We expect such good things from M&S. But what a let down on this visit. No plates at the Scone/Cake table. A half hour wait for anything from the kitchen. We opted for sandwiches which were fine. Usual M&S standard. But the guy on the till was just a little bit offhand and didn't offer a plate for the scone or any butter which was nowhere to be found. I don't know - just an off day perhaps. But for £17 this should have been a much better experience!! And at one stage he piled up a whole bunch of wrapped food items in his hands holding them still with his neck and chin and marched off to the kitchen saying he'd be back. That's a No No when you work in a cafe. I know!

Visited the cafe this morning 09/02/25, we ordered two all day breakfasts and when they arrived they were both cold. On informing a member of staff who was very helpful and friendly she took the breakfasts away and had them microwaved which I wasn't happy about. The breakfast returned on the same plates and still not warm. Sadly we will not be returning as cold congealed cooked breakfast is not a nice experience

Sunday lunchtime. There was a 10 minute queue to be served, to be then told no all day veggie breakfast available. Went back to table to discuss alternatives, which weren't plentiful. Back to the queue to order again. Another 10 minute wait. Hot food arrived about 15 mins later with friendly waitress. It was nice, but the experience overall not the best.

The store is quite large and requires a lot of walking to navigate. The store has a nice ambiance, but the designs could be more inclusive of different body shapes. There are too many short top styles available, which is not to my taste. Additionally, many of the knitwear items I looked at were made of acrylic, which has a tendency to cheapen the appearance of clothing. I would expect better quality materials from a reputable brand like Marks & Spencer.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Jo who does the bra fitting service. I popped in with my young teenage daughter for a fitting but hadn’t realised you needed an appointment as I couldn’t find anywhere on the Marks website to say so. Jo was great, just giving us a few minutes of her time in between customers was all we needed, this was my daughter’s first time having a fitting and Jo made her feel really comfortable. Thanks again Jo i really do appreciate great customer service.

My partner and I visited the store for a quick grocery shop recently. We’ve been shopping at M&S across the country for many years and never had a bad experience before. This time, however, we were followed in by the security guard who then proceeded to trail us through the entirety of our shopping trip making us incredibly uncomfortable. This man made absolutely zero effort to make it less obvious that he was monitoring us. He returned to his post by the door when we went in to the self-checkout. My partner made sure that she got a receipt for our shopping (which we normally don’t bother with) because we just knew we were going to get stopped by him and sure enough, as we were about to exit, he called us back in for absolutely no reason and asked for our receipt. At no point did he try and stop any of the other people leaving the store and the whole situation left us incredibly upset. I understand the way loss prevention works and in no way, shape or form were his actions appropriate. We both wore non-baggy clothes (I’m a doctor and was dressed in fitted scrubs). Neither of us carried any bags or containers. We got our trolley and went about shopping like a normal couple asking for help from store employees a couple times to find things. We are fully cognisant that what we experienced was actually racial profiling, being the only young non-white people in the store. It reflects on how the store trains their security personnel and should, perhaps, be something to reflect on. On our part, we will be looking for an alternative to shopping here in the future.

A spacious, light, airy store, with a quality feel about it Ive only jumped on to comment after being bowled over by a young member of staff a couple of days ago.. With so many rude and entitled young folk in communities these days, to meet a smart, polite, charming and engaging young guy was a breath of fresh air. Nothing was to much effort and even after hed helped me, I noticed when he was asked by other shoppers, where a product was, he would lead them to what they were looking for, chatting warmly with the shoppers and never once just pointed them in the direction of what they were looking for A classic example of how simple acts make the difference and can impact on someones day. Oh I neber mentioed I was told by anoher staff member this young man was on his induction day ! Hes going to do very well... Way to go George

We had to ask at the till for a menu as the listings were poorly shown high up in the air above the tills. We ordered all day breakfast and coffee and had to wait sometime before it was served to as at our table. The food was cold and not up to the standard anyone would expect from M&S. Mushrooms were under cooked and the streaky bacon was thin and though to eat. In the past M&S always had high standards, but today's meal was so poor and anyone could get better service in the local park cafe.

