I called in this branch of M&S Simply Food located inside Liverpool Lime Street Train Station before travelling back to Manchester Piccadilly after spending a day in Liverpool. This store is a fairly small size, as is most Marks and Spencer Simply Food stores, such as branches closer to me in Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria train stations.
This branch is slightly old-fashioned in parts, and perhaps in need of refurb, in some parts, the store also feels like a tight squeeze to get around.
The staff didn't seem too friendly on my visit, yet the store seemed a little busier, perhaps it could have been down to the time of my visit, being slightly late on a weekday, where staff might be tired from rush-hour and wanting to go home from work, but still this isn't an excuse for service to lack.
The selection was average, it wasn't fantastic but it wasn't bad either.
Due to the overall feel of the store being slightly poor for me, and other issues mentioned I don't feel this store deserves a high rating, but due to the fact of the quality of some products sold here, despite the slightly higher price-tag, it makes it one of the better places to get quick food in the Train Station to take on a train with you, it is also worth noting this is a train station without brands such as Starbucks, with the only main coffee shop being a stand from Caffe Nero, so I feel this store deserves a two-star rating. read more
