Hello, we have just had Iain and Paul round to build up and paint our wooden front step, seal a shower and repair a wall and install some hooks. They were really friendly, reliable and efficient. I definitely recommend these guys! -
Hope it's not Covid onset. If you google for just the 'cheese and pumpkin seed crispbread' you can compare ingredient lists in full at leisure. I see it's only Kargs that mention emmenthal! Even then, I don't actually see a universal appreciable price difference in the Kargs offering. Sainsbury's, for example, claims to have them at £2.70. Mme La Comtesse, if I may interject before I leave ... I purchase my almonds from Messrs Lidl. There I find the Turkish ones, sold for baking, do tend to be not as tasty as those sold in a big colour branded package for snacking at maybe a small extra cost. But perhaps the baking contributes? -

I think the quality of a lot of M&S products has gone down recently - understandable, the cost of many ingredients and labour has risen enormously and even as a premium brand, they still have to find a price-point which consumers will pay, hence cheaper ingredients and bulking agents. Crispbread is really easy to make yourself, if you're so inclined, and quick because you don't have to do the whole proving shebang - plus you can add more cheese and seeds, and swap out for seeds you prefer. Aldi is great for raw nuts and seeds at low prices for baking. -
Their food is lovely, but unfortunately the waiting time for it is sometimes so long, even when they don't seem particularly busy, that we no longer go there. We used to just accept it, but seeing people who came in long after us getting their food before us was the last straw after we had waited well over half an hour, if memory serves. It might have been nearly an hour, but I can't remember exactly, it was a while ago. We paid for our drinks (which had come quite quickly) and went to have lunch elsewhere. We reckoned we would get our food quicker that way. We were very hungry by this time! It's a shame, because we would like to support them as they are a small local business with great food, but there seems to be some problem on the kitchen side (we were assured that our order had been given to the kitchen as soon as we made it - we asked earlier, as we thought maybe it had been forgotten, but no).