Avoid this M&S. Due to a staffing issue they were unable to process my payment in store for an ex-display sofa on the day I came in, but promised they would keep it for us and call in the morning to sort payment out. They called the morning after saying they couldn't "reserve" anything as this is against their policy and we would have to come in immediately if we wanted it. I told her I am at work today so the earliest we could come in would be 7pm. Came in at 7pm to discover they sold it to another customer!! Keep getting told they "don't reserve items" and "it's first come first serve", but I never wanted to reserve it and I was first to come. I wanted to buy it there and then when I first came in and had my card out and ready but due to a M&S staffing issue they couldn't do it. Called to complain over a week ago but haven't heard back yet. Very unprofessional service. Wasted hours of driving and petrol.

Cafe is always dirty and service is extremely slow especially compared to other cafe chains eg Costa. Sometimes I walk in and walk out again. They have various counters serving coffee and where you pay but they are never fully manned. There just isn't enough staff employed to give a good service which must be frustrating for them too. Cafe isn't a quality Marks & Spencer brand. If you have the opportunity go elsewhere.

Slow slow slow. Told 20 minutes in reality was 45/50 mins. Ordered fish and chips came out cold.. Ordered 3x jacket potatoes with cheese and beans, was served with the tiniest portion of beans on each. We asked for more beans but was told it’s the correct portion that’s been served however if you go to other M&S stores the portions are better. We asked for salt - no salt was the reply…. TESCO is 10 second walk away. Go send someone to get salt. Overall poor poor poor. No worth the wait

1 star for the cafe. There is always a long queue to order, food takes ages to come (30 minutes for jacket potatoes, which is a very simple order). Massive inconsistencies with what food they have, sometimes the jacket potato comes with the coleslaw, sometimes it doesn’t.. with no prior warning or apology. We chose and paid extra to have beans and cheese on our jacket yesterday, but honestly we shouldn’t have bothered as there was hardly any beans. When I asked for more the lady said ‘that is our standard serving’, which it isn’t, I always have jacket potato’s at M&S cafes elsewhere and they are never as stingy as the portion I was served. This cafe is going downhill massively, the manager needs to sort out the food inconsistencies, long queues to order, make it clear what food you actually have and also provide customer service to staff.

It's getting worse. Not sure if they encourage theft or trying to get rid of their 'older' customers. Popped in there to get £100 gift card. No tills. There are some self service ones but when you're buying for an older relative and it's difficult to even get a card in the first place, filled me with 0 confidence the person I was buying for would be able to use it. No sale today and shopped elsewhere. 3 out of 5, generally above average and is good service. Staff very helpful. Had one occasion - Christmas with the click and collect - staff member advised to pack into bags and proceed to checkout and pay (I have a ticket, email of order, a bar code - I'm thinking ok - go to till and pay, not a problem). Get to the till, checkout staff then requests I unpack all the shopping for her to scan it and then I can re-pack everything. Indicates staff have good intentions but mis-management from above giving poor leadership. Have shopped here again but not for food at Christmas

I can’t believe the amount of money that’s being brought into this business and yet they can’t be bothered to have a member of staff plus maintenance team to keep up with toilet hygiene. The location for the toilets is ridiculous you have to walk the other side to the store to locate the toilets when they could have the toilets located nearer to the restaurant. The smell of the toilets plus seeing ceilings falling apart including leaks is utterly disgusting and gross to witness. It frustrates me as I have a mother who has dementia that clearly needs to be guided to the toilets that’s nowhere near the restaurant. It makes my blood boil how the store can’t even think for others that have disabilities or even have a brain to locate the toilet close enough to the restaurant. It’s a huge store that has enough space to relocate the toilets. SORT THIS STORE TOILET HYGIENE OUT PLEASE ITS UTTERLY DISGUSTING!!!!!

My daughter and I had a shopping day out . We decided on Marks for lunch. That was the worst decision ever. We ordered tuna and cheese toasties. We waited at least 45 minutes to be served with it. That because I asked how much longer it would be. People arriving after us were receiving their orders. Plus we had finished our drinks in the wait which was a huge mistake as when the orders arrived they were not one bit like a toastie..more like a load of greasy sludge on the plate. Absolutely disgusting and no drink to wash or down with either. I will never visit there again. Next Store food looked lovely and wish I had taken my daughter there

I am reasonably technically competent and support the idea of self service, but, today, 3 out of 4 items I was buying failed the self service scan and required staff to intervene (no explanation on the screen and no option for me to input the product code).

