I came with my daughter had drinks with toast.we decided to have another drink.I went to the counter and ordered I turned saying that I forgot my card. The response was it won’t do you any good, you can get if you want to but it will not make any difference. This is the Booths we know bad mannered and uncaring. I go to Clitheroe at least once a week what a difference. I feel that I didn’t deserve treatment such as this. This was today Friday 29th at the time 11 am approx

Big shout to Anthony G this morning. Company credit card was not working for 2 items I had purchased. Anthony actually paid for them for me on his own card. How kind and trusting. Will be popping in later to pay him back.

Thought I’d try after living in the village 18 months. Sorry to say the breakfast was dire. It was 12 noon and I ordered the all day breakfast for myself and friend. Overcooked to the point of inedible. Absolutely frazzled in the microwave or similar, grey rock hard hash browns , bacon looked well done and was like plastic, sausages dry hard, the mushroom was the texture of plastic, seriously never seen anything like it. Bacon sausage rock hard, we ate the egg beans and a piece of toast. Tables were left piled with dirty. Crockery, service was awful despite a small amount of effort made. This so let down the Booths brand. I paid 23 pounds and I’m disappointed to say, never ever again. The coffee was nice. The cafe was busy, I have honestly no clue why other than service was dire. Needed to get back to work so had no time to complain, I just voted with my feet.

A year later and no improvement. Adhoc staffing, no consistency amongst the staff. Usually one person serving as well as making the coffee… leading to pointless waiting and no acknowledgement. Still stale cakes served at times… soo poorly managed and organised.

Avoid because they use Parking Eye scum for their parking. Cannot believe Booths are working with these cowboys to rip off their customers if they go 10-20 minutes over their 2 hour limit - which is ridiculous when you have a cafe. How can you do a food shop and have a nice lunch with a friend in two hours?!

AVIOD!! no bacon, no avacado then later when we came to pay i didnt have a booths card so we got overcharged for everything, The staff didnt clean the table from the last people, No table service The staff could not care less , Everything seemed very dirty like the place has not been cleaned in years. Overall im very disgusted and will not be coming here again and hopefully save the next people from the same thing happening. Go somewhere else!!!

My wife & I visit the Booths restaurant at least once a week. The coffee is always first class. On our most recent visit, Tuesday 27th September, our drinks were once again perfect, and to go with mine I asked for a 'well done' bacon sandwich, which when it came was about as good as it could possibly have been. Crispy bacon, just as requested, and a beautifully soft, fresh white bap. I have always found the staff to be very friendly, both upstairs in the restaurant and downstairs in the store itself. Thank you Booths, and well done.

Tables don’t get cleaned properly, the food and drinks were very slow to arrive and were cold. The food quality isn’t the best either. The staff seem uninterested and don’t seem to care. The prices are reasonable but I guess you get what you pay for. We won’t be returning.

Just gets worse. Ups and downs… more than two customers at a time place feels that staff are overwhelmed, resulting in slow service, very slow and tables mounting up waiting to be cleared. Wish this establishment would do something to sort itself out, better communication or even acknowledgement from staff would be a start away from that avoidant and hindrance felt as a customer.

I was appalled at the unreasonable and rude customer service I experienced after recently attending Booths cafe, following its recent opening. I was told by a staff member that I should not have seated myself at one of the cafe chairs as she had to sanitise it. I informed her I had not in fact been seated there, however only placed a tray on the table for two seconds and then moved to a window seat. The staff member rudely went on to tell me how she now had to clean two tables and that I should not have moved. I informed her, I could not see notices advising customers they were not allowed to move tables or in my case place a tray for 2 seconds on a table. She then patronisingly informed me we were in a global pandemic and if she had been me would not have done this. Her attitude and manner were atrocious and very patronising. I spend a fortune each month in this store and won't be returning after this appalling customer service. Usually,the staff are lovely, I feel quite appalled by this girl's mannerism and attitude. Had I actually been seated at this table, I might have understood and apologised if her attitude had been reasonable. Her remarks were openely vocalised in earshot of all other customers.

Having visited the cafe since it first opened there have been ups and downs. There are some lovely staff members but unfortunately some rude staff and frankly silly rules spoil it. Charges for extra milk with a now expensive pot of tea (changes to the Booths card) and staff being "watched" by management on CCTV if they give you extra hot water? Hopefully this issue is resolved after discussion with the manager, but it shouldn't have ever been an issue.

