We were given 15 minutes to shop at the Tesco in York for alcohol. We went in and made our way to…read morethe aisle. I didn't have time to browse but the place was gigantic. I can see why they are one of the biggest grocery chains in the UK. The alcohol aisle boasted beers, spirits, and wines from different parts of the world. The prices seemed reasonable so I bought some canned mixed drinks since we weren't supposed to bring glass into the New Years Eve party in Edinburgh. The registers are plentiful and I wasn't carded. Granted the drinking age is 18, so there was nothing to worry about. Our tour manager later confessed that it was fun to watch us all scramble and that 15 minutes was an unreasonable amount of time for us to shop. Noted. Thanks a lot.

This Tesco store is generally well laid out. It has a reasonably sized clothing department upstairs…read morewhich has some great clothes at fantastic prices, particularly shoes and kids clothes. In the main part of the store, as well as the main food and drink aisles, there are departments for books and magazines, homeware, kitchen appliances and other electrical equipment and seasonal sales. If you can get in at the right time, you can pick up some good bargains, however, it takes a while to work out what the special times of the day are! Don't park in the carpark and go to the college as you'll be fined £75!

Good value for money on frozen food with a large selection on offer ranging from chips to curry's!…read more They also sell bread, condiments, drinks, confectionary and alcohol. If you spend over 25 they also offer free delivery where thyey deliver within 2 hour slots - miles cheaper then online shopping at ASDA or Tesco!

M & S in Pontefract is mainly a food store, with just a bit of clothing etc at the back. But it's…read morethe food I like, so I think it's perfect :) The staff are always really helpful and there are always lots of tills open, so I have rarely had to wait long to be served. The shelves are usually well stocked and the food is well worth the few extra pennies - especially the Rhubabrb crumble which I think I might well be adicted to!!!

This is only a very small branch of M&S, so mainly sells food, with a few items of clothing, mainly…read moreunderwear IIRC. Still, it's nicely presented and is good if you live locally, as Pontefract is only a small town so it's great to have some of the better known shops that you can pop into. I like M&S Food, especially since I heard that all their meat and egg products are animal welfare friendly now. I hope that is correct, as it makes me more inclined to buy food there, even though it is more expensive.

A nice Marks and Spencer store in Doncaster, while the store or product range can not compare to…read moretheir larger stores in larger cities, they still had a good selection of products in the Food Hall of most products you would expect to find in a Marks and Spencer store. I did find the checkout area to be a little tight, compact and messy, although the staff did seem pretty friendly. The Scan and Go app where the customer can use their phone to scan and bag their shopping as they shop around the store, and then pay, seemed to work well here. The staff around the store seemed friendly and helped me find a reusable bag when required. I do find the opening hours of the store to be very limited, especially considering, the branch is not located inside a physical shopping centre (It is located opposite the shopping mall), so the fact they close at 17:30 during the week is very disappointing, this is even earlier than Sainsbury's! The facilities inside the store are again limited compared to larger towns/cities, with no car parking or toilets. 3* - A nice store for a small town like Doncaster, yet not without its' flaws.

This is quite a small M&S branch, but always neat and tidy and they hold quite a good range of…read morestock considering the compact size. They've got a lovely selection of food on the ground floor and although it is rather pricey the food is lovely and it's pretty-much the only 'upmarket' supermarket in Doncaster. One of these shops where the staff really do seem to be interested and care about helping you - my 5* rating is based on that more than anything else. I was looking for something in a different size recently, and rather than the usual 'everything we've got is out' that you get in most places, 2 people bent over backwards to find me something else suitable - you don't get that sort of attention every day!

This is mainly a food store with a small section devoted to non-food items. There's a small…read moreclothing section, audio-visual (TVs DVD players etc) and CDs, DVDs, computer games, books etc. There's also homeware and cookware and some computer supplies. The range in these latter departments is small and somwhat restricted. If you want a bigger range you should visit either the Hall Road, Hull store or, if you want the full monty, the newish branch in St Stephen's in the centre of Hull. I think it's generally fairly pricey on the food front. I'd recommend Morrisons if you are counting the pennies and own a car. The fruit and veg can be very hit and miss in terms of ripeness and quality. Stocks can also get rather low sometimes. The bakery is OK but again it's getting very expensive.
