I went to one of the UK’s biggest M&S’ and it was shopping heaven – the Percy Pig aisle made my jaw drop
A FOOD enthusiast visited one of the biggest Marks & Spencers in the UK and dubbed it “heaven”.
Becky Bootana – who regularly shared videos of her shopping trips online – was left flabbergasted by the scale of the store.
It had a clothes department, beauty section and a food hall which Becky documented herself exploring on Tik Tok.
Beck’s standout was the mammoth food hall, which she was hilariously left speechless when she stumbled across the entrance.
Once in, she was excited to find her “first yellow sticker” of the day before even walking down one of the fridge aisles.
Becky also noticed how inclusive the food hall was – boasting a large “free from” section and hundreds of plant-based products.
She joked while walking around the shop: “My mouth has been open the whole time.
“I’m in shock.”
One standout from her trip was an entire aisle dedicated to Percy Pig and his friends.
There were iconic Percy Pig sweets, biscuits, cake mixes and disposable cutlery to have a party in the character’s honour.
The huge store, which is in London Colney, Herts, even stocked Percy Pig “blondie baking mixes” in a bottle.
They contain every ingredient needed to make Percy themed strawberry and white chocolate flavour brownie – you just empty the bottle into a bowl, add liquid ingredients and mix away.
The pink M&S mascot turned 30 last year, pushing the brand to ramp up their Percy products for his fans.
Becky was similarly blown away by a whole section of shelves dedicated to honey.
The M&S also had a huge beauty section, stocking makeup, skincare, perfume and loads of self care goodies.
Becky narrated: “Oh it’s amazing, oh it’s incredible.”
One of the shop’s most unique features was a wine tasting machine that gave out shot-sized glasses of wine for customers to try before they buy.
Becky, after tasting all four wines on offer, laughed: “Now we’ve had some free beverages, we’re now just out here in a huge M&S.”
She then took a trip to the crisp aisle which had a collection of interesting flavours – including chicken katsu and BBQ asian pork.
M&S’s London Colney store is 32,000 sq ft and the food hall was refurbished in December last year to take up even more of the shop floor.
