I've never really shopped for food at M & S before as my memories of it from when I last visited a standard M & S branch several years ago is of lots of highly priced ready meals. Anyway, as I was passing this one today I thought I'd check it out to see whether anything has changed. There certainly are still lots of ready meals to choose from but I was impressed by the range and obvious quality of the other stock. It's a bit of a cliche that 'M & S food is expensive but it's good' and there's no doubt that it won't be attracting your average Aldi shopper, sorry Aldi shoppers! ;-) Nevertheless there were some relative bargains to be found alongside some real top drawer produce for those occasional treats or that special dinner party. A good range of everyday groceries too and it was certainly doing a brisk trade for a Wednesday morning in March. I suppose its main drawback is the lack of parking close by so if you bought a lot you could end up with a lengthy walk back to your car loaded down with bags. read more
