Marks & Spencer

J’adore ca! C’est genial.

Marks and Sparks. I’ve heard so much about M&S from Mrs. K. (my wife is a Brit who moved to the States), I had to make sure to stop by here at least once. Marks is the quintessential British department store.
With departments selling everything from clothing to kitchen appliances to bed and bath soft furnishings, plus a major supermarket of food, it’s possible that you could shop M&S and never need to go anywhere else. They literally sell everything but cars!
Very good quality stuff. Not just the clothing (which tends to run more towards the expensive side than the moderate end), the food options are plentiful. Lots of ready-​to-​heat items and things that need little preparation.
I managed to find exactly what I needed — a decent pair of sneakers and a warm sweater. I also stocked up on a few eats too.
Yay, Marks and Sparks! I’ll be back.

Marks & spencer food is mouth watering. garlic bread, chicken kievs, olives, doughnut. etc never ending listbrilliant quality and reasonable price

M&S! You know this place surely! Does the best food and the best knickers!!! Their chocolate profiterole dessert is to die for!

I love clothes from the Marks & Spencer Per Una range because fot their quality and fit. Actually, all clothes from marks & spencer are really good in quality and they can last you for quite a while.
The food selection and quality from Marks is also very good, and of top quality. you can really taste the difference in the quality of the food that they sell, compared with the ones bought from the average grocery shop.
Cons: it is more expensive and therefore, makes is less affordable in the bad economic situation. however, if you can afford it, it is definitely worth the extra you are paying.

Pros This Marks and Spencer is located in Reading town centre, and is absolutely huge. Located over two floors, the shop sells a range of items– from clothes to food to homewares. As is typical with Marks and Spencer, the items sold are good quality and good value– although you may be able to get the items cheaper elsewhere, they may not be of comparable quality. Staple items are often very good value.
Staff are always very friendly and welcoming.
Cons As it’s so large, it’s quite easy to feel overwhelmed in this store. I also found it quite difficult to find what I was looking for, and even to find a shop assistant to help me.

Great store only thing is you end up spending more than planned i like the way the store is layout the aisle are clear and clutter free always likes nice and clean in there

a good store, in a nice shopping centre, the staff are more helpful here than in other m and s I have tried. Does get busy on saturday — but some good offers — sale today I think!

This branch of Marks & Spencer is huge and is one of the best stores in Reading. It’s on two floors, basically food and ladieswear is on the ground floor and menswear is upstairs. There’s a good selection of quality clothes at reasonable prices although I feel they’ve tried to go more upmarket in recent years with variable levels of success.
The Food Hall is the best part of the shop for me. There’s an excellent range of products including ready meals, fruit and vegetables, bread, confectionery and wines. Yes the prices are a little on the high side but I feel it’s good value for money and there are usually some special offers, e.g. ‘buy one get one half-​price’. There’s a good selection of sandwiches and snacks for town centre workers and quick-​service checkouts which are handy when you’ve not got much time for lunch.

big convenient department store with big foodhall with top quality food.
I am impressed with M&S in Reading especially the foodhall.
I’m not a big fan of the clothes, maybe that’s because i’m not 40 yet!
It also has an exchange bureau upstairs.

I prefer this Marks and Spencers to the other one in Basingstoke as it is bigger. I either shop for food or for clothes for my son. Gone have the day’s (mostly) that you would come across the snooty shop assistant who though she was a cut above the other shop assistant’s (and the customers by some of their attitudes at the time) because they worked for M&S. Nowadays the staff are much more friendly and approachable and it has become a store that people from all walks of life feel comfortable shopping in.
The Per Una range attracts the younger generation with it’s trendy styles but there are still plenty of twin set and pearls type clothes for us oldies! The store is very clean and tidy and everything is nicely displayed.
The children’s section if upstairs and there is a lift if you have a pushchair with you which is very useful. They have some lovely quality clothes for children but I wouldn’t say they have a huge selection. They also sell quality school unforms for a good price and often have reduced or 3 for 2 offers and such like.
The food section is where I shop most often and I love the quality of the food on offer and they also sell good quality wine at a very reasonable price.
