You name it. The staff are very friendly and pleasant, always on hand to help. I myself am saving up for Xmas (coming to quick) and they have some great ideas for presents too. My advice, save up a bit, put some money aside and go and treat yourself from time to time. At 'House of Fraser' their is something there for everyone!

It makes navigating aisles if anyone else is down one difficult as there isn't enough space to past my chair. 2 out of the 4 "big" (as in not a pack of 2 heatgen thermal tops or socks lol) clothing pieces didn't hold up even the first wear. I bought bootcut joggers and a charcoal hooded lounge top and those are fine, but the green satin feel pyjamas has ripped and the green lounge top has a hole where the neck band meets the fluffy fabric. The sizing for the pyjamas is also really weird. Can't keep them on my waist despite pulling the drawstring as tight as possible, but sitting down it's like there isn't enough fabric in the lower hip, hence 4 inch rip in the seam, despite me being a size 16-18 and I bought a size 20. The top is tighter than the bottoms. Just another instance of clothing retailers adding an extra inch or two for every size up rather than realising that body proportions aren't just straight up and down (unless rectangle is your body shape, but at plus size that is unusual). Disappointing considering M&S isn't cheap, even outlet prices are more expensive than buying clothing from other high street retailers. I'd recommend checking fabric types and such otherwise it isn't good value if items don't even last past the first wear.

Generally the stock is well picked over, and a bit of a mess! You can however, if you're prepared to fight the crowds get some good bargains - the best being on children's clothes. What I tend to do is buy for 6/12 months ahead as the clothes on sale are usually from the season before. For example, winter clothes can usually be bought in spring and visa versa. for ladies clothes, there isn't an awful lot - but you can get some good bargains if you need to stock up your underwear draw!

Flemingate Shopping centre is a the new shopping street located near the train station in Beverley…read more This review is based on todays experience (2 weeks after opening) and as I visit in future, I will update my review. Firstly, although it is classed and called a shopping centre, it is really a street with shops all long both sides. The street itself is quite pretty and keeps the styling of its surrounding areas. It was very clean but there is a lack of seating areas (not that we'd want to sit down as it was raining!). There are still loads of empty units. To be fair, most of them have been let and are just waiting for the tennants to move in, but at the time of writing the selection was ok, nothing special. The main tennant was Debenhams, which is quite a bit smaller that the Hull City Centre branch, but is much nicer and has that 'new' feel to it. Other retailers that are open include Calendar Club (pop up shop), Card Factory, Poundland, The Entertainer, Tresspas, Wilko, Costa and Patisserie Valerie (located within Debenhams). Units let and still to open include PremierInn, Parkway Cinemas, Greggs, Deli No One, Stagefright, Zizzi, Outfit, H&M, Guest & Philips and local clothes shop - Bolo. As you can see from the list, when everything is up and running, there will be quite a good selection. There is plenty of parking thanks to the multistory car park. There are only a few spaces on levels 0, 1 and 2 but get to level 3 and there is plenty more space. Prices are ok, but not really cheap either (especially when you can use one of the free car parks in the town centre), however, it is only £2 all day on a Sunday. The PremierInn will be using the car park which has a fee of £7.50 per night. From the street you can walking to Beverley Town Centre in about 10 minutes, which has a lot of the high street names missing from this development, such as Boots, WHSmith, M&S etc. On he whole, a nice development which, when all the units are open, will have a nice variety of shops and restaurants

St Stephen's Shopping Centre is the main shopping centre serving the town centre of Hull in the…read moreEast Riding of Yorkshire, the location within the city is good, it's pretty much right next to the train station. The mall opened in 2007 and the interior still feels modern, especially in comparison to the rest of the city. It's pretty much a straight high-street-style walk throughout the mall, with a small number of food and drink outlets upstairs including Starbucks and Nando's. The main flagship store in the mall is a large Tesco supermarket, this remains open between 6 am and 12 am between Monday and Saturday, even when the mall shuts much earlier. Between the hours of 7 pm and 12 am when the mall is closed and Tesco is open, you can expect to be allowed to enter the mall, but only for Tesco with barriers in place. Again, I do find the mall shuts a little early, while the centre remains open until 7 pm, most of the stores end up closing an hour earlier and starting to wind down even before that. With the location of Hull pretty much in the sticks, with few alternatives nearby, this makes it even more frustrating for people who prefer to go out in the afternoons and evenings. The selection of stores within the centre is OK. Brands located here include Boots, EE, JD Sports, Superdrug, TK Maxx and a couple of others. The security at the front seemed friendly, and helped offer directions elsewhere in the centre, although they could have done with being inside the mall, due to groups of children loitering, and littering, which meant the mall was untidy and I was having to watch my step to avoid getting something stuck to my shoe. Again, lots of wasted potential, and the best out of a bad bunch of places to shop while in Hull. 3*
