I could get most of the items I came in for, but it wasn't a huge list. The Cafe is currently closed until January 2021, possibly down to COVID reasons The passage leading from the supermarket to the main road via the car park could be lit much better, it feels like it could possibly be an easy meeting spot for criminals.

This is quite a nice branch of Tesco, located in Handsforth Dean, this is a big branch of Tesco,…read moresituated right next to a huge branch of Marks and Spencer. This store can be quite a nightmare to get to, being situated on a row of 5 or so roundabouts, especially when traveling in direction from North Manchester. This store has a small customer service desk, which is up to satisfactory standard yet could look much more welcoming and more like "the centre of the store" They was a Clubcard Machine, where you can print off vouchers and coupons however it seemed that it didn't work hence I couldn't log on and the problem was experienced by others as well, they was no staff around to know about it or even seem like it is being fixed. This store has a very big free from section, one of the biggest I have seen frozen-wise and helps to put many other branches (especially Middleton) to shame, their range was so big that is is worth traveling for and even includes some items that I can't even buy online at Tesco's website. They was a few disgusting things regarding this store, including an iced coffee, which was drank out of and then put back, drink was still in it, but they was not all of it left and it was open, I am glad I saw this before drinking out of it!!!! This store seems to be over 2 floors and is quite a nice store entering, with a standard Tesco looking including the yellow/ white colour flooring. I want to give this store 3 stars, mainly because of its' free from range and size, however I can't give any more because - The Clubcard machine was faulty - Customer Service could be slightly larger and more welcoming, especially for such a large store - The disgusting incident with the iced coffee - I have not had a good look around this store yet, as I just ran in to check the free from ranges while in the area.

Booths at Hale Barns is right in-between Altrincham town centre and Manchester Airport, it is one…read moreof two Booths stores within Greater Manchester. This location is obviously much larger than the Media City UK store, which doesn't stock as many products. The look and feel of the store is good, it feels different from your regular supermarket and it matches the high-end nature of the brand and area. Getting in and out of the store can be tricky via the car park, it is basically off the main road, next to Costa Coffee and in a small complex with a few other stores. The traffic lights to get onto the main road take several minutes, it's ridiculous making getting in and out of the store difficult. The staff here all seemed super friendly and eager to help, even though I did visit later on in the day. The store closes at 10 pm during the week but in the final few hours they do wind down a bit, I personally think this should be made clearer on their website for example - The cafe closes at 7 pm - this is reasonable as you can still sit in a cafe with a drink from the machine and they do state this on the website However, after around 8 pm they close down the counters with fresh cheese, fish, meat which are some of my favourite parts about Booths - I was especially gutted as my favourite crumbly Lancashire cheese was on offer at 30% off, which already is pretty cheap. The only way I could get my cheese is if I chose one which was already pre-cut, which was an ultra-small or large piece. I had to spend £5.70 just to get enough cheese which was around 1/3 more than I planned to spend coming into the store (that's before considering it was on offer too!) They also shut off the freshly squeezed orange machine, again they left two small bottles available to buy. I don't like how they didn't label this, however, they did turn the machine off but it wasn't obvious so I did try to get the juice out for a minute only to get a member of staff who in turn asked a supervisor to see it had been switched off. They did have some great products especially for gluten-free foods, gluten-free ranges included their sausages, pigs-in-blankets, fresh bread rolls and bread and the MakTok Chilli Paste, as seen on Dragon's Den where the amazing Will went on to get a well-deserved investment with Sara Davies. A high-end store so it is pretty expensive in general, I ended up paying £6 for two packs of sausages, close to £4 for fresh gluten-free bread (still expensive even by gluten-free standards), but on the other hand most of the cheeses were good value and the fresh butchers sausage were much cheaper than the pre-packaged ones, they also had good multi-buy offers on the essentials and more common/budget items including chocolate. A really good store, the overall design and feel of the place is cool and it is probably the best store in the area to get gluten-free products, perhaps on par with Marks and Spencer's larger locations but I really do feel the store's unwinding from 3 hours before closing which even all staff aren't aware of (certainly isn't stated on its' website) is a big down-fall. I can't help but consider the amount of food waste too as many times due to expire including the orange juices (I don't know how long they were there for) were still full price even during this phase. 4*

