Booth 1847 Cafe in Wyre

I love Booths and as I travel across the northwest it is somewhere I love to go and explore local products, I visited on the 5th November did some shopping in local Garstang, did my booths shopping and met a friend for lunch, great day - I have now received a parking fine for £100 reduced to £50 if you pay early!!! I am disgusted yes I went over the time but the charges are ridiculous and Booths don’t seem to care, we are YOUR customers so passing it off as parking eye issue in my eyes is not acceptable! I will no longer shop in Garstang as this is totally uncalled for especiallly as I spent in excess of £150 in store!

Had tempura battered fishfingers. When it arrived was not tempura battered just run of mill fishfingers. It was between two pieces of very hard bread I had to remove the top piece of bread in order to cut it and even then I struggled to saw it whilst doing so the salad and crisps were flying off the too small plate. Not a pleasant experience.

Have always found Booth's cafes to be a safe bet for good food and service. This however, was our first visit to the Garstang store. We perused the menu board at the entrance, which offered the fish and chips that my husband was wanting for his birthday lunch. He took a seat while I queued for over 15 minutes before being told this option was not available. We then decided to merely have soup and get a chippy tea later. I then had to queue again before being provided with 2 bowls of luke warm soup with no choice of bread roll. Very disappointed indeed.

Went last Friday with my husband. Had soup and fish and chips . It was very well executed and delicious .Good selections of soft drinks and great coffee. The restaurant is lovely with great comfortable wooden furniture and a fabulous ambiance. Great prices too . Would recommend

Met business colleagues for lunch. Lunch fine and had a table that allowed us to discuss work. The downside and reason for poor marks is that one colleague (who arrived early) was fined for being too long in the car park!! Not using this place again.

Ordered chips and a chicken Caesar wrap. The chips were dry and rather burnt. The chicken wrap was served on a plate still in its wrapper having been taken off a shelf. When I opened it, there was hardly any content, it was mainly the wrap and no chicken. Absolutely no effort has gone into serving the food and I was very disappointed. I asked for some sauce and the staff member said that I would have to follow them back to the counter to collect it, they wouldn't bring it back to my table. I would expect better from Booths. Needless to say, I won't be eating at Booths Garstang again.

We came to Garstang as our car was being MOTd. We hoped for a nice cafe on the main road through, and a look around the shops to find the place like a ghost town around 9.30 am very little open or closed down. We found one place open where we could get a lovely oat milk coffee, there was a loo (so important for older folks) and comfy sofas to relax- what more do you need whilst passing time whilst a way from home. We were not rushed by the staff, it was a nice place to unwind. We decided on brunch as we were so relaxed there. Pity the vegan options that sounded wonderful were not available like vegan cheese or vegan sausages. Strange as the shop below sells the items? Still, the vegan breakfast without the bangers nice! Lovely girl serving so polite. If anything would have liked to see the tables cleared . We were there a long time and so were the used crockery dotted about the place despite being quite. It would have looked tidier and more inviting if used plates and cups cleared. Enjoyed the cafe so much we will start shopping in Booths when we travel from Lancaster and have lunch there. It was an older customer base so felt we fitted in! Hope you keep the vegan options stocked up!!

It's a pity that the cappuccinos here are so hit and miss. Sometimes you get a nice drink but other times like today, you get a drink that is coffee and boiled milk with no texture which tastes horrid. Sadly my request for a replacement didn't go down well and the assistant totally took the p by giving me one that was almost stone cold. It's a shame that Booths, who are coffee specialists, don't invest more in staff training.

Stood in the queue for 20 minutes to then told 30 minute wait for cooked food. No communication. Staff are robotic and don't communicate anything with anyone. Expect better from Booths. Poor.

Not been here for some time as last visit was a fiasco. Pleased that this visit was pretty much spot on. Staff more “experienced” this time. I had bacon & mushroom barm, very good, bacon generous & well cooked. Nice roll too. Coffee was spot on too. It opens early (8am Mon - Sat), which is good as everything else in Garstang seems to open at 10am.

Good coffee in the very pleasant upstairs (tho fully accessible) coffee shop, good value, nice staff

I would like to say, the staff at the Garstang store were very helpful especially the ladies on the checkout.

