Booths has been my favourite supermarket ever since my grandmother used to take me shopping there…read morewhen I was young. The stores are nearly always comfortable to be in - and this one in Kendal, although larger than some, is no exception. There's none of the harsh disorienting lighting and confusing garish signs that make me want to turn and run away in the bigger supermarkets. There's plenty of space to move around, it's small enough to find things and the lighting is more of gentle glow here. I like the way Booths sell local products and unusual things that you don't find in the other stores. Plus the checkout staff are usually more chilled out and friendly than in other places - even here in the middle of Kendal. It's not the place to shop for bargains though - more the place to shop for good quality items and to enjoy the experience at a relaxed pace.

The kendal store is compact but has most things you'll ever need, some great luxury foods and a fantastic collection of beers and ales. I particularly like the deli bar and self serve olive counter. Always a bit more pricey than average and not my first choice for the weekly shop, but a nice treat or if you ar feeling lazy and want good food without the hike out of the town.

Some items are half the price of other stores and top quality such as their own brand chocolate, wines, champagne, and meat products. Fresh fruit and veg is higher quality than ASDA and Tesco but only Morrisons or Sainsburys top this but you pay more of a price there. Staff very friendly and THEY HAVE CHECKOUT OPERATORS which many do not now have and letting staff go, whilst keeping prices higher than here they are relying on you to shop then scan all items and pack with a queue waiting and getting annoyed, this is far better here than ASDA and some others and an enjoyable experience not a stress such as at some.

The interior of the shop is very neatly laid out with clear labelling - which makes me feel less awkward that I don't know what a lot of the items actually are (those fancy cuts of meat with paper 'hats' on ?) although I know I should ask. Some of the products are very local - bacon and lamb from the surrounding valleys for example - and are delicious. Service is always efficient if not exactly cheery. My top recommendation is the black pudding - I haven't had one better.
