M&S Simply Food

This location has developed a very inconsistent nightime open or closed routine just lately (December 2022). I regard the BP shop at Boreham as a vital location for the night time economy of Chelmsford for night workers like myself etc who rely on the generally good services offered here i.e. some middle of the night groceries, some doughnuts (;-)), use the toilets or a coffee on the go. However these days it's now pot luck whether the shop is actually accessible or not in the middle of the night particularly mid week. It's simply not good enough. If it's due to staff shortages the shop isn't open at night anymore then that's down to bad management as far as I'm concerned. No point asking at the night pay window cashier to get items from within the store as you can't browse and many items I purchase here are available some days and not on others. There has been several occasions when the whole station is closed and you can't even buy fuel which is s ludicrous situation for a so called 24 hour facility. What should be noted this the only service station store open in the middle of the night in the Chelmsford area that you can rely on being accessible however that is no longer the case. Many workers finish in the business park vicinity at 2am for example not to mention the truck drivers in the adjacent truck park who may want to purchase some shopping late at night after a long shift or patrons of the Premier Inn Hotel. This is so frustrating after driving for miles and miles like I do for a living because you know the BP Boreham shop will be open and there for you in the middle of the night but when you get there.. it's not. Sort it out BP. Either you're open at night here or your not. You are losing a lot of customers, not to mention revenue and reputation.

(Translated by Google) A good option on Bank Holiday holidays when all the supermarkets are closed. A little more expensive than a normal m&s, but it's quite big and has the basics and more. It has gotten me out of some trouble . Attached to the BP gas station, the place is quite hidden but you can park without a problem. The staff how in all the s&s more than correct even though it is very busy. (Original) Una buena opcin en das festivos de Bank Holiday que estan todos los spers cerrados. Un poco ms caro que un m&s normal, pero es bastante grande y tiene los bsicos y ms. A mi me ha sacado de algn apuro . Adosado a la gasolinera BP, est bastante escondido el sitio pero puedes estacionar sin problema. El personal cmo en todos los s m&s ms que correctos aunque este muy concurrido.

Tidy and convenient although the prices seem to be quite inflated. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
