Booths Christmas book

[Letsgotospain]

Booths are releasing their Christmas book on 18th October! The start of my Christmas is sitting down and dreaming of getting everything in it.

@DerektheWonderdog, yes, small supermarket, most shops in Lancashire and the Lakes, known as the Waitrose of the North.

My faves are the cheeses, pies, wine and the stollen. 🤤

We buy loads of cheese and the deli salad mix as definites!

lotusbell I'm actually looking to Rightmove at houses in Lancashire 😁
But, excuse the stupid question ..... do you have Waitrose too? Or is there a Booths/Waitrose - North/South divide?

Yeah, there is Waitrose too! Or there is near us, but we're Merseyside / Lancs border.

We do have waitrose too, theres one near me in Chester.

We have a special Christmas trip to Booths. I disagree that Waitrose is better. Makes Waitrose look like Nisa. A work colleague presented me with the Christmas book with great ceremony last year.
I feel like a Dickensian Christmas urchin when I go.

Not as many Waitrose branches, no. I'm Lancashire/Greater Manchester border and nearest Waitrose, apart from motorway service station, is nearly 10 miles away, in Preston. There is a distribution centre nearby too.

I have more Booths than Waitrose, and Booths is nearer.

We go to the knutsford one, theres a definite "vibe" there. We once saw a man walking around with a brace of pheasants.
I didn't know you could buy their stuff on Amazon though.

Bellini, that's how I am too!

No delivery this year....

In order to satisfy customers with the quality and service they rightly expect from Booths, we have taken the difficult decision to not offer nationwide delivery for Christmas 2019.
There are a number of reasons for this. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day fall early in the week, making it difficult for suppliers to arrange delivery over the weekend.

But I live close enough

I'm in Wales and have never even heard of Booths until recently!! Super jealous

I've got a Booths 3 mins away! No Waitroses up here though - I'm in Cumbria. No need for Waitrose if you have Booths though. No John Lewis nearer than Manchester though .

Shame they're not offering nationwide delivery.

@lazylinguist good excuse for a trip to see the big tree at the Trafford centre though

They are terribly terribly exclusive dewnchta know.

Could I get Xmas book by post? I’m up north but about hour away from the nearest store.

Ooh yay! I'm 5 mins from a booths i feel sorry for all you southerners. My nearest Waitrose is also the Preston one which is 30 mins away but I think I've only been twice as there's no need when I have several booths within 20 mins of me.

@greenlynx, no, they used to post them but don't now. There's the online version as linked above, or I don't mind posting one to you.

Are prices similar to Waitrose?

Yeah. Prices are quite similar. And their yellow sticker reductions are bloody brilliant if you catch them right!

We mostly go for cheese and beer as they have a great selection, including an Icelandic beer DH likes.

[whisper it] there is even cheap "value range" stuff.

But it's soooo lovely. Real old school posh Lancashire. Which will mean nothing to you if you have never seen the world of old school posh Lancashire.

@bellinisurge never even been to Lancashire. But really want to now lol

I'd suggest Clitheroe as a reference point but it might have "gone downhill " since I was there as my mum would say.
