Debenhams

We had lunch in the Debenhams Café today and it was rubbish! Everything is pre prepared in the morning so there’s no chance of flexibility with a sandwich or jacket potato filling, so everything had mayonnaise mixed in with it, which I cannot eat. As I am dairy intolerant I cannot eat cheese either so it was a case of having a plain jacket potato with extra salad, which I had to ask for and when I did ask for the extra salad the girl serving said that she thought the salad that came with the spud would be enough for me! I’m not greedy but 4 leaves of lettuce and one cherry tomato cut in half with a couple of slices of cucumber is hardly a salad! Get it sorted guys, give more flexibility to your concrete menu!

I have to admit that I agree with both Evie1982 and jicaley on this one. Buying menswear in Salisbury has always been a bit strange in Salisbury and Debenhams is no different. The fact that the shortest inside leg they cater for is 31 then I don’t even bother to shop with them. I would class this as more of a market with a clutch of consessions, a raft of perfumery companies and others plying their trades. Couple that with it being overcrowded of stock, expensive for what the clothes are, and too easy to get lost in, I would liken this to a Morroccan souk. Oh and I forgot, to get into the shop you have to battle with hoards of kids sitting on the steps but then that hasn’t changed since it was Style & Gerrish. I used to visit Father Christmas there many years ago.

Not a fantastic selection of male clothing and most of it over priced and not great quality. Best of shopping in Southampton or Baisingstoke for mens clothes.

This store is a nightmare if you have a wheelchair or pushchair, there are little steps EVERYWHERE! There is a lift to help you along but its a pain as every floor has a little step somewhere and you find your in and out of the lift constantly!
The selection of items in store is good, they have a great cosmetics section and handbag and shoes galore! There is a small Topshop at the very back of the store too.
