“I bought the roast beef dinner for 1 , very disappointed. Cooked as instructed, potatoes cooked fine, but the peas and carrots were uncooked, the meat ,well hard to describe, didn't taste like beef and quite hard. Yorkshire was fine . I'll stick to sainsburys in future. My opinion was the instructions were wrong on packet. Sharnt buy again.”

“Over the past couple of years I have become increasingly disappointed with the quality of produce and cut flowers. I have taken to buying in a number of other supermarkets and found in some cases a much higher quality for a cheaper cost. This is NOT about cost but quality and the drop in that is not what is expected from M&S...however this week my partner bought me long lilies that have been absolutely magnificent and I have enjoyed them for over a week. This surprised me as we have bought flower that barely lasted days and I felt the need to express my delight in these two gorgeous bouquets that have delighted me and ask M&S to look at who supply’s their products and take note that the customer has more choice than ever so they need to up their game!!!”

“I am of the generation who do not write reviews. However my recent experience at marks and spencer, Halifax branch has resulted in my first review. I recently bought a top, which I wore x 1. After washing it had a flaw in one shoulder. With confidence I returned the top expecting something, not this. " Its your fault you have washed it wrongly". I have been married over 42 years so am used to following garment washing instructions, this has never happened before. I asked to speak to the manager and was told" there is no point they will agree". I am shocked I expected a courteous response at the very least. shame on you marks and spencer”

“Visited Marks and Spencer’s in Hempstead Valley shopping centre this afternoon, extremely disappointed with service. Upstairs initially asked for a garment, was pointed in a ‘general’ direction, after which they immediately went back to what they were doing, it took me a further 5 minutes to find what I was looking for in a completely different area. Then went downstairs to pay for two other items, and one of them was damaged, I was sent to get another, no more my size, so was offered discounted price of all of £1.50 but no return if the stain did not come out, I said I would rather pay full price but be able to return if it did not come out. No this was not an option, they can order it in but I would have to collect it from the store, 20 away from where I live, not convenient, no delivery offered. Then was told there were 6 more in stock and was sent back again to check labels, getting rather irritated by now I did so. Still no luck. Someone should have been checking them for me at this rate. I told her not to bother I’d leave the item. I left annoyed and frustrated. Two instances in one visit of very bad customer service. Bad show M&S your standards are slipping !!”

“Regarding cafe, service slow on some occasions and many a time tables left unclean with crockery left on them. I can appreciate that at times they are busy but this is not always the case and they appear to have adequate staff on duty! Standard of ground coffee you are using in my estimation and other folk and friends who use your cafe shop have also commented on the deterioration over the years and say it is somewhat tastless and usually lukewarm hence the reason I request hot milk. Staff friendly enough but slow in their service and cleaning the tables. Cutlery not always clean and many a time i've had to request as they have not replenished the cutlery at the self service area. Come on MandS you have a reputation to safeguard and I am one of your loyal customers!”

“Today I treated myself to Coronation chicken. Not the sandwich filler, the meal size. On opening it I was angry to see that the lovely big pieces of chicken have been replaced by scrappy little pieces! I suppose this is M&S economisng. Bad move. It's no where near as good and I shan't buy it again. Come on M&S stop penny pinching!”

“I absolutely love the cheese twists from m&s and I've never had a problem before but this time I was so disappointed to open a new twin pack to find not one or a couple but all of the cheese twists broken into pieces in both packets! :( I was a bit embarassed as I bought them for a friend to recommend them to.”

“I have been a customer for over 30 years I buy all my clothes from marks. This week I have been in 3 different stores and in all 3 I found the Staff unhelpful and they made me feel that I should not be asking for their help. Where are the smiling friendly staff gone? They were all miserable and unhelpful I am sorry to I left marks a bit depressed.”

“I used to buy all my clothes and shoes at M&S. I am a few inches under 5' and a size 6 in most items. Some of the petite range clothes used to fit me but that range no longer exists and there is a very poor selection of extra short size 6 items in the normal range. These are always too long and I have to pay to get them altered. The bras and some of the tops and cardigans do fit me but it is very difficult.”

“I wouldn’t want to calculate how much I have spent in M and S over the last 45 years, but it will be easy to count it up from now on. Their clothes are getting worse and worse. Frumpy old fashioned and boring and I’m 64! They seem to go for a few designs in tops and dresses and produce them endlessly so it’s the same thing but just in a different colour or pattern and the material is awful. They mustn’t be looking at their customer feedback or if they are they ignore it. I used to buy at least one item of clothing a week from M and S often more than that. I struggle to find anything to buy now. As for SPARKs it would be good to get something for cutomer loyalty - I think it’s the worst loyalty card. In the last three months there have been gaps of weeks between one set of offers ending and new ones being made available - I’m assuming they think they will save money by doing this. They won’t - it only annoys people. The staff have stopped asking people for their SPARKS card - so maybe it’s on the way out.”

“I have always been a marks and spencer clothes customer but since our local store relocated from the town centre to the retail park in Crewe it is abysmal it’s dark squashed and thoroughly awful who ever picks the merchandise to sell in store? Been in today to treat myself and came out empty handed loads of woolies but hardly any decent t shirts or tops please take note I am not on my own lots of ladies were complaining so restock with new merchandise if possible as soon as possible.”

“Very disappointed with the way the goods were packed,they were pushed into a bag that was way too small and arrived in as a creased mess and covered in bits of fluff out of the bag as the didn’t have a plastic bag inside the pack to protect them.l will be returning them as they just don’t feel clean to me.”

“Poor customer service, never enough people on tills, and no, I don’t want to use self service which always ends up with me waiting for an assistant because there’s an issue with an item. Staff often rude. Food on display that is out of date or “blown packaging because it hasn’t been kept cold enough in waiting bay out the back. A fair amount of food is tasty but a bit of a lottery when buying ready made meals especially the Balanced for You range. However the Chinese and Japanese range is nice. Clothes displays appalling and uninspiring.”

“I asked a colleague where to find the brown paper bags for and he scowled at me, sighed and walked away. I then realised they were by the side and I didn't spot them but the worker was so rude and I was quite upset by the ridiculous behaviour by this worker. This was at a service station near Dover, England. He was unnecessarily rude and I was extremely un impressed. Not happy and I'm not going to M&S food ever again. I felt unwelcome and uncomfortable.”
