M&S Foodhall

You're after something better than your standard supermarket run, and M&S Foodhall on Edgington Way delivers exactly that. It's the kind of place where you can grab a decent rotisserie chicken, browse the wine selection without feeling judged, and actually find ingredients for something ambitious for dinner. The deli counter's proper busy at lunchtime, but that's because people know what they're after—freshly carved ham, proper cheese, the works. It's not fancy, but it's noticeably better quality than what you'd find round the corner, and that matters when you're cooking for yourself or trying to impress someone.
