The 48 best shopping and stores in Cirencester

Fantastic arts centre with a beautiful shop selling high quality crafts. Ceramics in particular were stunning. Busy cafe selling great food. Other artists studios to visit and regular one off and regular craft workshops. I was a bit disappointed in the nearby accommodation- more of a basic youth hostel with bunk beds and communal kitchen. Parking unsatisfactory

What a wonderful place the lucky people of Cirencester and visitors have here. Our first time visit here, and in the main gallery you find an impressive collection of artisan pottery, jewelry and more. Resident artists, another gallery plus a great upstairs cafe should make this a must visit . As a former hobby potter I was particularly interested in the large range of the studio pottery on display. The quality of designs, glazing techniques and inventiveness is superb. And yes, these wonderful items are for sale too, at reasonable and fair prices. Tactile objects to use, to display, cherish and even to gift or pass on. It's humbling to think of the many many hours, the passion, love and dedication needed to develop these skills. These artisans work in their studios all over the country, and here they have a wonderful space and friendly knowledgeable staff to showcase their work. As far as I know this space and building is a charity going back to the 1970's. The founders must be proud that their vision is continuing to thrive in this beautiful market town. And we will be back again as well.

For the past three days my grandchildren and I have enjoyed an inspirational series of crafts workshops. These were brilliantly designed as stand-alone sessions but also formed part of a wonderful story linked to Orpheus and his magical lute. Thank you so much to the brilliant Alice and Karen for organising these and to Brewery Arts for having the wisdom and insight to fund them.

This is wonderful place to browse and buy handmade arts and crafts. It's a lovely space with displays, artists in residence and a nice cafe. The staff are friendly and helpful. Best place we have visited in the Cotswolds for some beautiful items made by local artists. A great advert for local is best!!!!

Beautiful, light filled building with a great shop with cards and handmade crafts and gifts. Lovely café food upstairs. Gallery with varied exhibitors. Makets on site. Brewery Carpark very close by.

New Brewery Arts is a real gem. Fantastic workshops and courses for adults and children; a shop and artist studios with high quality beautiful handmade gifts for all budgets, including ceramics, paintings, textiles and jewellery and some of the best cards and wrapping paper in town. The on site cafe serves lovely cakes and light lunches. 1 minute walk from Brewery Court carpark. Don't miss it.

Fabulous space, fabulous artists but the pieces I liked were out of my price range.

Excellent exhibits with great educational elements! The whole family enjoyed it. The people were very informative as well.

I told one of the staff that the mannequins looked too real and were a bit scary, and then she kindly showed me around the exhibition and told me some stories. All the staff were so nice and helpful, and I learned a lot about the history of Cirencester. It’s one of my loveliest memories in Cirencester. Thank you very much!

Made the mistake of "bigging" the Corinium up in my mind before entering. Big mistake. It could never live up to what my (former) drug addled brain could imagine and when you've taken as many hallucinogens as I have in the past I was expecting to be mugged by an iron age thug or Roman centurian around every corner. It's a museum and is full of museumy things from the past. Daft thing to write as I've yet to visit a museum which looks to the future. Thought it was a tad pricey even though I got the crinkley discount. The staff were nice in the extreme. They put up with the mouthy northern one (me) without banning me from returning at some point. I hope they've forgiven me for leaving my 'up the boro' message before I departed.

An excellent museum with some quite beautiful mosaics and engaging history of Cirencester over the millennia. Let down by some sloppy attention to detail with their timeline boards. Guy Fawkes' assassination attempt was a year later and Edward VII was crowned a whole 3 years before.

This is a super museum, primarily for the Roman period but others as well. I spent 2 hours there and didn't properly see it all. Very helpful staff too. Well worth the visit.

Interesting museum primarily about their authentic Roman collection. Not a large museum, I would say that 1 hour will be enough to walk around. There is a free art gallery next door. Adult tickets were £7.90. We visited during a weekday so it was relatively quiet. We parked at the nearby Old Station car park and it was only a few minutes walk.

Very impressed with this museum which unfortunately- I just did not have the time to "do" it properly. It is an educational centre as well & good ol' me actually does like it this way - where origin, history & heritage is clearly labelled & tells a continuous story of this area to the relatively modern era. The Roman mosaics, burials, sound & light projections & the recreated neolithic/stone age dwelling etc added to an immersive experience. Sadly I just had to whizz through it all in an hour before closing time. Do give it the time this museum deserves. I visited on Thurs, late Sept 24. Very quiet & thankful the school kids were not around! 😉😁

Such a lovely part of Cirencester, some lovley trees, a play park for the children. A lake with benches nearby, a duck feeder, such a nice idea. The park is also home to the free Phoenix Festival.

Beautiful small park with a flat, circular walk. Interesting 'ice house' archaeological feature. Wildlife aplenty to spot. Love it and visit frequently. Toilets are newly updated and much nicer to use. Right by town centre too, so easy to grab lunch.

Came across park as I’d sheltered in church from the rain. I was pleasantly surprised at the green oasis right in the middle of Cirencester. Dogs are allowed to run off lead on the grassed area and there are numerous seats facing the lake to rest.

Beautiful place and very peaceful. Full of history

This is a beautiful place with a picturesque view from all angles. A lake full of water birds lots of grass, benches places to sit and soak up the views. Flowers poppies wild flowers trees and most importantly a clean tidy park to enjoy. The Abbey Grounds Park is my favourite kind of place with lots to see and loads of space to walk and sit with a picnic or walk the dog. Plus a great outdoor learning play area for youngsters. 👍

An enormous green space with some flowerbeds and many trees. Dogs north of the water must be on a lead, but south of it, apparently not. Signs are many, officious and threatening and occasionally conflicting. Popular place in warm weather, there's also a kids playground at the north end.

Such a beautiful park, lots of open space, a lake with ducks/swans and a woodland area. When visiting Cirencester (Oct ‘23) this park was a beautiful place to walk with the dogs in the early evening! Historical Roman Town wall and Roman Abbey remains to view too!!

Lovely accommodation. Pristine, good quality and well thought out. Lots of extras to make stay comfortable. Friendly owner and staff who was welcoming and informative about local area. Delicious breakfast.

Kathleen the host was very welcoming. The location is right near everything. 10 minute walk from the lovely town centre. The property is very clean and the decor is lovely. The rooms are spacious and everything you need. Plus love the personal touches. The property serves a continental breakfast which has a lot of choice. Tanya who served us is lovely. Definitely recommend and would stay here again

The best bed and breakfast we have stayed at. Spacious, very well appointed room, great breakfast and fabulous host Kathleen, all in a great location. We highly recommend Cotswold Hare. Steph and John

Lovely large room with very large comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean. Lovely continental breakfast. Parking too which is a big bonus in Cirencester. Great location just 10 mins walk to town centre.

A group of 5 of us made a return visit to The Hare. It was as good as we remembered. Kathleen is an excellent host - friendly, welcoming, thoughtful and ready to help. The roms are well appointed, very comfortable and spotlessly clean! Thank you to Kathleen and her team for all their hard work. We will return again!

Kathleen was a great host - friendly and related well with her guests. She offered recommendations for places in Cotswold to visit and restaurants in Cirencester. The whole accommodation was clean with a relaxed and calm atmosphere. The room we stayed in was cosy with a very comfortable bed and pillows and pretty bed linen. Tea and coffee making were available in the room with a lovely treat of a packet of biscuits. Car parking available on site was a bonus for us. This accommodation is highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely stay, so comfortable and all that we could need in our room. Beds were lovely and most importantly for me : comfy pillows! And breakfast was all gluten free especially for me! Thank you to our wonderful host! Was fantastic ❤️ no🙏

Lovely comfortable room and bed. Nice toiletries in the bathroom. For £150 p/n we looked forward to breakfast but unfortunately missed it as the window was only an hour 8-9. As we were on holiday we had a lie in. I’d have expected more flexible breakfast times but everything else was good.

We had a wonderful experience on our holiday here. Perfect location, impeccable service, very clean, great breakfast. The courtyard/garden area was beautiful, lovely to spend some time there. Parking was a bit tight, but we were thankful there was parking on site. The only issues, and minor they were - no flannels in the bathroom, and Wi-Fi and TV reception were sketchy. We felt it was great value for the money, highly recommend, and would stay here again.

What a lucky find! Charming courtyard garden entrance. Spotless room with comfy bed & good linens. Modern bathroom with good lighting & toiletries. Superb choice of breakfast with quality ingredients & friendly service. Just a short walk to town centre.

Loved my 3 night stay. I travelled solo and was placed in Room 4. It was a double bed with en-suite bathroom which was perfect for my needs. Location is great since you aren’t very far from much and the walks are easy with a bus stop down the street. Breakfast is as wonderful as everyone says and you get plenty of food! Staff is so kind and they take great care of the BnB. Some things to note- rooms at the top have low beams and walls and space overall may be a bit of a squeeze. Might be a little uncomfortable to someone who is tall. Building is also on a street corner so it may have some noise, but nothing that earplugs and closing a window couldn’t fix. Besides those notes, I still highly recommend!

The location is good, the breakfast food was very good, even if the service was a bit muddled at times. We had a courtyard room which was very small (the pictures make it look bigger than it is) but the bathroom and shower are large enough. Despite being only 10°C outside, the heating wasn't working.

