Reviews of M&S Simply Food

G. F.

The foodhall here has been refurbished and it is absolutely stunning. Lots of floor space, low units to make it feel bigger, plenty of choice. There are ‘pour your own’ stations, a cheese counter, amazing bakery dept, coffee grinder and the fridges and shelving units have all been updated. I’m so impressed - I love it!

F. G.

I had been there during holydays, it's a well furnished shop, nothing else to say.

Nice store with helpful staff and a good selection of clothes and food, the only downside is that the toilets are closed at the moment which is a shame as most supermarkets have been keeping them open for customer comfort

(Translated) Probably the best spacious and very comfortable grocery store in Edinburgh after refurbishment. A place where you want to come back. Nice interior design and promotion of healthy food and ecology. (Original) Po renowacji chyba najlepszy, przestronny i bardzo wygodny sklep spozywczy w Edinburgh. Miejsce do którego chce się wracać.

First visit for a while. Impressed by space between aisles and selection of gluten free pies including my favourite chicken and leek. Delicious. Super selection of garden plants. Lots of free spaces in car park. Will definitely be back soon.

Good local M&S stocked with the great range of ready meals, fruit and vegetables, drinks, sandwiches and the like. Clean and tidy. Friendly helpful staff. Sometimes the checkout queues are a bit long. The bus stop is right outside and is ideal when you have a lot of shopping to carry home. They have a small car park at the side of the shop. It is a bit tight to get in and out of but convenient.

Well laid out and helpful staff when making an enquiry

Love this store you need more options for Vegans there is not enough choice plant based food is the future.

G. F.

Foods good. If your a 30+ year old wealthy person with 3 kids and a dislike to any other supermarket

J. J.

Good cafe, nice shopping centre, ample parking

v.

Great choice of food here

S.

Allways satisfied with a trip to M&S, products are great and pretty much find most things,

R. W.

Fab selection of super food as ever from M&S

B. M.

Seems to be undergoing a refit so wasn't the usual M&S standards but the staff are as friendly as always.

S. O.

Amazing place superb lay out

S. P.

Lovely shop, has a good range of products but is slightly dearer than others. Quality great to.

J. M.

This is a small food shop in comparison to most but it stocks all the essentials. The bakery section in the back bakes beautifully tasting and smelling goods which draws you towards them. There is a large selection of healthy option food. Vegetarian and vegan options and a large selection of sandwiches and salads for lunch choices. There is a frozen and dairy aisle stocking a great selection including cheeses and yogurts. My favourite thing to buy are the cherry brandy liquor chocolates from the confectionery aisle. There is a large selection of goodies to suit all tastes with the good reputation Marks and Spencer has. The queues move quite quickly for this busy little shop. The smell of the fresh baked goods wraps a warm hug around your heart.

G. S.

Great new setup and now has the ambience of an American supermarket

E. &. R. M.

As usual pleasant and helpful staff. Disappointed with lukewarm pizza in the cafe and poor dated cherries.

C. S.

Hard to be in an M&S foodhall and not buy stuff. Great standard of stock compared to most supermarkets currently. Lots of choice.

M. B.

Lovely new big food hall To many self service tills not enough manned tills.

J.

Great selection of quality products.

J. Y.

New food area excellent.

M. G.

Went to coffee shop for a cuppa. Nice and clean

L. M.

Plenty variety easy to get in and out. Has it all.

D. A.

The new lay out in M&S Foodhall is very spacious.... & has an in store Sushi counter where they make Sushi.... so would recommend a visit 😊

J. R.

No manner tills, just self-checkout which are very poor at scanning. Too small for a bigger shopping: hopeless.

E. M.

When we visited there wasn't a lot of choice in the sandwiches but the staff did try and steer us to other foods

M. H.

Great time to come shopping 17.00 very quiet

A. S.

A very well stocked food hall with a large variety of food flowers and cards

D. T.

High quality food in sophisticated supermarket

C. A. N.

Clean, well stocked, excellent customer service.