Sunday is the only time my girlfriend and l can have a bit of time together, other than work and home. We have been to Booths cafe a few times mainly on a Sunday. Whilst the limited menu is okay, the tea and coffee are fine, the service is so very very slow. If they had a larger menu offering l could understand, but toast and cakes, isn't really rocket science. Also on each occasion l noticed that only one utensil was used for all the different kinds of cakes, not ideal for anyone with fair for nut allergies, and no catering gloves used either.The toast however is nice and chunky..

Bizarre way to have hot food in the café. You have to go downstairs to get the hot food, then take it upstairs and stand in a queue to get a hot drink whilst your hot food is going cold. Very cold clinical feel to the place. Won't be returning - one less in the queue!

Very surprised to see recent reviews denouncing the end of "free brews" in fact the half price offer is incredible value, doesn't involve having to order a food item you might not actually want and is the cheapest place around for a great quality coffee. Extremely busy Tuesday morning and the new offer seems to have revitalised the place. If a free coffee is something that was the reason to visit maybe that's a motivation that needs to be looked at by other places. Nothing is free really.Great new offer. Great place for a coffee.Excellent

My husband and myself have been going to booths cafe in Barrowford since it opened however the last few months it’s gone hill tremendously, we go every Sunday morning but since they stopped the free brews people have dropped if it used to packed this du day there were 1/2 a dozen people there. I always get the 3 slices of toast but now they only give you 2 piece of butter not even a piece per slice which doesn’t even butter the bread, when I asked for some extra butter and even offered to pay I was told it was company policy only 2 pieces of butter no wonder people are leaving in droves! The guy who is the acting manager now of the cafe is rude and doesn’t ever smile at customers I don’t like going g when he is on the nice girls that used to be on seem to have left the cafe seriously needs looking at there used to be lots of us on a Sunday now only 2 go and not every week as we used to and sometimes we even went during g the week but not any more it’s such a shame

It’s rare that supermarket cafes impress me but the cafe upstairs at Booths Supermarket hit the right spot on a cold blustery day. The coffee was delicious and hot buttered scone delightful. Afternoon tea option for two at £15 looks great value (£12.50 if you have a Booths card).

Having travelled in the snow for a couple of miles especially to have their afternoon tea, only to be told on arrival they did not have sandwiches! This despite a huge banner at the top of the stairs advertising their afternoon tea. The management needs a shake up. Went elsewhere and will think twice about returning. No wonder they are up for sale.

I have used Booths quite a few times and the free coffee for card holders is brilliant but they have now started doing afternoon tea for two. It's £15 for none card holders but a very good value £12.50 for card holders. You get 8 mini sandwiches, tuna, egg, ham etc. ; two very big scones with cream and jam ; a selection of 6 mini cakes & a pot of tea from which you will get 2 drinks each out of. The service was very quick and the food excellent. Far too much for us to get through but we were able to wrap up what we couldn't get through to finish off later. Yes highly recommended thank you Booths this is an excellent addition to your menu.

I love going to Booths cafe on a Saturday morning and starting the weekend off with a nice croissant and a decent free coffee while reading the free paper and chatting with my husband. Staff are friendly and usually efficient. Sometimes we have got served by a Saturday only member of staff who might not have had quite enough training on getting the ratio right of choc and coffee in a Mocha which my husband has every week. But when it is point out it is usually rectified quickly. I like the almond croissants. The cafe is large and spacious and usually quiet never had any problems with noise or children and we visit a lot. We shop first then reward ourselves with the cafe.

Stopped off on way passed to grab a bit of lunch. Didn't have time to go to cafe. Hot food counter that I have used before had a que across the shop and very little choice considering it was 12:30. Ended up buying the bakery baguettes and ham from the Delhi for lunch and eating in the car park.It was my wife's first time in this store and I think she was a little disappointed as I had given the shop a good review based on previous visits.

Booths in Barrowford has a cafe upstairs - lift available! It is ideally positioned for a view over the park - and perfect for idling away an hour or so before or after a shopping trip.It's a clean and bright cafe, with a play corner for little ones. The staff are pleasant and helpful, although sometimes service is slow. This is largely due to the machines used to make the coffee - but it's worth the wait. Snacks only, and the children's selections are expensive - but a nice place for all that.

Had lunch yesterday, good value for money, food and coffee was very good. Very helpful and friendly staff, nothing too much trouble for them. The cafe was very clean and tidy with tables being cleared as soon as they were vacated. A good choice of seating with options available for settees. The only issue I could see that may cause an issue, was the amount of in accompanied teenagers that seemed to be occupying parts of the cafe. Other than that we had an enjoyable lunch in a nice friendly atmostphere.

