Morrisons

I will miss the UK so much, but I will not miss this Morrisons. It is always super busy, kids running around knocking things off the shelves, people yelling at each other from different aisles… not a fan. It also takes forever to check out, queues everywhere!
What it does have going for it… it is conveniently located in the centre of town, there is a car park right outside that has been slightly modified to make entering and exiting easier, the shelves are always stocked (unlike some other stores… ahem), and I know where everything is when I need to get in and get out. They don’t change where things are located every week. They have just started carrying some of my favourite things, so I no longer need to trek to other stores for those items. And… their brand of New York Cheesecake (or is it Vanilla Cheesecake… one of those) is really delicious and lovely! It is creamy and has a lovely distinct cheesecake flavour!

I was recently dismayed to discover that Morrisons in Grantham is no longer selling frozen spinach (despite having about 25 varieties of frozen chips!). To me this sums up everything that is wrong with this store. Its variety is lacking and the queues are always horrendous because they never seem to employ enough staff. Compared to another Morrisons store I’ve visited (Camborne in Cambridgeshire), which has a great selection of fresh produce, this could well be a different supermarket altogether! If you want pies, chips and mushy peas (and waiting in a massive queue for the privilege), you’ve come to the right place.

A clean and well run store which includes the same bargain offers as other Morrisons stores across the country! Has a nice selection of homewares and gifts, and a very good deli and bakery. The staff are friendly and helpful, although that queues get very long during lunchtimes and around 5ish. It’s well situated as it is in the Isaac Newton Shopping centre so is useful for small ‘top-​up’ shops as well as a main shop.
