Contrary to some other reviews, you do not need a car to get here. We cycled from Belfast as a family (dad, 8 & 6 yo). Whilst this wasn't the reason for our trip, I made sure to include it as a main stop. In fact, we went back twice over the course of our weeks cycling as it was in the middle of 'Eat Out to Help Out' and we enjoyed a lot of great food on offer, probably too much. I don't think it's worth my while talking about the shops, we all know there are plenty but what about cycle facilities and things for kids? My two girls thankfully aren't shopaholics but we enjoyed probably 5-6 hours in the shopping complex doing two loops. As I said, the Eat Out scheme was in full flow so they enjoyed donuts, smoothies cookies, ice cream and we also had our dinner before we left too in a chicken place (can't remember the name) that did nice wings and criss cross chips. The play park unfortunately wasn't open but they enjoyed that on our previous visit a few years back. Whilst not aimed at kids, there's enough going on to keep their interest up. My girls especially enjoyed the haribo shop and getting their ears pierced at Claires, which was extortionate in my opinion, but cleverly they don't reveal the price until your kids are dead set on getting their ears done. We had cycled here on our tandem +1 bike. There is a covered bike parking area at the bottom of the multi storey car park. It is clean (surprisingly rare for cycle racks), covered (so the bikes aren't soaked or scorched) and the racks are secure sheffield style to lock to. Also, there is no through traffic (ie opportunistic pedestrians) which is a plus. I'm unsure about CCTV though, I didn't see any. It felt safe though leaving £2000+ of bike (& our travel bags) locked up here. There aren't any cycle tracks through the extensive car parks but as traffic moves so slowly, we didn't face any problems. The cycle network is on the periphery of the car parks and links well back into Chester or northwards, which was where we headed to catch the Stena boat. All in all, we had a positive experience, great food at 1/2 price, busy but plentiful shops and although we bought too much we enjoyed our trip and will certainly return next time we're riding through the area.…

Sales assistant called Marlene was absolutely fab. Showed us different types of sketches in my required colour and told me of deals which were on today so I ended up buying 2 pairs. Could not believe it when she told me of my last purchase in there from summer just in conversation. What a memory. Worth her weight in gold. Hope she gets promotion. She deserves it .…

Good shopping centre wide variety of shops. Good attention to Covid protection throughout & ample free parking. Only negative was we had a meal at Patisserie Valerie. We had “fish finger sandwich” which was average but took 40 minutes to come when the venue was only half full. Queried with the waitress the delay who replied “was being plated up” Clearly wasn’t, wouldn’t recommend.…
