CambridgeRecommendations

As in LeafPage?

Sounds reasonable. --DR

Is there any reason why we shouldn't just merge it with the cammisc wiki?  Having to cross reference two lots of opinions is painful, and I always think to check cammisc first - Sally

Well, sure, I guess, except you're not supposed to post *any* content on the cammisc wiki unless it's been posted to cam.* and generally accepted as not being spam first - I've asked Paul about that before. - MoonShadow

   * [2+] /ArburyCourtBikeShop? (will reify when I check I've got the name right)

Rachael recommends the new one in Arbury Court - John's Bike's (sic). He repairs bikes better than he punctuates.

I've now seen this shop open!  First time ever!  --Vitenka

PWF would not go back to John's. He repaired a gear cable by replacing it with a brake cable. The guy* who fixed it was not impressed.

* Newdales in Saffron Walden. Very good, but not exactly convenient unless you work on the Genome campus.

Green End road has one.  Turn left at the Co-Op (or go straight if you came from the back entrance to the science park) and continue past the small park.  It's on your left.  It's probably slightly more than ten minutes walk, depending upon how fast you can get to the golden hind.  --Vitenka

Our company used TitBits? for the Christmas meal.  The food was good and the service friendly, but I have no idea about the price.  I can't find a website for them but my boss has given me their card, which says "Call Trevor on 01440 703878". --SGB

The question was originally for our wedding. In the end we used Chef Catering. They weren't very good at administrative things like accuracy of documents, but the food was very good. --Rachael

   * [2+] TuckerGardner?
   * [+-] Tylers?
   * [----------] Connells?

Tylers aren't bad. They haven't actually sold our flat yet, but they've seemed competent and professional in their dealings with us. --Rachael

Pocock and Shaw weren't bad at all, seven years ago, from a buyer's perspective. YMMV --Admiral

PsychoBabe says Tucker Gardner are good. --Rachael

Yes, all 10 negatives for Connells are from me. Seriously avoid avoid avoid! (If at all possible). TuckerGardner? were surprisingly really good. --qqzm

   * [1+] /TheFlyingWok (Chinese delivery)

Are they the same people as TheFlyingTandoori? Because TheFlyingTandoori are terrible and I highly disrecommend them. What about TheFlyingPizza? - is that related? --Rachael

I don't know if they are the same company.  The Flying Wok is based at 22 Cheddars Lane, while The Flying Tandoori is based at 44 Station Road. I do know that the food quality of the Flying Wok has deteriorated over the last 3 years. --DR