I spent the night with my 2 friends in the 3 bedded room last Wednesday, what a lovely experience. This place is like a home from home, spotlessly clean and so welcoming. Despite the atrocious weather, we had the best time. Thank you Rosemary and team for a lovely overnight stay. Loved the breakfast too.

A charming place in a great position near the town centre. Breakfast is excellent and home decor exquisite!

Great little store with fun gifts, accessories and children's items. A bit pricey, still a fantastic selection of things you won't find elsewhere.

Lots of 'special' details you won't find anywhere else. From the cute to the aromatic 😍

A consistently wonderful store with a superb selection of prints, stationery and gifts. Really friendly staff and really well curated. I would say it’s one of if not the best places for gifts in town

Cutest little shop In Cirencester, perfect place for birthday gifts!

Nice variety of homewares and gifts. Bright and airy, great place to shop.

My favourite shop

(Translated by Google) There are many cute things that women like. I bought a small bird object for my Christmas tree. The staff at the store were very friendly and the fashion was unique and stylish. (Original) 女性が好むような、とても可愛いものが沢山です。クリスマスツリー用に小鳥のオブジェを買いました。 お店の方はとてもフレンドリーでファッションも個性的でオシャレでした。

We were met with a friendly smile and a welcoming 'Hello'. The mission was to have a relax couple of days and it was fully accomplished. Not only we enjoyed breakfast were the poached eggs were cooked to perfection, but we also had the pleasure to have dinner twice at this gem. It is clear the chef knows how to create delicious combinations, from starters to puddings. We tried a starter, three mains, and four different puddings in total. All our empty plates were a testament to the high quality food. All in all, delicious food friendly staff and relax atmosphere.

What an amazing restaurant. The food was outstanding, the wine list was extensive and most importantly, the customer service was the best we've ever had. Ben the manager was exceptional, he made us feel like royalty the entire time we were there. All of the staff were superb. If you go to Cirencester, visit this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

Went here 2 nights in a row. Service was fantastic and food was great! Simple menu that you could easily order everything on the menu. Brought our 10 month old and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Highly recommended

This restaurant looks great from the outside. Great big open kitchen and the menu has plenty of interesting classic dishes. The food itself is fairly average and we thought that some dishes like the various tapas style dishes we tried didn't taste great and were dissapointing. We also didn't like the sea food casserole which the waiter said was one of the most popular dishes, it was a seafood soup with overcooked fish and just didn't taste great. We loved the special of grilled hake, it was really good although a bit pricey. The service was lovely, and the team made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Hopefully next time the actual food will be better.

Highly Recommended. Michelin rated restaurant (good prices), that has amazing food, cooked - prepared in front of you, appetizers are delicious, main course meals are very delicious and the dessert strongly recommended. We ate here today and we are glad we came here. Customer service is amazing, the place is very clean and the food is awesome, as mentioned before. Ambience is perfect, waiting staff is brilliant. I ordered the oysters, served with lemon, Tabasco hot sauce and a serving bowl of chopped up pickled onion and peppercorn; it was delicious. My main course meal was the ribeye steak (medium well) with a cheese sauce and my side order was broccoli with melted cheese; the steak was perfect - mouth watering - very delicious and the broccoli was really good. My colleagues also purchased the freshly baked goods and they were delicious. If your ever in this beautiful town, you have to come and eat here; you will thank me later.

We stopped for a quick lunch at Made by Bob. I had the mussels and fries. It was very moorish and the mussels were well presented. My better half had the pate. We had a side order of their homemade bread - also excellent. It's a great place with good service.

Had a lovely meal here for my wife's birthday. Keira, our waitress was a real gem and an asset to the business. Food was delicious and staff super friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to come here again when I'm back in the area

See this lovely cafe on Google. And the reviews are real. Friendly staff and nice food! Make sure you stop by this wonderful place when visiting Cirencester.

Tucked slightly out of the way from the high street is this lovely little spot. I took my mum here for a birthday lunch after she was drawn to the Ploughman's on the menu! We sat outside in the sun at an appropriately mosiac patterned table and despite the clear popularity of the place, were served quickly by two very friendly waitresses. Drinks were great, especially my hot chocolate and the food itself was reasonably priced given the location and had more than adequate portion sizes. There was also a selection of fresh cakes and pastries but we did not indulge in these so I can't comment - though they did look good! The *only* thing was that some square, brown tables were deceptively placed nearby which lulled both ourselves and a myriad of others into thinking they were part of the cafe. They weren't as explained by the waitresses each time so signage would definitely be of benefit to prevent this. Overall however, my mum was extremely happy with her meal, as was I and I would definitely recommend this place as a peaceful, pleasent place to sit and enjoy some lunch. Would more than happily return

Stopped off here during a family holiday and I highly recommend every single cake they have! 😂 Seriously though the staff are all absolutely wonderful and the food is phenomenally delicious!!

Second time here after nearly 4 years, I can’t complain much! Everything was perfect! Definitely the best cafe in Cirencester.

Just off the high street next to a sheep statue lies Cafe Mosaic. We found a seat inside but they have quite a plentiful area outside to dine Alfresco. Service was very bubbly and all the staff wore smiles. The food was lovely, 2 of us has a sausage roll with a very colourful salad and our partners had a mushroom quiche and a stilton and walnut quiche. All filled the spot and we left happy. It was a really nice place for a light lunch with friends. Will definitely be going again the next time we are in Cirencester.

Lovely brunch, chosen from a varied menu selection. Great quality food, friendly service in pleasant surroundings with an ‘arty’ vibe. Everything was very clean, including the (ladies’) loos. Highly recommended!

A really lovely coffee shop. Lots of space, inside and out, and a fantastic selection of food. We only popped in for a drink and cake, but there were light meal options available. Friendly table service. Would definitely recommend.

Worth visiting for some fine architectural and other features. A large and impersonal building lacking atmosphere. Large number of unused pews in the main building while a service was on, attended by four people, in a side room. Not a church that is welcoming . But as an historical relic worth a look

I am aware of how many houses of the holy I'm getting through looking for the smiting one. Let's be clear, they're all magnificent structures. They're all remarkably well built, the craftsmanship is second to none and this example is fairly typical of how good they all are. My mind is blown on a regular basis and will continue to be blown as long as I remain untouched by lightning 🌩 bolt.

I’m not a Christian, but I love visiting churches when I travel, because I can feel the history, culture, and life in them. St. John the Baptist Church in Cirencester is a symbol of the town. I was captivated by its delicate architecture. I recently saw the musical “SIX” and became interested in the six queens, so when I found that there was a “Boleyn Cup” here, I was so excited!

The Church is beautiful, lovely service and I was made to feel very welcome ❤️ there is a fantastic selection of things to buy in the shop and the staff are very helpful. I will never forget my time here and I will definitely be back in the near future. God Bless you all 🙏🏻🕊️

Fantastic town excellent Baptist Church not religious but love buildings this is definitely one to go look around

Free entry to cathedral in the city centre. Beautiful working church and there's an interesting Lego model of it inside. Worth a stop.

Free to visit but they do ask for donations. Little shop inside, very pretty well worth a visit.

Main Centre Lovely looking place, spacious, variety, good music overhead. Café: Pros - Good food - Good value for money - Nice decor Cons - Could not swap an egg out to add a hash brown in my breakfast - not a big ask and the first no I've come across. - Had to ask for the drinks as the food turned up and they hadn't - I ordered the vegetarian breakfast but found bacon in my beans, when I told the staff member, she did apologise but didn't seem all to bothered and when she came back for us to pay, nothing else was said or a goodwill gesture offered. The rest of the meal had been fine, but just found this lack of enthusiasm and action disappointing.

Called in for a quick lunch at the garden centre. Slightly strange ‘wait to be seated’ and table service scenario which is over formal and slow. Unfortunately after waiting a while for ham hock and cheese toasties, we didn’t eat anything as the toasties were lukewarm and the mozzarella cheese not melted. Didn’t have time to order anything else. Garden centre looked quite nice though.

Not as expensive as some garden centres and a great selection. But... Food is a little overpriced (tea cakes £1 for melted mush) but lots of choice. A little worried about the amount of flies crawling over the open sandwiches, the lady did throw one of the sandwiches away after I pointed it out, then went to get a fan to keep the flies off...... Little late for the ones that have done their business all over the other open food! Friendly staff and a great selection of aquarium equipment and fish. Couldn't find much on the solar lighting/ solar ornaments. Probably not a fan of the food hygiene but as a garden centre. Not bad at all.

Visited today (Sunday), we wanted to get a nice rose. Lots of dead plants, nobody to ask for help. We thought we would have a lovely coffee and cake, the whole cafe was dirty. The staff were rude, now we understand why there were not many people visiting. We can quite understand why dobbies are closing.

Stopped in to get patio flowers and soil. That was very good and great choice. But I also popped in to get a cuppa and cake. This is why it only got 2 stars. Very slow on counter service, very busy with only 2 ladies serving us. nearly all cakes etc gone and it was only 2:30pm. I got a cuppa and chocolate cake, as not a lot of choices left. Never again. The cuppa was great but the cake was dry, stale and just not nice. Couldn't eat it. Dobbies needs a rethink on FRESH cakes. Nothing about that chocolate cake was fresh Just disgusting. Very disappointed Not b stopping for a cuppa and cake again

Took my mum here for lunch for her birthday. Unfortunately quite disappointed, the salad on the plates was brown and looked pretty old. The coleslaw was the same, looking slimy, not fresh. The burgers came out overcooked and cold. The cakes were the only positive thing I can say were nice. Real shame.

