Sooooooooooo expensive. Why people don't just go to one of the many supermarkets in town?

My mother went here to top up her gas and electric, firstly they said her electric card wasnt working (it does in everywhere else however) but that was fine so she just topped up the gas. When she got home it hadn't gone on, she went to enter the code on the receipt to activate the top up manually but found she'd been given a transaction receipt and not the one for the top up. She then proceeded to call the shop and politely ask if they could check it their end or provide her with the code she needed. The store denied. Simply telling her to call her provider and that they'd done it all correctly, even though we hadn't said anything of that nature, when she pointed out that she hadnt received the top up receipt they refused to check the transaction had gone through correctly or reprint the receipt or offer any help at all. I work in retail and understand how entitled customers can be, yet i listened to the entire conversation and at no point we're they accused/disrespected or spoken to badly, and still even after being perfectly nice they did nothing to help. Poor customer service. Poor attitudes.

Just had a revamp, large store has pretty much everything you could need without having to visit a large supermarket. Clean shop and friendly staff in newly rebuilt local estate in basildon (craylands). Also has atm outside and automatic doors for wheelchair access. A Few parking spaces are nearby and large pavements out front and alongside. Very easy access via numerous roads into and around craylands and Whitmore way and the dual carriageways.

Nice and clean and well stocked, very expensive unfortunately. There's alot of dodgy looking men hanging around out side, but they are not as scary as the children that play near the cash machine that doesn't like dispensing your money.

Not very pushchair- or wheelchair- friendly, but usually good service otherwise. The shop often has lots of decent special offers and the staff are usually helpful if you need assistance with finding something. If a product is unavailable, they are sometimes able to order it in, so be sure to ask. Would definitely recommend this shop, but hope they are able to make it more accessible in the near future.

The staff are always helpful friendly and efficient. Ellie and Becky are polite and always welcome customers with a smile. Good range of quality products and well assigned within the shop. During the current crisis the whole team have been pulling together with the community to provide essential provisions. A hidden gem of a shop 👍

Its local but that really is the only thing this shop has to offer. Overpriced and often out of date stock. Overcharge and often try to short change you. Out of stock, wrongly priced, and poorly stored goods. Rude staff. Avoid.

Nice shop but, service is terrible. Every time I go in there the damn cashier is on the phone. Theres always a couple of owners/managers walking around and just snub you when you ask to get past or get to an item. Customer service - non existent.! Manners costs nothing!

Staff are always tip top but it is very expensive but it's all down to how bad you want it! The staff often warn me about some of the products and warn me about the extra charge but when you need it I suppose you gotta have it, no complaints at all really.

Was empty when we came in but soon filled up, the 2 waiters struggled. We felt rushed when ordered as the waiter kept saying yes yes yes straight after we told him each thing we wanted. We waited 1 hour for the food and then just left and couldn’t get hold of the waiter and then when we did he said yes your next but then forgot to come back we just wanted to order more drinks but unfortunately couldn’t. Once I managed to get his attention for the 3rd time 2 hours after we came in, he came over and asked what dessert we wanted and we said we don’t know as still waiting for a dessert menu he said they are on the back of the kids drawing sheet but we said we wanted an adult menu. He then said he would come back and we finally got his attention another 30 minutes after that. By that point our young children were becoming very restless and just wanted their ice creams. Another 50 minutes passed before I asked about the desserts and he said they won’t be a minute no they were another 15 minutes for desserts !!!!! We spend nearly 4 hours in there for lunch for 4 of us. Don’t go here if your in a hurry

Was greeted on arrival by Courtney whose service, friendliness and knowledge of, well everything, helped me make the best of my stay in the UK. Special thanks also to David, Angie and Sophie who went the extra mile to meet my food needs and to chat to me as I was travelling alone this time. The hotel team worked excellently together and no small detail was overlooked. Extra care was paid to cleanliness of the room and in the restaurant. It was all extremely professional yet friendly and personal. I have never experienced this before and will go back there on account of the staff. Thank you all x
