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

I just love the calm atmosphere and buying cheese wrapped in brown paper!

@NoWordForFluffy omg that's my idea of heaven. The closest thing I could possibly get to that is a farm shop I guess

Clitheroe is still lovely, lots of independent shops and cafes, and the August food festival is foodie heaven.

I love the entrance way in Booths, there's always a seasonal display of fruit and veg in big baskets, with lots of flowers. Or a selection of wine or gin displayed on a big barrel. It's always full of textures and tempting things.

I live a minute’s walk from a Booths and whilst I shop there almost daily, I honestly don’t get the hysteria over it. There’s far too much plastic packaging, and very little organic meat.

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2019 10:08

Who's hysterical? We're just saying we really like it. Hyperbole, much?

We love the Booths cafe (afternoon tea for two only £12.50 if you have a Booths card) .I don't generally eat sausages but I love Booths thin pork . They closed our local branches unfortunately ,despite opening their first ever branch here, but we are still an easy drive from a couple of the bigger shops.

Ooh thanks OP, you've just reminded me to get an new Booths card ahead of the annual, "Who lost the Booths card?!" argument.

It was him.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 28/09/2019 10:31

Argh I lost the Booths card!

supadupapupascupa · 28/09/2019 10:31

I hVent read most comments. Just signed up to the ebook. It says no national delivery this year at the bottom of the page

Ilikesweetpeas · 28/09/2019 10:35

I love Booths! I’m lucky enough to live near 3 stores. Prices mean it’s not my “go to” for basics but for quality cheese, meat and deli items its great it. In fact going now for breakfast Smile

OctopusNow · 28/09/2019 10:50

You bastard, @BobbinThreadbare123!! Grin

Sn0tnose · 28/09/2019 12:27

I’ve only just discovered Booths in the last couple of days and signed up for the catalogue, so I’m more than a little bit sad to see they won’t be delivering this year. I feel cheated!

RenardeRenarde · 28/09/2019 13:13

Yay! Can’t wait for the books to come out, it’s the best part of Christmas. I’m in Clitheroe so Booths is ruinously convenient :)

GrimDamnFanjo · 28/09/2019 14:01

Booths lover too. It's the highlight of my DHs Xmas to collect the order on Xmas eve. Love the local produce.
We have had a 3 bird roast for the last couple of years and I fancy some of the desserts this year for ease...

Defenestrator · 28/09/2019 14:08

We get our meat from Cranston's and the rest from Booths. We're very privileged. We spend a fortune on food but by heck it's good

AuntieMarys · 28/09/2019 16:23

The Ilkley one is wonderful...overlooked by the moors. It's like shopping on holiday.
The gin selection.....

BobbinThreadbare123 · 28/09/2019 17:01

I know! Sad

I live within less than 30 mins of four Boothses so I can get another card easily.

cccameron · 28/09/2019 17:19

I'm in the north west and have just discovered there's a Booths about 12 miles away which I didn't know about. Exciting news Grin. I think ill drive over with my mum tomorrow and pick up a Xmas book.

We have a couple of Waitrose nearby but they're not comparable are they? Nice enough place to do a weekly shop but nothing to write home about.

bellinisurge · 28/09/2019 17:24

@AuntieMarys , I usually go to the Knutsford one for my Christmas treat. The one in Ilkley sounds fab.
I'm a total urchin when I'm there but it's soo lovely just to visit.

thisgirlcanmoveon · 28/09/2019 17:28

Got to love that DD has chosen to go to university in Lancaster. I have volunteered for the Christmas pick up . I knew i had children for a reason .

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2019 17:30

@cccameron, don't go tomorrow, the Christmas book isn't at yet, as per the OP.

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2019 17:30

Out, not at.

Woodlandwitch · 28/09/2019 17:31

I love our yearly trip up north around Christmas just for the booths Christmas book!

AthelstaneTheUnready · 28/09/2019 17:43

ohhhhh, Cranstons, Defenest. Their meat is something else.

I have kept all my Booths Christmas books, they're just so comforting. Am a bit too far north now to go at all often, but will be visiting down south fairly soon so a double trip to Penrith's Booths & Cranstons will wipe out the budget for the next two months.

cccameron · 28/09/2019 17:51

Thanks NoWordForFluffy Ill leave it a few weeks