The leafy suburb bordering Altrincham maybe a mere 20 minute drive from the city centre, but couldn't feel further away if it tried. Driving through it makes you feel like you're in a different realm, with gigantic mansions laced along quiet American sized roads, each one with a unique grand design. Not surprisingly house prices in the region range between £1-6 million. I digress or do I? Booths is a high end supermarket that has only one branch in Manchester (Media city) Majority of their outlets are in affluent areas in Lancashire and Cheshire and that's reflected in their prices. The fruit and vegetable stock is proudly sourced from local farmers and is fresh so prices are justified to a certain extent. Aside from getting bits and bobs from the Deli for lunch I didn't get much. A more detailed review to follow after my next visit. A lovely store which is perfect for a meeting point and coffee also.

Waitrose on Park Lane serves the town centre of Poynton. The store is reasonably clean and tidy, it…read moreis slightly on the high-end side of things price-wise, but there were some good offers available on my recent visit to store. The car park appears to be shared by the Civic Hall and includes a doctor's surgery, but you do get two hours of free parking which is surely enough to do your shopping. The store is a decent size, and the checkout staff were friendly. I had some issues scanning my gift card at the self-checkout due to the sunlight reflection making it difficult for me to read the screen, and the screen to read the product barcodes, but a staff member noticed the kerfuffle I was facing and offered assistance, without me having to ask him. The store was reasonably well stocked, but I was unable to find the Waitrose Free From crumpets that I had come in for. The store layout could do with some work, as the coffee on offer appeared to be separate from the rest of the coffee section, which made little sense, as it was in a different area of the store. PRO TIP: Bring your reusable cup and get a free coffee with a MyWaitrose card 3* - A decent supermarket, with many positives for sure including the staff but far from perfect, it would also be useful for the store to have evening openings past 20:00 during the week.

The store was fine, although there are better ASDA stores nearby, the product selection was OK for a store of its' size, and I was able to pick up most of the few items I needed. Scan & Go Mobile is available in this store, where you can scan and bag items as you shop, I do think it is really difficult to pay here compared to other supermarkets as you can only go to one specific self-service checkout, which is on the end and mixed in with the others, this is the first ASDA location which does not either have a specific section or the technology added on to all self-service machines, I think it makes little sense to not signpost it, which leads to confusion, especially as there is no area to queue if you want this machine only. The staff seemed more annoying than helpful, after I found out where the machine was, the employee seemed eager to assist me, even though I told her I was fine and didn't require assistance, as I struggled to scan my barcode, she typed it in, she seemed to be doing it really slowly to waste time, and pressed the wrong button to delete everything to start again, she even touched my phone as the screen began to dim, without permission, which I didn't find to be appropriate, especially considering I didn't require help in the first place... someone should play her Raylee's entry into Melodi Grand Prix... "I don't need a hero" There was a pharmacy but this just seemed to get in the way, there were some warehouse/unloading cages around the store which also were an inconvenience, but this certainly wasn't as bad as many other stores nearby within the town centre. 3* - Pretty average ASDA, there are better stores nearby but with this being the only major supermarket in Wythenshawe town centre, a town of over 100,000 people, it is useful.

While the product selection was good, I did find the free-from section to be a little lacking and I couldn't find all the items I was visiting for. The store, however, was clean and the staff seemed friendly, the checkout experience was pretty smooth and hassle-free. Great if you're in a hurry as this is in a good location within Macclesfield town centre, but obviously you can't do a full shop here so if you're buying many items you might want to go to the nearby Tesco Superstore. 3*
