Sainsbury's in Castle Point

Popped in for argos to buy some gifts and came out with a bag of grocery. Lovely big shop, I had a quick nose at some of the clothes etc on display. Parking spaces were plenty especially the disabled which I use. Always nice to visit

What can you say? Everyone knows what Sainsbury's is like.

Lots of vegan friendly products.

A very nice experience shopping today, helpfull staff, no waiting to checkout.

Not enough tills open if don't want self service won't go o there again

We had a delivery today slot 9.30 t0 10.30. We have to say your delivery driver was fantastic. Above and beyond helpful. He greeted us with the loveliest smile. He loaded all my bags for me too save my back. He was the most helpful and loveliest and nicest driver weve ever had. Please pass this on. Thanks

We allways do are big shop there 👍 good value.

Large supermarket. There are 2 carparks. The one in front of the store, which is usually busy and one on the roof, located up the ramp to the side of the store. Found the shopping to be more expensive than my usual supermarket and did not enjoy some of the own brand products that I would usually purchase from other supermarkets.

I purchased everything on my shopping list. The only complaint I have is that I fancied a little snack on the way out .... £3 minimum spend on a bite size snack isn't what I'm willing to spend. Tesco has a snack size pack with apple slices, grapes, and a cheese portion for under £2.

Sells everything! Lovely clothes here, especially for children.

Plenty parking got various fashion, groceries, household and even electronic in one place

Very good store with integrated Argos, large car park, generally able to find a space. Wide range of goods stocked, and some very good Nectar offers.

Great team there and all very polite

Who doesn't love Sainsbury's...

Not enough tills open to dear. Empty shelves. Wont be back

It's a while since I've been to sainsbury it seemed very muddled like they are trying to stock to much in not enough space. And as for taking away the tills with staff I will be giving them a wide range end of November and ALL DECEMBER those stupid self service tills will be a nightmare !!!! STEER CLEAR , ELAINE TEDHAM

Very high prices but I like the fact the lack of renovations has kept a nostalgic 1990s supermarket vibe.

Visited here around 8pm at night and not one manned till open, asked for a staff member to open till and they said "there's only two of us on the shop floor, you'll have to use self service", this is appalling. Sainsbury's needs to start putting more staff on the shop floor, keeping tills open until it closes, not a happy customer!

Big super market, everything you need in there .

Same as every other Sainsbury's

Had breakfast and hot drink in restaurant. Pleasant experience. I bought a few items , good value.

Clean, but just really annoying that they never ever have enough people on the tills. It's so much longer queues than Aldi and this is really putting me off from coming here. EDIT: QUEUES GET WORSE AND WORSE EVERY TIME I'M HERE, I GIVE UP, GOING TO A DIFFERENT SUPERMARKET UNTIL THEY START GETTING ENOUGH PEOPLE ON THE CHECK OUTS!!!!!

Quality food, reasonable prices, well informed staff. Docked off a star as at the moment there are a lot of empty shelves, hearf

Good shop - big car park, large choice of groceries, home and wear, and other services inside, pus a nice café

Check out is the worst in any supermarket Self checkout no good for old people and need more service checkout

Everything I needed in one place staff very helpful and friendly. However do not agree with the non enforcement of face coverings

I have been shopping at the Rayleigh Weir store for over 30 years but as loyal customer I’ve had enough. On a Friday afternoon there were two tills open with huge queues weaving into aisles. Customers arguing because they felt people were pushing in. I do not want to use self service tills for a large shop. Today the self service tills had numerous customers waiting with red lights flashing awaiting assistance or overrides. Employ more staff to operate the tills!!! With so many tills removed now in general I dread to think what it will be like at Xmas. I am taking my custom elsewhere!!

I calculated every price of every item we bought as we went along. I even took into account every Nectar sticker and I meticulously made sure that each sticker corresponded to each item. At the checkout till, the price came to more than the total I had calculated. And, no, we didn't buy bags. The cashier didn't know what to say, but it's obvious that the prices on the shelves do not match what's on the system. Be vigilant, and make sure you write down the items and their prices as you go along.

Not my usual place to shop. Didn't seem to flow and had difficulty finding things. Only bought half my normal shop. However, great custard donuts.

