The MacMaster takes a trip to Booths Supermarket in Ulverston a chain of high-end supermarkets in Northern England. It has been described as the "Waitrose of the North" by sources such as The Daily Telegraph. Booths Cafe is renowned for their quality and the produce it serves along with their famous coffee. Their Big Breakfast is apparently the best Full English Breakfast that you will find in a supermarket. Here's my review of Booths Supermarket Cafe Full English Breakfast. Yet another overpriced posh cafe restaurant taking our hard earned money off us and serving us complete and utter godawful food. Booths you should be ashamed of yourself.
