Shopping in M&S is a treat as they have excellent quality food & you can try new things safe in the knowledge that the quality will be good. In recent recessionary times M&S are putting on some good deals. I recently bought a pack of fresh burgers for €5 for 8 which was excellent value & there dine in for 2 deal is brilliant. Keep it up!

M&S meals are a godsend when working late. Good quality, tasty food. The €12.50 meal deal is a great idea to capture new customers, who thought perhaps that the food was too expensive. I don’t feel guilty buying M&S ready meals - I trust M&S above any other supermarket.

M&S cookies, their selection of disturbingly low-priced delicious wines, the meal deals, seasonal gifts (My mum loved the orchid I got her form m&s on mother’s day!), the percy pigs sweets, the desserts (guaranteed always delicious….yuuuuuum), and the general variety of fancy foods at low prices, with all the nutritional info printed in plain sight. Also, the low-fat humous!

If the food they sell pre-prepared is anything to go by I can’t wait to try the food they serve up fresh!

-And a rooftop terrace no less, what’s not to love?

I tried the Dine In meal the last weekend it was on for the first time - I don’t think it quite lived up to the hype (particularly the side - the selection wasn’t great in the store that I was in and none of the vegetables seemed particularly fresh… but I’m not a fan of pre-chopped veg anyway), though the wine and dessert were delicious. That said, I’ll be happy to try it again with another main and side to se how it compares. I would only go into M&S the odd time in general - the food is quite nice, but often to my mind still a bit overpriced compared to what can be gotten (or made) to the same quality for cheaper elsewhere.

Love M&S food. They are conscious of trans-fats and salt levels so their ready meals probably the best standard around. I don’t think they’re as expensive as people say. They have very good offers, such as 3 for 2 or their dine in meal. The selection of wines, cheese and biscuits are divine. Also great for kids treats at Christmas and Easter.

The food choice and quality is good, with the exception of fish, which should be sourced more locally and not from UK. The layout and visible display of food types is generally poor across all M&S stores, and the layout is changed very regularly resulting in regular shoppers trapesing around the stores looking for produce Food categories should be clearly posted near ceiling levels for easy access.

While prices may be dearer you’re always guaranteed a quality product when you shop at M&S. Their €12.50 meal deal has made the current economic climate a little easier to bear for many of us.

And for those of you who haven’t yet tasted their white chocolate cookies KEEP AWAY - they are fantistically addictive!

Moved back to Kerry from Cork 4 years ago and had serious withdrawal from M & S food which was too bad as I could never hardly afford it while I had access to it as I was too broke! To my delight, about a year ago M & S opened in Killarney around 25 miles away, I reckon its worth the trip for the delicious food. I also reckon it would be worth the trip to Dublin to check out the new restauraunt!

Food from M&S is generally guilt-free goodness….the price makes it pleasant to the pocket and the ingredients not just healthy but inspired. It’s a chance to try something you could never make yourself and because M&S do the hard work you save not just money but time - something so precious in these pressured days. If it is a Gastropub style Moussaka or an old style fruit cobbler you only have time for your mouth to water while you wait for the oven to ping.
As any guy will tell you, it is food for the folk who cannot cook, and for those of us who just need a night off.
Now what I need is a night out so how about it?

Sure M&S is great. I love going in there to have a ramble around and something always takes my fancy when I’m in there. The last great thing I tasted was their New York deli sandwich. It had lovely pastrami, gherkin, sauerkraut and mustard in it. It tasted just like the real deal.

I go there every week in particular to buy fruit because its much tastier than any other supermarket - at the moment their blueberries, cherries and nectarines are fantastic. Usually splash out a a few ready meals and some of their freshly baked cookies when i’m in there as well.

oh my god, i am famous amongst family and friends for my obsession with m&s. despite being a poor student and young mother i shop in there a lot.

i actually find m&s much better value than other supermarkets despite what people say - they constantly have fantastic offers and the food is good quality, nothing gets thrown away. look out for their wisebuys!

their meatball soup was my main fuel throughout my final degree year. the fruit is impressive, the spicy tomato topped hummous divine, the sicillian lemon cheesecake my daughter’s favourite, coquilles st jacques are my treat, but the best is their prosecco raboso.

i prefer to spend a little extra to shop somewhere for my daughter where i know the food will not contain artificial flavours, colours, hydrogenated fats, ridiculous levels of salt, battery eggs etc. i heart m&s :)

My daughter first brought M & S meal deals to my attention last year she would buy them every time she was in town the chicken with roasted vegetables were excellent and it started her doing a little cooking she became a dab hand at roasted veg. I particularly loved the Valentine’s Day meal with the rose and pink bubbly. I think M & S were the innovators of Meal Deals which others have copied but not equalled. Well Dome M & S.

M&S initially came to my intention with their €2.75 drink + Sandwith + Crisps deal; all which I thought was unusually high quality, and got me into their store.

After that, it because pretty apparent that pricewise they were on par with Dunnes/Tescos in a lot of cases, but their food was always higher quality.

The difference between a Tesco and M&S mealdeal in my opinion is as follows:

Tesco “Eh. At least it was cheap.”
M&S “Holy crap. I need to learn how to cook this.”

You can always rely on M & S for quality and value. Their customer service is also excellent as my recent experience demonstrates.

They apologised and when we went to pay they said that our entire lunch was on the house!!

M&S were the original and best when it comes to the ‘meal deal’ offers. After you’ve tried one of M&S’s offers, you’ll never want to try the inferior fare that the other supermarkets offer. True, M&S costs a bit more, but you get FAR more in quality. It’s almost as good as eating out…better in fact, when you don’t need to leave the comfort of your own home!

There was actually loads of food for all of us (although I did keep the rose for myself) and it was really fun. Non-conventional for Valentine’s Day but delicious and very enjoyable!

However I will have to try M&S `Dining Out` in their Rooftop Restaurant as I think I could well and truely use the break for a couple of hours.!!!
I would of course bring home some of the lovely cakes and biscuits from M&S which always go down so well in our house!
