Chef & Rooster

Huge collection of designer outlets. You will find almost all the brands here. As being outlet prices, some brands got further reduction in prices. There few restaurants as well, including McDonald’s Burger King, as well as some libanese, Indian and Mexican restaurants. The prices are bit high. We tried burritos and tacos, not up to par quality. A big playground for the kids. Ample free parking, still fully booked due to the weekend.

First time visiting over the weekend. Impressive amount of shops. Good discounts in the shops as well. Something for everyone I would say. It was just really busy despite the rain but we did come on a Saturday afternoon in the summer holidays. I would just recommend either coming late or through the week if your after a quieter shopping experience because some of the shops are not that big and it can make it harder to shop when it’s really busy

We visited whilst we was in the area on a Saturday evening. It was very very busy but still manageable. We had to queue to enter a few shops but only for 5-10 minutes. We still managed to find our sizes in everything we wanted. Outlet discount was really good. There was a couple shops that wasn’t open for renovations. I wish closed shops was listed on the website because it was quite disappointing. It took us about 4-5 hours to do all of the shops. We would love to revisit.

Definitely the best outlet in the UK with the most variety of designer shops and plenty of free parking spaces. Plenty of restaurants and cafes for proper sit in dining or quick bites. Perfect day out for those who love shopping.

Weekend visiting the daughter and hubby was supposed to be relaxing, but they had other plans. Shopping plans. And guess where they dragged me along? A designer outlet next door. How convenient. I'm not a big fan of shopping, in case you couldn't tell. So I had to endure a whole day of browsing through fancy stores that sell overpriced stuff I don't need. At least there was plenty of free parking, so I didn't have to pay extra for this torture. The good thing about the place was restaurant choice, but it was so crowded on Sunday that we had to wait in line for ages. The prices were not bad, but I didn't see many people carrying heavy bags. Maybe they were smarter than us and saved their money for something else. Like a movie ticket. That's right, there was a cinema nearby, and I managed to sneak away for a couple of hours while the ladies were busy shopping. It was the best part of the day. I got to watch some thriller and forget about the shopping nightmare for a while. The worst part was the WiFi and mobile reception. It was terrible. I couldn't check anything online or call anyone. It was like being in a black hole. How am I supposed to compare prices or find reviews or look for coupons? And how am I supposed to meet up with them when we're done? It was a mess. Oh, what a day! I hope they appreciate what I did for them. Next time, I'm staying home.