I had a lovely cappuccino, and a delicious fruit scone. A friendly welcome, excellent service and great staff! Thankyou

Visited for the first time while passing through . Waited 15 minutes to order food then 45 minutes for food to arrive. Fish finger sandwich, deep fried fish fingers a dry bread bun, a jacket potato that had been overcooked/re cooked that much that you couldn't actually get a fork into it ! Rather than stand in another queue for 15 minutes to complain together with the man who had ordered a bacon sandwich and had 1 slice of bacon in it and the man who had paid extra for cheese on his burger to be told they didn't have any cheese ( in a shop that sells cheese ), we just left. Would love to say at least the staff were nice but when leaving we passed a member of staff being rude to a couple that were complaining, telling them what do you expect when we are understaffed. Absolutely never again !

The cafe at Booths Garstang has a lovely large dining area. However the choice of food is disappointing and the general service is poor. Most tables needed clearing so consequently you need to clear your own. Not as good as it used to be or should be

Booths Garstang is our regular supermarket shop and used to be our regular café stop. I can only echo the complaints of numerous others. To give Booths a chance I have complained directly to Booths on several occasions but just get the standard 'we have passed your comments onto the manager' and nothing changes. It basically boils down to nobody cares. Hot food is not available all day because they have either 'turned the ovens off, sorry (not)' or 'run out of eggs / beans / bacon / anything that you could possibly ask for, sorry (not)' as well as on one recent occasion 'it's only called an all-day breakfast, it's not all day'. The tables pile up with used pots, and hilariously a couple of weeks ago when we moved a tray to another table (which was already being used as a dumping ground) so we could sit down we were ticked off by the person clearing the tables who asked us how they were supposed to know which tables to wipe if people moved the used trays off them! It would be funny if it wasn't so sad that such a great resource in the middle of Garstang treats its customers with such disregard, and a company that claims to have a proud heritage of serving its customers can't even be bothered to properly address complaints or, I guess, bother to read reviews on the web.

Fraiser gave me the wrong change I gave him a £20 note and he gave me the wrong change and you need more staff in the cafe and the service was slow

Once again utterly disappointed. Ordered two jacket potatoes, one with coleslaw. You guessed it.....no coleslaw, for gods sake this cafe sits on top of a supermarket. I pointed this out and was just met with a shrug of the shoulders. Would have left if I wasn't with my elderly mother. On top of it all one potatoe was sent back as stone cold and both had inedible skins. Unless you are a crocodile. 100% will never never never return. Would rather lick the tarmac on the road outside.

Visited with friends for lunch at Garstang Booths. . Empty tables piled high with used plates ect. Had to ask a staff member to clean and clear away the mess. Proceeded to wait to be served for 20 mins then to be told there was only two all day breakfasts left and no eggs and one soup left. Felt let down with the limited choice. Did not stay and will not go back in the future.

Brilliant soup and definitely need more menu choices and more hot food choices and more cakes baked fresh not sell cakes to people that are a few days out of date make more cake choices and fresh and more choice on the menu

All day breakfast not available at 3.00pm. No croissants available at 3.00pm. For goodness sake this cafe sits on top of their food store.Mum, 96, wanted white coffee, assistant said they don't do a white coffee and claimed to not know what one was, and gave her an Americano with hot milk in a jug. Mum confused at best of times. I've previously said I won't come back but one thinks things will change. Sadly not.PS Even McDonald's understand what a white coffee is.

The shop is great with lots of choice always find the staff pleasant even when they are trying to keep to current regulations but was very disappointed with the cafe the toasted sandwich was like rubber had to leave it uneaten the jacket potato had been baked and kept warm for some time fish pie not the best sorry but put us off visiting again soon, the standard of food used to be much better the staff where trying their best but definately not the standard Booths want to portray surely, the setting is much classier than the food

The food was absolutely aweful the sandwich was like cardboard and what I had I didn’t like it and definitely won’t be coming back to booths cafe in Garstang again and the kitchen was closed but the muffin and the cake were delicious

What a complete fiasco!Firstly I should say I love Booths the store.Decided to go for breakfast on Saturday (around 9:20am). Cafe was pretty quiet, we found a table & decided on what to have.My wife went to queue (around 3 people in queue).After 25 minutes, my wife was still 2nd in the queue.The lady on the till could not have gone any slower if she had tried, no urgency or apology to what was by now a queue of 10. Then of course the till broke!!At this point we decided to take our business elsewhere.More staff needed, management need to oversee the operation.We definitely will not be rushing back!

