McNeill210's review of Farmfoods

“How we survive food wise”

★★★★☆

written by McNeill210 on 10/04/2016

No nonsense high value store where we can pick up most essentials. Voucher system gives up to 10% off already low prices. Staff in Wolverton store competent and friendly, but high churn maybe because very young. Sometimes milk fridge left empty even though they have more in the back although they'll happily refill on request.

I read with interest other reviews about meat products and cannot say I've had a bad experience. However I only buy frozen foods that I believe are ok to freeze, mostly fish/prawns, chicken breast and whole chicken and duck. The LA diner range varies considerably. The chicken dippers are immense value, low salt, 100% chicken breast and nice hot or cold. But LA Diner not always great.

Milk 3 jugs for £2 less any voucher discount is incredible! We have stopped giving main supermarkets the business, just buying what we cannot get in FF. They demonstrate what a rip-off the larger stores are as I'm sure FF do not have the buying power of the big 3 supermarkets, and I don't notice significant quality difference between them and big 3 own brands on most items.

I suppose if I was to criticise the chain, it would be that the stores look a little run down but always clean. Staff is minimal which is how it should be. Very young but also friendly and professional. Nobody apparently over 25 though which is a bit odd. The manager at local store looks like she should be still at school but she's every bit as competent as any floor supervisor in retail establishment.

Prices do tend to hop around a lot as well, while on some items the offers are permanent. Usually always cheaper than other stores, so it's my go-to place for family food. They're starting to branch into more and more fresh food and prices equally competitive here. Would be a very sad day if they ever disappear or get bought out by a bigger establishment. Much prefer to likes of Iceland who I suppose are their direct competitor.

Great job Farm Foods!
