and explained everything to me to make the installation and use as smooth as possible! I can not recommend Weber electrical enough! Thank you guys!

We had our car charger fitted by the owner of the company, John. I have to say it is not often I have work done and can find no fault with it, but the installation is excellent. It is a very neat job and John was very courteous and professional and I will certainly look to use him again whether at home or for business.

John and Paul provided a competitive price for a number of jobs for me. Their professionalism is second to none. WEBA have installed outside and inside lights, sockets, connections for treatment plants and installed an electric car charger. They are very clean and tidy contractors I would highly recommend.

Really good communication from start to finish and a quick, tidy installation. Most impressed by the fact that from initial enquiry, to installed charger was less than a week! Would highly recommend...

We needed to install smoke alarms in our daughter’s rental property-a relatively small job but important. We found Finn on Checkatrade and we’re very impressed with the reviews. Finn responded straightaway to our initial enquiry and gave us a quote. We arranged a date and time with the tenant and we met Finn at the property as arranged. The installation was very professional-quick and very tidy, and the alarms were fully tested. Can’t thank Finn enough and would highly recommend him

Now this, is a proper professional. Finn came in early with his coworkers and got the job done in no time. No hassles, no arguments, no nonsense. After suffering a horrible experience with another local tradesperson, this was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend F.B Electrical! Definitely be using them again. Thank you Finn. Update: We had our kitchen ripped out last Monday and I needed an electrian Tuesday before plastering on Wednesday. I phoned Finn as he has done previous work for us to see if he can come over, he was able to move his other jobs around to help and was here for half a day sorting the problems that needed doing, my kitchen has been fitted and he moved my one and only isolation switch I had for my oven and hob in one of my cupboards instead of it on show like it was. (See picture) He gave me an isolation switch for my oven, hob and fridge in one of my very small cupboards, and I now have two sockets where the old isolation switch was, We had an very old extension lead for the extractor fan lying on top of the kitchen wall cupboards which wasn't ideal, he put a nice socket in my extractor fan cupboard too. He also fitted a bathroom light, hall light and bedroom light aswell as updating my wall sockets in the kitchen, bedroom and lounge. I'm sure Finn did alot more that I haven't mentioned. Also instead of putting wires for my hob out side on show, he managed to feed them under the floorboards where there wasn't any tiles into the fuse box. Highly recommend, Great work and very tidy. Thanks again Finn, we really appreciate your hard work especially in 29° heat! ☀️

Recommended by some friends who live locally. Extensive menu, although it was pizza night so we chose off that menu. Very tasty, and the side portions (chips, onion rings, garlic bread) were HUGE! Great selection of drinks as well. Does seem to be busy, so may be an idea to book ahead. Planning a return visit for a Sunday Roast! 😁

Stayed in Marnhul for a midweek break, this the local pub. A great social hub. Locals friendly and welcoming. Landlord and staff were great. A special thanks to Mark for looking after us and the dog. It's not very often you get a really good and varied menu nowadays in a pub. This was both. We ate every night and the quality was outstanding. We had a great time.Thanks very much

Booked the Plough for my daughter’s 21st Birthday. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. We had a variety of dishes cod and chips, mixed grill, steak, wellington and Jamaican Christmas Cake. The food was fantastic. Served quickly and efficiently. The pub was beautifully decorated for Christmas, such a warm and welcoming atmosphere all round. Would definitely highly recommend.

The Plough hosted my small running group for Sunday lunch today. It was our first time and we were absolutely delighted. A really lovely and atmospheric pub with excellent food and great service. They could not have been more welcoming. The Chocolate Orange cheese cake was particularly good. Many thanks and will definitely be back. Lex

Good pub food, well priced. Used to go to this pub 50 years ago and it’s nearly as good again now as it was then. Took my 10 year old grandson and he was treated like an adult, which was nice! Had the rib eye steak, but we will be going back to try other things on the menu. 👍

During these Covid times, this has been very worrying for a shielder, but this pub has done everything great, we were sat outside under a marquee and I thought I’d be cold, but a gas heater was out by us, which was very warm and lovely, we had a drink and food, which all was delicious, it was so nice and warm, I was able to take my chunky cardigan off, due to being nice and toastie. The service was great, very polite and friendly, there is an outside bar and the beers were on tap, they do Earl Grey Tea, which I don’t like, so I had water, the good was presented well and was really nice, the atmosphere was great to, not many people and we all had our own table, I was able to be calm and not worry at all. It’s definitely a nice pub and the dogs made it for me, being a dog lover, very friendly and enjoyed a good cuddle.

We stopped in to while visiting from out of town. We spent a pleasant evening in the outdoor space in the back. We were there on Tuesday so no food was available. The bartender was very friendly. I had a beer and a gin and tonic. The gin and tonic was very nicely made. We enjoyed our time here.

Brilliant pub with a great range of drinks, unfortunately on our last visit there was not enough staff behind the bar and possibly due to this they could not switch lighting on outside. As a group of 6 there was nowhere to sit inside which meant we didn't stay as long as we had planned. We look forward to visiting again in the future as the atmosphere is the best in town.

So chuffed to have found this place, on our break to the New Forest. Food and drinks were fairly priced and delicious - produce was local and amazing quality. And it is dog friendly too, so we were able to bring our young pooch too. Fab find.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. There were a selection of tables both inside and out, and the menu offered a variety of foods and drinks, I wasn't expecting a place like this to offer a such a fantastic burger and chips, but they certainly did! Can honestly say that it's one of the best I've had in a long time. My wife had a salad, which was also delicious and filling. We sat for some time enjoying the atmosphere and reading our books, whilst helping ourselves to more tea and coffee. This is a lovely place to stop for food and drinks, and we would highly recommend!

This place is located at the top of Gold Hill with beautiful views over the valley. It was a beautiful day so we sat on the benches outside to soak in the beautiful views. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The menu had plenty of of options and the food was really tasty. If you’re a tourist looking for the feel of England, then definitely come here!

Whether your starting or completing a local walk or Cycle or Just visiting the town I can recommend The Poets cafe as a great cafe for Tea, Coffee or good english Breakfast. The cafe is named for its proximity to the former homes of Thomas Hardy and William Barnes among others and its current poet in Residence David Caddy. You will be hosted by Yasser who has owned the cafe for many years and is happy to answer any questions about touring or visiting the area. Ask him about the local wines... Well worth a visit,

Our office buys bacon sandwiches from here every Friday and they're always sensational! Highly recommend. We initially tried all the local cafes in the area and decided Poets Corner was the best.
