What do I want from Booths?

[birkenstocks4ever]

We're on holiday in the Lakes til Monday and I'm going to visit Booths for some nice stuff to take home. Never been before so any recommendations? We like ALL the food 😁

Cheese counter is good, also I often get relishes like chilli jam there which other supermarkets don't have

A butter pie

Have a browse along the Cheese Counter.
Lathams cakes, especially the cheesecake if they have any (I have never tasted anything so divine as the lemon cheesecake).

We’ve just come back from Keswick and Booths was one of two supermarkets. It was absolutely heaving and at about 5:30 each day there was a queue outside the shop to get in. And it was incredibly overpriced and under stocked. You’re far better off going to some of the farm shops.

Not necessarily from Booths but dark chocolate tunnocks!!

White fox cheese

If you are leaving the Lakes via the Kendal side then worth stopping off at Sizergh Barn for nice things to take home. Gins, cheese biscuits, cheese counter again….. They did do marvellous cakes but didn’t have much when I went last week, hopefully they have restocked. They have an indoor cafe and serve at tables outside too now.

We’ve just got back from Windermere, no queues at the Booths there at all. You want Yorkshire butter, all the cheese, and if you like beer take a look at the range, we picked us some unusual ones. Love Booths and wish we were nearer.

I’m old enough to remember Booths from back before they were a supermarket. My mother had an account there and they did home deliveries.

Lathams cakes!!!! Their chocolate fudge cake is amazing.

Lathams cakes. Lakes gin/liqueurs. Cheeses. Any amount of baked goods. Unusual beers. Local coffee eg Farrers of Kendal or Atkinsons of Lancaster.
Their barbecue packs are great.

Absolutely Atkinsons Coffee 👍

All of the above (😊) plus Yockenthwaite granola and any of the Lottie Shaw's ginger biscuits/parkin/cakes.

They’re duck spring rolls are amazing.

There 🙈

The small, individually wrapped local smoked brie from the cheese counter. I wish I’d brought more home. Worth every penny.

Argh their. Bloody brain

I may have to go to Booths cheese counter tomorrow now reading these 🤦🏼‍♀️

Just remembered another thing. If you get there around lunchtime they do an amazing hot beef sandwich on one of the counters! It's amazing. Really not good when I worked across the road from a Booths.

Butter pies, portuguese custard tarts, stotties.

cheese !!!!
and Atkinsons coffee

Family chicken pie!

And their lunchtime filled baguettes are lovely usually.

Sticky toffee pudding

Square crumpets

Everything. Last time I went in late summer /early autumn, they had massive quinces. I brought them back a bloody long way on the train & made quince jelly.
