I wouldn't want it to be my only shop, but it is incredible value for a few things.
As for Lidl own label Whiskey, they do several own brands, Ben Bracken is fairly good still. It started off excellent - they bought up the unbottled barrels from a 'sold to the big boys' Scottish distillery - and sold for £16.99, what had been £78.00 in another bottle! I've got 3 of those left, but the current one is very drinkable.
The shops themselves are very inconsistent, Fishponds in Bristol and Whitworth Park in Manchester I know to be good. Longsight, Manchester is usually worth avoiding. They have a strange system all their own, but for selected items like Sm Trout, basic charcuterie, unbeatable, even compared to M&S. Good quality flour, butter and eggs are the cheapest around too.
