Inside the ‘best M&S ever’ with a ‘disco ball’ pizza oven, Halloween sushi and a fresh juice bar
MARKS & Spencer shoppers claim that they have found its “best” Foodhall in the UK.
It has Halloween sushi, a glitterball pizza oven, freshly made restaurant-quality pasta and a fresh juice bar.
Department retailer M&S has everything from clothing, homeware and even opticians in its bigger stores.
But the star of the show for foodie Brits is always its iconic Foodhall.
These can either be as standalone stores or as a feature in its larger department shops.
One particular M&S Foodhall has gone viral on TikTok after law student Lily Collyer shared some clips from inside.
She showcased fully-stocked drink fridges, the iconic glitterball pizza oven, lines of fresh juices and the limited edition seasonal sushi.
The store in question is M&S’ Hedge End branch in Southampton.
“The Hedge End store is the best one in the country, for real,” one viewer commented on Lily’s video.
“It’s a great day out,” another quipped.
“It has the best Foodhall,” a third beamed.
Others who hadn’t heard of the store’s allure before seeing Lily’s video vowed to give it a visit.
The shop went through a mega refurbishment in 2019, which saw the introduction of its mouth-watering stations and even more stock.
A blurb on the M&S website reads: “Come and discover an amazing revamped store, featuring double the choice of fresh M&S Select Farms produce, an expanded frozen section and a bigger, better grocery department.
“This is your Foodhall with added wow-factor, and we can’t wait to welcome you.
“We’ve got everything you need for a delicious dinner tonight
“From restaurant-quality pasta made freshly in store by our partners, Pasta Evangelists, to our Cook With prep kitchen where we’ll help you create a tasty meal in four easy steps.
“Not only that, you can now pick up a hot pizza from our glitterball pizza oven!
“Pop in for a ‘mind-blowingly delicious’ (Giles Coren, The Times) bowl of pasta – freshly prepared in store by Pasta Evangelists chefs.
“Or take away your own fresh, artisan pasta and sauces to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.”
