Pop & Pup Toy Shop

Jules Verne penned around the world in eighty days, it takes four score days and costs a fortune. In the Five Valleys Shopping Centre you can go around the planet in a culinary sense, around the world in eighty meals, from all over differing cuisines. Chinese, Italian, Thai, Greek, Klingon..... no, not Klingon, that ain't on this Earth, but you can gorge on sweet and savoury to your heart's, or stomach's, content. There are also other shops, of the non-food variety should you wish to, for instance, cobble your shoes 👞 👟, if your shoes need cobbling. There are purveyors of clothing, purveyors of toys 🧸 🔫, and purveyors of things that I can't remember, just look at the pictures and see 👀 for yourself. I spoke to a couple of stall peeps, ever so friendly. Worth mentioning there's places to park the brum brum 🚗🚘 if you have a brum brum to park.

The food court is the stand out of five valleys, we have made it a family tradition to make Friday takeaway night but we visit and eat in at various outlets as they are all top class from the noodle bar, Biriyani Pot and Simpson Fish and chips ( all out favourites) to name but a few. The food along with the atmosphere especially on Fridays with live music makes this a go to place. Seriously, this street food and court is top class ! Don’t miss out! We sneak Saturday lunch times too! Highly recommended purely for the food. The rest of the centre although limited you can find great shops and essentials and even a library, opticians, peacocks and home bargain and remember it has as large car park and two pedestrian entrance/exits directly stepping in to the town … this plane is recommended and can be enjoyed with the right attitude it last.

This place is a gem. The food market is fantastic and we come just for that. I like the more independent and quirky shops that are springing up.

Was here yesterday, on business. What a lovely shopping center, with a varied shopping and even more varied eating. The main entrance is kinda cool and is still being finished off but there is a really interesting clock, with "Stroud Time" explained. An information board about the 5 valleys (as an outsider, I had no idea). It has a variety of small shops on the walkway, from a nail bar through mobile phone repair to a cobblers. Then Sandersons which is worth it just for the smell through to Sports direct and a poundland/Bargain shop and gym. The eating quarter is amazing, with alsorts of food from traditional to Thai and beyond. The is a good size car park although quite tight if you have a big car which has a while you wait/shop car wash, to a Tesco on the ground floor. In summary I dont think, other than a Greggs, I could want for more. I have attached some photos and have tried to remove the people for safety/ID purposes and it was quite bust when I was there

This Shopping Centre offers a delightful mix of shopping and dining experiences in a charming, modern setting. The thoughtful blend of independent retailers and popular brands ensures there’s something for everyone, from unique gifts to everyday essentials. The food market is a highlight, boasting a variety of cuisines and fresh produce, making it perfect for a quick bite or stocking up on artisan goods. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the space is well-maintained, though parking can sometimes be a challenge during peak hours. Overall, it’s a vibrant addition to Stroud’s appeal, perfect for locals and visitors alike. Four stars for its great variety and friendly vibe!
