Marks Spencer Cafe - Newbury

OK m+s branch, its not that big so the clothes range in stock is quite small. There is a cafe, food section, and women's clothes on the ground floor, mens, and a small amount of kids upstairs and on the ground floor. It is clean, the lift takes you straight to the car park so it's pretty convenient.

The café was quite busy, but we received our main courses in about 15-20 minutes, which was perfectly fine since we were informed that it could take some time. We ordered four main dishes, and the total came to less than £30, including a single drink. All the food was delicious. Though the staff appeared a bit overwhelmed during the rush, they were very helpful when we asked for assistance, promptly cleaning our table and the floor. Everyone was friendly, and the staff was actively engaging with regular customers around us. The meals were well-prepared and tasty. You order using a tablet, and while the line to order can take a bit of time, the wait was organized and pleasant. The menu featured breakfast options, various main courses, salads, coffee, frappes, and even prepared sandwiches and snacks. If you’re looking for a decent and affordable meal in Newbury, this café is a great choice, especially if you visit during off-peak hours.

The staff here are always helpful and polite, and the organization is excellent, especially considering social distancing measures. I never feel stressed while shopping here. They offer great value for money on clothes without compromising on quality. Unfortunately, dining options are a bit limited for my budget; I usually come here just for a special treat.

This is a nice food hall and café, but it really needs to be two or three times larger and offer a much wider selection of clothing, especially children's clothing, which is currently not available. The parking here is free and much more convenient compared to the city center. I often find myself wishing I would visit more frequently if the space was bigger.

Staff very helpful and ordered the item we needed.
