I used to think Waitrose had a monopoly, but it has a challenger that is fast catching up, if not beating it in some areas. The name?
Where it loses out is in wine, which it has at decent prices, but not the range of other UK supermarkets, and things like Soy sauce etc can be expensive. Nevertheless, the 100km bus trip is well worth it. If you are in France, do give it a try. French supermarkets are good anyway, but this one is getting a strong following.

Can’t really comment on the fish and meat part, but I’ve not seen a superket recently with a specific area where you are served sweets, nuts and other goodies by weight.Where it loses out is in wine, which it has at decent prices, but not the range of other UK supermarkets, and things like Soy sauce etc can be expensive.