Visit today 22 Nov 2023. We'll normally I give a reasonable and fare marking but this is unbelievable. Wasing up everywhere a bacteria hazard waiting to happen .plates to the left of me plates to the right.one old man unable to keep up. The table doesn't get cleaned. Just can't belive what I'm seeing . Half hour wait for two coffees Had a coffee with my daughter as a member of dobbies they were both free two per month you know. So I bought a cake each. We sat and chatted with no rush. On leaving I picked up a lovely plant Bird of paradise. Normally you don't see them for less than £100 but this was half that. Wonderful two hours with my daughter. April 1st visited dobbies and enjoyed two meals at reasonable cost and as a club card holder had two large coffees for free to go with the meal. We'll cooked fish and chips crispy excellent service. Forgot to add with the club card you get 10% off plant purchases July visit, had English breakfast in the restaurant. Was given the menu which gave a choice of various items to eat My wife and I had the full English without black pudding. We were not offered an alternative. Picture of which is shown. Cost £14 per person. Tasted freshly cooked and oil was clean not quite like the picture shown in the menu. Came with no cutlery or butter for the toast.

Really fabulous quirky place, loved the vegan menu, excellent food and dog friendly. Loved it.

We came here for dinner and had a mixed experience. The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming, and the service was excellent, the staff were friendly and quick to resolve any issues. While the food wasn’t quite to our taste on this occasion, the overall atmosphere and service made for a pleasant evening. With a few tweaks to the menu, it could be a really lovely place to dine.

I have been here several times with my sister and our kids and the food is always great. On the most recent visit I had the buddha bowl which was absolutely delicious. The staff are always friendly and attentive too. It's great to have this place in Cirencester.

Order and wait for an hour. Literally waited for a long long time (almost an hour) we arrived and order at around 7. And received the food at around 8. The food was delicious though. Really hot and good. May be they prepared it from the scratch after we ordered. The service can be better. It has to be. There were 2 staffs serving an almost full restaurant which had a min of 15 tables full or even more. Good for vegans and vegetarians. The staff forgot one item in the order but offered a refund. If not for the service it can get a 4star and if not for the quantity it can get a 5 star. Overall food was good. Service needs to be improved Toilets are ok. Price not too expensive but the quantity was slightly less for that price. Ambience was excellent.

Good atmosphere, good value for money, vegan friendly and also caters for non-veggie/vegan diet. Came here almost every dinner last week during Easter weekend. Very good service and friendly staff. We have first tried their sister branch in Lewes. So delighted to find them in Cirencester too.

Brillaint breakfast. Arrived hot and relatively quickly but you could tell it was all freshly done too. Fantastic hash browns 🤤👌

Great Vegan food! Lovely service and great decor!

Probably the only place I could have hot food on Christmas day in Cirencester. All food was nice, a standard Pizza Express quality, good choice of desserts. The place was half empty, but I was still asked for a booking so was denied to be seated. I left, and immediately booked a table in 30 mins and was seated then. That was a bit strange.

we shared a delightful experience here! a server saw to us very quickly & all the waiters are really polite. the food is a bit expensive i notice but it does taste delicious😋 lovely ambience too, with lots of nice seating. thank you xx

Food was tasty. Service was good. It was a great place to eat late on a Sunday when many other places were closed.

Amazing service and as always delicious pizza

Took my daughter and her friends for her birthday 🎈. Us being old we had to sit apart from them! The staff have been so kind to them (and the oldies) and couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Food tasty, service quick

The place and staff were very nice and to point out it is a baby friendly place, they offer my baby a coloring book to play with. Food was really fresh and delicious, but the only issue is they are late at serving the food.

Edit: Their response says it all, really. Am I going to write an email to an anonymous customer service address, only to receive another standard reply? No. I just won’t go back to Pizza Express Staff not interested. Prefer to spend their time chatting amongst themselves (in earshot). Customers are an inconvenience. Pizza certainly not Express, waited a very long time despite only a few other customers at tables. Chairs had food on them and when I asked if they could be wiped before we sat down, waitress mumbled something along the lines of ‘well this is a restaurant’ as if we should expect to sit on the last people’s dinner. Disappointing to give good money to a business that simply doesn't care, will steer clear in future.

Great coffee break. Visited Sunday afternoon. Place relaxed when we walked in with plenty of space Very nice vibe and decore. Coffee was real good and the service was efficient.

This is a disgustingly unhygienic 🤮 place with the worst customer service in Cirencester. Dirty and uncleared tables, the staff (older gal named Sophie) makes judgements on the customers and sarcastically laughs in your face. If that’s not enough to turn you off, the lavatory is disgustingly dirty with water on the floor and urine and dried excrement on the loo seat. I asked if they had cream tea, and she disrespectfully laughed and said that I have to go to Cornwall for that! I’ve had cream tea in London, Oxford, Tetbury, and Cirencester! Then I asked if I could have milk for my tea, and again she (Sophie) laughed and sarcastically said “ohh wow how unusual..”. This was unequivocally my worst experience in Cirencester. If anyone is looking for a place to have a coffee or afternoon tea, please go somewhere else where the staff actually care.

Coffee1 was always where I went if I wanted a decent coffee ☕️ at a reasonable price. Sadly this wasn't the case today 😕 the flat White was awful! It was very bitter needles to say I didn't drink it all. A few sips was enough. The only good thing about the coffee was that it was hot 🔥 this will be my last visit to Coffee1. On a positive note the staff were welcoming and the speed of service was quick

Had a breakfast stop here on a long journey. The menu choices were great with something for everyone, cakes looked amazing! There was wide drinks choice with some different things including a beetroot latie. Cafe was really clean and had a lovely feel about it. When the food came it was hot, fresh and well prepared.

What a great little find. This place is separate and apart from the main brand coffee shops such as Costa and Nero etc. but sells lovely coffee products and serves tasty hot and cold food. The environment I'd comfortable and the staff are welcoming, so whether your tourism exploring or simply shopping pop in for a brew you won't be disappointed.

The Americano was OK. The reason for downvoting was I have issues with the wifi every single time I come here. I needed wifi for work, logged in and I went round in circles for the next 15 minutes. I gave up and left the coffee.

Went in to get an iced coffee for takeaway. No warm welcome, when I went to pay didn’t ask if I had the app put the card machine on and walk straight off even though I wanted to pay cash. Not a good experience.

Always good for high quality food shopping. Great cafe but wish they had a few healthier and gluten free things on the menu. And please bring back the veggie breakfast with halloumi it was soo good

Never been spoken to so rudely and aggressively by a member of staff yes I moved a trolley that was restocking but the lady was very aggressive rather than move the trolley so we could purchase the goods we were looking for. Don’t think I would go there again. Felt my family were in the way and with kids. Sorry Waitrose let yourself down here won’t recommend you ever.

Visited the store whilst on holiday in the area. My partner and our dog seat on the benches by the cafe whilst i popped in to pick up some bit. A week later have received a parking charge claiming not to have used the store...very very poor. I now have to appeal and provide a copy of the transaction(which i have) Really poor vetting of your parking solution

Just popped in for one item. Older gentleman who served me with a cooked chicken was so friendly and helpful, and the young man on the till was also lovely. Put a smile on my face 😃

Car park looked very pretty, shop was packed, very crowded. Member of staff not exactly sure where products were when asked, perhaps he was new. EV charging here. Update 3 years later. This time, I found a wonderful member of staff who went above and beyond to help.

Great place to shop. Quiet and relaxed with so many choices it's hard what to decide what you want!!

Love it you can get a free coffee and very very and approachable and knowledgeable staff are there to help.

Simple chocolate themed cafe in Black Jack Street, Cirencester which is the cafe capital of the town. Now I'm not a big chocolate fan, well not chocolate bars anyway, but as we'd got a voucher from over two years ago we decided to visit and have a hot chocolate or milkshake plus a chocolate brownie. We both decided, as it was a warm summer's day to have milkshakes, I had a strawberry 🍓 shake whilst Mrs G opted for raspberry, which are made with Marshfields ice cream. Very nice. We then had the brownie accompanied by a ball each of Marshfields vanilla. So not being a particular brownie or chocolate van I was pleasantly surprised, the brownie was excellent. Drizzle Chocolate is a nice little cafe to sit and watch the world go by for half an hour or more, to enjoy a milkshake and the excellent chocolate brownie 😋

Gorgeous cake chocolate and lemon drizzle cake. Very friendly staff. Strawberry milkshake was nice but could've done with a bit more strawberry flavour - maybe a strawberry or two thrown onto the mix. Nice place to sit and watch the world go by.

Small chocolate shop, we stopped in for hot chocolate. It was delicious, nice quick service. Also very pleasant. Melted chocolate and warm milk equals some the best hot chocolate. If your close by, I would say try this.

Fantastic chocolatier, perfect for chocolate gifts (or treats for yourself!). Also great for a sit down coffee, hot chocolate or ice cream. Staff are lovely and polite. I dropped in recently for a gift and the assistant was so helpful and wrapped my items beautifully. Definitely one of my favourite shops in Ciren!

Popped in here to buy an Easter Egg when passing and what a find! The service was outstanding, really friendly lady who couldnt have done enough to help and the dark chocolate egg with chocolates inside was the nicest we've ever had. Would definitely recommend and we will be back to try more!

