With two big names ticked off, I wasn&#8217;t about to stop there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Next on my list was the biggest Morrisons in Merseyside which is the branch in <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/speke\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" rel=\"follow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Speke<\/a>.

Being in the area, I also took the opportunity to visit other shops nearby including the <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/whats-on\/whats-on-news\/visited-huge-new-charity-shop-32995126\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"huge new Cancer ResearchLink opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"follow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">huge new Cancer Research<\/a> shop, making the area a plus for a big shopping trip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Entering the shop I discovered the deli area with a salad bar, meat counter and other small snacks like samosas and sausage rolls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The meat counter it has to be said was quite uninspiring, and nothing in the salad bar took my fancy either. But it&#8217;s nice to see Morrisons adding a medium salad from the salad bar to its Meal Deal main selection for those who want something a bit more creative than a packaged sandwich. There was also a make your own pizza counter.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0_unnamed-2026-01-16T160819681.jpg\" alt=\"Morrisons' salad bar\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"Morrisons' salad bar\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Morrisons&#8217; salad bar(Image: Liverpool ECHO )<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Further on there was a bakery section with a selection of tasty looking loaves including Morrisons The Best Seeded Californian Sourdough (\u00a33).<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">As well as all the anticipated groceries you&#8217;d expect to find in store, this big branch sells homeware, electrical goods and clothing with aisles dedicated to glassware, bedding and towels. Electronics on sale when I visited included espresso machines, desk fans and mini dehumidifiers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The clothing on offer included men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s items as well as a large selection of kids clothing from Morrisons&#8217; Nutmeg range. When I visited there was everything from hats and wellies to jumpers and dresses as well as <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/news\/uk-world-news\/school-uniforms-change-four-million-31523598\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"school uniform clothing.Link opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"follow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">school uniform clothing.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0_unnamed-2026-01-16T160843569.jpg\" alt=\"Morrisons' Nutmeg clothing\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"Morrisons' Nutmeg clothing\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Morrisons&#8217; Nutmeg clothing(Image: Liverpool ECHO )<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However by far the best part of the Morrisons was its caf\u00e9. While the supermarket didn&#8217;t have much that you couldn&#8217;t find at an average supermarket in terms of groceries, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/whats-on\/whats-on-news\/visited-morrisons-cafe-festive-time-33036041\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"the caf\u00e9Link opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"follow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">the caf\u00e9<\/a> is a great addition to a shopping experience, offering somewhere to have a cup of coffee and sit down before the bus back to town.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">It was brightly lit and spacious with plenty of chairs available for me to choose from. To order you simply follow the canteen-style system, first walking past a fridge full of children&#8217;s meal deal items including sandwiches, snacks and juices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The menu selection included full English breakfasts, breakfast rolls, fish and chips, pie and mash, ham, egg and chips, tikka masala, lasagne and mac and cheese.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Kids mix and match meals were \u00a34 with options including fishfingers, veggie sausages, potato waffles and peas. There was also a table full of books and activities to keep kids entertained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Coffee and tea was self service, which made sense as a quick and easy way to grab a drink.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The Morrison caf\u00e9 also has windows that face directly out to where the bus stops so you can watch your bus roll in with a cup of tea, which is a huge plus considering it was a cold day and the buses are not always frequent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;d hurry back for a regular shop, after all <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/aldi\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Aldi Link opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"follow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Aldi <\/a>is my go-to. However, for shoppers visiting Speke Retail Park it is a huge plus having such a big supermarket to pop in to and the caf\u00e9 is a big win too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The supermarket is in a convenient location for shopping As well as groceries the big branch sells homeware,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":702260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,6082,246,11159,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-702259","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-reviews","13":"tag-shopping","14":"tag-speke","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115910895763553635","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=702259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/702260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=702259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=702259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=702259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
