You should watch out for the 'Two dine for £10' offer that they occasionally have on at weekends. You get a main dish like a roast chicken, an accompaniment like potatoes or veggies, a pudding like an apple pie and then a bottle of wine (or orange juice?!). I love the bakery in this store because everything is fresh and warm and delicious - especially the pepperoni foccacia! Great store and awesome value!

I bought some sandals for my wife online for Christmas. I bought them in…read more October. On Christmas day she tried them on and they didn't fit. I immediately e-mailed on Christmas day to ask about an exchange but decided to order another pair so as to not miss out. I had no response to my original e-mail so I rang them today and was told that it was out of the fourteen day returns period and out of the 'extended Christmas period'. What am I supposed to do, get my wife to try them before Christmas ?? I would even have accepted a credit note in return but was told there was nothing I can do, I will not be using this store again and advise people buying gifts not to do so either!!! Since I wrote this review they have agreed to refund the money. The original service was excellent and had it not been for the initial problem we had, I would've awarded more stars. I've increased the star rating in recognition of them bending their rules to provide a good level of customer service. We will use them again.

They keep up with the latest fashions, but they do have more classic items aswell. the staff can be a bit funny with you and there are the odd few that have a bit of an attitude, but this is pretty much par for the course in topshop outlets. Reasonably good value
