It is fabulous, it is a shame that the other reviewer got nothing more from the experience than a packet of out of date biscuits, which although wrong if true is surprising based on what the place is like and the astounding range of foods in there. No good for Chinese or Thai ingredients but that is already well catered for here... really recommend, excellent butcher and with fresh bread being baked and sold in there it really is worth a look

The store could have been cleaner and free of obstruction, the warehouse cages left in the middle of the store, made already narrow aisles much worse. 3* - Decent location if you're in a hurry, much better options nearby if you have time on your hands.

Spar has recently moved from a nearby location to the corner of Dale Street (where there once lay a…read moreHSBC). This Spar definitely has the most futuristic look about it with its glossy, glass-panelled and chrome finish on the exterior. I don't often shop at Spar because prices are generally expensive compared to competitive stores and of course it isn't really the place you'd go to do your weekly shopping; it's more of an emergency shop for locals and business folks nearby. Spar is located in a prime location for office workers in the area and has ideal products for people on-the-go. This makes it a great place to grab a quick lunch and newspaper or magazine. Let's say that this is your super mini-mart!

I think its open from 7am til late. There is also a cash machine in store too but it charges £1.50 for withdrawals.

I called in this branch of M&S Simply Food located inside Liverpool Lime Street Train Station…read morebefore 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.

It's a pleasant change from a boots meal deal if you're looking for lunch as there is a better selection here and the food is much better quality. They sell a range of sandwiches, baguettes and pastas in their lunch section, along with a range of M and S crisps and drinks. They also have part of the shop devoted to tea time meals and often have deals on. As I said, it's perfect if you've got off the train and can't be bothered cooking anything from fresh when you get home, as it's all here. The prices are slightly over average for what you'd pay in a supermarket, but this is reflected in the quality of the food. The shop always has a few tills open to avoid queues for those that are rushing to catch a train.

The store is situated in an ideal place for people from afar, who want to but a few items before or after their meal at Tai Pan or whether it's just for a weekend shop. They are always well stocked with products and have a huge wholesale section at the rear of the building for larger purchases. Staff who are Chinese and British will be on hand to help and advise you of your needs; they will search for an item, especially if it is large and heavy and bring it to you. There is usually someone who helps pack your bags at the check-out too. If you're looking to cook up a treat and try something out of your borders, then you will find a wide variety of foods here whether fresh, frozen, canned or dried. On a weekend, they usually have portions of freshly hot cooked roast duck (laid out near the tills) with an aroma that will certainly tempt you!

This branch of Sainsbury's is styled as Sainsbury's Local store, located in Liverpool Central on…read moreRanelagh Street, it is probably one of the best places in the Liverpool Central station to get some essentials for your journey or to take home, odds are if you're at Liverpool Central station you would be heading home as it is mainly used for Merseyrail services in the local Merseyside area. The store inside isn't as modern as other Sainsbury's Local stores in city centres or even railway stations (compare to Manchester Piccadilly), but it gets the job done... well sort of. Selection of most items was small, especially the Free From section which was pretty much non-existent. Staff around the store didn't seem too helpful, I was told they didn't have a particular item, they didn't make as much effort as other stores have in the past to help me find it, taking one glance and just saying no, which was disappointing on both levels of service and stock. Location wise it is convenient if you are getting the train to get something for your journey or to take home, while not being the nicest convenience store in terms of overall feel and stock apart from that, considering service factors too which let the store down, I feel only a two-star rating saves it, which is mainly for providing a basic level of services to serve Liverpool Central station.

If you are like me living in the moment, or as some would say the last minute, then the opportunity to fuel up right now or buy your evening meal on the way home can be fundamental to your function. What is really good in Central Station Sainsburys is the surprising range of fresh food which amongst the fast food options give you a real choice to be healthy and cook up your evening repast from scratch. When I am feeling a bit inspired I will do just that with my favourite feasts. I confess there are times when the comfort of convenience food is just too tempting and a microwave cannelloni and a prepared salad is about as adventurous as I can manage. There are many manifestations of convenience and we all recognize that if we were perfect people with a thought and a plan perhaps stops like a Sainsburys at a station would have short and inglorious lives. Good news for Sainsburys though that, for me at least, no such carefully thought out planning has yet emerged.

If I had to compare this to a store in the U.S., it's definitely a Super Target. There's a clothing section, as well as household, office, and seasonal items in stock now. You would be in trouble if you're not able to control yourself with impulse buying. They offer the convenience of Scan, Shop & Pay, so you can scan items and pay for them as you shop. You'd need to check out one of the scanners in the front of the store, and probably download the app on your phone. Another feature offered here is the Click + Collect option (think Target Drive-Up). The store and car park are very well kept up. They are well lit and clean. I didn't see any shopping carts stranded in anywhere. The employees are friendly and helpful. You can bring in your own reusable bags, or purchase theirs at 30p ($.38) each. I highly recommend coming here for all of your grocery and miscellaneous needs. Locals can also sign up to be a rewards member for extra savings. Be extra and get your shop on at Tesco Extra!!

There is always an excellent mix of stall here selling produce such as sweets, plants, coffee, cheeses, specialist sausages, specialist meats, beers, smoothies, cakes, black & white pudding and much much more. Many of the stalls have free samples to try and the smell that emits from the market is delicious. The produce on sale is often more expensive than you would find in supermarkets but this is to be expected. The produce is of an excellent quality and you wont find many of the specialist items in supermarkets at all. This is a great addition to the Lark Lane community.

Drinkers mill about with students - presuming there's a difference between the two - and "dedicated followers of fashion". What a perfect place for a farmers market. This market, held on the last Saturday of every month, is bigger than its counterpart in Woolton Village, although it does suffer slightly in comparison as half of it is on the edge of busy Aigburth road. A great plant stall selling lovely and unusual bushes at very decent prices greets those who enter the market from Lark Lane. The kind of stall Woolton is missing out on. There's myriad cake and bakery stalls selling pasties, pies, pastries and bread and the ever present Savin Hill Farm meat stall, which sells sausages presumably butchered in Heaven. Last time I went, today (28 August), there was a fantastic flower stall with some of the sunniest sunflower bouquets I've ever seen for a mere £3. A very good place to visit every now and again, but it rarely changes, which is a shame.
