Advantages: Great fresh food!!

Disadvantages: Some things are a little more expensive than other supermarkets!

Booths is a Supermarket which are in the North West of England. There are 27 stores across the North West, varying in size, but mainly in the Lancashire area, but there is a large "extra" style shop in Knutsford England.

We have always used Booths shops since I was tiny, we didn't have any near where we lived in Widnes (we didn't know about the one in Knutsford back then!), but we had a touring caravan which was situated on a Lancaster camping site, and we used to go there most weekends and holidays for a little break, and there were two in the vicinity which we used alot, and over the years we have used them more and more, especially when we moved to Lancaster 4 years ago, and Booths is the closest shop.

Booths is a "local" shop, they sell lots of locally made produce i.e. meat, milk, eggs, veg. Some things which you get from there are more expensive than the likes of Asda, Tesco and Sainsburys, but the quality is very high!

The small(ish) shop in Lancaster has a Deli Counter, Cheese counter, fresh meat counter, very large selection of fruit and veg, a gorgeous selection of seasonal gifts, as well as the ordinary frozen foods, breads, alcohol. They also sell newspapers and magazines. Unlike some "small" supermarkets you can get everything you want from Booths. The only things which are scarce in there are cosmetics and hair care!

As I said Booths is a little more expensive than "normal" supermarkets, but that is because their "own brand" food is probably a higher quality than the big brands!!!! So they don't really have a "Smart Price" kind of selection, which if your on a budget means your weekly shop would be higher, but when your getting such amazing quality you can't really complain! :-)

As well as the food, the quality of service which we have always received in Booths has been excellent. The staff are always helpful and polite, and of varying age (some supermarkets tend to have all 16 year old workers who don't even give you a second look nevermind customer service!). EVen the trolly men in Booths always have a huge smile on their face and are more than helpful all of the time!!!

I definitely recommend Booths especially for fresh food! :-D

Summary: A great Supermarket, only in North West though!!
