Situated in The Lanes in Meadowhall (runs around the side of The Oasis food court) this is a gem of…read morea shop which sells christening gowns and other formal wear for little kids! Found the perfect gown for my 9 month old daughter here, and they also sell shoes, jewellery, hair accessories, sock, tights and anything else you might need for the big day. They also do little suits and cute sailor suits for boys if you'd prefer that sort of outfit, and a range of really nice (but pricey!) clothes for children too. Staff are really helpful and know their stock really well.

Many stores I've visited recently have really fit into the category "Meh, I've experienced better"…read moreand "A nice brand which the city really needs, but the way the store goes about it doesn't meet standards and expectations", and this branch of Primark on Sheffield's The Moor is certainly one of those places. There are two ways Primark stores go around, not just in the UK but also around Europe - they're either modern and spacious or basically a tight squeeze of cheap clothing goods which ruins and lessens the overall shopping experience, sadly this is the latter. It might lack compared to the nearby branch at Meadowhall in terms of facilities, size and overall feel so it is certainly below average, but that doesn't mean the store isn't useful despite its flaws and at least deserves a two-star rating.

Of all the Primark's I've been to, and that's quite a few, I always find this one to be the least…read morefavourite. The shop is small and always very crowded. When you come in the door, there is a small lower level with jeans and things in and to get to the main bit you have to go up the stairs, I don't really like the layout plus there are always clothes strewn about that the staff don't tidy. They still sell the same good cheap range that all Primarks sell so have mens, womens and kids clothes. Be prepared to queue for ages to pay!

I do feel they could have put each brand together, rather than having two sections even for the same type of clothing (shirts, jackets) which was a little strange, and making sure the branding was clear so you can see from a distance without having to look around a store for your favourite brand would be a good improvement. The staff did seem OK, far from the best or the worst I've had in a Tessuti store, but this was surprisingly good compared to other stores within the shopping centre. Pretty average store, yet you can get some decent finds if you call in at the right time. 3*

This store is a decent size, it isn't up there with the biggest Primark locations in Birmingham and Manchester, being over just two floors, but it is pretty decent for the location as extra amenities such as a branded coffee shop and other "interesting" factors aren't needed as they basically have it all nearby within the centre anyway. For a Primark store, the store was pretty spacious, making it more pleasant to get around and shop compared to other locations. The store was pretty bright and modern, and although it differed to the colour scheme and layout to the stores in the North East, Birmingham and other stores around the country, it still felt pretty modern and of course, with any Primark store, the prices are pretty decent and affordable too. Not a bad branch of the Irish discount clothing chain, in a good location. 3*

As mentioned before, this store is much bigger then the town centre counterpart. Its well lit and…read morespread out over two floors. There is a lot more choice then in the city centre and has more sizes. There are loads of clothes for ladies to pick and choose from, handbags and accessories to underwear. The quality is average sometimes a bit poor on some items but its to be expected. Upstairs there is a small home wear section, mainly bedding and cushions. There is a good shoe selection, including leather shoes. The men's wear is ok but not as good as the ranges available for women. Also the children's wear is great for clothes for boys and girls. The prices are cheap and the clothes are on trends and keeps up with the likes of topshop. The staffs are a mixed bunch with some being really friendly to others that don't even speak to you at the tills, but really you only go in there for the cheap clothes not the customer services. The store is kept tidy, the rails do get a bit messy on busy days but there are plenty of staff trying to tidy them up. It is also horrible to go in on a Saturday or Sunday at peak times as its heaving and you can't get round properly. Also there are queues but these do go down fairly quickly.

G-Star Raw is a nice store within Meadowhall, it stands out within the large shopping centre and is…read morea pretty good store for the brand, although I feel it is too orientated towards jeans especially considering the brand, in general, sell other products too which don't seem to be focused here very much with only a small selection of costs etc, it still is a rather nice store. They did have some products, they did seem to be a little designer like in terms of pricing especially with the coats, however, I did like how they formed a Chinese dragon out of them as a form of celebration for the upcoming Chinese New Year, year of the rat. The staff seemed friendly enough but they were obviously a little bored as they were just sat at a table talking to each other, while I was in the store and passed it a couple of times during the mall, there was virtually no customers. 3* - A nice store within Meadowhall, staff seemed friendly enough too but I really do think they have their product selection wrong with a huge selection of similar jeans and not enough of other clothing and merchandise.

This store in meadowhall is really big and spacious and crammed full of gorgeous things that I just want to buy but know I can't afford. The staff are always really helpful and will have a good look out back for sizes and things rather than the usual if we've got it, it'll be out that you get in so many high street stores. Lovely shop, lovely atmosphere, high prices but worth every penny. If you like the stuff but can't afford it, take a trip to Castleford to the outlet store!

Changing rooms are a little small but staff are usually friendly and helpful. There is a large lift at the rear of the store for disabled customers or parents with prams. Usually stock great evening wear, and there are bargains to be had when there's a sale on!

I did struggle to find a staff member on the shop floor, which also did make it difficult to get around the store, combined with a lack of a store plan or signage. Eventually, when I did find a staff member, he seemed less than impressed with my search for the exit (I was trying to find the car park). The security guard also seemed a little rude, he seemed more interested in trying to intimidate customers than anything else. The store was fairly modern and had a good selection of brands, slightly more premium than other stores inside the Frasers Group, I do think for a brand selling many upmarket products, with prices to match, the in-store pick-up option should be much more straight-forward, it seems bonkers to have a delivery fee of £6.99, especially for picking up an item in-store, even one that is stocked there anyway. If you spend over £200, you do get a £20 voucher, but this can only be spent in-store on a future purchase... A fairly large and modern store, with some good products, however many parts of the store do not match the premium status of their products, which is a shame. 3*