Popped in on my own for lunch - the food selection was pretty poor- just the same takeaway sandwiches from downstairs. I didnt see the soup offer which I spotted two other customers having later on- was I too early or missed the sign? I asked if the ham and cheese sandwich could be toasted- it needed livening up. No - said the young man serving. And that was that! Coffee dreadful- sandwich awful. Will most definitely not be returning. Booths could take a leaf from M&S's inhouse cafe where theres a great food selection snd proper coffee!

Visited the booths cafe yesterday with family for afternoon tea which we had pre booked earlier in the week. I rang in the morning to confirm our booking was all correct and that I'd definitely reserved a table by the window ( as countless times in the past we have gone and no table has been reserved) and I was told everything was correct. However when we arrived there wasn't any table reserved and the cafe was full with no where to sit. I told the young girl at the till we'd booked afternoon tea and the table we had reserved had people sat at it and she apologised and said it had been so busy that she completely forgot to reserve anything. Luckily at this point a table became free so we went and sat there and the girl was very apologetic and gave us a sandwich and juice for our daughter free of charge to say sorry. At this point we felt quite bad for the staff at the cafe as the girl that had served us was completely out of breath and rushed off her feet clearing tables and serving at the till whilst seeming to manage all the other staff at the same time. We got our afternoon tea (which comes served on a wooden block not the traditional three tier stand) and as always the selection is always good and high quality like you'd expect at booths, but then we were sat there with no plates or cutlery for a while and no one came so I went and got some at the till. Once again not a massive problem because the staff seemed rushed off their feet. After all that we had a nice time and enjoyed the food but I don't know if we'll be coming back anytime soon unfortunately.

The coffee and drinks are extremely good but I found the range of food quite limited. Booths is not the cheapest of places but I have always assumed they are doing well. As a result I'm surprised that they haven't/ didn't make this into a restaurant with more items on the menu. The teenagers hanging out could easily be sorted with a minimum spend to be in the place. It's fine to meet up just for coffee and they do now offer afternoon tea but I think they could have been a lot more ambitious with the place.

When looking for reviews about Booths, it appears all about the Café? I always thought Booths was a local supermarket. Apparently not! The shop has very little choice. Nice selection of cheese etc; but no more than any other regular supermarket. Very overpriced. Maybe Booths have latched onto the bandwagon thinking everyone in Barrowford is rich The Café is larger than it needs to be. If Booths wants to cater for the masses, then more staff needed upstairs! Again overpriced.Not a place for your weekly shop Maybe pop in last minute for some reduced bread!

I had been told the cafe at Booths is fantastic and (maybe misinformed) that they do breakfast. I met friends at 10am on a Saturday morning (prime time for business) to one teenage member of staff serving a queue of 2o people, who didn't really know how to serve more than one person at once.£4 for a cheese and onion toastie that wasn't homemade, Booths are running a racket. If you want a bacon butty you have to go downstairs and buy it from the supermarket... but there are no signs to advise you of this, we had to ask the 2nd member of staff who had seen the massive queue, but didn't think to help the poor lass serving everyone in the cafe.The room that you sit in is quite nice.

Visited booths this morning first impressions parking was bad for disabled people, you have to park across the road, which is not good when your on two walking sticks, then on entering the store the life had broken down which takes you up stairs to the cafe and toilets,I noticed there is a least three flights of steps to go up, so I won't be hurrying back there.

I have been in here many times for cups of tea, it's a great place to take my daughter with ur having the little play area. Service is usually dreadfully slow and the tables are often full of dirty plates which haven't been cleared away. Like most people writing reviews, I want the place to do well and can't believe management haven't got a grip of things yet - it's the basics that need sorting nothing major.I'd booked me and my friend in for the afternoon tea, the girl in the phone was lovely and asked where I would like to sit. We arrived and our drinks order was taken and then our afternoon tea arrived. It was just beautiful. Fresh sandwiches and cake with a bottle of champagne for being a booths card holder. Staff were friendly and on the ball.This place could be - and should be packed! Prime location, big seating area and great food. Yes I do agree though the menu is far too basic. Speed up the service, get the staff out cleaning tables and earning their wages!

Brand new store which I have been in many times but had never been in the café. I have now and there is nothing wrong with it, but it's not for me. great view if you get the right window. Seems to have a limited menu.

This cafe only serves sandwiches (prepacked) cofee and cakes. All delighfull and good, but the food ofereing is on the whole poor. If you are a Booths card holder the the coffee is a good item (Free if you buy a cake). Great place to go after shopping at Booths or a walk on the park, but its NOT a restaurant or even a cafe, its a coffee shop!

