The other main store at Cribbs at the other end from John Lewis is a two-storey M&S with the food…read morehall, mens and xmas bumpf downstairs and the women's section upstairs. The selection is OK, but has dwindled in recent years from their more expensive or exclusive ranges back to their staple Per Una and cashmere jumpers choices. Their shoes remain, mystifyingly, some of the kinkiest in the Mall bar Kurt Geiger so even if thought of shopping in M&S makes you think of your grandmother's twin set and pearls then brave it and check out the shoes. Staff are always helpful in here, especially good as its such a big store, and will help you find things or fetch you different sizes of clothes whilst you stay in the changing room.

The M&S Deli serves reasonable food, largely because the cooking is automated. For instance, the…read moremanager explained to us that the pasta is cooked automatically by a special machine, so why we had undercooked pasta was inexplicable. Yet, it was undercooked. However, my penne and pesto was lovely and was just what I was looking for. We were told we would have to wait till 12 noon before ordering lunch (it was 11.55am), but it still arrived at about 12.25 anyway. This underlines the real reason we wouldn't return to M&S Deli: the food is reasonably tasty and reasonably priced, and the wine is good because it's straight off the M&S shelves, but the service is terrible! We were there for an hour, which was way longer than we expected. This was because of poor all-round service. While we were there, we heard at least three other complaints, with one couple actually leaving. I'm sure this isn't the sort of 'experience' M&S wants to encourage. Our waiter wasn't polite, wasn't attentive, was blasé and had dirty fingernails (yet still handled the raw Parmesan cheese). Get the staff sorted and the rest will follow.

If you are looking for a smart item of clothing for work you must have a look at Austin Reed. They…read morehave some gorgeous suits for both men and the ladies. At one point I used to think that they were slightly old fashioned but that is no longer the case. They have some really well styled tailored items which have a variety of price tags. I wouldn't say that they were cheap but all the items that I have had from here have lasted really well so personally I would rather pay a little more to get an item that will still look good after the first month of wear. They also have an enormous range of shirts, ties and accesories in more colours than the rainbow - a brilliant choice and great service

This is a fantastic shop selling really good quality well made items of clothing. Male and female…read moreclients are well catered for here, though predominantly males. If you are wanting a well cut wardrobe of clothing for your work wardrobe look no further, you can't go far wrong. They are cut really well and quality always looks in fashion. They have modernised their image and now have a range of both single and double breasted suits, many traditional fabrics and styles, but many others with a modern twist of originality. Masses of ties and accessories are available, together with a range of outerwear. Ladies also have a good range of suits, skirts, trousers and many shirts to choose from, and I personally love their cufflinks - but thats just me. Really lovely items and the price tag is reasonable.

It's conveniently located in the middle of the mall so it's easy to just pop in on your way through. The sale is always well worth a visit, too.

This is probably my second favourite clothes shop in The Mall after H&M. It doesn't always have a…read morehuge number of items that interest me but the ones that they do have I LOVE. The store is of a medium size given that it is half men's & half women's so you do have to go through the rails a little bit (but not so much that it's annoying) to see all that they have. They stock brands such as Diesel, Miss Sixty, Killah, Firetrap, Stark, Full Circle, Ted Baker and FCUK. the only thing that's a bit of a shame is that because they stock a decent number of brands they don't always have a huge amount from each one so often I find I have to go into Broadmead for a wider range of Miss Sixty items than they stock here.