I was in Cirencester and bought a Marshfield ice cream from Drizzle Chocolate that was delicious. Unfortunately, the ice cream fell from my cornet as I sat down at a table in the alley way outside of the shop. Clumsy me! But the reaction from the staff was exceptional. The young lady that had served me had noticed my plight and came out of the shop insisting on replacing my ice cream free of charge. I doubt that any other shop's staff would have noticed let alone acted in such a supportive way. To those involved, I express my sincere thanks.

We stopped in to buy an icecream on Saturday 14 September and were ignored by staff because the younger lady was teaching the older lady staff member how to make coffee. We asked twice if the shop was open, and were told yes, but "I'm teaching her to make coffee". The coffee lesson then proceeded, but not before the staff exchanged a meaningful look when we disturbed them. We didn't disturb them any longer, and went to a much busier and more polite shop which sold us lovely icecream in a jiffy. The chocolatier was empty, by the way, in a busy shopping street.

The food here tastes as good as it looks. Very yummy and well priced pastries and bread sold from this bakery. Shop is a takeaway and located in the popular strip of circenster. We had a yummy sandwich with focaccia bread and brought some pasta del nada, canele and sausage rolls to enjoy at home.

Great bakery. Staff were helpful. Best to go early to get the items freshly baked.

Absolutely delicious! We always stop here whenever we’re nearby. The pastries are fresh, beautifully done and incredibly tasty. Also, the coffee is great! One of the best, friendly bakeries we’ve been too. Lovely team. I’d highly recommend!

We visited Knead in Cirencester close to the end of the day, and the manager was so friendly, helpful, and kind. The pastries were absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed their hot cross buns at home over the next two days; they didn’t last long! We are only here for a short time when we visit our son and his family, but going to visit Knead every time we come!

Just happened to walk past and see the pastries in the window. Had a cookie, maple and pecan roll and a pistachio roll. All of them absolutely delicious. Will definitely return if I'm ever in Cirencester again

My Girlfriend and I were walking past and spotted how amazing all the pastries were in the window… we had to try them. We got a sausage roll, harissa and tomato bake, goats cheese and pesto bake and finished it off with the most explosive chocolate brownie doughnut to exist. All of the food was incredible and our server who helped recommend everything was amazing. We didn’t get her name but look forward to Knead opening in Oxford.

Amazing sausage rolls, delicious Bakewell tarts, sticky fudge brownies, and strong coffee! The perfect bakery in Ciren. There are a few stools and tables to enjoy your baked treats.

Zero star is not available to give a proper feedback. Portion size upgrade is a big scam, especially fries. I was curious what is the difference for extra money. Not a lot. The drink and the popcorn chicken were slightly bigger. The fries are not impressive. They put the fries in different packing. However the difference was neglectable. Maybe 2pcs more fries in large vs regular. I seriously suggest that just pay for regular because extra money doesn't worth the upgrade.

Clean inside. Great choice of food, not a great selection if you don't eat meat, but it is a chicken restaurant! Having said that, it wouldn't matter to me if they had a huge selection as I would always go for their vegan burger... It's the best I've had, just amazing, my only complaint is there could be more options with it, like make it a tower burger/box meal, add another burger etc. Food arrived piping hot which is just how I like it 😁

I have not been to a KFC for a while, today the KFC at Cirencester reminded me why. They now use a special breed of dwarf chickens here. Plus, the potato famine has affected the size of the chip portions. Lots of money, for small measly portions. Be a while before I go again.

Got almost every part of the food order wrong, asked for a 3-piece, received a 2-piece, the server didn't understand that sides aren't included with an original recipe chicken meal and specially asked for ketchup instead of supercharger sauce on the burger, twice, but got home to find the hot sauce was used. I was asked for an order number although I was never given one. The food was good, shame about the service. Do not rely on them getting it right

Good food, hot and fresh. The tables weren’t the best, left dirty and uncleared. Undesirable people were congregating inside and outside. Order was marked as ready for collection but a further 5 minutes passed regardless.

Ordered through uber eats. Food came after nearly 2 hours and was wrong when it came. Food was awful. Chips soggy, no drinks and luke warm chicken. We are staying on the lower mill estate I would avoid ordering from this location. I appreciate the delivery delay was due to uber eats but It came direct and kfc sent it out in that state. Nevermind forgetting the drinks…

Fair price and good food. Very quick service. Eating two paying 14£

Really good books grat help from staff to find what u need as well

A real joy to hear the wonderful interaction, this Sunday 21 September 2025, between customers and a female Sales Assistant at Waterstones Cirencester. Both American tourists and a local to Cirencester were involved in the exchanges.The Assistant could not have been more helpful and professional with them. Some parts of ‘The British High Street’ are sadly missing this positive attitude these days.

A big thank you to the assistant at Waterstones who helped me cross off another couple of books from my list. The assistant went above and beyond to help me. Thank you. The shop had a large choice of books in many different categories. Well worth a visit 😊

Got the best book buying advice ive ever had in this Waterstones!

Really great customer service, the lady spent some time helping me with some new sci fi recommendations. Best assistance I have received in a Waterstones. Many thanks!

Our local bookshop for latest releases. Good selection of books and always helpful staff. Cafe is high quality and good value. We dont buy online because the experience of the shop is really worth the effort.

Brilliant Waterstones. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's surprisingly big inside with a massive selection of books. At the back of the store there is also a wonderful coffee shop. If you love books and coffee then this store is a must!

Had fab sausage and bacon sandwiches for breakfast. Good value. Lovely staff.

A nice sized cafè to sit in, a great design and look to it. The staff were friendly with a quick service. Will be revisiting here again

Good twists on expected menu. Good place to grab a take away drink or sit-in for a snack. Great unique food and amazing alternative to other larger café brands.

I’ve been eating/drinking in this cafe for over a year! It used to be buzzing, great atmosphere and service. Just lately it’s gone really down hill. Service disorganised and slow, tables all needed clearing last time I was in and place looked dirty with a Tesco shopping cart in the cafe. We waited over 15 mins for drinks (only 4 other people in cafe), our cakes never arrived - we had to ask for them. Another customers food went out looking shocking!! It’s always been a really buzzing and friendly place but is really lacking in every area now! Such a shame!!! The poor guy serving was trying to train other staff and was really doing his best but obviously needed more experienced help.

Always had a really positive experience here, regardless of who was on shift that day. My partner and I here come here a lot as we are both students and Triple2 offer student discounts. They're also dog friendly and we've been offered a puppichino , which was really sweet and welcoming from the staff. Cirencester has a lot of coffee shops but this is really great. The coffee itself is also my favourite

A fab coffee shop with great quality food and coffee, and friendly staff. The caramel frappés are the best and their toasties are delicious, as are their cakes - I had the carrot cake, so good! I took my little one last week and she said their rocky road was yummy! Will definitely be a frequent stop for me.

Seems to have taken a nosedive in terms of service and quality. This used to be a great place to come and relax but not anymore.I understand it's been bought out ( franchise).My latest and last experience...The coffee was awful. Lots of young male staff just hanging around behind the service area, stale cakes. Won't be going back again.

*the best* Fancy a coffee, or grabbing some beans .....you will struggle to find better in the area. Roasted on site, viewed through glass from the cafe so you can see the magic happens. Fresh beans, many varieties available on site. As beans or grounds, depends on your needs. The coffee served is superb 10/10 would definitely recommend. Car parking on site, dog friendly, inside and outdoor seating available

Tried the subscription, so massively underwhelmed. It's been a good few years but it may be time to move on. I've received 4 bags of a medium roast Ethiopian coffee to get through as part of the discovery subscription. Supposedly medium roast but the beans are 50 shades of brown and not sure how this got shipped out.

Absolutely bloody brilliant. It's so refreshing to buy from a business that is big but keeps the small business feel and personal touch. Love the detail including your family names on the bottom of the packaging. And the coffee so far tastes amazing and is perfect, took me only one go to get the perfect shot on my Sage. Thank you and we will be subscribing going forward 💕

We have spent the last 6 months with a Rave coffee subscription. Each month they send 2 different coffees to try. Each have been amazing so we decided to drive 2 hours to check put their cafe. Service was fab. There was a selection of cakes and ciabatta rolls, the latter served with salad and we picked up some of our favourite coffee which they ground for us. Would recommend a visit and subscription.

Had our first order delivered today and we are both very impressed! Just what I’m looking for in a cup of coffee- delicious flavour, a caffeine hit, great aroma and very smooth. Looking forward to trying our next ones! ☕️

RAVE Coffee offers one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had. They are professional, quick to respond, and genuinely care about their customers. My order was prepared fresh, packed perfectly, and shipped the same day. The attention to detail and the quality of their service made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Their coffee speaks for itself — premium quality and handled with real passion. Thank you, RAVE Coffee. You have earned a loyal customer.

Fantastic local coffee roasters with a large selection of drinks on the menu and a good selection of fresh coffee beans. Its also a great place to watch the coffee bean process from raw material to the final product through the windows of the coffee shop.

All of the baskets are filthy. I don't think they've been cleaned since the store opened. Date control on stock isn't great either - quite often find rotten fruit/veg.

Very clean, It’d be great if they had self checkout

Local shopper and recently it's really gone down hill fast! . Lots of products well out of date, had to take milk back twice. Luckily Im in walking distance. I'm all for diversity but looks like staff members are dressed for Halloween. Green and blue hair, face decorations, staff flirting whilst getting served. Half the staff are decent and the other are just children. No organisation, constant long lines. Place really needs to get it's act together.

