A decent-sized M&S Foodhall, located in Rawtenstall as part of the retail area on New Hall Hey. It's pretty difficult to get to as a pedestrian, but if you're driving there is a large car park which is shared with the other nearby stores, including TK Maxx which is next store.
The product range was fine for a Food Hall, a little limited in some areas.
The store could have been cleaner, they seemed to leave empty warehouse cages blocking part of the store which meant I couldn't view certain sections, I think this is lazy, I pushed one out of the way slightly only for it to keep rolling down the store.
The checkout area was a little messy and the queuing seemed to go down some of the aisles again, this could have been managed better.
3* - The product range is good for a Food Hall if you're in a car and willing to brace a slightly messy store (Not common for a high-end brand like Marks and Spencer), then feel free to visit here, if not you might want to go to a larger and better store such as in Manchester or Burnley. read more