Quite big size shop. Clothes section Has lot of variety.

Often come here to pick up my online shopping. So convenient coming from Canvey. Always find the staff that help me.at the van helpful, friendly and polite. Car park area is tidy and the main store has a huge selection inside. Also a key cutting place on site if needed.

New self service checkouts have taken over. Queues horrendous if you want any service. Hopeless for the elderly or disabled. It's a shame as the products are good and staff on tills trying their best whilst having to take the flack from disgruntled customers. I will only shop there now if desperate.

Nice clean store. Laid out well. Prices good produce excellent

I THINK MANAGEMENT SHOULD HAVE OPENED MORE TILLS, WAITED AGES TO PAY, NOT GOOD

Easy access, and a good selection of items....has an Argos store as a bonus within the main store. However, the tills and staff are not as fast, or enthusiastic as say Tesco's

Excellent store,one of the best Sainsbury's I've visited.

Its local, normally empty in the morning

Never again first time and will be the last Not enough staff 😓

Visit weekly, on a weekday around 5pm and shopping, for someone that hates food shopping, is a breeze. Store is quiet and it's all hassle free. Good selection of everything you could want. Friendly helpful staff.

Always has the necessary items in my shop, but not necessarily in the right place, they seem to delight in shifting things around. If other customers are like me they don't bother searching they go elsewhere for items that are "hidden" by moving!

Very competitive prices, usually one of the best value for money in the local area. Pay at pump saves time. Plus get extra points on Nectar loyalty card. Clean and tidy forecourt.

Noticeably dearer with less till staff as my wife expeirenced 3 till closures causing her (and others) to wait over 12 minutes to pay

If You go early, it's all self service machines....which if getting a small amount is ok but more tricky if You getting lots of shopping.....

Easy to park and all facilities onsite including fuel, toilets (even an Argos) !

It's a supermarket where largely you serve yourself and if you use self-scan will probably have no interaction with staff. Sad in a way as a nice chat is always welcome. Overall though, they sell groceries and if you need groceries then this will fulfill your needs.

Very expensive getting worse by the day always running out of stuff, bakery very unreliable, barely any counter staff and slow to serve this company is giving poorer and poorer services all the time probably the most expensive store in the area apart from M&s in high street

Always sound, make sure you get your nectar points.

Needs more staff and better management , spent 20 minutes for a basket check on fast lane, 1 member of staff doing about 18 checkouts on fast lane most flashing red, kept doing our basket check and then wandering of to help other customers, then she could not do our coupon, by now shopping defrosted nearly, so I tried to speak to the manager, was told now one knew their name, Claire was asked but refused to pass on name of manager, finally found out she was called Vicky waited another 10 minutes and she did not even bother to turn up, sainsbury need to sort this out or lose customers lot of people we're complaining and waiting ages, not recommend this store at all I spoke to customer services on the phone and got offered 1000 points which is £5 for my 30 minutes inconvenience which is not even minimum wage. Come on Sainsburys a big company like yours should have done better than this.

It's another sainsburys a lot bigger section of clothes than most...especially women's (not my thing personally but it keeps the wife happy). For us blokes what makes it different...it has a roof top carpark! So gets 4 stars for that alone 😯😆

It's my local. Good for when you need something quickly.

The cafe' in Sainsbury's is great. I had fish and chips and it was lovely. My score for the staff and food is 9 💯

Good value fuel close to the A127

This is a large well stocked Sainsburys with a wide range of groceries, clothes, toys as well as being colocated with a Homebase. There is ample parking and a filling station.

Love the store. It's big, light and plenty of room. Staff on the fast tills are super nice. Lots of choice. Shame all of it is so expensive. If you've not been hit by the cost of living crisis, I recommend shopping here.

Shame about removing the changing room. I now don't bother buying clothes, as its a hassle to come back return them. Not enough staff on tills, always long queues.