Very nice lunch however the panini was really dry needed more pesto and tomatoes needed inside the panini and the double chocolate cookie was very rock hard and very sweet and needed to sort out the toliet and make sure of all the sinks

Very nice food and great service but the panini was burnt and when they got us another one it was perfect and Olivia was very well mannered over the phone when I rang and booked yesterday and i told Christine that I booked a table for 2 for 12pmish today and she did track and trace and I would be definitely coming back again well done

Very friendly and helpful staff and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit garstang but the cheese sandwich’s the cheese can get stuck in your mouth and very well set out very good at social distancing

Very nice food and very well set out and you have you ring in a week in advance to book a table or just turn up on The day and a you can book a table the maximum off people is four to a table

Very large and spacious cafe that seems clean and well laid out. Not much choice of meals but we there for a breakfast (£5.25) so ordered these at the till with drinks. I understand that due to coronavirus all condiments and cutlery is being given out rather than people helping themselves, but they need to think how they are doing this. After ordering 2 breakfasts I was asked ‘do you want cutlery?’ and she waited for the answer!!!! Then it was do you want sugar? Yes please. How many? Two. Do you want stirrers? Yes. How many? Do you want salt? Yes. How many? And so it continued through the condiments!! Absolutely painful and so slow it felt like a comedy sketch!!Breakfasts arrived pretty quickly and were ok, nothing special but nothing particularly bad (though another place that only cooks one side of the bacon and therefore it’s undercooked). Not sure I’d return as the service is just too frustrating.

Had an afternoon snack here with my wife. No problems with the venue, ambience, and food/drinks - all very acceptable. What was disappointing was to watch a young lad - a staff member - undertake cursory cleaning and wiping down of tables and trays, when the Coronavirus was at the centre of everyone's attention. No spray used - just what appeared to be a well worn cloth, which was probably depositing more germs than it was removing. Certainly, not something I would have expected from Booths.

Chaos. Busy Sunday morning. Had to wait on knives and forks. Plates piled on every table, the store manager ended up helping clear up the mess! Good coffee, decent food, but overall a stressful experience. Going downhill. Will not be returning for sometime...

We are regulars for Breakfast in this cafe followed by a rummage in the “bargain” section of the Supermarket! The full English breakfast is a good size and always cooked to order. It is excellent value compared to other breakfast offerings in the area. Hot drinks are half price with a Booths card which is an added bonus. The staff are always nice and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. All in all, thoroughly recommended, we have never had a problem here in all the years we have eaten breakfast at this cafe.

Called in for breakfast. Hubby had bacon sandwich and I had sausage. excellent value! plenty of bacon and 3 enormous banger size sausages, far too much. Bread was lovely too. Lovely size pot of tea for 2, all in all 2 very satisfied customers.

Had coffee and sandwich here with a relative. This place never disappoints -the coffee and food very good, and the cafe itself, clean and specious. Toilets well worht a mention as being very clean. The cafe in on the first floor, and is lift served.

Drove from Derby and was hungry so my son suggested Booths. No queue so good coffee and a decent full English were delivered promptly by friendly staff. A very clean bright restaurant.

This is a fab store, with lots of local fresh produce. And a lovely cafe upstairs, they do a great breakfast, or mid-morning snack and drink. We love the hot chocolate!

I don’t like moaning because it’s a good cafe and the staff are so nice but the service is so slow. It takes an age for the queue to go down, they just need to put a better system in place.

A long Q, we waited and waited and waited, gave up in the end and went somewhere else in Garstang which was fine. Service is so slow.

Stairs or lift to restaurant. Lovely relaxing cafe atmosphere, clean and bright, and friendly staff. Just had a delicious cappucino. The food i saw served all looked good.

This store is huge! Well stocked and even has an amazon locker. Really good. Friendly staff as well!

This restaurant is overpriced especially the soup.4 pounds for a bowl of soup.Had some chips and they were undercooked.Will not be going again.

Popped in whilst shopping. Lowly coffee lovely sausage. Reccomend for a quick bite to eat. Nice staff and clean tables

Reasonably priced, good quality food. Plenty of space to sit. Also clean and tidy. Staff friendly. Will return.

