Marks Spencer - Blackpool

I am at a loss as to how M and S are able to call the 'slither of cake I just paid £3.75p for! It is not, as they describe ' a 'slice '. It really is appalling and is the reason I shall not, as a shareholder and once loyal customer, be visiting again. For goodness sake do not be so stingy-you are driving customers away to competitors. The elderly couple next to me said that these so called 'cost cutting ' measures are driving customers away. Show some respect to your once loyal followers.

Came here for breakfast during our stay in Blackpool and wanted 'smashed avocado, poached eggs and toast, only to be told they haven 't got any avocado. Then I thought, its M and S, surely they have avocados in the supermarket. So afterwards we went looking. Why have them on the menu if you can 't walk around the corner to get them for your customers. Wrong! Poached eggs were over cooked and you can 't really go wrong with taking smoked salmon out of a packet.

My only criticism is it is in the basement so no windows otherwise excellent … it stands out against the mundane Blackpool restaurants I had prawn sandwiches and scone plus a bean main course

14.50 on a weekday afternoon,no hot food available,only toasted teacakes.One stressed gentleman serving,making the hot drinks,running after cutlery,crockery etc.One other staff member trying to clear tables.Not much on display mainly the pre packed ice buns.Felt sorry for the guy behind the counter,not good for him to be under that sort of pressure,the queue continued to form,some people putting things back,rather than wait.Have to say though,hats off to him,as he did give you a smile,bless him.

I should have known better having been dissatisfied on previous visits with the poor service. It's so frustrating seeing individuals working hard whilst others are frankly swanning around. Anyway, whilst waiting for my toasties, I'm occupying myself with writing this review. Lunch time becoming tea time. Zzzzzz
