There are still lots of great offers in store - I particularly like the Home and DIY section - their own paint is pretty great and they do some nice offers on air fresheners which are very inexpensive compared to other places in town. I always come here before anywhere else as I know I'm not likely to find things at a better price anywhere else.

The clothing ranges aren't that extensive as you would find in a major city but they do have some nice bits across all sections. The cafe part of the shop is always busy and is nice to visit after a hard mornings shopping, a coffee and cake is always good and the area is clean and tidy. The toilets in this store are usually quite busy as I think they are used by everyone not just customers, people know the toilets are there so they make a visit just to use them. My favourite part of the shop is the food section, I could quite happily live off M&S food forever but my budget doesn't allow for it!

After my VBSE in the Leeds store, this place has restored my faith in House of Fraser. As I live in…read moreLeeds, I called the store at 9 this morning to see whether the item I needed was in stock (as it wasn't in the Leeds one), and it was, and the lady, Diane, I spoke to was incredibly cheery and helpful even though she'd clearly only just started work. Bless. So she put the thing aside for me and I picked it up an hour later, and everyone was super helpful. Of the three staff I passed on my way to the department, all of them smiled at me and acknowledged me, rather than ignoring me completely and going out of their way to not help me, like the Leeds staff I encountered yesterday. Two ladies wished me a merry christmas too. It was really nice. I shall be emailing my feedback to them to thank them : ) Well done HoF!

House of Fraser (previously Beatties) is a very good British departament store, it is one of the 63…read morestores in the country. At the moment of writing it sells clothes, kitchen items, 'home' items and also has a restaurant located above the store. I like House of Fraser, because it sells mainly high quality things, so you don't have to go through hundreds of cheap, and low quality stuff until you find something you really like. I am under the impression that the mens departament was better in the past, now it has less clothes, but mabye it's not true. It is sad that they don't sell toys anymore. Overall it a very good place to buy stuff for yourself or a present for a loved one (like a Fraser Teddy Bear!)

I love this place and go out of my way to go there. An…read moreAlladdins cave of treasures from shoes to fabrics..kitchen ware to religious icons..suits to saris.Balti trays and cooking utensils are very reasonably priced compared to any cook shop. This store is massive! It packs a lot of stuff all under one roof! Lovely sari fabrics from around £15.99. I often buy the plain white silk ones for £15 and cut into smaller pieces and dye for other things.Ornate saris make wonderful furnishing fabrics too. A great selection of haberdashery..lovely ribbons and trims. A bargain bin with short pieces of amazing fabrics at about 8 pieces a £1. Some stunning jewellery as well and indian cosmetics and hennabindis, henna tattoos and I also stock up on incense. The huge emporium is a gleaming bazaar with rolls of silks in every possible shade. Racks of spangled shoes and sandals seem to come straight from Bollywood. Yet there are also racks of little girls' organdie dresses like those worn by Shirley Temple in the 1930s. Indeed, something about Bombay Stores is very comforting for English people: it is as if time has stood still. For the Asian community is a taste of home. There is order and calm, no pressure selling and plenty of space to wander from the boutique, selling Bollywood pop hits and videos, to the cafe, en route to the fabrics, suits and shoes. I always keep carrying armfuls of stuff to the checkout but now they have also devised a new idea. In fact there's so much that the only way to shop for larger goods is to browse the store and pick up tickets for each item that you want to purchase, and when you're done you go to the checkout, give in your tickets and all your items will be ready to pay for and collect. I bought a huge, thick fleecy throw for about £20 and everyone wants to steal itit is so soft and luxurious! The brains behind Bombay Stores is 68-year-old Abdul Kader, who came to Britain in 1957. He knew nobody, and started with nothing, but there were jobs. He worked on the London buses and in the Bradford mills. By 1963 he had bought his first business, a former fish and chip shop. His capital was only £100 and his wife, Maryam, worked long hours in the shop making dresses while he drove buses on a double shift to pay for the enterprise. He expanded to the present premises in Shearbridge Road in 1983. Today, annual turnover is £10m and he employs 70 workers. Very efficient and helpful service. They have a cafe for wonderful samosas, coffee and good western style kids meals too. Bombay Stores in Bradford not only sells fabrics that attract customers from all over the world, it also brings together a multicultural community. It is the UK's largest Asian department store. They have a web site with a small online catalogue and various department goods. Opening times: Mon to Fri 10:00am till 07:30pm Sat 10:00am till 08:00pm Sun 12:00pm till 06:00pm

The wide range offers everything from simple plain white cotton to the most heavily embellished and luxurious satins perfect for wedding dresses. They have a dedicated bridal section and I believe they do custom made wedding dresses these do not come cheap but you get what you pay for.

The only thing that does start to get irritating after a while is the music as Bollywood tunes really aren't my thing but it's an INdian store so it fits well with the shop.

I like this store as it has everything all in one place - i think there is 3 floors, each accessible by the old fashioned lift which gives you muscles every time you use it - it is so hard to open and close the doors so im not sure how most people who shop there manage. On the bottom floor there are pet supplies and the odd ornaments and luggage. They also have a part called the bargain basement where they sell off odd bits of old stock like a jumblesale type of sale - ive never found a bargain yet. On the first floor as you go in there are sweets and other goodies galore and toiletries,etcthey do a good range of makeup which is very cheap even though they are the top brands. There is also school uniforms on this floor which are a lot cheaper than other places, but good quality. There is also a wide selection of toys and games, books, dvds, stationary, etc on this floor with many bargains to be had. The space is limitless and you also have brick a brack, decorating and d.i.y supplies, etc on this floor While im not sure which is on which floor there is also a good stock of nightwear, underwear, shoes and clothes. They do baby stuff too and a very good selection of craft supplies. Their bedding and curtains are also a good range and price. As i said they have everything you could need at a good price.

The lift is probably an original feature and is therefore difficult for the elderly and the disabled. It's of the type where you close the doors yourself - mind your fingers - and that also means that if someone forgets, the lift is out of service, but that doesn't happen often. It would be hard to list in order all the floors and what they contain but Boyes does have mini departments with the following ranges; toiletries, toys and stationery, school uniforms, womens clothes, kids clothes, mens clothes, hardware and a very nice craft department. There is also a small but very nice cafe at the top of the store, very quiet, I don't think most people realise it is there.
