For clothing items at a good (to bargain!) price Matalan is really hard to beat. For both Men and…read moreWomen (and kids I guess) they have a great selection. Quality and styles are good and although I don't go often I always find something even if I am only really there to accompany Mrs G. On our most recent visit I found sale items that I just couldn't resist, two quality long sleeve Oxford shirts (one black and one white) for £8 each and a great thick sweater for £14 - bargain and I wear it all the time as winter approaches. Mrs G couldn't find everything she wanted but the missing item we just ordered for pick up later in the week The store is spacious, light, clean and airy. The only thing I would like to see more of is a bench or two where hubby's like me can sit and wait :) 2 thumbs up!

The place is awash with colour as we are moving expectantly into the English summer and the clothes are always reasonably priced. The store is predominantly women's clothing, but there is a small children's section and a corner devoted to menswear, which at the minute is largely summer clothes short sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, shorts, summer hats and shoes. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the store is always worth a look for that occasional bargain.

Everything in the store is easy to find and is sectioned into specific areas such as menswear, womens clothing, lingerie and children's clothing. I see a lot of mums buy children's clothing and it is very popular as it is usually the busiest part. The staff are friendly and nice and are all women. There are only 2 changing rooms and so when it is busy it can be annoying if you have to wait for the changing room It can be difficult to walk around without knocking things off because everything is spaced so close together.

They have an extensive range of Mens, Womens and childrens clothes, and also shoes, underwear and nightwear, along with other accessories. The stock is changed regularly, and when items are in the sale they are at a fantastically discounted price. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful, and will take you to the area where items are if you enquire. They get regular deliveries and stock a broad range of sizes. The only downfall to this Peacocks is the shops size, as I know the range would be even better if floor space wasn't an issue.

I never thought I'd say I own a pair of comfortable stilettos but thanks to Next, I do! The handbags are gorgeous, too. At the back there is a children and baby department and upstairs is menswear. There is also a small selection of gifts available.

The clothes are really cheap and there's a huge range but I always feel really dirty (figuratively…read morespeaking) on the few occasions I enter this store and quickly leave empty-handed. Why? Its horrible reputation of using sweat shops to mass produce its cheap 'n' not-so-cheerful clothing. Sure, I have no idea that stores selling more expensive clothing are trading ethically - but I DO know that this brand thrives on exploitation so I try to avoid it. The store is always so overcrowded anyway on weekends. Personally I don't see the attraction of a throw-away society where nothing is sustainable and things fall apart after a few wears. Sure it's cheap - but does that justify the products - and how they're made?

Everything is easy to find, as it's a good idea to buy something you like as soon as you see it, as stuff sells out quickly. It often gets really busy, so would avoid on a Saturday, and only has one ladies changing room.

I got a lesson yesterday in why Marks and Spencer is struggling. I arrived at the store at about…read more4.45pm yesterday to look for blue jeans. I had bought some before - last year (admittedly from their store in the East Midlands Designer Outlet mall). What I had bought, and loved, were Blue Harbour stretch jeans. So I went on line and ordered some more to be delivered. Sadly what I received were a totally different fit - "old man jeans" in my opinion - baggy around the crotch and waist area - so bad Mrs G INSISTED I sent them back (which I did for a full refund). Went to this store and was unable to find that brand but found some others which fit OK. Went to the cash register and there were 4 staff (FOUR) standing around, 2 talking to each other (it was 4:50pm on Thursday), one serving a customer who was talking forever to determine how she was going to pay for her item and the fourth lady just standing there. I guess that she eventually acquiesced to my looks slowly turning to a glare and logged into her register and nodded for me to come over. I made the mistake of mentioning that I ordered some jeans on line and that they were different to the ones I had bought in a brick and mortar store with a totally different fit. So then she gave me a lecture on how they were exactly the same (how she knew I have no idea!!!), so I assured her that they weren't and that others on line had reported the same disappointment. She fired back that they were the same and that I was mistaken, to which I responded how sad it was that the days of "the customer is always right" seem to have disappeared in her store. Yikes - with customer service like this no wonder they are struggling to keeps stores open :( Pity!! Review # 55 2018

This branch of Marks & Spencers is one of Burton's most well established and popular stores. In its…read moreprime location in Coopers Square, this is a fairly sizeable store. Downstairs is an expansive women's department, including a Per Una section, a shoe/handbag area and a jewellery section. The other major section downstairs is an M & S food department, small but with a good variety of products. Expensive yes, but most of the food is of the highest quality, some great meals deals too! Up the stairs or escalator if you prefer, is an extensive menswear department - good quality, but a little old fashioned. There is also a lingerie/nightwear section, as well as a small homewares department. There is an M & S cafe too, quite small but relentlessly popular. Worth waiting for a table though, the coffee is fantastic, strong and flavoursome but even I can't manage a large cup, it looks like you could swim lengths in it! Great breakfast muffins too!
