Casual chic in Stoke

“Gorgeous gem of a shop and a lovely, helpful staff member. I love my new sparkly jumper!”

“I'm not giving you a bad star rating as I have yet to get in the shop....you need to update your website!! It says you are open on a Monday, I came across your shop on a monday last month and saw a jacket in window I liked, checked website which said open on mondays, thought I'd try again yesterday, travelling about 20miles, checked website, said open til 5.30, you were closed again! So I found a jacket in another shop, please update your website before you lose more customers.”

“The service we received from Kings for our wedding suits was fabulous and personal throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and they were generous with their time. The suits looked great on the day, having been tailored by the on-site seamstress. Particularly, they all understood the additional needs of an autistic child and handled him with kind respect. He loved visiting!”

“Excellent!! I was delighted to have discovered She Devil for my Mother of the Bride dress. I'd already looked elsewhere but returned to She Devil The range of outfits was stunning and I didn't feel any pressure. This had bothered me most that I would feel pushed into something I didn't want but my experience at She Devil was the quite the opposite. In fact it was my third return to the shop when I purchased and I ended up buying the Veni dress I'd first tried on there. The staff were really patient with me because I didn't really know what I was looking for. The ladies serving were so knowledgable about the dresses and really tried to help me choose the right outfit. It was a wonderful experience with prices to suit all pockets - even some lovely sale outfits that i's asked to try after seeing them on their website. I also discovered a lovely casual range of clothing downstairs and ended up buying a couple of tops of I'd also seen on their on lline sale too. Thank you again Chrissie and team for such a positive experience. Jan x”

“First visit, we will be back! Great food, great service and well priced food and drink. Well worth the trip, cosy yet a real fun place to be.”

“Gorgeous selection of shoes, professionally fitted & built to last. Nice selection of accessories also, I’ve bought cheap shoes in the past but my kids feet have hurt & they’re a false economy. You can’t go wrong here.”

“Great quality clothes shop in the heart of Cheadle town. We are so lucky to have this beautiful place. Sells beautiful Italian clothes the lovely layered look ones with nice soft floaty materials. Other clothes also sold here. A good range of fashion footwear can be found here as well as bags, purses, scarves and costume jewellery. You have to be quick, the best day to shop here is a Thursday when the new stock is in, it quickly sells!! Any day is good though. Stock is replenished weekly with new items to keep it interesting.”

“Can’t cope with how gorgeous the food is here! Portion sizes are great and excellent value for money! Food is delicious and always hot! I like the fact that my sandwich is cut in half and wrapped separately as sometimes I don’t have time to eat all of it so I can save it for later! Owner is lovely and highly experienced! Brilliant little take away shop!”

“Brilliant place to eat, the food is superb, cooked fresh, always hot at your plate, couldn't ask for better I have never been disappointed.”

“Top-tier sushi and beyond! Each piece is fresh, vibrant, and perfectly crafted. Ramen is rich and comforting, and every dish on the menu is a must-try. The staff were sweet, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Zumuku delivers Japanese cuisine at its finest!”

“Amazing venue, everywhere looks really funky great music playing. Service was good. Ordered 3 tapas plates each- quite big portions we couldn’t finish it all. All lovely The rustic bread with olive oil turned out to be toasted too much which meant it was a too hard around all edges and not great for dipping as didn’t absorb the oil- I’m sure this was a one off mistake Overall would definitely return”

“Toffs is a wonderful cafe right in the middle of Hanley. It's got a gorgeous terrace facing south meaning you've got sun all day. I had a latte and a baklava, probably the best I had in my life. And the family who runs the business, they are the friendliest you can get - you won't get a better welcome and service anywhere near. Will certainly return.”

“Really nice and friendly atmosphere,with plenty of choice on wines and spirits.Great beer garden to side with far reaching views.We held a party there using marquee erected on beer garden.Recommended.”

“I loved my trip to Roman, the Sales girl went above and beyond to help us choose the right dresses and became our personal shopper, I got some really nice dresses”

“Great place. Customer service is fantastic. The owner, Abbi, will give you great advice on what dish to choose and it's clear that the quality of the food is most important to him. He did not disappoint. We had 2 fabulous meals and all of it was mouth watering. Great chicken, great flavour, particularly liked the thickness of the sauce which made Naan dipping really tasty. Even the poppadoms were light and fresh - I do like a good poppadom!”