This is a large cafe is situated on a higher level above the Booth's food store in Garstang. Stopped by on a Tuesday morning for a quick coffee and Bacon on toast, It was lovely and the restaurant very clean. We were served by a pleasant young lady with a smile and very quickly. Will of course call in again soon

Second visit for breakfast on Friday 19 July nice food but for the second time long queue just doesn’t seem to be enough staff serving and ones that are very slow , tables left quite a while before cleared .

Great shopping centre it's booths supermarket and it's got a lovely cafe and book rack in the cafe were you can bring books to leave in the cafe for other people, it's got a nice relaxing atmosphere

Lovely cafe open spacious lovely high ceiling reminds you of a barn lovely service friendly staff good coffe

The cafe in Booths Garstang is large and spacious. Everything is reasonably priced and if you’re a member you enjoy discounted prices. 2 hot drinks with 2 cakes for £6.35. What’s not to like

Called in for a pot of tea for two and a sandwich, even though the café is above their supermarket I was told they had run out of tea bags and only had loose tea, although I should have known better from a previous visit, I decided to purchase it, there was barely enough tea put in the pot for one let alone two and the tea would just not brew, the wait in the q was terrible and the staff barely seemed to know what to do and appeared to be short of training, not enough staff to clear and clean tables there are now other cafes in Garstang opened up, so it beats me how they do any business, I certainly wont be going in again

Called in for a lite bite, it was ten to twelve, at five past I reached the till, wife wanted a toasted something I wanted a suasage bun.

Always seem to be training someone. Always struggling with the till.Agonisingly slow. But staff are pleasent but not enough serving

Well stocked and very helpful friendly staff Everything out need for a breakaway on the caravan park local !! Ok

A regular calling point for me when in Garstang. Spacious restaurant, well set out. Very clean - as are the toilets. On the first floor, but lift served. Quality of food is fine, as are drinks. A very pleasant snacking experience all round.

Went for lunch after not eating there due to falling standard, remembered why we stopped eating there when the crust on the pie was rock hard and the veg had been boiled beyond recognition, never seen grey cauliflower before. Won't eat there again.

This upstairs cafe inside Booths Supermarket in Garstang could be fabulous. The cafe area is very spacious and well presented. Comfortable sofas as well as table and chairs. The all wood vaulted ceilings are quite pretty,

Visited Garstang for first time on a Sunday afternoon. We went in Booths for a drink and a cake in the cafe and saw the afternoon tea for two offer and decided to give it a go. Good service, excellent quality sandwiches, cakes, and scones with jam and cream plus a good pot of tea. Good value at £15.00 but even better with a Booths card at £12.50. we couldn't fault it.

Called in for a coffee and cake, the place is spacious light and airy, looks and feels really good. When we got there it was very quiet. The Q was quite long but not excessive, after 20 mins we gave up, it was so slow. Not if its me but Booths seem do Q's and slow service to a world standard inc Garstang!

We only came here as it was busy elsewhere. The food is overpriced for what it is. Service was slow but ok. Probably only visit if I had to.

Dropped in on the way home and had a great coffee and snack. Got some great bread and what a choice of cheeses.

It is about time Booths senior management got to grips with the cafe. Pathetically slow service and table clearing!!!! 14 tables with dirty plates on them when we went in one afternoon last week. There needs to be an extra member of staff.

The cafe has the potential to be great as it’s nice and spacious so great for families and serving booths food which is perceived as luxury. However the speed of the service is excruciating. All we wanted was pre made sandwiches and drinks from the fridge and we queued for 25 mins. The servers are few and they serve hot drinks at the till which delays the queue massively. On this occasion the till operator supervised the bread toasting while the queue watched on. The long queue I’m sure puts people off eating here, but we do come because the cafe seating is nice and it’s a convenient location.

The restaurant in the Garstang branch of Booths is located upstairs from the main store on a light, spacious mezzanine floor. There is a good selection of hot meals, sandwiches, cakes, andd coffeees. Good value as well ! We visited for breakfast (store opens at 08:00 on weekdays) and paid £4.95 for a full english and circa £2.50 for a bacon roll.

