I'm a fan. And this café in Southampton really disappointed me. They've junked the proper…read moregrind/expresso making machines in place of snazzy push - button contraptions that do not give the taste of an equivalent cup of coffee made under real pressure. Shameful. How on Earth could M&S senior management allow this short term foolishness, likely just to save a few quid. We noted they were selling fish & chips with peas and a lemon wedge at £9. We decided to try but it soon became clear that was our mistake. They weren't that tasty. The food seemed air fryer cooked, dry, near tasteless and not a good eat really, so real fish & chip shops have no fear of this competition. This is food passable for old folks homes. We didn't have to wait long for the food but here again the server had no tartare sauce to offer (apparently a supply issue) but it was readily available in store just a mere few feet away. £18 for rubbish food. The tomato ketchup, vinegar pouches and salt were seemingly rationed. I asked for some more and some more was handed over, piecemeal. I gave up. Is it a lack of training? Who knows. Then I tried to open the sauce pouches and ended up asking a staff bloke to do it. He struggled but succeeded. I am really annoyed as this is not acceptable.

sole trader is just down the ramp from office shoes in west quay shopping centre in southampton…read more I've always found this store has some nice quality shoes, ranging from sensible, to comfortable, flip flops and other boots etc. all prices are pretty standard rrp, and you'll find that some items are available in other shops within west quay, but most are the same price generally. Nice layout to the store makes shopping the different styles easy. Check the refund policy in this store though, im sure it's exchange or credit note only, which annoys me a bit, may be wrong, it might have changed now. They were very helpful in here last time i went, ordering a pair of shoes from another store in my size to be delivered a few days later at no extrea cost. very helpful.

I really like New Look and i worked here back when i was 16 when it was in the high street…read more Since that point the quality and price is much better. What i like about New Look in general is that you can get everything you want in one shop. Clothes, shoes, underwear and accessories and now they have mens and baby clothes it has everything. The range is also casual all the way to formal and party wear. What i like about this particular New Look is that it is huge, clean and always has lots of stock. The staff on the whole are really friendly and will help you locate stock. Sizing is quite good and now they have a larger Inspire range it is even better.

The clothes themselves are fairly nice and very fashionable - not always sure about the quality though. It seems to be mainly aimed at teenagers and children although there is plenty there for the older woman, but have to be prepared to look. I love their shoes which I find really comfortable, and very reasonably priced - as well as being fashionable. The only thing that bugs me is that I keep being asked at the till whether I want a loyalty card - if I wanted one, I'd ask!

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the poor girl serving me was run ragged back and forth getting different boots. She didn't complain though and was professional throughout. She did however talk me into getting a Faith Duet store card which gave me 10% off my boots. I really like Faith boots, they fit me very well and always last for years (minus regular re-heeling) so always return when I need a new pair. Most of the boots are leather (somer plastic) and as I only buy the leather boots pretty good quality. The prices are not cheap, usually around £80-£100 per pair of boots but now I have my Faith card I might be visiting more often