“The PEP&CO outlet will have 99% of what your shopping for, also if you don't believe me, the next time you're passing, just call in to see what they've got for sale, in relation to whot your looking for, also if you purchase anything, pls give me & everybody else your shopping experience, with PEP&CO, also it would be appreciated, thanks very much”

“Beautiful fascinator for my outfit! Matt was so helpful and even dyed the fascinator of my choice to the perfect colour.”

“Came here tonight for a hen party. Couldn’t fault a thing. Even though the place was busy, the food all came out at a reasonable time and was delicious. Tried a few different cocktails and all were lovely! Will definitely be back!”

“Really good food and the service was excellent. The host was really friendly and polite. Good value for money. Will definitely be going again.”

“Got a pretty dress that is perfect for summer and for a mum like me. I like their kids clothes too.”

“Amazing food. A great combination of authentic ingredients to make perfect dishes. We had super nice starters, specially the Pate di fegatini di pollo, absolutely delicious. Kind staff and good atmosphere, may be the best Italian in town.”

“4 years ago i first visited this place with the girl i was on a 1st date back then we are now married and still enjoy coming back to this classic local cafe. The staff are amazing and the food is brilliant.”

“Good quality clothes for men women and children. Helpful friendly staff. Cousin got a great jumper with a fox on it”

“We had an afternoon tea here with the kids. All in all it was fantastic- I can’t remember the person who served us, blonde man with glasses as I recall, but he was ace. Nothing was too much trouble and he dealt with any issues or questions we had. Would definitely go again!”

“One of the few stores I buy clothes from. I always say it’s like NEXT, but better quality, cheaper prices and better styled clothes.”

“Shop staff very polite and helpful. Great Customer Service. Clothing very good quality and an extensive range at reasonable prices”

“Next is a well-established British retailer known for offering a wide range of clothing, home goods, and accessories at accessible prices. As a frequent shopper at Next, I’ve had generally positive experiences across both its physical stores and online shopping platform. **Clothing & Style** Next’s clothing selection is one of its biggest strengths. The store caters to various demographics, from men's and women's fashion to children's wear. The clothing is typically stylish and contemporary, with options that appeal to both trend-conscious shoppers and those seeking more classic designs. One of the standout aspects of Next is their attention to quality – their fabrics tend to feel durable, and the cuts are flattering for a variety of body types. **Price & Value for Money** The pricing at Next is fair, especially considering the quality you get. It strikes a nice balance between high street affordability and premium feel. Whether you’re buying casual wear or something a bit more formal, you often feel that you’re getting good value for your money. **Online Shopping Experience** Next’s online store is well-designed and easy to navigate. The filters for size, color, and style are intuitive, making it simple to find exactly what you're looking for. The images and descriptions of products are accurate, which helps avoid disappointment when the items arrive. Delivery times are consistently reliable, and Next's customer service is prompt in addressing any issues with orders or returns. **Home Goods** In addition to clothing, Next has an impressive range of homeware. Their furniture, lighting, and decor items are well-curated and stylish, fitting modern and traditional aesthetics alike. I’ve found their home goods to be reasonably priced, with quality that rivals more expensive retailers. **In-Store Experience** Next’s physical stores are generally well-maintained, clean, and well-organized. The layout allows for easy browsing, and the staff are usually friendly and helpful without being intrusive. However, during peak shopping times, the stores can get crowded, which may result in longer wait times at the fitting rooms or checkout. **Sustainability & Ethics** Next is also making strides in sustainability, with efforts to reduce its environmental footprint by using more responsibly sourced materials and improving transparency in its supply chain. While there’s room for improvement in this area, it’s good to see them moving in the right direction. **Final Thoughts** Overall, Next is a reliable retailer with a wide range of stylish clothing, quality homeware, and a smooth online shopping experience. Whether you're looking for everyday essentials or something more unique, Next consistently delivers with good quality, fair pricing, and a pleasant shopping experience both in-store and online.”

“I bought a shirt and leggings. Great service ..thanks”

“This is one of my favourite mens clothing stores. Stocked with classic wardrobe staples, with old fashioned impeccable service. Independent family run shops like this are crucial to town centres. This should be a first stop for all men looking to add a bit of class and style to their look.”
