Most definitely my first choice when it comes to groceries. Not just to support a local business,…read morebut due to the quality of the produce, and the customer service too! The Salad Bowl sells fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices, local butter, jams, chutneys, curds, local eggs, and some quality juices. It's a small and traditional shop which you can clearly tell has been there for longer than most of us have been around! Sticking with tradition, the fresh vegetables and fruit are both inside the store and outside on display, but stepping into the modern age, the owners also take photos of their newly available produce and other aspects of the business, and post them on Twitter, to great effect, especially when it comes to making you aware of new things to try, such as "strasberries", white carrots, and purple broccoli. The staff are friendly and pleasant, and have the traditional style of going and picking up the individual items you may want if you ask for them. This is especially good for the elderly and more infirm customers. They are also happy to inform you about their current products, and make any recommendations. They also do veg boxes and fruit boxes of various sizes, allowing you to have a regular delivery to your home of fresh and varied produce, and for a pretty damn good price too! It's also particularly pleasant to be able to try local products, such as locally sourced eggs and locally grown potatoes as well as local butter, which also boosts the feeling of supporting a local business and local life. But to be honest, when the quality and service is this high when shopping locally, I can't see why anyone would rather shop anywhere else, and certainly not at supermarkets! I highly recommend a visit!

I've been in this Butchers on numerous occasions and never thought to leave a review until now,…read moreit's a bit of a legend in these parts! It's centrally located in Horwich, on Winter Hey Lane. They have a massive selection of fresh meats, chicken, Cheeses, Eggs, Bacon etc They also have a great hot meat and pie selection for lunch time. A home made steak pie costs £1.30 and a Hot, Thick cut Roast beef barmcake costs just £2.30! Both these are a must try and apparently you haven't lived until you have had a Greeleys Steak pie. Live a little! The majority of the produce sold comes from the Greeleys home farm, where they breed and rear a lot of their own animals. It does get busy during lunch time, but there are always plenty of staff serving so the queues don't last long. They also cater for outside events where they can provide a full spit roast pig etc! This place deserves a visit and a shout out for consistently being a great local shop, well done guys!

Provenance Food Hall and Restaurant sits on Market Street in Westhoughton, and has always boasted…read morean impressive food hall of local fresh meats, pies, produce and the like, but also has an upstairs restaurant which I've never been to before, so whilst in Westhoughton I thought I'd pop in for some breakfast. The restaurant area is on a first floor mezzanine level, looking down over parts of the food hall like a minstrels gallery. It's decorated in bright and fresh neutral colours, grounded by a natural wooden floor. Light cascades in through sash windows on two walls. Glimpses through cut-outs in the walls show further seating areas, for use in the full restaurant of an evening. I took a menu from the bar and had a read. The breakfast offerings look good, but as I read the menu I realise that the rest of the menu looks superb too! Steak nights, grill nights, Afternoon Teas and all sorts of other tempting things. I already decide before ordering that I must come again to the "proper" restaurant in an evening. I decided to order sourdough toast with whipped butter and marmalade, and a pot of Birchall's English Breakfast Tea, and was told to take a seat anywhere I like and it'd be brought over. I chose to sit by one of the sash windows and look down out over Market Street. Even seated I can see the fine quality finish on everything in this venue; the restaurant is the same quality and fit as the downstairs foodhall, meaning everything is spotless, modern, and pleasant. The staff upstairs seem to be as friendly and helpful as the staff downstairs too. It all feels very professional, whilst still very friendly. I observe other visitors who join after me, a mother and her children enjoying breakfast, some ladies-who-lunch ordering eggs benedict, and two young girls ordering soft drinks. It's nice to see that there's a mix of customers. My breakfast arrives, beautifully presented, but to be honest I wouldn't have expected any less from Provenance from what I've seen. The Fairtrade tea is delicious, and the sourdough toast has a superb crunch to it, the butter and marmalade both being of good quality, meaning you feel a bit spoilt for your breakfast, which can never be a bad thing. It was a very tasty breakfast, and cost less than four quid. Brilliant. Great place, and I can see that the quality and service are priority here, so I look forward to returning to try the evening menu sometime, and was already advised by another staff member to book in advance due to popularity!