Had a recent "pit-stop" here - coffee and snacks. Food and drinks very acceptable. Café arrangement excellent - spacious and comfortable. Very clean toilets. Café on the first floor, with views of the Store, and lift served. Large car park with plenty of spaces. All in all - very good indeed.

Only recently moved to area visited one morning in search of breakfast what a revelation it was great food really friendly and most of all a really good price,have been several times since and it is consistently the same which in this day and age is hard to beat .

Love this place quality products and very different from the big 4 supermarkets . Great choice of meats and wines

Booths Garstang Sun 28th October.. Shop was nice but cafe was terrible, Mum is really fussy eater but agreed to try have egg and chips if theyd do it for her. Chef refused to make her a fried egg so had just chips and peas. Lasagne and Fish was lovely but chips was only partly cooked, so we left most them. Partners side chips came 10 mins after his meal. Sue who served us seemed bit moody, not at all friendly. Also she was banging and scrapung chairs and crockery whilst clearing tables which is very loud in cafe. Not pleasant experience at all.

WE had a great evening last night for the launch of the Christmas ranges both food and drink. The smoked salmon range for Christmas is so good along with the port, cheeses and small but ever so tasty cakes Thank you Booths for so much choice and your lovely friendly staff.

More often than anything we call in here for a brew and something to eat. Always found the food good and at a reasonable price. Before going home always call in the shop for something to take home.

I dine here occasionally and it really is a cut above other supermarket cafes (even Waitrose. I had the fish pie last week and for £6 it really was good value for money. Hot drinks are half price with your Booths card too.

Called in after a walk along the towpath with friends for a drink and do some shopping but we were not very impressed with our visit food was ok nothing to shout about and we thought expensive for what we had

Nice shopping experience, need 2 or 3 more staff. Great choice and excellent parking. Enjoyed cafe in particular

Nice, clean spacious cafe, we both had quiche salad, very nice but way too cold, not surprising really as this was the first day in ages that the weather had cooled down! Air conditioning and chill counters needed adjusting. Tea and coffee very good and macaroon was delicious, we looked in store for them to purchase to take home but none there.

We called in the cafe before doing our shopping. It was very busy so we were queuing at the counter for about ten minutes. There was one person on drinks and one on the till. Another person was going along the queue and taking orders for hot food which speeded up the process considerably. Our food arrived just as we reached the till and was very tasty.

great food nice clean place to relax and enjoy friendly staff great coffee . while waiting for mother in law to finish charity shopping hunting for bargins

We only had a sandwich which was prepacked and nothing particularly interesting. I had to clear a table so we could sit down. Coffee not the best. The restaurant itself is modern and spacious. The biggest let down was that a number of toilets had no toilet paper hence the notice that it’s checked hourly is hard to believe.

Usually the best fish and fresh chips around but last week had the worst ,frozen chips and the fish was more batter than fish what’s gone wrong why revert to frozen chips

Smart, clean, modern, spacious. Brilliant range of beers (including many local brews) Fresh produce very enticing. Not a big range of ready meals (we were on holiday and feeling lazy!)

Popped in for coffee and scone. Scone was the wrong side of stale and contained virtually no fruit. I should have returned it to the counter but didn't think the lady behind the counter was up for a friendly " I am sorry about that...let me get you another one"...or " Would you like to select something else in place of..." She had been a little "starchy" in the first instance and I did not fancy facing her. Hey ho!

Have been three times for afternoon tea. Very pleased by the presentation and freshness of everything. Definitely made to order. Good value compared to other afternoon teas, especially if you are a Booth's card holder.

We visited the store for shopping but beforehand we had a light lunch, mine being a Tuna toasted sandwich, and a bag of crisps. Service was slow, nobody was at the counter for a few minutes as the server was out of sight having something to eat herself whilst other staff were giving first aid to a small child who had bumped their head.

We visited for lunch on two occasions. On both occasions, the advertised soup (leek and potato) turned out to be unavailable.and it took nearly 10 minutes to reach the front of the ordering queue.

I hadn't been back for years and called in, dodging the rain for coffee and to kill a little time. The coffee the scone were good, served quickly by delightfully smiley people. The huge, high-beamed mezzanine space overlooking the shop floor is airy, light, even on a dark drizzly morning and impressive, . Couples, mums with little ones, kids on their own and other singletons all seemed to enjoy the space, peace and quiet.