A huge space is devoted to the cafe but what a missed opportunity. The selection of food is very limited and basic things like scones and croissants are often not available. The service is dreadfully slow and it is necessary to repeat your order to the staff who seem incapable of remembering (2 skinny cappuccinos). The tables are not cleared or wiped often enough it seems to be the customers responsibility to clear a space. Nit good enough Booths.

To access Booths cafe you can walk up the stairs or take the lift.the room is large and airy with a good view.the seating is a mix of rustic tables seating between 2-6 as well as leather sofas with coffee tables.there is free wifi which brings in local teenagers who also know where the power sockets are to charge there phones, there are also news papers to read.the coffee is good and is free if you have Booth ' s card and buy somthing to eat which in my case is usually a scone which I can recommend.

Very disappointing considering the quality and variety of food available in the store. The choice of food on the menu is poor and very limited. The cafe is bright and airy,with a super children's sitting and play corner which attracts young families after a walk in the park and shoppers who want a quick cup of coffee and a piece of cake. Come on Booths pull your socks up,you could be sitting on a little gold mine,wonderful facilities but poor and unimaginative efforts on your behalf!!

Went for tea and sandwich .. Only two young girls operating till , getting food and drinks and serving food !! As a result at 11.30am long queue .. Girl making drinks looking for a clean cup supposedly among the clean cups .. She sticks fingers in the cups to check .. Definitely a no no for me .. Takes over half a dozen cups into the back which are dirty .. Is there no proper dishwasher ? First t pot is dirty all down and in the spout .. Second one the same and they need washing properly into the spot with a bottle brush .. Yuk .. Ham sandwich no butter on it .. Second one that it is swapped for also has only thin smear of butter in one half of sandwich so no taste .. One of the worst places I have been .. Many better cafes around ... Not good enough for Booths !!

The visit was spoilt by the fact that we had to clear our table. There were two children running around not being supervised. Although the drinks and cakes were lovely the visit was not as pleasant as it could be due to the unclean table and the creche like atmosphere.

Booths BARROWFORD, where do I start. Designed at the checkout by an idiot. Queues all over the place with no room or channels. Stock management. A joke. Call regularly and I guarantee they do not have on the shelf at least 2 or 3 items you want.... today, fresh pasta and dried Parmesan. Why, not really exotic? If however exotic is what you want, you'll find it no matter how obscure. Happens every day. Freshly squeezed orange machine, why do they bother? Either no oranges, no bottles, both or, staff dismantle it at 4:30pm for an 8:00pm close! The Deli counter is the same, the management allow the early closure of these, why? No way can you call in after work and get what you want. I suspect that at 8:01 the store is evacuated because they effectively cease the business of being a supermarket hours before. All a shame because they are a local family business and the prices you can stomach when there is quality. They should concentrate on getting the basics right first, stock the shelves, don't start the closure process by 5pm. The tiny convenience Morrisons down the road is far more professional in what they do. For a business that wasn't really needed (or wanted), I don't get it. If I wanted a deli I can go to Turners or Bistro7. Be a supermarket!!!!

This is now our GO-TO cafe in Barrowford since the coffee is always excellent, the service usually good and the airy atmosphere always superb. Granted there is only a limited choice of food and a small selection of hot food would greatly improve the place, but the staff are always helpful and the cold food they do provided is always fresh and good value. Finally the BOOTHS card makes it very reasonable with free drinks.

Have been several times, usually had toasted teacake or one of the lovely cakes! They also do toasted and normal sandwiches. Freshly made coffee is very good. Top tip, get a Booths loyalty card and the coffee or tea is free when you buy some food

My wife and I use Booths Supermarkets from time to time and have visited nearly all from Knutsford to Keswick over the years. This is a new site so we decided to have a trip out and visit. We must say that we were disappointed. The store was smaller than anticipated and the car park was not easy to navigate from the main road. To enter the store you had to push a trolley across the access road which was on an adverse camber causing said trolley to steer downhill.The quality of goods on show was as Booths always are...good. The major problem, and one to which many queue members made comment, was the checkout area. The 4 conveyor tills were unmanned, whilst the 4 basket tills were eventually fully manned. But it is difficult to empty a trolley and load bags at a basket till. Why were there no conveyors in use? Most annoying. Disappointed in the cafe when comparing others in the group, say Penwortham or Burscough. Hopefully till strategy will improve as I believe Booths to be one of the best Supermarket chains in the North.