Lidl plus card server not working so vouchers not working. Just put a sign up, at the entrance to the shop, rather than having people argue at the checkout? ‘It’s been like it all day’ isn’t an excuse when some old lady has bought lots of bread on offer but can’t get the deal etc a sign might help shoppers and staff.

Although everything you need is in store, the setup and presentation is very bad I find the staff unfriendly, and they are always having social chats with their colleagues over their headsets, which seems to take priority over the customers. Not all stores are the same.

Staff chatting to each other whilst customers are trying to be served was interesting. Also the gentleman staff member that believes bullying is character building was a concern.

nice place, ample of parking, usual lidl place

Restricted room at self service checkout resulted in Curry sauce glass falling off packing shelf and smashing. Had to stand with trolley covering the glass for 5 mins to stop people walking on it whilst someone came to help, then no attempt to offer replacement, which would have been nice customer service

Was busting for the bog so I pulled up and had a poo within close proximity of the self checkouts and treated myself to a bag of Haribo

Great shop! Always a surprise to be found ealking around. Always clean store and friendly staff!

Who doesn't love an Aldi. Especially the middle aisle. They always sell good quality products and different things to other supermarkets.

Lovely new store Good stock of food plenty of parking.

The staff here are really lovely! Always so friendly and professional. At Christmas, I had to speak to the manager about a problem I'd encountered - she made time for me straight away, despite how busy the shop was, and she could not have been more helpful and polite. (Oh, and I've got to add - this store has the cleanest toilet facilities you can imagine!)

Bought our Christmas food as celebrating Christmas tonight with family as traveling back to France and won't see them until next year!

My Husband and I often pop into this store as we love the personal experience we have always enjoyed however this Saturday 2nd November we had the opposite experience. We approached a till holding towels & a large duvet and requested advice about the duvet eg synthetic filling or duck down only to be told by the cashier that she had no idea! The store was quiet, she did not offer to find another assistant to help. We decided to go ahead with our purchases but not once did this lady give us any acknowledgement eg eye contact, smile, help! which is so unfortunate as we usually love visiting and supporting this business but this experience has left us feeling rather disappointed .

Great shop. Something in there for everybody and everything.. Everything from sofas, cookers, fridges and bathrooms. Great little showroom. Lots to choose from. New range of towel rails. Would recommend a look if your local..

The sale staff were helpful when purchasing our range cooker,but when I called to confirm delivery and fitting first they could not find our order but luckily they eventually found it,when I asked for times of delivery and fitting they could only tell me of the fitting time not the delivery, when you spend over £1000 on an item you should be given excellent service not the poor service we were given

Absolute gem of a place, nothing else like it. You can get in and out quick if you need because there are always enough staff to help/ring up your purchases quickly, but I love to spend AGES in here just browsing for fun for all my hobbies, DIY, and decor stuff. 😁 Prices are good, staff are lovely, even the hours are fantastic (many times I've been stressing because I've spent too long browsing and it's almost 5pm but I just want to look at one more thing...! Then I realise they don't close for another hour!) oh, and they even have FREE parking so when I walk out with a million things I don't have to hike miles back to the car with them 🤣

I visited the store today with my elderly father to buy a new hob. My thanks to both Mark in sales & Ed who fitted the item for their sensitivity and understanding . Dad has early dementia and can be difficult but despite my worries , we made a purchase and Dad is chuffed with his new hob and life is good 😊 To find a shop with this level of customer service is rare .

Great local hardware store with a huge range of departments. Some things are upstairs and not sure if there is a lift for disabled access. Car park by the back door is free and usually a space available. Love having such a wide range of options locally. Staff can be helpful although it's a bit variable

Having visited your store yesterday I have to compliment you on your amazing helpful friendly staff, every member we spoke to were just so pleasant and helpful. A special massive thank you to Alan in the lighting department, so knowledgeable ,patient , helpful and friendly. A great asset to your store. Will certainly be revisiting and recommending your store to all our friends . Thank you all once again.

Don't know why but we came during a hot day in July and it felt as though we were walking into an American shopping mall, massive concrete pillers great you as you walk down a covered walk way. The entrance is off to the right of the end of the walkway, it would be nicer if the walkway led directly into the store. The store itself is a single story and has an early 90s vibe to it. The toilets were quite smelly but clean, the tiles on the floor had a lot of black and yellow tape to cover cracks etc. plenty of stock on the shelves and very quick checkout because of the self service.

Would give lower if it was possible. The staff here have a complete lack of ability to provide polite or appropriate customer service. Staff put minimal effort into assisting customers, spending time on their phone whilst on the active checkout desks or refusing to help customers find desired products.

We go for our Groceries all the time. Well stocked Tesco Extra. The only thing which can be improved is the stock of South Asian foods and a section of Halal meet would be a great addition.

I have been club member for over 9 years. I like to use the scan as you shop because with two little ones with me used to be the quickest way and most organised one for me. In the last few months I have had my full shopping checked every time, items like eggs broken as they repack everything with no care like I do. It is a real nightmare!!! Such a waste of time and terrible time after as the children get bored and bothered. Tesco should up their game and if you are going to trust us to scan our shopping trust that we have scanned everything, otherwise give us back more regular checkouts, that way you can check my shopping as you scan😡

Not a nice experience today at Cirencester Tesco. Tesco seems to be getting more and more customer unfriendly. I would have called customer service to make a complaint but seems somewhat impossible. I was using the self service isle, the only one there, as it was quiet and i felt someone stand behind me. One of their staff members, probably new as I didn't recognise him. But he made me feel very watched and uncomfortable, so I turned around and said you are making me feel very uncomfortable, I am just trying to do my shopping in peace. He said, I don't understand, so I repeated, please can you stand away from me as I feel very uncomfortable with you, again just repeated I don't understand. I darn't say to him do you mean you don't understand English? As that could be perceived as Racist in today's climate! I tried to talk to him fairly but all he said was I don't understand. Where in the job description does it say to make the customer feel very uncomfortable whilst shopping? and when customer points this out in a calm manner, just repeat I don't understand? Did he not understand English or was he purposely trying to wind me up because I said he was making me feel uncomfortable? I don't know but he has left me feeling uncomfortable with my shopping experience today.

Lovely cafe, really good food and coffee, lots of choice with a nice atmosphere. Free parking, grab your shopping and relax for lunch, breakfast for a cup of tea.. it's all here!

Every time I go there's always large queues at the cash checkouts , the self serve checkouts don't take cash ,thus a long wait if like me you pay with cash - Go to Aldi and they have cash self serve checkouts and staffed tills that are a lot quicker than Tesco's

Terrible customer service. One staffmember at the doorside checkout determined to finish her conversation with a personal acquaintance before serving customers. Product knowledge lacking, so has to call a supervisor from the other end of the store. No-one else serving in the meantime. Staff in the pharmacy avoiding eye contact with customers out at the tills so that they do not have to serve them. If you ask if anyone is serving, you're told 'this is the healthcare counter', the point apparently being that they only want to serve you at that till if you 'want something from behind the counter'. Customers are apparently expected to know this through clairvoyance without it actually being communicated anywhere. And presumably nothing sold on the main floor is regarded as 'healthcare'. What on earth has happened to this company?

Mostly well-stocked and pleasant staff. However, deducting stars because I made an online return to this shop. Was given a flimsy scrap of handwritten paper from shop assistant, nothing official, as proof of my return and breezily told I'd get the refund soon. It's been beyond the waiting period and I have nothing. Maybe good for in-store shopping but don't return stuff here, staff seem to have no idea how to process orders, or have no connection with Boots online. Boots just told me they have not received any return. Have tried calling this store multiple times, no one will ever pick up. Either way I'm out of pocket and need to go through hassle of finding money! Boots, get your act together!

they never open at 9.00 but few minuts later,even if customers waiting outside ,You can see staff talking inside with not rush..once they open I had to wait in the counter again because not staff anywhere I have to ask for a staff member to be attended.as they walked up and down ignoring us;

I love boots and their offers. I highly recommend you get the advantage card for the points it is really worth it . I like this location but a lot of the time shelves are empty and there are no staff there, other times there are 5 people working !!!

I do not recommend Boots Pharmacy in Cirencester. It has taken three visits and a long wait on each occasion to collect a prescription. The processes are obviously broken and therefore need revamping or they will lose customers. The staff are helpful and it is not their fault that the systems are poor. Boots management needs a wake up call.

Sorry but have to be honest and report very poor attitude and service at the dispensary for prescriptions. Often a que and staff members behind the counter know full well people are waiting but go very slowly to ensure people wait longer you can almost feel the contempt from the staff often the younger ones for the people waiting. My advice is go elsewhere say lloyds in Ashcroft Rd if collecting in town, your treated in a polite and courteous way. Im sick of poor service my advice don't put up with it.

Review 2019 - Sorry to say I can't say anything good about this branch of Boots. Poorly informed member staff willing to argue with a customer instead of checking their incorrect product knowledge with a better trained colleague. Review 2018 - I wish they would get their prescription service better organised. Please send your texts in a timely way. At the moment it's haphazard. This time my text arrived 4 days after I'd picked my prescription up! They often complain of being really busy but I find it hard to be sympathetic. Getting the texts out on time will help make them less busy and reduce queuing.