Booths offers a free coffee for shoppers, or at least used to, thus undermining local coffee shops. Which is ironic, given that as Boothes are now struggling they will no doubt play the "support local business" card, which they have done for many years with their "we are locally supplied" adverts. The cafe is fine, but really is nothing special. Service can be a little hit or miss. We have had items brought to our table a little burned or in a random order, and sometimes they can take a while. Not a "bad" restaurant, but slightly below the high quality that the rest of the store aims for. Limited options for vegetarians.

Your coffee is not free to me i spend a lot of money in your store.So now your saying after spending my hard earned in your store i cant take my free coffee to the cafe ?As long as i have bought something i will take my free coffee to the cafe .

A well appointed café, serving good coffees and snacks. As has been mentioned by others, the menu seems to suffer later on in the day, with sandwiches not being "topped up", so if you eat or snack after mid-afternoon, be prepared not to have a...

This well situated cafe which offers a good range of foods is let down by being understaffed leading to long queues even at the quietest of times. The one queue for food and drink delays those who only want a snack and have limited time.

Having never eaten here before I went for lunch with my aunt my young daughter today and was very disappointed....

If you want to go shopping in lovely surroundings and a great selection the Booths fit the bill.some nice christmas...

Probably the best Booths cafe I've been in, great service, pleasant staff and good food with decent quality supermarket thrown...

Very pleasant cafe above a quality up market supermarket. Enjoyed a bacon roll with coffee in a pleasant comfortable environment...

A bit of of a bottleneck ordering food but acceptable wait for it to be served. Its a large restaurant and no doubt the staff have difficulty coping when its busy. Food wholesome and good value for money.

I love Booths stores and this was another good one. It's clean and tidy, staff are friendly and willing to have a chat whilst serving. The carpark is large but has ANPR so you can't stay longer than three hours. The product range in store varies from your common everyday brands to local Premium top quality produce. The pricing is reasonable. Free trolleys, a nice range of Booths bags that can be brought

Went on a Sunday morning for quick breakfast before shopping. Staff Completely forgot our order after 30 minutes so then was assured would only take a few more minutes. Went back several times after only to be told it's coming or just being plated up. Finally after 50 minutes it arrived. Was very average food. Our coffees had gone cold - no apology or offer of a fresh drink. Needs management to organise as it was unacceptable. I never write a bad review in trip advisor but I felt I needed to to write this one. Come on Booths sort yourselves out. We always shop here when one is nearby. Will not be using your cafes in the future.

lovely clean well lit supermarket, with ample free parking. the restaurant upstairs which is spacious light and comfortable to sit in serves the best full English breakfast at a very reasonable price.

Queue management consisted of serving hot crumpet and toasted tea cake 10 mins before drinks counter was reached, so were stone cold, possibly the worst flat white coffee ever tasted! No foam, no taste and way too hot. All the equipment is there and the coffee used is good so it's just about not training your staff. No management presence so not even able to complain without queuing and blasting the poor staff, not my style.

We stopped in for the afternoon tea today and it was a little disappointing. The booths cafe normally offers nice food at a reasonable price, especially as a loyality card holder. We've had the afternoon tea before and it has been lovely, but today sadly they'd run out of cakes and the clotted cream was still frozen. The young girl serving did find some caramel shortbread and Bakewell tart, but not quite chocolate cake or Victoria sponge and popped down stairs to the shop for some fresh clotted cream. On the plus side the sandwiches were lovely: tuna mayo, egg mayo and ham, and with a nice scone too it was ok.My kids never believe people read my reviews, so if this was helpful please let me have your vote. It's always good to prove them wrong now and again.

Not only is the food good, but the quality of the cafe in terms of seating and tables, space, and overall ambience, is first class. The cafe is situated on the first floor, and is left served. Service very good, and definitely value for money. My wife and I always visit when in Garstang, and are never disappointed.

Booths are a very good quality store offering meat counter, cheese counter, instore bakery, freshly squeezed orange juice, instore cafe upstairs ascwell as general groceries.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Great variety of goods, including a delicatessen, butchers and fish monger. Bright and clean shop.

Expensive and poor choices. Sometimes a long wait and uncomfortable seating.Almost no choices later in the day
