This Morrisons store is fairly new to York and is located on Foss Islands road…read more Morrisons offers what you would expect from a large supermarket chain - but it is a little different. Morrisons 'market place' is a unique set out for a supermarket and you can find fresh fruit and veg along side a fish monger and butchers where just like the advert shows you, the staff will be more than happy to talk you through whatever cut of meat you require or even fillet your fish for you. There is also a bakery and rotisserie offering yummy treats such as pork pies and sausage rolls as well as hot roast chickens. Another good point worth mentioning about Morrisons is that they do from time to time do brilliant offers. It's worth looking out for them on the internet or in your local paper.

A new Morrisons supermarket between Foss Islands Road and James street near to the centre of the…read morecity of York. It is large enough to have a full range of goods that you would expect of Morrisons and is conveniently located for York city centre. Being brand new it is also clean and specious, There is also a large car park with petrol station and car wash available. Petrol & Diesel is usually the cheapest in York as Morrison's always seem to be the first retailer to announce price changes. This store is also on the same site as a large Homebase store and Frankie & Benny's restaurant!

This is a great Waitrose. The coffee machine is good and the cafe is a really nice place for…read moremeeting friends. The shop is well stocked and laid out with fresh counted for fish, meat, cheese and cakes. They have an excellent wine section with a specialist roaming around nearby :) As a regular I have come to know the people that work there so it makes the experience all the more enjoyable. The quick pay service and the free newspaper for myWaitrose members is an added bonus. I go shopping on my motorbike so it helps that I can pack my rucksack and saddle bags as I go rather than all at the end of my shop at the checkout. Enjoy :)

At long last York has it's very own Chinese supermarket!…read more Before chi yip opened, I had to trek all the way to Leeds city centre to stock up on all my essential Chinese cookery ingredients! There is a wide range of exotic looking fruit and veg at chi yip, some you won't recognise, some you will! you can also pick up lovely stir fry essentials such as delicious pak choi. The freezer cabinets have a wide range of precooked dim sums that you can take home and cook yourself (usually steam or deep fry) As well as frozen meat and fish. You can also buy sacks of rice, it's much cheaper to buy like this if you have room to store it!! There is a good selection of canned and jarred goods, some really interesting items, quite a number of them I've never heard of, but many that I have and would love to have a go cooking with! I would say if your new to Chinese cookery, but want to be experimental than have a recipe in mind and take the list of ingredients with you, otherwise you might get a bit over whelmed at how much 'stuff' there actually is! Last but not least is the fish and meat counter, where there is a member of staff on hand to serve you - there is also tanks of live crabs and lobster so you can literally choose which poor creature you want to take home and cook

Sainsburys Monks Cross York is a large supermarket that was renovated a few years ago…read more Like most other supermarkets seem to, Sainsburys now do not only food but they have their own range of clothing, (TU). They also have for sale stationary, cd's, dvd's computer games and books. From time to time they also get great value electrical items such as telly's and DVD players, they don't always have them, but when they're in stock they're worth a look. The kids clothes are brilliant, inexpensive and good quality. The adults clothes are a bit hit and miss thought, but still worth a look. The food at sainsburys is much the same as other supermarkets as far as branded items go, but they do there own range of food which I've always found to be of a high quality and would recommend it, in particular there baked in store bread! Sainsburys cafe is worth a look too, meals ranging from salads, sandwiches and soups to fish/pie and chips. They also do a stonkingly good Breakfast and it's the perfect hangover cure!

If I could give 6 out of 5 I would!…read moreIts rare to find a good Sandwich place that does top quality food and more importantly packs it full and not just a little squashed sandwich you would normally get from Greggs etc Keep up the good work and don't let your sandwiches down size no matter what you do because big is better!

The best sandwich shop I have ever been too!…read more Incredible range of fillings and bread. All made from top quality local produce. The shop also contains an extensive deli. It has to be visited to be believed. Some of my personal favourites: Toasted bagel with French peppered salami, Brie de Meaux, Meaux mustard and Mayo Hot Paninni with Chicken, chilli dream sauce, mozzarella and mayo Hot New Yorker: Turkey, pastrami, corned beef, emmental, mayo and gherkin

Billed as 'Probably the best sandwiches in the world' it is anything but…read more There is a decent range on offer however 90% of the sandwiches are drowned in mayonnaise with scraped shredded meat. Its often hard to identify which meat is being used. The prices are also high for what is on offer. They are capitalising on the fact there is little alternative in the area.

I'd have to say that other reviews of this place on Qype have been rather unfair…read more Yes, the service isn't great. A lot of them can be moody/distracted by a phone call, but it doesn't really matter in a sandwich shop does it? I mean, it isn't excusable, but as Vurt says in his review below "there is little alternative in the area". It is with this lack of alternative in mind that I'd advise, against the other reviews on Qype, to eat here. There is something refreshing about seeing the owner's varied sandwiches. Yes, some of them are bad, but if you keep a logical approach to which ones you think will be good (i.e. avoid mayo heavy sandwiches or boring, err towards the unusual fillings) then Browns is fantastic. The thing that is key, and I must emphasise this, is that you must arrive between about 11am-12.30pm. It is at this time that the more unusual sandwiches are on sale. With examples being Duck Pate and Bree, or Nacho and Mexican Cheese. Technically the sandwiches are on sale from something like 11am-4pm, but if you get there after 12.30pm, 1pm on a quiet day, all the sandwiches worth the £2.50 are gone, leaving you to look like a wally, wandering in endless circles around the sandwich counter seeing if maybe the eighth time you go around a new batch of Mediterranean Veg sandwiches will have magically appeared. They also sell some essentials like bread and milk but I've never paid enough attention to this to know if it's good value or not. If I was the shop owner I'd just give up on this side of things and focus on your reputation as a sandwich shop. If you like, what I would, in an elitist tone, call "boring sandwiches" such as ham and cheese, or egg and cress, this isn't the place for you. If you can be bothered making the journey go to Mr £andwich on The Shambles where you will get something similar for £1. Parking: All over Main Street in Heslington, but people from all over the East/South side of York flock here to buy lunch, so parking in The Charles XII or Deramore pubs is also an option if it's busy (if it isn't busy you aren't there at the right time). Overall: Expensive, odd sandwiches which can be amazing, poor service