Ride 24/7 have been great to deal with. Mitch and Dave have been fantastic with communications, being responsive and patient whilst I dallied about handlebar choices. They were both really helpful in arranging a demo ride on a Reilly Fusion with the support of Reilly Cycleworks. The care taken later completing the build and additional effort to expedite the right handlebars was much appreciated. The passion that Mitch and Dave have for cycling and their appreciation for the beauty of bicycles is obvious and made the adventure of a new bike all the more exciting.

There are bike shops, there are great bike shops and then there is Ride 24/7! Every trip there feels like an event. The customer service is second to none and you get looked after like you are family. They are the only people I trust to look after my bikes and I do all I can to put my custom through them even if it’s for brands they don’t stock. I could not recommend Mitch and Dave highly enough 🙏

I found my dream bike at Ride 24/7, a Colnago V4RS with Dura Ace Di2, but I wanted to customise it and give myself some options for the future, when I'm older and slower! I worked on the spec with Dave Evans and we came to a great arrangement and I now have my dream bike with extras. Three things about Ride 24/7 in particular were absolutely excellent in my experience :- 1. The highest quality and technical knowledge of the whole team, advising me on the best customisation that would suit my needs. 2. The high quality and follow through of customer service from all the team. 3. The amazing showroom and workshop complete with coffee. My conclusion is that I should invest and buy more from this amazing bike shop. Pete H

Huge thanks to Dave, Mitch and Dean for all your advice, patience and help and for putting together my absolutely fantastic new bike I love it. I would totally recommend this shop to anyone looking for their dream bike.

I’m a new customer at Ride 24/7 and really impressed with both the range of products and the service. Mitch and Dave were incredibly helpful — they took the time to understand what I was looking for and gave honest, knowledgeable advice without any pressure. The shop is well stocked with quality gear, and everything feels carefully chosen rather than just shelves of generic stuff. Great experience all round — I’ll definitely be coming back!

I've been using Ride 24/7 for years and honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. Mitch and Dave are absolute legends — always friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help no matter what time of day. Whether it’s a quick fix or something more involved, they always go the extra mile to get me back on the road. It’s rare to find a shop with this level of service and care. Highly recommend them to anyone 👍

Exceptional service. The process of buying my dream bike has been a delight from start to finish. Thank you Mitch & Dave!

Had an awful experience here. The post office staff appeared to be very under trained and did not have much knowledge of machinery/stickers/pries for mail. The staff were very confrontational, which i was most displeased by. The staff made the environment very uncomfortable with other customers as one of the staff members quite aggressively raised their voice and after proceeded to ignor me.

Sunday 16/02/25 customers waiting outside for them to open 10 minutes late when we can watch the staff stating the day talking and not in rush,,NO APOLIZIGies OR GOOD MORNING .The man seems annoyed when I said he was late...he ignored me.Not suprise me is clossing down soon.

Can always get what I want and very good service. My review was 3 years ago - Different story now. Staff are not trained the basics. Just spent £70 and not even a thank you. I wouldn't be surprised if this store is not in for an asset stripping exercise.

It's like any normal whsmith but the layout with the post office is frustrating as you have to go half way into the shop to get your parcel or envelope ...then turn back on yourself to pay for it and then go back through the shop to the otherside to the post office. A little rearranging of the shop would be good

Looks like Woolies when it was closing down back in 2009. Stock is generally not displayed well and the shop is poorly lit. Have you heard of the words REFURBISHMENT? Your store looks like it was last updated in the 90s. I avoid at all costs and try and shop in Poundland for stationery. Only good point it that staff are helpful and are good at helping you if you need anything.

A very beautiful & historical building selling newspapers & magazines, stationery, hardback books & novels, greeting cards, Inks, confectionery plus so much more, there is also a Post Office within the store.

Not as large selection of magazines as I would have liked but a friendly place with post office facilities, very useful. What I would expect in a small town.

Kieren was super helpful in sorting out my parents broadband and mobile contracts. He was very patient and polite, answered all of our questions, upgraded a device, clarified the contract terms and end dates and helped re-set some account details. Thanks Kieren!

Today I had an interaction with Kieron at your branch. He was most obliging and pleasant. All in all a very happy experience and I would highly recommend

My wife visited the Cirencester branch this morning, she was extremely impressed with the patience and professionalism from Zuveria who helped with her disabled father’s issues with his phone , thank you for such excellent service

Absolutely great service from Tom the store manager and his team. What a friendly and helpful team! My mum and I went to in upgrade her phone and broadband and he gave us a really great deal, but more importantly was very kind and explained everything to my mum! A* service - I’d highly recommend!

Customer service at this branch is phenomenal. Kieran went above and well beyond sorting a problem out with my partners iPhone. A true credit to the company. Thanks so much again !!!!!

Spoke to Dan and he was amazingly helpful transferring apps and info over to my new phone. Thanks Dan. Also big shout out to Zuvira for setting me up with my new phone and contract. Great team, great service.

Popped in to sort out a new contract. Dan was very helpful and set up the new contract very quickly. Gave very clear instructions regarding th3 swap over. Excellent service. Would recommend. Thank you!

A lovely bookshop with lots of great books for children, young adults & adults. Fiction and non fiction. Well worth a visit.

A lovely book shop with lots of books for children! It's very welcoming and we got amazing recommendations for beautiful books with great rhymes and a wonderful message. We definitely recommend!

Quite honestly the loveliest bookshop we have ever been into. This is an incredible shop for kids and amazingly vast selection of beautiful books! Please visit ,you will not be disappointed!

Excellent service. Great recommendations for myself and the kids. Been a long time since I experienced the personal touch feeding my love for reading. Extensive children and young adult collection. Highly recommended.

Purchased two books - paid cash and was served by a lovely lady. Two days later was served by a man who insisted the business was card only! Someone was lying! I avoid card only businesses as I believe in choice and not dictatorship! Very expensive anyway so won’t be back!

BOOKISH WONDERLAND ! I can't even begin to express how AMAZING this bookshop is! 📚✨ Every single time I step foot inside, it's like stepping into a literary paradise, and I'm NEVER, EVER disappointed! 😍 The staff is an absolute dream, with their boundless knowledge and recommendations that are so on point, they're practically mind-reading wizards! 🧙‍♂️ The shop itself is like a warm, welcoming embrace, just waiting to envelop you in a world of books and little treasures around every corner. 🏡💎 And let's talk about those book editions – they're not just books; they're SPECTACULAR, breathtaking works of art! 🎨📖 If you're lucky enough to find yourself in Cirencester, It's an absolute MUST-VISIT destination.

I was wandering around Cirencester, going down the little side roads to see what was there when I came across this little book shop. The shop itself is small and welcoming. I can tell that it's a big hit with the younger readers which is great! The lady on the till desk who I'm guessing was the owner was so lovely! Will definitely try and visit again!

What is the point of the having this shop. Nothing in stock at all, use Amazon instead

Awful customer service. Asked to view an item of jewellery - value £90. Told me they didn't allow viewing before purchase! After I insisted the item was brought out. I had to then ask for it to be removed from a plastic bag. After purchase I had to rebox myself. Won't be going back.

Spent £400 on a carpet cleaner and couple of bits as said available today and after they took money they said not available for 10 days. Now I have to wait 5 days for money to be returned as need the stuff today. Absolutely disgusting

My elderly husband went into Cirencester Argos to buy a TV, the person who helped him,was very knowledgeable and gave great advice,he went on to but a Hisense 43" TV. Thank you to Andy.it was delivered by 8.15am next day by Harry who was very polite, excellent service .

Don't bother they never have stock in store save your time and go to greenbridge where they keep telling me to go. 4 times this has happend to me this year, your machines tell me its in store I go to buy the item to be told its not in store, nearest one is swindon. Useless

Standard issue argos. Poor stock levels. A third of anything I have gone there is not available and needs to be ordered days in advance. On the plus side - Never ever busy.

I paid for a ticket then sat on some chairs at the front... AND I WON! A nice man called my number and I went home with a free windbreak and beach ball.

I was originally shown the apartment by Phil who was new to Cannons and seemed as enthusiastic about the place as I was. He was extremely helpful in securing the apartment for me and managing the paperwork. Once in, Angela was my contact day to day and sorted any issues that arose with good humour and efficiency. Overall I was extremely impressed with Cannons and would recommend their services to anyone looking to rent or buy in the area.

I really recommend cannon estates for anyone who is looking to rent. Phil was super helpful throughout and the whole process was made easy. Whenever we had questions someone always picked up the phone to help. Thank you to the whole team!

We dealt with the whole team at Cannons, all of whom really worked hard to support is with securing the property and making sure everything went smoothly. Also liked the workflow system used to keep us up-to-date with each stage of the process. Couldn't have asked for a better agent to look after us - would highly recommend.

Evan Stevenson has been my primary point of contact with Cannon Estates and has proven himself to be enthusiastic, a good communicator and genuinely invested in providing me with the best service he can to sell my property.

I really enjoyed staying at the property – it was a great experience. Phil was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout. Much appreciated for his support. Many thanks for everything to Cannon Lettings and Landlord.

Great service/ communication from start to finish, can’t recommend cannon enough! Angela is great at her job and always a pleasure to speak with. Overall a great professional team.

I’ve been a client of Liz Cannon at Cannon Estates for over 18 years, originally as a let-only landlord and now a fully managed landlord. Switching to fully managed has been a game changer – not only has it saved me a fortune, but my tenants are also much happier! Recently, I sold one of my properties and purchased another through Liz and her fantastic team. The entire process was outstanding from start to finish. A huge thank you to Liz and the team – without a doubt, the best estate agent in Cirencester!"

