“I was recommended to come here by a local off the peg suit shop in Leeds. The service offered by Wayne was great, he listened, was empathetic and knowledgable! I ordered a made to measure wedding suit with incredible customisation. Extremely quick service and convenient booking system. Also worth noting I apprehensive about the budget but Wayne ensured I stayed within budget and did not push anything. Since then I have ordered a tailored shirt for the big day too!”

“We have recently had a new log burner installed in our snug, replacing an old, useless gas fire. We worked with Becky in the York showroom and the install team were Tom and Matty. They were all professional and knowledgeable and we were pleased to have Tom and Matty in the house! It was a tricky job but it was carried out to a high standard and we are delighted with the result. The room has been transformed. Would happily recommend.”

“Just paid my first visit to this store! What a wonderful place; great choice, super prices, lovely staff member (Michelle? Sorry if I got that wrong) helpful, but also happy to leave you alone. I will come again. It’s rare that I leave a review before I’ve even left the Car Park, and even rarer a positive review. However, when things are good, independents like these need the help of word of mouth.”

“A big shout out for Tom for the support he gave us when we visited Everyman in York today. We are still adjusting to life in a wheelchair so were disappointed to find that there is no lift access to theatre one on the first floor. Tom patiently helped us negotiate the stairs and ensured that we were safely seated. His kindness and generosity contributed significantly to an enjoyable day out. That said, surely there should at least be a stair lift installed. Planning regulations were given as the reason for inadequate access provision but surely the Local Authority could be supporting the building owners to find a solution which respects the historic building whilst upholding York’s commitment to inclusivity.”

“Came back here for a second time to order the same dishes. Amazing steamed sea bass with chilli, lime, and coriander broth, and sticky rice. And the Bangkok platter and sweetcorn cakes to start. Delicious! Will definitely be coming back when we’re next in York.”

“One of my favourite Thai places in York. The food here is absolutely delicious and great as a dine in or takeaway option. The gluten free options are clearly labelled on the menu with quite a few different dishes being gf. The only thing to note is that when I said I was a coeliac, I was told the gf labelled fish cakes wouldn't be suitable due to cooking methods creating cross contamination. While it is really good that the staff are so well trained in dietary requirements and were able to tell me this clearly to prevent me from getting poorly, it is a shame that something labelled gluten free on the menu wasn't ultimately suitable for coeliacs. They instead advised a different gluten free starter which ended being fantastic.”

“I haven't been to a barbers in years- I shave my own head and used to do my own face. I've just been letting the beard go wild, but it recently went from "mountain man" to "cult leader" so I thought it was time for a tidy up. Headed here based on other reviews and thought it would be worth a go. Booked via Booksy- dead easy and convenient. Arrived on time and got a cracking beard trim. Twenty minutes, full works- no nonsense. Neatened up perfectly (and my beard is all kinds of awkward) and finished with a straight razor and hot towel the old-fashioned way. Great value too. I wouldn't know about head hair, not having any myself. But if it's as good as the facial hair work, do it.”

“I had a wonderful stay at Roomzzz Hotel York! This was the first hotel me and my boyfriend stayed at, and it will always be our favourite . The rooms were spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, making it a perfect home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. We missed breakfast in the morning and the lady at reception made sure we got our breakfast. The location was great—close to key attractions but still peaceful and quiet. I especially appreciated the thoughtful little touches that made the stay extra comfortable. I highly recommend Roomzzz to anyone visiting York we will be visiting again!”

“Although I didn't make a purchase the gentleman nevertheless was courteous and took time to show me some quite superb jackets. I will certainly remember this service if decide to buy said jacket. Great shop.”

“First time here (not been to McArthur Glen for a few years), and found they had some great clothes and different style t-shirts at a good price. (Which I bought). Happy to see they are coming soon to Dalton Park!”

“I got exactly the right mattress for me, the sales assistant was on her own in the shop, but her customer service was 100% for all customers. I took delivery on the due date well within the given timescales on a red hot day. I can't fault Bobby's service, a polite phone call early morning to confirm delivery. The politest man you could wish to meet, delighted I'd put the mattress to be taken away in the bag provided when I bought the mattress. Bobby unwrapped the new mattress, and put it on the divan base. He also gave me maintenance information to keep my mattress up to standard. Would I shop at Dreams again? Absolutely!”

“Extensive range of excellent quality furniture and accessories. Jason helped me to choose, nothing was too much trouble for him, it was difficult to choose from such an extensive range, but managed in the end to pick 2x 2 seaters at reasonable price.”

“Really nice little store with a good selection. I bought a futon here and they helped me carry it home.”

“The Milner is still upto a great standard. Staff are excelent. We were in a front facing superior room. With fantastic views of the Minster.

“Looking for a specific style of shoes, tried all over York & finally found them here. Assistant was very helpful to me whilst having to try to serve another customer who wouldn't get off her phone for the whole time I was in the shop. Very happy with my shoes & the service.”

“I recently purchased a suit for my wedding from your store in York, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel at ease during what can be a stressful process. They took the time to listen to my preferences and offered great advice on fit, style, and fabric choices. The suit itself was tailored perfectly and looked amazing on the big day. The attention to detail was exceptional, and I could tell they truly care about providing top-notch service. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality suit and an outstanding customer experience!”

“Visited Hackett a couple of times on a York visit. Great service, polite and helpful. Lauren was excellent an asset to retail. Sale prices very good and quality clothing.”

“Bought a Velerup wardrobe from the york store . It took a couple of weeks to arrive I was pleasantly surprised at the quality as I hadn't seen it in store . Quite heavy solid build and good instructions (took two to lift it into place once the back was on . Draw runners were metal not cheap plastic ones from other suppliers. Would recommend to anybody .”

“Got a really good deal on a winter waterproof coat, but when I got home I changed my mind on colour. Went back next weekend and staff were fantastic, swapped it to a black one for me with no issues at all, and even marked it down to the same price it was the weekend before. Really happy with the service and will definitely buy more from this store.”

“Staff are always really helpful at this B & Q, but when I went on Monday, John, in the Garden Centre at the time, was fantastic. Got the really heavy stuff on to a trolley, he went and got, and took it all out to my car after I paid. Thanks John, hugely appreciated your help.”

“Friendly, helpful staff in this large, all encompassing store. Have always found all the staff are very helpful. If you can't find what you're after, they know where it is.”

“Great pub , by the road side so parking is a bit difficult but not impossible beer great and a good selection, well worth a visit, I should know as I did the line cleaning there.”
