Customer friendly store in Grays

“Visited Lakeside with the hope of finding an outfit for my sons wedding. First shop I went into and what a delightful experience it was. From the moment I walked in Jayne was so helpful and I came away completely fitted out and extremely happy. They even packed it up and sent it to my daughter as we were on the way home to Spain and didn't have room in our luggage. Couldn't recommend them enough.”

“The staff are so professional and always polite the shop is great always managed to find everything I want”

“Really happy with my tattoo. Had mine done by Ash and he was lovely, informative and comforting. I only had a small name tattoo but he gave me full creative control and made sure I was happy with all aspects before starting. Cheerful and welcoming staff, atmosphere and decor were amazing too loved all the little bits and bobs on the wall and the quality of tattoo is great.”

“Very very nice local shop! Patient and professional, got my problem solved in an hour. And price quite fair. Highly recommend.”

“Recently went into Tui lakeside to book our honeymoon, we was helped by isla who went through a couple of options with us. We finally settled on a destination and then she also sorted out our travel insurance. On arriving home found an email to state Isla had booked us onto a free excursion. Thank you this means so much especially for our honeymoon!”

“From our very first enquiry to the final fitting, our experience with Howdens Lakeside has been outstanding. Lynette, Lou and the whole Lakeside team have been absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire journey. Right from the initial discussions, Lynette and Lou were incredibly attentive, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping us create the perfect kitchen. Their knowledge, patience, and willingness to accommodate every request made the whole process feel smooth and amazing. What truly stood out was how far they went above and beyond, often stepping in to assist with things outside of their remit and always making themselves available to ensure everything stayed on track. Their commitment and care have been truly appreciated. The end result is a beautiful, high-quality kitchen, and we couldn’t be happier. We wholeheartedly recommend Howdens Lakeside for anyone looking for an exceptional kitchen.”

“Sheree did all of our floral arrangements for our December 2024 wedding, including bouquets, top table arrangements, table flowers, cake decorations, and petal confetti. We absolutely cannot recommend Sheree highly enough! She was lovely to work with, from when we first met her right up to the big day. Always really responsive with texts / emails, and happy to take our ideas and run with them! We had so many compliments on all of our florals, and so many people asking to take them home after the ceremony. My bouquet travelled with me on our honeymoon, and still looked and smelled amazing after a week living in a large jug at the hotel. Sheree was happy to advise us what worked with our colour palette and what was in season, and the results were gorgeous. The pine and eucalyptus which we used smelled incredible for weeks afterwards, and all of the delicate florals were so fresh and perfectly chosen for the big day.”

“Absolutely phenomenal! I got a tattoo done there today and couldn’t be more happy. Shout out to Jaimie at Zombies, a master at his craft with great attention to detail, also a very nice guy. I recommend him highly! Great place to get tatted up!”

“Ali was brilliant, never bought clothes from a suit shop before. Ali welcomed me and made me feel at ease whilst helping me find the best shoes and clothes for my new promotion. Couldn’t recommend him more. Definitely will be back for more soon!”

“My wife and I had a lovely experience at the store. Martin B who assisted us was very friendly and walked us through everything we needed to know. He explained about our purchase and went through all the details of the product very well.”

“I found them excellent from start to finish. The pre order consultation was very good, Nytol is now a restricted product apparently....... The order was despatched quickly and arrived as expected and the prices were very impressive. I will certainly be using them again”

“Amazing tattoos done by Kerie! She is not only an incredible artist but also a wonderful person. Her studio is clean and tidy, and she maintains a highly professional demeanor throughout the process. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for quality tattoo work.”

“Had an amazing experience getting tattooed by Natalia. So grateful for her remarkable drawing skills and attention to even the tiniest of details. The tattoo came out perfect and I am so happy with the results! Natalia was also very kind which sooted my nerves ☺️ will 100% be visiting again”

“Wow! I made an appointment at this tattoo studio because of the good Google ratings and the fast responses on my request. The job sounded tricky for me: touch up my existing, 25 year old tattoo and change it from colour to black. After entering the small studio and a welcome I realized pictures on the wall: Ed Sheeran, Jose Mourinho... Famous customers trusted that studio. My tattoo took around 2 hours and I am absolutely amazed with the result and also the patience the artist draw line by line. Everything looked hygienic. So simply a recommendation - what an amazing studio. I will come back. Thank you so much!”
