It sells women's fashion and menswear from a large number of well-known labels, as well as homewares. |
Particularly notable, in this reviewer's opinion, for a large cookware section and food hall in the basement, with a good selection of packaged goods from a variety of countries, and good meat and cheese counters. The food hall contains a number of small restaurant areas, including [[Yo Sushi, CR0 1TY|a branch of Yo Sushi]]. |

[[Kake]] visited Seima's Tea Room on a Friday lunchtime in March 2019 and ordered their "sandwich platter" (£7), which included a pot of loose-leaf tea, two "half" or three "quarter" sandwiches, and a small leaf salad. I chose two "half" sandwiches with fillings of cucumber & tomato and tuna mayo <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/32376617557/ photo]</small> (other options were cheese & tomato and egg mayo). |
Comment added by [[Kake]]: Definitely agree with the food hall recommendation. It certainly used to do good bread as well - is that section still there? |

The cucumber and tomato were sliced nice and thin, and were fresh and crunchy. The tuna mayo had enough sharpness (presumably from a vinegar-heavy mayonnaise) to be interesting, and wasn't at all dry. The bread was granary and fairly undistinguished. The tea was good, and they explicitly asked me if I'd like more hot water for a second brew. <div class="last_verified">Last visited by [[Kake]], March 2019.
