More Expensive Than Their Main Branches 4th September 2008

Marks and Spencers seemed to jump onto the bandwagon after Tesco Metros and Expresses to try and take on the local convenience store market with their smaller local stores that specialise only in Marks and Spencer’s food, hence the name.
The items they sell are a more limited edition of what you would find in the food sections of their larger stores and seemed to be mainly aimed at the quick meal type market or lunchtime food type articles. It is not really the place to go if you were doing a full weekly shop but it is ideal if you just wanted a few items or to grab some lunch or a quick meal.
A further point to note is that even though they sell the same items as they would in their main stores, the prices of the items in these sub braches is slightly more than those found in the main branches.

marks and spencers food halls is my favourite place in any normal m&s store, so a sote devoted to it is great. they stock every single ready meal - all the healthy ones and the pub gastro ones! i haven't managed to get the meal for a tenner from here yet but you have to get there early for that i have heard. i bought a lovely packet of sirlon steak in crushed black peppers with a diane sauce last week which was fabulous. there is a simpley massive selection of desserts, recenty i tried a lemon souffle which was yummy. m&s food is the only pre made food i have had which tastes like its just been homemade. if i could afford it i'd pop in hear to get my dinner every night!
