The Artisan restaurant at Booths in Lytham, is a large airy space above the store, adjacent to the art gallery (oh yes, there's an art gallery in this branch of Booths too ... you don't get that in Asda...). The menu is nothing especially striking, and as you would expect, given the location and its association, seeks to be many things to many people. There is a fairly extensive breakfast section, which from 11.30 a.m. gives way to a fairly standard brasserie menu, drawing heavily on produce available on the fresh food counters of the store below. Which made it all the more odd to be told that they had run out of burgers. How do you run out of burgers when there is an extensive butchery counter, including various varieties of pre-made burgers, attached to the restaurant? But it's not all shop and serve: there's some real cooking going on too.
What a gem of a supermarket! The atmosphere is lovely and there is a lot of choice. Think more Waitrose rather than Aldi. The different counters offer a lot of choice. Maybe not to do your weekly shop if you are on a budget, (although we found some excellent bargains) but for a treat, this is the perfect place to visit.
Went here for breakfast. The food was good and freshly prepared, so it was worth waiting a few minutes for it to be brought to my table. Bacon, sausage, tomato, fried egg, beans, and hash brown. There's no real place for beans or a hash brown on an "English Breakfast" so 4 instead of 5 stars.
