M&S Food
I’ve always liked M&S food, but have only shopped there occasionally due to logistics and cost for a family of 5.
However, a new M&S store with food hall has recently opened nearby and we popped there today to get some bits for a nice cold ready to eat meal for the two of us. Everything was delicious and worth the little extra cost. I know some say that their food is produced at the same factory as other supermarkets etc, but I can honestly say, we could taste the difference to Tesco and Sainsbury’s where we usually shop. Anyone else think there’s a difference? I know Mr T shops there too and rates their food 👍 |
Totally agree, M&S food is superior and we shop there for special occasion meals
|
I agree, and they always seem to come up with new ideas for dinners which I love, our local store has a fresh sushi bar which we had as a treat for dinner tonight, it was delicious
|
Someone mentioned me! We shop there every week but I’m a bone idle cook so use a lot of their prepared stuff. Always good quality and not as expensive as people think.
For some reason we have seen our bills drop a bit and they are circa £52 a week now whereas they were a lot more. That doesn’t include any booze mind. |
I love their ready made pastas, the prawn one and mushroom one are delicious. Dh loves all their cakes and buys all sorts in there, I can’t think of anything I don’t like. Dh got £75 marks voucher for Christmas and we spent it on food! :D

M&S food is defiantly superior to say Waitrose or Sainsbury
AS I have said before I worked in a pea processing paint (many years ago as a student ) and M&S we’re the only company to order the top grade peas and even thou processed in same factory they employed double the people on the pea belt. I worked in the lab and to grade AAA peas was rare - M&S had the lot no matter how many or few. My friends family also own a bakery that makes Battenberg and she said the recipe for M&S is different from all the others (and she only buys food from thier food halls) |
We shop more at M&S these days than anywhere..I think the quality is way better,to be honest just being the 2 of us I don't really think their pricing is too bad.

However the biggest mistake Marksys made was ditching Avana Bakeries in Cardiff as their cake supplier. They are still good but not like they were. I can still taste that Walnut cake. :) |
I absolutely love M&S food, and being able to shop there regularly is one thing I really miss about living in the UK!
I'm not sure about tasting the difference but I remember almost always getting perfect fruit from M&S (compared to Sainsbury's/Tesco) - pears were always juicy and clementines were never sour! (We have M&S where I am, but at a ridiculous markup, so I only get to buy it as a treat these days... As an example one of those tubs of chocolate cornflake clusters sells for more than £6 here, or two for a bit over £10! And a bag of milk chocolatey caramels are about £2.50. Don't get me started on the seasonal things that appear around Christmas! I really love browsing the M&S food hall though...) |
Last few weeks we've had some nice freebies from our Sparks card😋
