Marks & Spencer

This is a small simply food store, adjacent to a petrol station on the Drymen Road. They tend to offer a limited range, usually targeted towards folk liked popping in to buy something for lunch. I’ve always found the staff level coming any helpful.

I really like this branch of Marks & Sparks Simply Foods. There’s no beating around the bush here, the shoppers you’ll find inside are head over heels in love with Markies food and who can blame them?
When I’m visiting my Gran I’ll come here for my fix of Percy Pigs or Percy Pig Fizzy Tails. The best time to shop here is when they have their «two can dine for £10» deal, which is amazing! Last month I got two portions of sea bass with a chilli dressing, a portion of fresh garden salad, two chocolate cheesecakes and a bottle of wine all for £10. What an absolute bargain, it would have come to £17 normally. Boy oh boy was it delcious, I can’t wait till they have this offer on again, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
This store is bright and breezy, always fully stocked and the staff are really friendly too. My mum has a thing for brooches and one of the girls at the check out commented on how much she liked the one she was wearing which definitely made her day.

Mmm, you know you are in a leafy affluent suburb when you spot a Marks and Spencer. Their food is to die for but it isn’t cheap.
Remember those adverts? A smooth voiced woman describing a Marks starter, main and dessert accompanied by images of the food so enticing it made you want to run to the nearest branch and surrender all willpower.
This particularly branch of Simply Food is pretty big and well stocked. However, it isn’t the place to pop in for a quick can of Diet Coke and packet of crisps as Marks and Spencer only stocks their own brand products

Compact but uncluttered, this Mark and Spencer store manages to retain a welcoming, local feel despite being an obvious threat to some of the specialist stores in the traditional high street.
This is largely down to the friendliness of the staff, who are more than happy to help you negotiate what is actually a deceptively wide range of stock. As always, it’s hard to argue with what M&S have to offer — the food is good and the seasonal ranges are always well thought out and interesting.
It does, of course, cost a few bob extra, but somehow I don’t think the locals in Milngavie who shop here will worry too much about that.

This is a branch of the ubiquitious Marks And Sparks which they have chosen to only sell food in. This is a very good idea in this part of the world, as there is a great demand for their high quality own brand products here. There is no denying that their food is delicious but, as usual I would say it is expensive, but I suppose you get what you pay for, as the quality is high and the service is good. My favourite things are the extremely chocolately mini bites, and when they do the eat in for a tenner deal, when you get three things and a bottle of wine for ten pounds– fantastic value. Over all this is not the place to do your weekly shop, but if you have a special occasion or fancy treating yourself, this is the place to come.