I’m all for self service checkouts, but the way this store has implemented it is a shambles. No staff to hand and no obvious place to find staff members to ask questions.

Thankfully, Next is just around the corner.

I used this store regularly and really liked it, but their recent insistence to use the self-checkouts across the whole store is infuriating. By all means have self-service tills available but do not remove the option of a person and customer interactions for those who want that experience. Staff could quite easily have served me at the 'refund only' till straight away before belittling me and marching me back to the machine only to find it was, as I had explained, a problem with the machine. Quite a different experience to usual. I think m&s may have overlooked the reason why a lot of people liked to shop at their stores. Hopefully they will make amends sooner rather than later.

Oh! How little you understand shopping, Marks and Spencers of Shoreham. Today I visited, partly to buy my parents clothes from a brand I know they use, and partly to enjoy the kind customer service and benefit from a little interaction in my busy, fairly lonely life. I chose a linen shirt for Dad, a white blouse for Mum. I tried to checkout in menswear, but was repulsed by the automated checkout. High anxiety. I want a human! I cried. The helper nearby tells me, they're all automated now, no humans! Horrified I raced to ladieswear to check and indeed, no attended checkouts. I exclaimed my sorrow - we may as well all shop online now! And left. Indeed I bought Dad the same looking linen shirt for £24 pounds less online - delivery tomorrow, in person. I walked over to Tesco and bought linen trousers for Mum and checked out with a real human. Phew! Anxiety back down to normal levels.

Marks and Spencer has always been a step above the other large retail shops. They have recently installed self checkouts. I found them to be cumbersome and slow, because of the security tags on the cloths it repeatedly needed an associate to come over and help. Unfortunately there was only one available for all the self check out kiosks. Consequently it took more than 20 minutes to get finished. To add insult to injury as my mother and I walked out of the shop the alarm sounded due to missed anti theft tags. The employee who came to us was rude and unhelpful, he was offended that I told him the new system was horrible. Yet another delicate ‘woke’ individual, who does not understand the concept of customer service.

The first time I was told I had to put through the scanner the second time after a discussion they opened a checkout "If you really need us to?!" I appreciate the staffing situation but as there were 4 members of staff conversing on the shop floor so I didn't feel that was the reason. Are you able to confirm that a checkout will always be available or do I need to use the Waitrose which is more local to me. I am happy to scan with a basket of groceries but not a trolly full.

I have visited this cafe a number of times at lunch time and every single time there is a very long wait as only two of the tills have staff. These staff take orders and also make coffee which makes it take such a long time. They rarely have jacket potatoes available as usually run out. Last time we visited they said the dishwasher was broken so they served all food in paper boxes. I had a jacket potato with beans and cheese and there were hardly any beans and it was very difficult to eat out of this box. The portion size was also about 1/3 due to this. They should have explained before I paid. I thought M&S standards would be higher. They need to employ more people and /or manage this cafe better.

We went to Marks and Spencer coffee shop for coffee and a snack. Slow wait in line to order then had to wait for the coffee to be made. Was very busy but managed to get the very last table available,

I have just had an appalling experience here,within five minutes of walking around the store I was being followed quite obviously by store staff and prompted with questions,I understand this is a technique taught in retail to deter theives,I also was followed by a security guard before purchasing over £60 pound worth of items ,this all was incredibly rude and offensive as I take a lot of pride in my personal appearance and purchase alot of food and home items here,I am a young women who was simply spending the afternoon with my family shopping in the store ,I don't see the justification for this kind of behaviour.

This cafe is becoming expensive now. Prices are creeping up, however still popular with long queues and often only 2 out the 4 tills open. Coffee is average but most over £3 a cup. Bacon rolls have reduced in size with a smaller bap than before. Bacon over cooked today. Cups are smaller with no saucers provided now. Staff looked fed up too today. Shame, however with the fairly affluent customer using the cafe, I don’t think what they are currently offering will be impacted too much.