D. S.

Gòod selection of food items. Staff always friendly and helpful. Like the look of the new steak pie but only available today as part of the Dine In for £10 offer not as a separate item

S. J. (.

I only popped in very quickly before getting a bus from the stop nearby. I picked up a small bunch of tulips, in excellent condition, for £3, and a ready meal near the front. Checkout assistant was a bit stoic and rushed me. Most unlike the main shop. I would like a proper look round and will review again when I have. I'm not often up that way though. I wish there was 1 near me!

B. G.

I've never met Mark or Spencer, and I probably never will, but I bet they're a nice couple of chaps. I would like to meet them and shake their hands/fist bump them/high five/bump elbows/what ever the congratulatory greeting of the time is as they've made the best ready made lasagne I've ever had. Well done Mark and well done Spencer!

S. G.

A little pricey but good stuff

R. B.

Very welcoming staff who helped with my order collection. A massive chocolate cake!

D. F. S.

You get 5 stars because the baker dude is awesome! Really friendly guy 😁🍪

M. R.

Handy shop, good selection for a small store, and well stocked and tidy. Only criticism was 2 colleagues were too busy chatting behind a till before proceeding to walk away leaving one poor woman to serve a large queue who on her own. Understandably service wasn't great due to this as she was clearly under pressure and people were visably agitated as staff on the shop floor could have assited. If you need to get in and out quickly, Sainsburys a few doors down has Selfscan so probably a better bet

G.

Great food selection

e. w.

Very good variety and good prices

L. M.

Now doubled in size. Not quite finished but should be good when it is.

L. J.

Good M&S food store with all you need for a nice meal and drink. Parking outside and around is difficult, but there are meters nearby where you can leave the car. Staff are very helpful and pleasant.

E. H.

This is the first time I've been here since the extension was completed and I'm very impressed with it. It felt spacious and well- organised.

Y. G.

Love the new M&S foodhall at the Gyle, with its refill stations, coffee grinding station, bakery, chicken rotisserie, sushi counter and excellent range of foods. Loads of self serve checkouts and even mini trolleys for toddlers! A very enjoyable shopping experience! ☺️

Y. P.

A godsend. We were in the hotel opposite and came here every day for breakfast and sandwiches etc.

T. H. W. o. C.

It goes without saying that the M&S standard of food is usually of the highest standard. However, what sets Morningside’s M&S apart are its fantastic staff. Over time, you get to know them by name and their customer service harks back to the days when both shop attendants and shoppers had that courteous rapport. Hannah, Melanie, Dolapo, Maria, Lorna, Patricia, Imogen and many others over the years exemplify a great brand and a concomitantly great service.

H. S.

We found the food to be delicious and excellent value for money. We had two baked potatoes with different fillings, both very good. My carrot cake was to die for and the coffee was lovely. We'll be back.

K. G.

First time I had been in since it was all changed. What a difference, it is so much more bigger, lots more space, very modern and lots more choice of delicious food. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to get my Christmas food this year in the new layout 🤪

S. M.

Fantastically helpful staff. Plenty stock on the shelves.

R. M.

Super shop great range of food pleasant staff. Always busy but well staffed and ample till points. Excellent.

A. D.

Great choice and felt safe. Not too busy

D. M.

Much improved following renovations

J. G.

M&S always get food right, albeit not in cheap range haha. The shop is a wee, nice arranged place that pleases the eye. The worker are nice as well. I can always count for a smile in the till.

C. C.

Great food but for curries seems to be mandatory to have chicken. More vegetarian varieties please. Also triangular rolls? Why is this a thing? Just do standard brown Vienna rolls please.

N. M.

Well presented with lots of choices

J. K.

A nice place to shop for your 'bits'. Not a massive selection compared to a true supermarket, but good quality and convenient. The two dine for a tenner deals are usually well worth it.

