It won’t be long before they make it their first port of call for all their shopping!-not.
The larger ‘Revives’ have their soups in a large pot which tastes very fresh. Your correspondent and his wife frequently have light snacks in M&S and can particularly recommend their latte.
At Hedge End they have opened a large new restaurant with waitress service which has a wide range of good meals although it is realised this is outside Matt and Cats geographical ambit.
Mind you the prices reflect that extra bit of polish!
Regards

Carrot cake which required a mortgage,crisps with high prices,led me to think that I was in the wrong place.Does it taste better if one pays more for it? McDonalds service with Harrods prices.

It is the same story in Sainsburys and Dunelm Mill. With only 4 people in front of me,I have waited to be served for over 20 minutes in these two places. The staff seem to find it difficult to serve a coffee and a slice of cake without much faffing about. Most odd.