To the lady named Debbie who smilingly went about her job, wiping down tables and clearing them, ready for the next client - you are most definitely an absolutely fabulous role model for a happy worker!!! Hope M&S management appreciate you ❤️

Biggest M&S I've ever seen. Loads of space and stock in the clothes area plus a food shop that we did not visit. Unfortunately wife was told that the item she wanted was no longer available. We ordered it on line on our return to base.

Good range of clothes to choose from. Staff are helpful and friendly and the place is clean and tidy. Staff tend to be a little older/mature and this shows in the way they conduct themselves. Prices are a little higher than some similar outlets but that comes with the brand. Is the quality better? Really need to compare each items. More is not ALWAYS better.

I was in store at 0810am today.The music was so loud, and absolute row to my ears.I approached one of the managers,nice young man and asked if I could make a comment,which was “ it used to be a peaceful shopping experience in here” and referred to the music.He replied that m and s is celebrating pride month and that is why music is louder than normal.I am NOT homophonic and that comment isn’t relevant.Can the music be delayed till after 9am? It puts me off looking round the store.Compromise needed please.

Difficult to find help, very few staff around and, if you manage to find one, they will tell you they are in another department and cannot help you!

Seriously large store. Even has an opticians. Well spaced and good selection of clothing. Fitting rooms are of a good size. Tills can get busy with queues at both mens and womens clothing areas. Good sized car park.

The new opticians shop is wonderful, with a great selection. I took my son's broken glasses into the shop and the staff were so helpful and fixed them in minutes. I will definitely be back for my annual checkup.

We thought we would splash out and buy 2 sofa's from M&S. What a mistake that has been. When the sofa's arrived one was broken. So a replacement was ordered. Weeks went by and then M&S contacted us to say that they could no longer replace the sofa as it wasn't in production anymore. As we had two sofa's we didn't want different style/colours etc so we asked for the money back. M&S said they would refund the money as soon as they had picked up the sofa's. Now I've been waiting ages for them to arrange for the sofa's to be picked up, something you would think would be easy to do, but every time I contact them they are still 'working on it'. In the meantime we can't order new sofa's as we don't have the refund. We've had a poor product and poor service. We will never be buying from M&S again.

Had a quick pit stop here. Nice coffee and a very tasty lemon drizzle slice of cake. Average prices. Friendly service. Not busy but many tables needed clearing.

Feels very classy but also like you need a golf cart to get around as it's so massive and set out like a jesters labyrinth. If you navigate successfully from the main entrance (next to big Tesco) then you are rewarded with a food section (not a minotaur as I was expecting and relieved not to find). While they sell most items I focussed mainly on the bakery section. Which was great. Overall: classy, bit confusing.

Dropped in at lunchtime. Was a nice sunny day so I sat outside, alone. Ash trays full, cigarette packs on tables and floor along with dog ends. A great location but needs tidying up before they open!

The food was lukewarm and tasted terrible. The gravy looked like it had been sitting there since early that morning, with a hard, plasticky residue on top. The roast potatoes were undercooked, hard, and stale—I could barely stick a fork into one. The peas were shriveled and old. The manager was unprofessional, referring to my partner as “mate” while handling the situation. She also mentioned she hadn’t received any other complaints, which I don’t understand why that was relevant to our concern. Given the state of the building, the environment, and the type of people who eat there, it’s clear why there wouldn’t be many complaints—it’s full of the kind of crowd you’d expect to see on a Jeremy Kyle show. Additionally the children’s ice cream parlor was filthy. There were sprinkles scattered across the floor and tabletops and the ice cream toppings were stored in dirty, unappealing containers. The sauces looked disgusting, with dirty, crusted edges. The actual ice cream itself came out of the machine half melted. The whole building is just a mess and looks completely neglected, much like the hillbilly crowd it attracts

Nice coffee, but food was terrible. Had the full English and it was inedible as everything tasted like it had been deep fried to death. Couldn't eat anything other than the toast. My partner and son had the egg and salmon on a muffin, but had to leave all the salmon as it was really poor quality. Not a good experience I'm afraid. The cakes looked nice and so if i was you I would stick to drinks and cakes only.

I brought my class as part of a school trip to the bakery. I cannot thank the staff at Truffles enough! The children will never forget their experience of buying a treat independently. You were all so kind and patient with them. Thank you so much!
