Waitrose

Nice store and you can always get through the till quickly because it’s quite expensive so not everyone shops there. However, on checking your bill you do find that you are paying a premium for the nice surroundings. Good quality fruit and veg and also the chiller cabinets have more imaginative cook chill meals than the run-​of-​the-​mill supermarkets. Good parking although it gets busy in the half hour before mums collect the kids from school.

Never have Willy’s Wonky chocolate bars in whenever I visit!

This store is lovely to shop in. The store is well laid out and easy to find your way round. Even in busy shopping times the shop never feels cluttered, and there is always a quiet calm atmosphere (however, this may mean this isn’t the best place for a big shop with children.)
The food is fairly expensive, but on the whole is very good quality, and worth it when you want to treat yourself.
There are usually very good reductions on any short-​dated food at the end of each day, definitely worth a look!
The staff are friendly and polite, and are helpful when you are looking for something.
Due to the cost, maybe not the best place to do your full supermarket shop, but a great place to get some lovely quality extra items

This store is handy is you are driving, as they have a good car park and it is centrally located, however if you are on food or using the train, it is a bit too long of a walk from the station. The range is great and the shop is kept clean and tidy — you feel like you are in a good quality supermarket rather than a budget place. They have a great range of fresh food and the ready meals are great as they are not too expensive. Fresh food does tend to be more expensive, but the quality is worth it.

If this place were a little bigger with a bit more stock it would gain the full 5 stars. I can’t fault the quality of its products as they are consistently good. The ready cooked meals are fantastic and the wine section outstanding for a supermarket. And as someone pointed out you can pick up a few bargains here if you look.
The slight negative is that I can’t do a full shop here as there simply isn’t enough stuff available. With 3 children I find I can’t buy everything I need from this Waitrose even though it’s a pleasure to shop here.

Although on average more expensive than a lot of supermarchés, if you keep your eyes peeled you can still get a bargain here (at the end of the aisles).
Apaprently it also smells nice in the morning when Steve walks past on his way to work. By nice he means ‘of bread and that’.
Clean, well laid out, friendly and helpful staff, and when I can’t work the label machine thing in the cake bit, someone is always on hand to rescue me discreetly without making me look retarded.
My mum also said they are one of the only shops where you can buy roasted peanuts (not the DRY roasted ones you get in the pub). Apparently that’s important.
