It's not what I would call a particularly fun shopping experience, but it does the job and I don't think I've ever come out of this place empty handed. They've got pretty much everything you could wish for in terms of household necessities in this store and the staff are very helpful when it comes to helping you find what you're after. It's not the cheapest of places - if you shop around a bit I'm sure you could find yourself a better bargain for some items at Wilkinsons or Argos, but if you don't fancy spending your entire Saturday morning shopping for a new vegetable steamer/hoover/junior hacksaw, then head to Robert Dyas. You should find everything you're looking for within a matter of minutes.

I wanted to leave this review having received an absolutely fantastic service from a number of…read morestaff at the Cribbs Causeway store in Bristol. My particular thanks to Marc, Dale, Russel and Emma in the business department and to Brandt, Steve and Sanjay in store. I probably spent most of the time speaking to James (the Sony Rep) and Jordan when I was desperately trying to figure out the best television to buy. Having spent so much time reading reviews and watching YouTube videos online regarding the best TVs I had finally narrowed my choice down to 2 specific sets; namely the Sony A90J 65" and the LG Gallery G1 77" series. I can honestly say that I have never spent so much time on a purchase than I did over this television - perhaps only when buying a car! I was going back and forth constantly changing my mind. It is in this regard that I wish to express my sincere thanks to all those I spoke to as they really were so patient. Not only that, but also very understanding of how long it was taking me. I often laughing at myself with them for over analysing it too much! They were great though. In terms of my choice (maybe helpful for others) the 2 televisions were both top tier sets but the Gallery G1 was the larger size and I loved the way it hung on the wall. The Sony A90J seemed to offer the better picture quality, better sound quality and better overall experience such as the brilliant backlit remote control and a fantastic and easy operating system based on Google. However, I was hoping for the best of both worlds as the flush slim look of the Gallery G1 on the wall is just fantastic. Alas, it couldn't be and I had to choose one over the other. I chose the Sony A90J and will pair it with the Sony HT-A9 surround sound speaker system going forward. This is currently out of stock due to the pandemic but hopefully available again for purchase in a few months time. I couldn't be happier with my decision and am having the Sony A90J professionally wall mounted. Buying a new tv and home cinema system if you will was a big decision for me, hence why it took so long. Aesthetics are equally important to me and I love that the Sony has a small dim light that blinks only when you use the remote buttons; it's very subtle and nicely implemented. It doesn't have a huge IR sensor sticking out of the bottom of it like the Gallery G1 does. I knew that would constantly distract me when watching television. The Sony is beautifully styled, minimalistic and it seems to me that everything has been thought about during the design stage. The backlit remote control is incredibly practical and I now feel I couldn't do without it in the future. It's also really lovely to use. In terms of picture quality; well it is simply outstanding. If you mainly stream content from the likes of Netflix, Disney, Prime Video and other similar services then you are going to be blown away in my opinion. Other services and older content are still very good and well upscale for the 65" screen size but since I rarely watch older content its not really that important to me. For what I do want to watch, the Sony A90J is the best TV to date in my opinion. For reference, I came from a Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11-46" (older LCD/LED from 2012) and I could now never go back to such technology. OLED is without question the way to go for perfect pictures and great viewing. I find Sony's current offerings with the soon to be available HT-A9 sound system so much better and simpler than anything available from B&O or anyone else at this time. Based on this customer experience with Curry's I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough. Prior to this visit and eventual purchases (Sony A90J, Sony Blu-ray player and soon HT-A9) I was a loyal customer of John Lewis, but I had received a very bad and uncomfortable customer experience in the days before from one of the managers, which is why I looked elsewhere. I am now a firm and loyal Curry's customer since John Lewis have lost their appeal due to my customer experience being a lot worse than they used to be. I have heard many people say the same thing so well done Curry's for stepping up (massively) and offering the same and in my opinion better customer service than your competitors. Well deserved. All the best, Simon Payne, Bristol.

Everything is pretty packed in and up so you will have to pick your way through. If you need something in particular there are a lot of staff on hand to help you find what you need. I particularly like their book section downstairs, which has a mix of new and classic cookbooks, and they also have a reasonably good baking section - although a little thin on moulds which is what I happened to be after but you can't expect them to have everything... They stock big name brands including Le Creuset, with an emphasis on quality (after all, you can pick up basic pans in Tescos if thats all you want). If you spend any amount of time in the kitchen then I recommend splashing pout on something good.

By the looks of…read moreit, it looks like it used to be some sort of Church which gives you an idea of how big it is! To be honest, it's hard to say exactly what they sell. It's pretty much everything electrical, ranging from ovens, fridges and washing machines to small appliances such as kettles, toasters and hair dryers. All of which are available to view at their showroom. The company has been family run for 25 years and they are really helpful and friendly. It is nice to actually have a conversation with someone in one of these shops without being bombarded with technical information and being pressurised to buy something. Prices are marginally higher than Curry's Digital, but you are getting a much more personal service. Bonus: they have heaps of off road parking (which if you are familiar with Gloucester Road is a real selling point!).

I certainly wouldn't usually consider buying spares or having anything repaired here. I'm far too fond of Bobs Best Electricals and Beacon Electronics to willingly take my trade anywhere else. If it weren't for the recommendation I'd been given by the chap from Bristol Tools, who suggested that I try Nailsea Electrical to see if they stocked belts for my old Hotpoint Twin Tub, then I would never have thought to pay them a visit. He of course, suggested that I tried Bob's Best and Beacon first, but I explained that I'd phoned them both already, and neither one of them had anything in stock. Sharing the same level of reservation that I had, he gingerly suggested going to Nailsea Electrical, on the basis that I had nothing to lose. Ben dealt efficiently with my enquiry, and quickly told me that Nailsea Electrical never keep old items like this is stock on the grounds that there is very little call for it. Consulting a large catalogue he continued by saying that they no longer made the belt that I was looking for. He broke the news apologetically and then turned his gaze back to the catalogue. Stabbing at the page with his index finger in a triumphant gesture he announced, "but this'll do it". He said it with such conviction that I was instantly convinced he was right, and so I ordered it on the spot. A few days later I got a call from the shop to tell me that it had arrived, and I called in a couple of days later to collect. I've been washing non-stop ever since!