We loved our stay! Only a short visit - 2 nights - but would highly recommend staying at the Ivy House! Paul & Sue were hospitable in every way possible. The rooms were lovely and a good mix of cozy and modern. The English breakfasts were outstanding, made even better by the wonderful conversations with the owners and other guests. It has a small town feel so that you feel like a local. Central location - we explored all of the surrounding Cotswold towns. Paul & Sue are wonderful hosts and made our stay at the Ivy House and our visit to England a holiday to remember. Would stay here again and would highly recommend!

What a lovely find, beautifully decorated with lovely special touches throughout. Extremely clean and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. Lovely hosts. A stay here is highly recommended. Room had a lovely view.

Really friendly owners. Clean and comfortable room. Lovely breakfast.

Fab location to stay as it's near the shops and close to the theatre. Sue and Paul are lovely hosts and we felt very welcome :)

I found the accommodations to be very clean and well-maintained. The room I stayed in was cozy and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax and unwind. One of the things that really stood out to me during my stay was the hospitality of the hosts. They were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making sure that I had everything I needed to feel at home. Overall, I would highly recommend the Ivy House Bed and Breakfast to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, you're sure to enjoy the warm hospitality and comfortable accommodations offered by this lovely B&B.

I think this must be the best place for a genuine experience at a British guesthouse. The hosts are fantastic and make you feel at home. Traditional bfast cooked the way you like, what else could you ask for? There is guest parking and you can walk to the town centre

Excellent BnB in a great location for Cirencester. Very friendly staff who made us welcome and served a lovely breakfast. Perfect stop for our wedding nearby

Wonderful shop and lovely people. They have a wide selection of seasonal bulbs and plants. A great range of pet food and accessories. They can't do enough to help, particularly accommodating in helping those who are vulnerable due to Covid, (letting them pay outside) which allows them access to all the above and to feel included. So grateful.

Staff are incredibly friendly, and always have answers to questions that you may give. Definitely better customer service than pets at home. Would also recommend buying animals from here as they are in better condition and are well cared for.

Once again, Cheltenham Sandford park is beautifully looked after and a lovely surprise just off the High Street. Brilliant to relax in over lunch and a good book, or to walk the dog within its gates.

I dont 100% agree with some of there fish. But the red cap orandas that i got are healthy and amazing. I think toomers is a good animal store and i would recommend the fish over pets at homes.

Good shop. Something for all pets, used to be a regular visitor before I moved, I'd stock up in frozen rodents.

Helpful staff..lovely to have an independent pet shop in town. We are always supporting them.

we go to Toomers at Lydiard Millicent, they are all very friendly and helpful people there... our favorite Garden Centre, pet shop supplies, even a cafe..

Yesterday went into shop to have data from my old tphone transferred to a new phone I had purchased from this store previously. Jack was extremely helpful and patient, friendly and charming throughout, explained clearly what was happening. Excellent service.

I recently had cause to head to the Cirencester EE Shop to arrange new phone contracts for me and my wife prior to heading off for a holiday in Australia and New Zealand. The first person I dealt with was very friendly, but ultimately there were a couple of issues which necessitated a second visit the following day. The next day I dealt with Rowan, and he resolved the issues very professionally and efficiently, meaning we are able to enjoy full connectivity with our family at home while we are on holiday. Mistakes can happen in this area and I accept that, but I firmly believe the most important thing is how these issues are resolved, and Rowan was exceptional in resolving the issues. He was also very pleasant to deal with. Full marks and thank you Rowan.

Came in with two problems that EE could not help me with online. A great member of staff helped me immediately. Will just come into store next time to resolve any issues!

Utterly appalling service. spent 1.5 hours in shop buying a new phone and contract. The new phone did not turn up on time, no call to say when it would be. Transfer by PAC from old phone to new took over a week despite being told it was 48 hours. I have no information whatsoever about EE, no contract, no nothing. I am on an unlimited contract for 2 years. Today I receive a text to say I have reached my limited and will be barred from use. The Customer Service in the shop to resolve this is non existence - you are not doing me a favour by offering to call customer services to resolve this. Whatever that number is. Steve Bush is the Manager if anyone has the same issues, I hope he will resolve the attitude of their staff and committing to deliver and not.

Spent over an hour in the shop setting up a sim only contract, not even buying a phone. Followed the instructions when I got home to find out my number hasn’t transferred and I’ve had to spend most of my day on online chat to EE. Whenever we visit EE Cirencester it is just always, slow and unprofessional. We are very patient but when you pay for a service and aren’t receiving it, it’s not acceptable.

I have been EE customer for over 15 year, this store in Cirencester is the BEST place you can receive the WORST customer services on this planet. Twice I have been there and they couldn't resolve my problem, they were just quoting different excuses. My last visit was few days ago, I took my laptop there, after few augments, we concluded I should be issued a new sim card, after 30 minutes they couldn't issues the sim card, " OUR SYSTEM IS NOT LOGGING IN". I couldn't believe that They talked over each other, while agent A was dealing with with a female customer he will be talking over his colleague and interrupting another business that he was not asked to intervene. He trying to show off as if he knew every solution to all problems unfortunately he is the worst agent. A very bad experience. never will I go to that store again. Unhappily I rated one star, how I wish there is something below 1 star

Visited today and Alex did explain a number of options and did try to encourage me to change plan. I had gone in to get a replacement SIM as my phone wasn't working but it was originally an Orange SIM. His colleague said they would not replace an Orange SIM even though EE have taken over Orange and my account is with EE After some strong words on my part they phoned EE and I have been assured that a replacement SIM will be with me in 3 or 4 days. Very helpful and patient staff but be careful you don't come out with something you don't want though I will probably take up one of the options offered Thank you Alex!

Nice little mall close to car park has a nightclub up stairs , butchers pet shop phone shop health shop phone repairs as well the best milkshake place

Great place to wander through

Very charismatic area, the hotel on burgh island is lovely. Great atmosphere at the pub by it as well. Clean beach when the tide is out.

Pleasant arcade with a variety of shops. Most importantly, for me, it also houses 'Mudbear' an indoor golfing range.

A lovely place to saunter either to buy or just window shop The aroma coming from the just baked Pie shop is amazing well worth a visit all under cover plus a cafe

A charming place to visit

The best Milkshakw I have had. Great friendly service and so many combinations. A few more visits needed I think!

Both Clare and Danielle (supervised by Roxy 🐶) were amazing. I went into this whole process with a distinct lack of confidence - I know absolutely nothing when it comes to clothes or fashion, and even less when it comes to smart wear. I’ve never really owned a “proper” suit before, let alone a made to measure one. In a lot of other suit and menswear shops, I felt quite intimidated. I don’t think it was intentional, but the language used and the assumption you understood the basic concepts were often quite alienating and off putting. This was not the case at Turner and Hares. It was the type of place where I felt I could revel in my lack of knowledge, and ask the “dumb” questions that came into my head during the MTM process. And those questions were always met with a friendly and clear answer. I really value being comfortable displaying those insecurities, and being met with reassurance and advice - it’s such a nice way to learn. I was also really grateful for Clare and Danielle’s opinions. It was helpful to have a knowledgeable soundboard for bouncing ideas off. They had a measured approach that stopped me from buying a hot-pink suit that I’d likely regret (maybe another day…), but equally encouraged me to add the flourishes to my suit that gave it character that I really wanted. Can’t recommend them enough. Already trying to find an excuse as to why I need some more bits from there - the boot selection in particular look super cool. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a very friendly dog looking for fuss, and coffee was always on offer - honestly, you can’t go wrong.

I thoroughly recommend the made to order service. I got my wedding suit and best man's suit from Turner and Hares. Both Claire and Danielle were very knowledgeable and helpful in creating the perfect suits for the day. Being able to choose so many of the details, from stitching, to lining, to a couple of embroidered messages really added the personal touch to the suits.

A fantastic shop run by great people! Thank you for helping me with my suit trousers and when they didn’t fit perfectly caring enough to resolve the issue and post them back to me. In a word ‘Brilliant!’

I cannot recommend the made-to-measure service here highly enough. I recently got married and got my suit here, which was an extremely enjoyable experience from start to finish. Selections are vast (in the hundreds at least), and I was able to choose literally every detail of the suit: materials, linings, buttons and an embroidered detail in the lining! Clare and Danielle were amazing through the whole process and I am thrilled with the end product. They even offered to take my shirt to have my shirt tailored so that it sat perfectly. A great service run by great people.

I had my wedding suit made by Turner and Hares this year. The attention to detail was incredible during the design stage, completely understanding and working with my taste and style to create the perfect suit. The staff and attentive and caring, going above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the fit, style and everything else. The suit itself was incredible. The fit was perfect, the quality of the tweed was second to none and the detail with the stitching was beautiful. I will definitely be coming back for future events, I cannot imagine getting another suit from anywhere else apart from Turner & Hares

Had my wedding suit made by these fabulous guys. The attention to detail was amazing and we had fun creating the most awesome suit. Shorts are the future!! Thank you so much Highly recommended

Love this shop. Lots of my favourite brands. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. My wallet is happy I live about an hour and 45 minutes away!!

