PCB Fab UK

What PCB fabricators do people in the UK use for small quantities?

Who's good? Easy to work with? Inexpensive?

It's something I have been looking into as well and would also be interested to hear peoples feedback.

I've looked around a bit and am currently considering using:

http://www.pcbtrain.co.uk/

They do PCB fab/prototype and also do assembly for reasonable rates.

I use PCB-Pool. They are actually in Germany but the quality is excellent and they are very helpful. We used Newbury/PCBtrain whre I used to work but they weren't very good - they cocked-up several assembly jobs. I used them once and the board was rather poor quality. It worked, though.

PCB-Pool, me too. And I know of Brits ordering there too.
You never know where the boards are actually made. I never had problems with them (with my limited experience). Just upload your Eagle file, check some boxes of the online form and the PCBs arrive when they promised you.

Only "problem": Often the bill was lower then the online-calculater told.

Oh, strange thing: PCB-pool has lower prices in the US of A.
