Im not a big fan of Shakeaway. The milkshakes are pretty overpriced and never properly mixed, and there are sometimes big queues. The adverts on the walls recommend 3 shakeaways a day...I find one hard to stomach. Having said that, the hot chocolate with cream and maltesers is worth a try.

Although the shakes are a luxaury item, which cost an arm and a leg, the shakes are fantastic. I often go into shakeaway, and the staff are kind and will surgest ideas for shakes. It you can spare 3.20, then spend it here.

Shakeaway always looks inviting as you walk past it. There is usually a queue of students itching to get at the tasty milkshakes! However the queue is always gone really quickly as the staff there are really fast and efficient at serving. This is great value for money and if you have a valid student card you even get 10% off! Definately worth a visit!

This place is brilliant! You can have almost anything in a milkshake and they always taste great. The only bad thing about it is deciding what to have as there are so many choices. And personally i would say it is a bit expensive for what you get as you can make them at home cheaper however this place is well worth a visit at least once.

Shakeaway is a fun place to go with friends, there is more flavours than you can imagine and quirky brand merchandising. the added bonus is a reward card whereby if you purchase 10 shakes, your next one is free. The prices are a little steep but if you consider the unique service which you are recieving and the fact that the milkshakes are perfect for a warm summers day, it is worth it.

Shakeaway is wonderful! There is a HUGE amount of choice of flavors, and it is great fun to mix them up and design your own, however this can take sometime to decide on, and therefore there are often queues. However if you go at the right time, you could be lucky! I have never had a shakeaway that i dislike, however there are some unusual flavors that i have not quite got the courage to try! The staff are very friendly, and will chat as they make your shakeaway. They are very nice and pacient if you cannot decide! The shop is set out well and its great fun to watch your shakeaway being made! The prices are quite expensive, however it is definately worth it! They also have hot milkshakes for the winter, and soya milk, for people who prefer. Overall I would say that Shakeaway is a happy place to be!

Whoever thought of this idea for a business was a genius; it covers a very unique gap in the market. The decor is very bright and fun, perfect in summer and cheery in the winter. The staff seem to have as much fun making the milkshakes as the customer does drinking them. You can have as many ingredients as you want, you can even pick them by throwing darts at the menu on the wall. My friend once bought a £20 milkshake by ordering all the ingredients with chocolate in. It took up 3 blenders and used 4 cups. We shared it between 10 of us, it tasted like cake batter and made us all feel ill, but it was worth it :) Check it out at http://www.shakeaway.com/

Shakeaway is a good place to go and get a milkshake. I personally enjoy having a shakeaway when in town, as it is a unique idea to have all the ingredients up on the wall so that you can choose you own fillings. It helps you to discover new tastes and textures. I found out about Shakeaway through a friend who really recommended it, so it is often popular with people!

Shakeaway is the best place for milkshakes in winchester, you can get any flavour you want and any combination of flavours. This is a good thing but also means that at busy times the queues can be long with people taking ages to decide. Another pro of shakeway is that you get student discount and you collect stamps and get a free milkshake after 10 shakeaways. The downside is that there is no seating inside the shop, so if its wet and cold you probably wouldnt want to go to shakeaway. In the summer its great to get one and sit outside.

A small milkshake shop but literally any flavour milkshake will be made right in front of you. Quite expensive though and the queues get long at peak times, loyalty cards and offers are good but I still don't make it a regular thing as I can't justify the cost for what it is. Friendly place with quick efficient service and perfect place to try something new!

Shakeaway is a milkshake cafe on the highstreet of Winchester. It is relatively new and seems to be having great success. You can choose between many different flavours and combinations of shake. They are largely appreciated, but I myself find them too sweet and have never been able to finish a whole portion. Similarly, the shakes are quite expensive. The service is very quick, but the queues are often long due to popularity.

Shakeaway is such an amazing idea with loads and loads of flavours to chose from. The milkshakes take about 2 minutes to make but they do cost quite a lot: a regular costing £2.50 and large being £3.60 (that is with only one flavour). But you have to try them as they really are delicious and it is definately worth stopping in when you are visiting Winchester.

Quite a small shop, but as people usually just buy and the takeaway, it doesn't really matter! Helpful staff with really yummy milkshakes. I like how you can choose practically any flavour, and the offers always encourage you to try something new. However it's quite expensive, and i don't tend to go there that often. However when i do, the milkshakes don't disappoint

Milkshakes are brilliant! The staff are very friendly and there are good deals on if you are a loyal customer - you get a card and each time you purchase a milkshake you get a sticker, once you reach 10 you get a free milkshake. All flavours are available, and you can choose exaclty what you want in your milkshake! Highly recommended.

Expensive, sometimes crowded, and it smells weird in there but: IRRESISTABLE.
Every time I go in i think to myself 'can't you just get some ice cream and some biscuits and some milk and DO THIS YOURSELF FOR FREE??' but there's something about their branding and the combination of tasty shakes ad quirky marketing that just keeps making you come back. My favourite: after 8 & nutella.

shakeaway has made winchester. brilliant on a hot day, and the flavours are endless. the staff can whip up a shakeaway fast, but it doesn't help the queues on a hot day. the only criticism is that the winchester franchise won't make a shakeaway of whatever you bring in.

The Shakeaway milk-shake company on the high street is extremely small and often rather crowded and uncomfortable. However, now its popularity has died down a bit after first arriving, service is quicker and staff seemed less stressed.
