    Fenwick is a large department store, located in Newcastle city centre, it's spread over five floors…read moreand is one of the anchor stores at Eldon Square Shopping Centre. Fenwick as a brand has 8 locations across the country and was founded here in Newcastle Upon Tyne. This location is their flagship. The store has entrances on street level (Northumberland Street) as well as entrances from the mall. The store is open until 7 pm on most days, although opening hours can vary, this means they're generally open an hour later than John Lewis, which is the mall's other main department store. The store is fairly attractive, with modern and older parts and the selection again is reasonable. The renovation is starting to show which is ongoing to celebrate the store's 140th anniversary. The Food Hall area reminded me a little of a smaller version of Harrods, pricey for sure but they had a variety of items appearing to be high-quality, including some meats which looked of a fantastic quality. I much prefer the technology section at John Lewis nearby, however - although Fenwick for sure wins on the Food Hall side of things. 4*

    Thank you again to two great sales ladies Lindsey and Helen in the electrical department…read moredownstairs. I bought a magimix food processor, it wasn't a straight forward sale as I had to take it abroad. Lindsey and Helen really bent over backwards to help me find the right size, the colour I wanted, to wrap it well to take it on a plane ..... They couldn't have been nicer. A real pleasure in doing business with sales staff like that and they definitely make you want to shop at the store again.

    This is a good Marks and Spencer location, inside the Metrocentre in Gateshead. The store is fairly…read moremodern and has been refurbished recently, so the store still feels modern and fresh. It has pretty much most of what you'd expect to find from Marks and Spencer. The facilities inside the store are good and include a cafe, an optician and toilets. The Deli section did seem to be good, including freshly prepared salads, wraps and meals, but it did seem to be a little depleted later into the day. The store did appear to be a little understaffed, again this could have been due to it being the late afternoon, but it still was moderately busy on a Saturday. 4* - A nice store and a welcome addition to the shopping centre, the fact it is located right by the car park is handy too, to avoid carrying shopping around the mall.

    Great selection in this large Marks and Spencer store convenitently located next to a large car…read morepark at one end of the mall. The Cafe Revive is always busy and does a range of hot and cold snacks and cakes. There's plenty of seating available and you can sit and relax without feeling like the staff are waitign for you to hurry up and leave. It does extremely tasty toasted sandwiches! The store itself has a wide range of good quality men, women and children's clothing at affordable prices. They don't do maternity clothing. It also does home furnishings and furniture as well as household goods and some toys and gift ranges for Christmas time. It can be tricking finding a member of staff to ask about items/sizes/where to find stuff but they are helpful when located. It's a very busy, well used store.

    Over the years, I have enjoyed many trips to various TK Maxx stores to browse for bargains. I…read moreespecially like the home section where you can find lots of baking tools and the "Mod Box" racks where I have found myself a good number of discounted David & Goliath t-shirts and cute Yumi dresses. TK Maxx is definitely a place to visit if you have a spare afternoon to go through the many racks for hidden gems in a big store. I was particularly excited to see a TK Maxx so close by and was eager to check it out. The store is spread over two floors with ladies fashion, accessories, children, shoes and toys on the the bottom floor and home and mens upstairs. It isn't a busy store so it is quite tidy. The pet section is spread out with the dog toys nicely organised (found a huge rope tug of war toy for the dogs for £4.99 that was very easy to get to) but strangely there are no poop bags in this section until you go to the tills downstairs. The clearance section was dissappointing; it was unnecessarily large for the few items that were there. Not only was it very empty, many of the discounted items were broken but still quite expensive. Although this store does stock similar items to the larger stores, the sizing is limited and the other departments in the store are also quite small. However, small doesn't mean bad! It's a good size as it wouldn't take that long to browse the store in its entirety, so it is still worth a visit if you have an hour to kill. Conveniently, it is right next to other similar discount stores such as SportsDirect, and if you get hungry, McDonald's is right outside. Plus, it is really easy to get to by car, public transport or walking from the nearby areas. Even though I am a big fan of TK Maxx and levitate towards the big red stores, I would however warn of the poor customer service provided at this particular branch. On both occassions, staff have been much more interested in talking amongst each other despite seeing you waiting to be served. When they do eventually serve you, they are completely disinterested in their job and are obviously annoyed by you tearing them away from their chit-chat. I'm not sure if these are just isolated incidents due to the times I visited but I do know that TK Maxx store assistants from other locations have been at least minimally friendly and customer servce assistants from the Kingston Park area are mainly nice. It's a shame but I won't be going there anytime soon. I hope the hiring manager recruits better staff for their Christmas temps they are currently hiring for.

    Ive bought a few things from here in the past, but ever time I go in, I always think the clothes…read moreracks are clutterred with far too much stuff on each rail. Thats the mens and womens clothing depts. You can, if you're prepared to spend the time, find some good stuff here. Whether clothing or furniture, orniments or kitchen and bathroom stuff. This shop could improve by having stuff better displayed, so its not like a jumble sale.
