Meadowhall

As my last few reviews have mentioned the place I did some Christmas shopping yesterday - Meadowhall, Sheffield - I thought id write a review about the place itself. Conveniently located just off Junction 34 on the M1 motorway you can't really miss the place, its large domed glass central roof is visible from the motorway and as you approach the Mall itself and its multiple car parks you really notice how huge it looks from the outside. Boasting 12,000 free car parking spaces, 1.5 million square foot of floor space and attracting over 24 million visitors every year Meadowhall is the probably the largest shopping mall in the South Yorkshire area, it ...  Read the complete review

Meadowhall is well located for shopping. Just off the M1 close to Sheffield. There is plenty of free parking and various enterances and exits making entering and leaving the shopping centre relatively easy. The shopping centre is in a sort of star shape with various 'legs' coming off a central food hall called the 'oasis'. The Oasis has lots of restaurants and fast food outlets meaning there is always something different to try. My favourites include La Taska, the baked potato stand and the curry hut. Towards the bottom end of meadowhall there are also a few other food outlets including Greggs and Burger King, should you get hunger mid shop! The ...  Read the complete review

Meadowhall Shopping Centre. Near Sheffield. Now I hate shopping Malls, not dislike, not, grumble about.....HATE. The Individuality of shops and shopping seems to have been swallowed up by these monstrosities which are built just out of big towns, usually off motorways, and usually full of the same old shops, selling the same old stuff, with chavvy staff that do not care a hoot about the customer. So why, might you ask am I reviewing such a place, especially when it has a tagline of 'Land of Shoppertunity'? (pass me the vomit bowl). Two reasons, firstly, like it or not, it has a better range of shops than Barnsley and secondly, ...  Read the complete review
