Marks and Spencers Foodhall

As the category indicates this review will focus on my opinion of the food and products available in Marks and Spencer Foodhalls. I have already added a couple of reviews on the site regarding my opinions on the supermarkets I frequently shop at. Budget constraints determine where I shop at in general, however if my budget would stretch that far Marks and Spencer would be the ONLY place I did my food shopping in... Im sure youve seen the television adverts which demonstrate M&S food, the chocolate gooey puddings, the meal deals that they have on offer etc. I shop at Marks and Spencer when I want to get quality products that always taste great; ...  Read the complete review

Marks and Spencers food, for want of a better word, is yummy! However, it is quite expensive and for most people I don't think its plausible to be able to do your weekly shop there - as much as we'd all like to! I however do pop in there every other week to pick up a few bits and pieces to complement the main shop in the likes of Tescos or Sainsburys. Up until a few years ago Marks and Spencers foodhalls were found inside the Marks and Spencers stores - and they still are - but now they actually have Marks and Spencers Simply Food stores on some high streets which only sell the food. One opened up a year ago in my town actually and so I am now buying more ...  Read the complete review

M&S Food used to be restricted to the M&S Foodhalls at the back of the stores but recently they have begun to open up more and more of their M&S Food stores with one recently opened near my flat. The food on offer in M&S Food ranges from the simple to the exotic and includes a variety of ready meals (gastro pub, indian, chinese, etc), meats and fish, cheeses, desserts, chocolates, sweets, crisps, alcohol and soft drinks. The stores are well laid out and normally have well stocked shelves along with friendly and helpful staff on hand. The local store I use is always kept clean and well maintained and has enough tills so as not to have huge ...  Read the complete review

Marks and Spencers has always been known for their excellent quality and having shopped there recently, I can safely say, it's still there! Unlike other supermarkets, all of Marks and Spencers food is of a premium quality and the price reflects this, but you really do get what you pay for in this instance. Most of M+S's meal's are essentially ready meals for people who want great food/taste but haven't got the time to do their own recipes etc. The term ready meals is actually not the best way to describe them, as these meals are in a league of their own. They don't come ready cooked, rather ready 'put-togethor' for instance, I recently bought some chicken ...  Read the complete review

M&S certainly have a reputation for having the best food around. And for the prices they charge I should think so. Most of the food in M&S seems to be prepackaged and usually just needs popped in the oven or microwave. They do sell fresh veg, fruit, meat etc but the ready meals do kind of dominate the aisles. I use the term ready meal rather loosely here as there is a marked difference between the ready meals you find in the local Tesco compared to that which you find in here. The food here is almost always of a higher quality. I like that they do try and create different combinations of flavours along with their more classic meals. The ...  Read the complete review