Often use booths cafes as we get free coffees with our loyalty card always great coffee better than Costa's and other high street brands .This was our 1st visit to barrowford store which is a new one .Service was so friendly it was obvious that the rest of the customers where regulars as we would be if we lived nearer.Had a carrot cake which was the 'cake of the month' and my husband had a toastie sandwich both were fresh and delious and our lattes did not disappoint .News papers supplied for customers and a little kids area as well as a cook book sales corner , I would call again and would feel comfortable eating alone in this cafe Big thanks to the barrowford cafe girls ...

Will always tend to drop into booths for a light bite and drink. First impressions; impressed with the space, lighting, and general ambiance. Food or lack of it on the given menu, the lack of choice. Ended up with just a coffee and muffin. The coffee wasn't that good tasting. At the time just after 3pm only one person serving, which did become two later....but the queue and waiting around when there is just the one coffee machine. I hope things develop here as would quickly hit off but with such limitations....better local places to go.

Really average. Coffee from a machine- watery not good quality. Had a cheese and ham toastie- bland and artificial tasting- produce here should be homemade not mass produced and bought in. Disappointing.

The cafe is very bright, airy and spacious. The service was good. Unfortunately my friend had to go back down to the shop in order to get her free drink with her Booths card because she didnt want to eat something as we were only meeting for a coffee and a chat.

Booths supermarket has now been open for 4 months and the cafe is a welcome addition. If you have a Booths card the coffee and tea are free if you buy food to go with it. There are sandwiches, biscuits and cakes available throughout the day and delicious soup is available at lunchtime.The cafe itself is really comfortable.and the windows overlook Barrowford park. There is a small children's play area and a lovely gift shop next to the cafe. I must admit I have been visiting the store and cafe about 3 times a week it is so convenient. It is so spacious that it is possible to take push chairs in without bothering other customers.

This cafe is great the coffee I drink black a good test of quality. A tea you will get a good sized teapot with more than enough for a good second or even third cup.The place is impressive clean plenty of space and alternative seating.The staff both in the cafe and in the shop are outstanding. Add to this the excellent quality of Booths all departments. Top marks for this real asset to the area

I've visited booths twice over the last month both times enjoying the food and the service. The first time was a busy rainy lunctime where we found a nice comfy spot with a superview to enjoy the tomatoe soup with the fantastic booths bread!! The second time I got a bacon tea cake and my free hot drink and went upstairs to enjoy the atmosphere of the cafe! My scone was soon honenfor desert!! The ladies in the cafe do a fanatic job and couldn't be more accommodating. Cleanliness is top drawer and prices more than reasonable for the quality of food. Will defo be visiting any lunchtime I'm in the area!!

the cafe in this supermarket is one up than the rest thw whole of the top floor in booths is dedicated to a huge cafe and a wonderful cook and book shop , where i found lots of interesting different utensils and cookery books for all my kitchen needs and reasonably priced aswell the cafe doesnt serve main meals but it does serve a gorgeous soup of the day and plenty of hot snacks and sandwiches which were perfect for my friend and i who visited after a long walk on the park opposite which you can see beautiful views of the park from the huge windows , we sat on the sofas next to the window which were luxurious we had the best coffee i have ever tasted which were actually free because im a booths card holder , so that was a bonus staff very efficient even though it was a busy day all tables were clean and clear

Only soup and sandwiches . We were a bit disappointed when we found out they didn't do hot meals but we decided to stay. Glad we did. The quality of the soup, sandwich and coffee was top notch. The cheese and ham on the sandwich was not only plentiful but excellent quality . The prices were more than reasonable . The coffee was the best we've had for ages by a country mile. Standard 2 shots in the Americano but only 20p for an extra shot on top. Staff were efficient and friendly and the toilets are state of the art and very clean. Had a look round the shop below too. Fabulous . Well worth the stop off.

So disappointed, we were looking forward to Booths coming to our village but the cafe is a joke and not for the faint hearted. One coffee machine + one till + a queue of customers = chaos.Even worse than that - if you want orange juice it is not on sale in the cafe - you have to go downstairs, find it, queue, pay for it and bring it back upstairs. If you want a bacon or sausage sandwich/roll ( a staple for breakfast in my opinion) guess what you have to go downstairs, find it, queue, pay for it and take it back upstairs!. A RIDICULOUS system, if I go to a cafe I want everything that I want in one place at one time and handed to me in a timely fashion. At 9.10am one Saturday morning (cafe opens at 8am and presumably a busy day) there was no bread for toast, so we gave up. However, when we went downstairs to see where the orange juice stall and the hot food counter were, there was juice but no hot food available. Booths has a reputation better than this but they ignore customer concerns and comments. We won't be frequenting here again. There are better cafe's and in the village only 1 minutes walk from Booths that deliver better food at one time in one place.
