The company are becomming ever more misleading with their promotions and signage.
Then when you tell them they dont explain just shrug at a shop level and the supposed customer services also don’t explain just say take it back for a refund.
Super poor service sadly gone downhill

Farmfoods is an inflation buster

Farmfoods is an inflation buster ! Excellent experience today with newly washed potatoes a fraction of Waitrose but completly smashing it.
I have had problems with a couple of staff in the past but as they were not their today it was fantastic and didn't feel threatened. Best supermarket for choice and price, but their stocks do go down due to the amazing value.

Dissapointed.

I have been using Farmfoods for a while now and have never had reason to complain. A good selection of food with varying prices.
Unfortunately I am now buying less than I use to do due to a change in their meat products.
It seems now that most of the meat and meat products are now stamped suitable for Halal diets.
I am sure in some parts of the country it may be that this suits large amounts of people.
However this is the United Kingdom, therefore how is it we no longer have a choice about how the animals are killed as long as it suits Halal.
Our choice should come first with maybe a smaller selection of Halal meat to suit certain religions.
I find that Farmfoods have not respected the British choice, instead joined in with the conversion of our great country.

Hi Philips

Please rest assured that Farmfoods has a huge selection of products available for those who follow a strict halal diet and those who do not also. Animal welfare is a priority for Farmfoods. All our suppliers meet or exceed all UK regulations for animal welfare and are visited by senior members of our team to confirm these standards are in place.

Our full halal statement can be viewed on our website.

Awful parking

Products are cheap but parking is awful. Got a ticket for shopping, first they want evidence that we were shopping at the moment with kids when provided receipt and bank statements they said insufficient evidence we shopped more than 100 pounds that day but still they made excuse and charged for parking for few minutes over time. Pathetic parking and customer service

Hi Isra

I'm really sorry to hear that you received a parking fine in one of our shops. The parking management is a separate company to us, but we do work closely with them. Given this, I'd like to look into this further for you. If you could contact our Customer Services team, quoting your reference (899387JC) with the details from the fine included, I'd be happy to look into how I can assist.

I was in the feltham branch

I was in the feltham branch
Was impressed with the prices, deals and the planning of the shop .
I got to the till and had forgotten my bag from my car
I informed the cashier I was going to get it
As i returned to the shop a worker was on his way out because he got told I'd run out, I was not happy as
It made me feel like I was doing something wrong
I am of colour and felt targeted because of that
I told the cashier where I was going she should of relayed that to the other worker
I was being stared at by other customers, very overwhelming.
Please advice you workers not to be so judgemental next time

Whilst we do open some of our shops at 10:30 for a browsing period before beginning serving at 11am, I can only apologize for any inconvenience this would have caused.

Brilliant customer service

I have been shopping at the Walsall Bescot store for years and l have always found the customer service there to be of an extremely high standard. On several occasions, staff have gone above and beyond to deliver exceptional support to me. This is often in the face of busy environments and trying customers!

Good Halal Food Section

Increasing using Farmfoods instead of other supermarkets. Generally cheaper prices, and they've got a good halal food section, and discount scheme.

Terrible service

One staff, around 20yo male, always rude during till. Always being cheeky to 40 year old men etx. Threw the thing down onto the conveyor belt. When I seen their face feel like walk out but I wont be turfed out

Many terrible experiences

Also the store is usually messy when its them but not other hardworking staff

They are chatty to all the little girls but angry to customers and should be quiet

It would be zero stars if possible

Feel like being dealt with and spoken to in an offhand and couldn’t care less attitude? Shop at Farm Foods Northwich.
Feel the need to have shop floor staff argue with you in relation to the above and continue to do so even though you are no longer in the same aisle? Shop at Farm Foods Northwich.
Want to hear the manager laughing when the member of staff above tells him the customer is going to complain? Shop at Farm Foods Northwich.
These events took place during 29/06/25 at 14.15 at a time when the store was virtually deserted, I wonder why?
