This will sound ridiculous and like I have too much time on my hands but the chicken from Co-op is amazing, tastes so much better than anything I have tasted from other supermarkets or even the organic butcher - highly recommend and they quite often have good offers on making it pretty reasonable! Thought I would share :)


Perhaps we could also get a recipe suggestion chain going...

Think "really good" might be pushing it, I find the meat, especially, is poor quality and overpriced. On one occasion I bought meat that went off in the fridge prior to the use-by date so my experience is polar to what you guys n gals are suggesting. I wuld rather eat my socks than buy seafood from the co-op and have not tried the chicken but perhaps it is worth considering in an emergency. The fruit and veggies not only need improvement, they actually need stocking.


The local greengrocers and the meat from North Cross Road or Billy Rose are all fantastic and not really that different in price to any of the supermarkets, the co-op included.


Does anyone actually choose to shop in the co-op? wonders never cease.

Their Fairtrade Bananas, Chocolate etc are good value, the bread selection is getting better and two bottles of Spitfire for ?3 is okay with me.


Fruit & Veg - variable depending on when you go.


Pork, seafood/fish, definitely not.


@Foxy - try a 'Label Anglais' chicken from Sparkes on NorthX Rd market - they taste the way a chicken should.

I have had one of those from Borough Market.


They do not have much meat on them for ?14.00


Could not tell the diff. if blindfolded.


Fox..

I have to say that I have found the Co op (coop!) chicken 'truly irresitable' range to be quite horrid, and I never ate the breast I had cooked, and threw the 2nd breast away. Its William Rose for me - solely for the taste - not pretentions at using the shop like so many others.

Co op have their own farms and so do Morrisons. Waitrose have a farm in Herefordshire. It could be that these Supermarkets have greater control on their product quality.


Personally, I wouldn't dismiss Co-op food just because the brand isn't fashionable on this forum. All supermarket do some good food. The fun is discovering where they are.

Are you being Ironic or just ignorant ?

Twat.


Your mind reading powers are truly sensational that you, and you alone, know which of William Rose's customers use his shop for their tasty produce and which use the shop because they are pretentious. Can you spot them in the queue just by looking at them? Do they have a uniform? Hemp bags perhaps?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