Popped in near closing time, friendly staff! Unsure sure what size I was but the lady was helpful and had a laugh with her. Highly recommend! No big upsell, went in looking for the boots I wanted and left with them. I wish I could remembered her name.

I think Jones Bootmakers need to sort their stocks and website. Placed an order for a birthday present and the day before the given delivery date a refund notification came through on email with no explanation. The following day had another email later detailing that they had sold out. Don’t take peoples money if you can not supply the goods.

Came in while visiting the area and was served by Jo, who was so helpful and friendly. She is a credit to your business! ...thanks from the pregnant woman 😉

Rude. Just popped in to browse at just after 4.20pm on a Sunday. I knew the sh op was shutting at 4.30pm. The woman didn’t say hello or ask how she could help, just said abruptly “the shop’s shutting in 2 minutes” I replied oh - I didn’t think you closed until 4.30, turned and walked out. I won’t be walking into that shop again. It’s hard enough for retailers to make ends meet in small towns.. if this experience is anything to go by, I’m not surprised.

Just bought a pair of smart shoes, Elaine was very lovely and helpful. Brilliant customer service. Will come back again

Great service! A really fantastic customer service experience. Found a great deal on some tall boots, and the salesperson was very patient and helpful in giving me personal attention and feedback to help me find just the right pair. Thank you!

A very fashionable and modern shoe shop, good customer service. Located in the market place with a great view of the church, and a lot of variety in shoes ranging from casual loafers to formal dress shoes to practical working boots.

I bought a lovely jumper on Tuesday but the assistant had left the security tag on which means I now have to make a round trip of 20 miles to have it taken off. We all make mistakes but it's a bit inconvenient to say the least. I don't need anything else in Cirencester today so will go solely for that purpose. I did get a rather lame apology which I tried to accept graciously. Maybe give a small discount or something as a gesture of goodwill? Feeling a little disappointed in White Stuff.

Swmbo bought some new stuff here but it wasn't white😊

Best time is the sales, expensive otherwise. Good stuff though.

Lovely shop. Friendly and helpful staff. Quality clothing

Always polite, helpful and happy staff. Dog-friendly too!

Fantastic clothes, helpful staff

Miserable old man running the shop who clearly doesn’t like children being in his shop, despite the fact that they stock a range of jellycat toys. Most unwelcome from the moment we walked in. Will certainly never return.

Very rude man working in this shop, popped in for a browse as passing by. Felt like he was watching us the entire time and said thank you when we left, received nothing but a horrible glare in return. Very uncomfortable experience.

Cute place!

(Translated by Google) Very nice, friendly shop for souvenirs (Original) Très belle boutique sympa pour les souvenirs

(Translated by Google) The cashier stole £50 from me, when I tried to get him to explain why he did it, he didn't listen to me and in the end I lost the money. Terrible store (Original) El cajero me robó 50 £,cuando intenté que me explicará por qué lo hizo, no me hizo caso y al final perdí el dinero.Pésima tienda

(Translated by Google) Very good place (Original) Muy buen sitio

Fascinating "little" shop which seems to go on forever. Extends over more than one floor but yours truly only managed to explore the ground one due to what seems to be thousands of purchasable items around every corner. Half expected to bump into another Japanese soldier not aware that the war ended. Please don't quote me on this but I think I overheard that goods in excess of twenty bar can be haggled over in terms of the final cost. It may also be true, but probably isn't, that the proprietor is open to being challenged to an arm-wrestle to determine prices. What is certain is that I was made to feel very welcome even though I mentioned I was only browsing. If you're in Cirencester knock the Corn Hole (booooo!) on the head and cross the road to this little gem.

One of the biggest antique shops I have visited and you can find a lot of things there. Cirencester Antiques Centre is a true gem for antique lovers. The variety and quality of items on display are remarkable, ranging from vintage furniture to rare collectibles. Each piece tells its own story, making the experience both fascinating and enjoyable. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate about antiques, providing insightful information and friendly service. The ambiance of the shop is charming, with well-organized displays that make browsing a pleasure. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just looking for a unique find, this shop is definitely worth a visit!

We loved wandering through this sprawling indoor antique shop, where every inch of every room was filled with treasures and curiosities. Each member of the family found items to pique interest and we were surprised by how large this building actually is! Room after room surprised us. Prices were very fair and items were nicely displayed. Definitely worth a visit!

Oh such a marvelous place to spend the afternoon! Recommended for those who like to get lost in between antique stuff, art, old tools, ceramics, vintage toys and unknown artefacts in absolutely great condition! Great attention too! Incredible finds there. We will surely be back for more antique hunting! :)

The best shop in Cirencester. If you like trinkets, fine arts and curiosities, this is the place for you. You step in to what I can only describe as an "Aladdins Cave", It just goes on, and on and on. Staff were also very professional. Great shop!

I have visited this place today just amazing value for money whatever you want under one roof i certainly recommend for paople who love Antiques.

Really had high hopes for this place based on the photos but found it a complete waste of time. Very motley assortment of items, none of it appealing. Take your antique buying elsewhere.

Lovely town and some great cars on the day

I've a friend who is coeliac, there's a number of stalls in Cirencester open market who cater very well for her culinary needs. I wasn't to know but it turns out that Saturday, the day I visited, is 'Continental' market day (whatever that means. Anyone want a Korean corn dog?). The stalls I specifically went to see weren't there, perhaps they failed to be continental enough? Anyhoo, I thought I'd review anyway just in case I drop dead prior to going back there. I'm not planning to, but you never know when the grim reaper will scythe your legs from beneath you. Not usually a fan of coffee served in a paper cup but the two young ladies in the mobile coffee shop presented me with a delicious latte, complete with an adequate swirly. They also seemed to be tremendous fun with boundless energy. I would highly recommend this market, not only on Saturdays, but also when those coeliac friendly stalls are around.

Love the easy-going market with an assortment of craft and produce stalls Well worth a visit. And great coffee too

Great little market, with different markets on 4 times a week. Farmer’s market fortnightly is the best - great produce including spirits & liqueurs from local distilleries.

Best place to get all of the local goods - pies, cheese and even yarn!

Wheelchair access is very good with paved flat surfaces and the stalls are always laid out with wide aisles. Disabled parking is nearby but get here early on market day (Friday). The market place has been resurfaced for step free access from pavement to road and the indoor market opposite is step free, as are the individual shops and cafe. Cirencester offers freedom to wheelchair users and is a real lesson in accessibility.

Large variety of different Artisan stalls, especially the Biltong stall. Really yummy stuff

My husband found some good vinyls there. He said he will defo go back for more.

I bought 2 lovely bedside tables, made from recycled wood! Excellent quality and price!! I will be going back! Eve x

Great selection and very friendly service. Thank you!

Great shop

Prices are ridiculous. £85 for a insubstantial Gucci sunglasses case, £12 for a used dress from Tesco, £195 for a very poor quality pine chest of drawers that would probably cost less than £100 new, I could go on....Surely it makes more sense to price things sensibly so that they sell and raise money for this very worthwhile cause which was surely the intent of the donors. All the customers seemed to be equally astounded. Staff were very friendly.

Just moved into a new house and got my sofa from here. A lot cheaper that what I could find online and super good quality for something seccond hand. The staff were really lovely and helpful, also communicated well about the delivery of the sofa. They have lots of items to chose from, would reccomend, especially as the money is going to a good cause 🫶

Staying in Cirencester and visited the shop for the first time. Ludicrous prices- no comparison to the other charity shops in the area. Women sat at till with short bobbed blonde hair was discussing with a young male with short dark hair items and what she had got from the shop at discount price for her self. She didnt move off the chair or bother to ask anyone if they needed help . I went over to the electrical items near till and could see she was on Ebay. I wouldnt donate to this store at all or advise anyway with their relatives precious items .

Firstly I would like to start by saying how expensive this charity shop is. Items which I have seen new in the original shops are a quarter of the price this charity shop is selling for. The staff are extremely rude, I believe it is the manager of the shop a women with short blonde hair who is usually working out the back. I was with my daughter and my daughter is of darker skin, I’m not sure if this was why she followed my daughter around the shop, making my daughter feel very uncomfortable to the point she wanted to leave the shop and was extremely upset about it. This is not a charity at all, it’s very hard to believe that this manager cares about the welfare of cats & dogs as her attitude towards humans is concerning. I will be making a formal complaint to the regulating body of this charity shop and in particular the manager and person behind the prices.

Phoned up asked if they could takes some boxes of linen and toys from me, had to explain what linen was, they replied in the affirmative, so we loaded up the car with lots of boxes and when we arrived they took 3 small boxes and refused the rest, as they didn't have the space. An absolute waste of time, effort and fuel. I will never give a donation of any type to this charity again and would not recommend it to any one.

Wow what a lovely charity shop, we were on holiday and found this great shop. We frequently use charity shops and this one was beautifully laid out with a great selection of furniture, brica clothing and much more. We found the prices a little bit more expensive than what we are used to in Norfolk but this seemed normal for your area. Staff and volunteers very welcoming and friendly.

This charity shop has everything from furniture to wedding dresses. I found the the items I was hoping to get, and some really great quality clothes. Well organised and presented as a retail space. What really adds that extra touch is the lovely friendly staff. It's like being welcomed by old friends who at the same time are all about customer service. Special mentions go to Liam and Sam who were at the payment desk today. Really friendly and upbeat guys who represent the charity well with their interactions and the way they had everything well organised.

Great service, always happy to help!

DO NOT TRUST.

Superb service