The quality of their meat cannot be faulted -- it's completely organic and is wonderful to cook with. Whilst you can buy whatever you want from them at various farmers' markets, they also sell direct to the public -- all you need to do is check their website, ring a mobile number and arrange a time (and a farm) to pick the stuff up. This cuts out the middle-man and is an excellent way of supporting local producers. The family are very friendly and, as I say, I cannot recommend these people enough. Simply outstanding.

Their fruit & veg is always of an excellent quality, they have a range of counters offering everything from cooked meats, pies, a bakery, salad bar and cheese.

It has a very large car park & a petrol station with car wash on site so it's a handy store to have round the corner from where I work.

It's a bit of a naff idea, as at the end of the day we all just go to supermarkets to get our weekly shop and then get the hell out. However, when I popped into this Morrisons, I actually quite enjoyed the difference and the various counters around the store. There's a fishmongers, bakery, deli and even cake shop. It made a nice change to the normal supermarket boredom. The thing I like best about Morrisons is its café. It's always dirt cheap and perfect for a cheap, quick fry-up if you're hungover.

The selection in most areas is fine, and I do like the fact they have Amazon Lockers here which is the one big plus compared to Sainsbury's across the way. The central location makes it easy to access from Bolton town centre, as it is a stone's throw away from the train station and nearby retail park, access as a pedestrian can be a little tricky as it means having to walk the whole length of the road outside, it's a shame they haven't made a cut-through which would be easy to do for any reputable construction company. It was a little hard to find staff members on the shop floor, perhaps this is due to ongoing social distancing guidelines due to COVID-19 as I have begun to notice this more often lately, even at other supermarkets. 3* - OK, worth an upgraded rating.

I like the Booths brand, which is why I visited their store in Chorley, which is much larger than…read moremy store in Manchester, as you'd expect the product range in most cases is better, but I still prefer my local Manchester store as they have some items which aren't sold here (strange as this store is much larger!) and they take more care with the freshness of items. This location is a short walk away from Chorley Station, opposite Market Walk Shopping Centre, with parking close-by. The product range in most cases is pretty good, they seem to focus on great service and high-quality items, they have many counters selling fresh produce so I was able to get some excellent quality meat and cheese, at a good price. They did have another fresh counter selling hot food, however something I found strange was how the jacket potatoes were pre-made with toppings on, they only had one left which had chilli on, obviously as I don't like chilli and this contained gluten, it meant I couldn't have it and it would have gone to waste. Surely if you have to go to a manned hot food counter anyway, having them ready and adding toppings on demand would be much better for both Booths (They can sell more potatoes) and the customer (You can actually get the fillings you want) The Free From selection seemed limited, especially for the size of the store, they didn't have the Findlaters Gluten-Free bread, which is my favourite gluten-free bread, which they stock at their Media City branch in Manchester, they did, however, have the bread rolls/baps, however, after getting home I realised they were past their expiration date so I didn't want to chance eating them, being charged £3.65 for expired food just isn't good enough. No reduced stickers, so the staff weren't even aware they were expiring soon. The meal deals were also misleading, I thought I'd pick up a gluten-free sandwich (Don't bother with them - the bread is hard and inedible!) as well as two snacks and a drink for £4, however it wasn't until I arrived home that I realised my drink wasn't classed as in the meal deal. After speaking to the store, I was told only certain drinks are classed in the meal deal, even though they are all-together anyway - I find this to be rather ridiculous and misleading and ended up costing me £2.20 more than I should have paid. 4* - Despite its' flaws, the staff are great here and the store has a good vibe and a great selection of high-quality foods which can't compare with any other supermarket so it is worth a trip out for, they do need to work on some pretty major problems. They have promised me a refund on my future visit, if this is adhered to I will continue to visit this store which has been in Chorley for over 100 years, although at this location for a shorter period of time.

I will say this . although a little pricey the food does seem to be good quality. And if you want quality then prices will refect that. My biggest hate of the store is their fresh bread. On the side shelfs they sell alot of fresh uncut loafs unwrapped. You pick a paper bag and put the loaf or sticks in the bag yourself. You never know how many people have squeezed the loaf and moved on, or how many people have sneezed on it. No unwrapped bread or rolls for me thanks. My usual Supermarket wrapped fresh loaves.