R. T.

Best salad food 🧀🥗🥪

P. P.

Befitting the general status of Morningside residents, this midsize Foodhall is well used. It’s unfortunate M&S don’t have more of these type of stores, rather than letting Aldi/Lidl seize the sector. The range of products and items is so much better and creative than the big brand homogeny of the ‘big 4’! In-store bakery, large range of ready meals, and good choice of raw foods. Queues can quickly appear at the bank of tills, but service is paid attention to.

N.

Great choices and fresh produce. Get what you pay for. Since it's make over there's a lot more choice.

A. M.

Very tasty food at really affordable prices. And if you go in at the right time (approaching closing) you can pick up some heavily reduced items such as sandwiches for 30p! x

A. G.

Difficult to find items and many either out of stock or shelves being restricted causing aisle narrowing and problems accessing shelf

P. B.

Great place and great choice

G. L.

Terrific so much choice.

W. C.

Staff were friendly, queue times were non-existent. The fellow customers there leave a lot to be desired (snobs). More fresh produce variety needed.

R. P.

Lovely selection of food and always delicious. Look out for the £10 meal deals with wine included! Tasty and great value

A. R.

It's been given an overhaul, so stuff that sells in London, is imposed here. Small overhead signs indicate what's in an Isle. Not exactly a model of visibility. Do M&S really know what customers in different areas really want? How long it lasts, who knows.

D. E.

Mucher bigger & better than before

w. d.

A nice handy shop. Pretty well stocked for a small M & S and up to the usual standard. Maybe it's stocked for students and OAP's ? of which there are lots in this area !

J. H.

Great for food

T. O.

Great place to shop for food. They have expanded the area and have a very good selection on offer. They also offer click and go, which is great for avoiding the queues. Staff are very friendly, helpful and attentive.

C. D.

Love m&s but don't shop there very often. Good food but not enough for people with severe allergies like me

r. b.

Big store and clean

M. M.

This is a busy store in Morningside with plenty to satisfy any customer. The staff are always friendly and helpful & the tills are always well covered

A. H.

great selection, friendly staff. Very reasnoable prices for good quality foods etc

N. H.

Convenient and well stocked food store, helpful staff and well laid out

K. H.

Good selection of food but loads of plastic packaging and some basics out of stock.

a. g.

Excellent shop in good area bit expensive but can't argue with quality of the food and staff always pleasant

L. S.

good range friendly staff and covid cleansing of trolley or basket carried out by the staff before usage

N. S.

It's ok. Staff were quite rude when I visited. More interested in chatting to each other than helping customers.

m. m.

Clean bright and friendly

D. C.

Really lovely. Not been for a while so didn't know it had been revamped. Very good choices of fresh veg

H. H.

Small but easy to find things, staff friendly and easy to converse with, efficient and happy to help. Would pop here again when in this part of town.

p. s.

Lovely m&s store small but has most things you would ever need...

S.

It's our very fav, dine in for 2 and a bottle of wine. Nice. 😄

D. H.

Bright, breezy and a feeling of space.

A. M.

Good selection of (premium) foods. Staff thoughtful with social distancing and cleaning.

K. G.

A little on the expensive side, but it is mostly own brand, medium quality goods on offer. A nice place to shop for a change, or a treat.

P. B.

Disappointing. Poor stock control! No scotch eggs; no dozen boxes of large eggs and all packets of olive rolls passed the sellby date!

L. H.

Love the range

P. N.

The staff overall are lovely but there is one lovely lady she is always so helpful .keep the local staff

R. T.

I find that locating anything I want to purchase is a challenge.

C. O.

Posting on behalf of my brother to say thanks to all the staff at Edinburgh Morningside simply food who assisted in finding his lost mobile phone including the really professional young lady who noted our details and contacted us to let us know it had been found. Professional really helpful staff, well designed store great quality food
