Morrisons Workington Cafe

Time for a quick update..... Popped in for a top up shop on a Saturday afternoon, the store was quite busy and combined with the restocking of the shelves, this made it feel quite chaotic and was rather difficult to navigate round! Called here for the first time on a Sunday afternoon for a quick shop, was quite busy. Well stocked store. My second visit was on a Friday evening. There is also a very well stocked gluten free section. The car wash at the petrol station is also very good for a reasonable price. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, a credit to Morrison's.

I'm giving Morrisons 5 stars for the selection of foodstuff and other items readily available. If it wasn't for this l could have, in good conscience, given 3 stars. Pre Pandemic the store was lively, bustling, a fine place to shop, eat, have a coffee etc. Nowadays given this chains rush to closing checkouts and possibly shedding the workforce into the bargain. l did not feel the vibe l once did. I used to enjoy the interaction with the workforce. Morrisons are not alone in this, all the big chains are doing the same which is sad. Happily there are a number of stalls selling fruit and vegetables on market day l frequent them more and more for the human interaction. Cash changes hands and you get a bit of crack too.

This is a Scottish company so expect the prices to be low and the produce to be fresh. Why would you go anywhere else for your fish fillets; mackerel, plaice, cod, salmon, herring? There is always a good selection of shellfish but never crab or lobster? I like their cafe. There is always a good menu at a good price. On the way home, don't forget to get some petrol or diesel. It is always the cheapest around!
