This is quite a small branch of the chain M & S Simply Food stores, but it seems to have everything…read moreyou would need. The aisles are really clearly labelled and the staff are all really helpful. They always seem to have a lot of deals on, and staff are normally handing out some sort of samples. It only sells purely food and drink, but that's what you expect from a Simply Food store!

Pros This Marks and Spencer Simply Food store is located near the middle of Hertford town centre…read moreand is a fairly large store. The shop stocks a wide range of Marks and Spencer food products, and it's well laid out- I found it very easy to find what I was looking for. Staff are polite and friendly and are more than willing to help when asked- I asked what wine to buy to accompany a meal and was very impressed with the suggestions and knowledge from the store staff. Cons As this is just a Simply Food store, the store doesn't stock any other Marks and Spencer items- which can be frustrating if you really want anything else!

So - first things first - the roundabout to get in here requires just a wee bit of concentration. Most people just blaze through it, and if you have to turn to get in to Morrison's, wait for your opportunity. Once you get inside, you'll pass the comparatively cheap gas station, so fill up and avoid higher prices if you're headed back to central London. The interior of the supermarket itself is very clean, and brightly lit. Feeling famished, I walked along the left aisle and came across Libby in the bakery department. It was late enough in the day that she was putting out half-off stickers on the steak, chicken, and sausage pies, which I happily took advantage of. She also took pity on this lost traveler and walked me down to the beverages, helping me get set up for an impromptu dinner while I drove the hour back to Canary Wharf. Super-friendly staff were also found at the self-checkout area, where I wound up sheepishly apologizing to the customer agent overlooking the consoles, as my US-based credit card required a signature even though it had a chip in it. Genuinely nice staff in a well-stocked supermarket, which led to a dinner on the go for me? Much as I'd have preferred a sit-down lunch/dinner, this ended up working quite nicely for me.

Staff are usually a little despondent and busy, but pretty cheerful despite this and the floor…read morestaff are always willing to lend a hand in finding things, if they know where it is, and if not will redirect you to someone who does. Great sale items but especially enjoy the offers they do. Definitely recommend getting a Match and More card if you're a regular with Morrisons, you can get vouchers if you earn enough points and there's even an app for the iPhone to keep track of your progress. They often have special offers (collect stickers and get freebies) and because they're so undersubscribed they sometimes just give things away (we got given twenty stickers- enough to get a free fancy knife) so I recommend getting involved with those.

Our apartment building shares a ginormous parking lot with Aldi and those bastards hog the whole thing.
