When I think of Waitrose, I think of Heston Blumenthal and King Charles.
And after my first ever visit to the supermarket, that hasn't changed, only now I also know where I can pick up some venison and caviar when I am in a culinary bind.
When I first walked into Merseyside's only branch in Formby, I was struck by how quiet it was. I am unsure if this is a feature of Waitrose or just the time of the week I chose to visit - a Wednesday evening, if you want to avoid the crowds.
