Contacted Richard to install electrical supply 240v and 110v) in my wood shop. He really knows his trade and did such a great job I used him for two further major electrical installs. Thoughtful, interactive and top quality in all he does. Can’t recommend him too highly.

Richard attended very promptly to resolve an "emergency" issue where my RCD kept switching everything off. Subsequently he came back and tidied up my garden electrics which were the root cause of the problem as well as changing my outside lighting. Prompt and efficient and pleased with the result.

We contacted Richard firstly to complete a electrical survey on the house we were purchasing and then again to carry out the works which included a full rewire, installation of a new fire alarm system, removal of old/obsolete wiring, alarm systems and more. Can't recommend him highly enough, he had a team working on the weekend to help get us into our new home faster. We expected to have to do a lot of clean up once they had finished so we're pleasantly surprised to find they had cleaned up and left virtually no remedial works for us to do. He was in constant contact throughout. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

We have used JPD Electrical Services on a number of occasions.Jason has replaced the consumer unit and rewired various areas and issued the appropriate certificates. He is very reliable and has always come at the time he has agreed, he always cleans up after completing the work and his prices are very reasonable.

We have utilised JPD electrical several times now for rewiring, light installation and fuse box refit. Jason has always worked quickly and efficiently, keeping to timescales and proving to be very reliable. We will definitely go back to JPD for any future works.

Jason is clean and tidy and always punctual and always tries his best to fit us in. His prices are alway competitive and his work is immaculate. I wouldn’t use anyone else! Thank you Jason 👍🏼

We booked Ian (ETE Electrical) to carry out a survey of our building wiring, as he was from a local business. From quotation to completion of work, the service was first class. Ian attended site when stated, completed the work as agreed and left the premises very clean and tidy. He was professional and trustworthy. He made the whole process very easy to understand and explained what work he was going to carry out for us. We have now arrange for Ian to return every six months to maintain our fire alarm system, which is a comfort to know, as he clearly cares about the service he provides to his customers. We would 100% recommend anyone using ETE for their electrical requirements.

Excellent professional service. Paul and the Team expertly wired a new annex I am building, connecting the building to the mains supply and completing all the interior and exterior electrics. Paul was knowledgeable and helpful at every stage. I was impressed by the team’s positive work ethic and attitude. A real five star service. I would recommend them for any of your electrical needs. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future. Great job!!

This company came to me recommended. I needed a new fuse board and car charging point. Paul took time to explain the products he used and invited me to review the equipment he would fit before agreeing to anything. He fitted me in at short notice and completed the work in a day. he actually stayed into the early evening to ensure i was up and running at no additional cost. he returned a week later to ensure everything was working correctly. He helped me get the apps up and running as well. All certificates of work supplied for future reference. I would definitely recommend this company. Clean efficient tidy work with a real personal touch that you don't often get these days.

Excellent Service provided by Paul, we have been going through some major building works which included a 2nd level extension plus loft conversion. Paul has upgraded our fuse board to support the additional lighting we required, house fully rewired and much more. The quality of the work was very high and always cleaned up after a days work. Highly recommend

I spent some time researching consumer units, as I wanted the job done once to last for years to come. I spoke to two electricians, and decided to go with PN Electrical as they use one of the best brands of consumer unit (All I have found is amazing reviews for the Fusebox boards) and they carry out all the testing required. Paul and his colleague were super friendly, with excellent communication throughout and the job was completed quickly, without any hassle/fuss and looks incredibly neat. Everything works a treat, and they are genuinely lovely people. Certificates issued the following day along with an invoice for the exact amount quoted. If you're looking for low hassle, friendly and reliable electricians, look no further. I will definitely be coming back in the future for any work required and would have no hesitation recommending PN Electrical to anyone. Thanks alot.

what a fantastic location right next to the river and lock. really nice walks and actually quite picturesque. the cafe is small with good selection. great place to sit by the river and watch the world go by.

Rating: 5 / 5

Lovely staff and lovely venue to sit and watch the world go by. Great for four-legged friends as well. Always have a sausage roll and a drink whilst the dog has a ice cream. Can get very busy at times as it's a very popular place.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great place to visit for a snack and a hot drink whilst on a ride or walk. Recommend the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. A lot of building works have been completed recently so the area is looking fresh and welcoming with a new outside seating and canopy incase it’s raining. Thanks again for the great hospitality

A favourite place to walk to, have a coffee and chill. It’s a perfect location, friendly staff and high quality food. For such a tiny place they do amazingly well. I’ve introduced many people to this little gem. The dog biscuits are genius. My dog won’t walk past without joining the queue for her biscuit so our furry friends approve too!!

Bought some of the great produce from the farm shop . Lovely place where we also enjoyed a lovely coffee and cake.

Charming Tea Shop and farm shop situated just off the B2000 near Cliffe Woods. Very friendly place; quiet, cosy one might say. Food is excellent, portions are generous and the prices are VERY reasonable. You can eat and drink either indoors in the rustic setting of the refurbished old farm buidings, or outdoors, either on the shady terrace or out in the open. Free parking.

The reason I never gave a 5 star is because it needs to be bigger . Mockbeggar is a friend little tea room and farm shop. The food and cakes are great and nice local produce in the farm shop. Great little gem x only just moved into the area and I love it !

Went on a Saturday evening without reservation and the staff were very friendly to accommodate us immediately. A nice touch that I very much appreciated was the fact they got our over before the table next to us where there were like 6-7 people instead of just the two of us... which means we didn't have to wait ages. Very good pizza. Personal recommendation would be the Ham & Buffala. Soft drinks decently priced. From the desserts, the Pistachio Tiramisu was also very good. Would definitely visit again when in the area. 👏🏻

Always an amazing experience at FiFi's. The staff are very tentative and make us feel like VIPs every time we walk in. The food is top notch and we especially love the truffle tortellini pasta and the Nduja pizza. A huge thank you to the staff for singing Happy Birthday to our daughter and making her day feel so special. The surprise dessert was a great touch. A special shout out to Lee our host and the Manager as always. Keep up the good work!

What a phenomenal meal and experience. Every bite from the bruschetta to pasta dishes and bread with garlic oil and finishing off with the most delicious rum bata with coconut gelato was delectable. The restaurant itself it so smart and fun with a fantastic dining soundtrack that gets you tapping your toes and humming along. Service was great and definitely we will be coming back and bringing the whole family.

I have been staying at the Black Horse a lot in the past few months because it's a brilliant establishment. Firstly the Black Horse Inn is a beautiful pub. It has great food, friendly staff and lovely aesthetics. Secondly, the hotel is unique, always clean and priced fairly. The reception staff are always really friendly and make you feel so welcome. Highly recommend this place if you're staying in the local area or fancy going out somewhere for a nice dinner!

We didn’t stay there. But had really great dinner! We have tried Vebison (deer) and meet was really great! The dish in general was amazing! Great amount of food, and it was very delicious! We also tried different drinks, ginger beer was nice. My colleagues got cocktails and beer and we all were happy with the place. Place itself very well decorated!

Just had 3 really, really, enjoyable nights at the BHI. Wonderful location, went on two lovely runs in the area directly on to the North Downs Way. Rooms were fine, great bath and shower, plenty of space. Lovely food, dinner and breakfast were great, in a wonderful atmospheric pub. (Amazing mushrooms at breakfast!) Lovely staff across the board , helpful, friendly, welcoming from reception, to the owner, to the cat, to the wait staff - all lovely. My one, single improvement point would be to have fresh coffee for breakfast over instant. Would absolutely come back - thank you for a lovely friendly stay.
