My band have only ever recorded at two places - the Foyer and Captain Tom's.
The Foyer is cheap, but good for the price.
Captain Tom's is much more expensive, but what you get is far better. The sound engineer (Paul) really knows his stuff, and gives honest opinions which allows you to have an all round better recording at the end of it. The all round sound quality is much better as well.
Depends what you're after though really and how much money you've got to spend.
For a low cost demo to hand out for free, and to send to promoters etc, the Foyer is fine. If you're looking for something to "release" and sell on etc that is a bit more professional, then I'd recommend Captain Tom's.
There are many other places you can go though, and others will have different opinions I'm sure...!
Cheers,
Calum