This Sainsbury's is large, has a lot of easy to use parking, the produce is fresh and hasn't perished by being over chilled (over chilling is when the item is almost frozen, so when you buy produce like carrots, tomatoes, watermelons, etc they perish within a week or 2 and the flavour is missing, fortunately Sainsbury's doesn't tend to do this). However, the main issues are; * There are barely any staffed checkouts open and the self-service express lanes are not suitable for large trolleys, so the big shoppers must be going elsewhere. * Items are moved around a lot so you will need to search for items that you commonly buy, this is also confusing for the staff, because they say it was here but I will need to check if it's been moved or not in stock. * Food allergy/intolerant products are moved around and often put into standard product areas while being removed from food intolerant areas. I understand that this is for marketing purposes, so that people can try other products but genuine food allergies/intolerances don't allow for products containing restricted ingredients. You can advertise it in other in-store locations, but please ensure that it's duplicated into the free from areas.

Always friendly staff. Wait times can be a bit bad because of constant pumps out of fuel.

Good selection of products but need more tills open as the queues get very long!

It's a sainsbury.. toilets weren't the cleanest upon visiting.

Quite a large range of free from, I used the app so no waiting around when it was busy, sheens were well stocked

Great parking good variety of food clothes section good too

Just spend £162 plus on weekly shop then left the store to return home, and unfortunately encountered a bad driver working for Sainsburys who doesn’t know that you give way to drivers on your right on roundabouts , having tooted him he pulled side me as me why I had tooted so I mentioned that he should give way to drivers on his right. All he could muster was ‘twat’ , obviously Sainsburys at their best diplomatically , customer service no exists. Obviously forgotten customers have a choice of who we do business with!

Nice quick visit.Got everything I needed, good parking.

It's a Sainsbury's so you know what to expect. Good car parking as has raised roof parking at rear. Shame they dropped dressing rooms as found these useful. As usual in line with other supermarkets not enough main tills open so forced through self checkout area which is not ideal if you have lots. For me their clothes fit well so go more often for clothes.

I've been really impressed with my experiences at this Sainsbury's location. The handheld scanning option has made my shopping trips so much more efficient and enjoyable. It's incredibly convenient to scan items as I go and keep track of my total spend. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the store is well-stocked with a great selection of products. Highly recommend this Sainsbury's and it’s now my regular weekly place to shop.

Loaded with all sorts of produce Good size superstore

It’s Sainsbury’s- you know it’s good!

I really needed to speak to someone about picking up my click and collect! The phone system is insane I had to call about 7 times before I spoke to someone; they were in India ffs I will avoid Sainsbury from now on; disgusting!

If you like expensive products and long queues at the tills, this is the place for you!

Badly run store. Far better to go up the road to Basildon.

I like Sainsbury’s.. but it’s beginning to look a little tired .. and as with most supermarkets nowadays not enough staff .. apart from Tesco of course

Stock can be hit and miss sometimes, not enough staff to cater for those having difficulty at smart and self checkout. Dual pricing on nectar can be off putting

As always, the store delivers what you want it to. Thank you

Really good place to shop Staff so friendly

Reasonable sized store well stocked

Stock a large range of products, food, clothes, some electrical, nice store, argos are now in store, it's got a new cafe that sells a small range of meals and drinks

Good overall shopping experience. Staff were friendly and helpful. Also shopped in the Argos section of the store.

Big supermarket. Shop has had a bit of a change around, but same products on sale, just hit by the clothes section now as soon as you walk in. Friday at 8 not a great time to shop. Not much on fresh produce aisle. 4/10/23 good deals with Nectar card atm, certainly on Spirits.

Love Sainsburys, allways get extra necter pointes

As in area we popped in to get dinner. I also wanted to get a pair of jeans. Unfortunately they had very few styles and sizes, so I got nothing. Toilets could do with a deep clean!

VERY disappointed.. went in on Sunday at 3.10 .. just a few bits 7 items . Made it 2 check out by 3 45 .. till add closed sign but still operating. . Rude lady on till said I close at 4

Normally enjoy going to the cafe inside sainsbury s , rayleigh weir but omg today , 18.01.24 its was as cold inside the cafe as outside , food got cold extremely quick after being served .to us . So many other customers were also complaining of the cold and cold food . Really disappointed.

Staff on tills and shop floor are very good, however the till staff must be at breaking point. There were only two proper tills open with queues trailing up the isles. Everything seems to be concentrated on self serve. I think the manager needs to recognise that people want proper checkouts, and if they don’t start getting it at this store they will take their custom elsewhere

Good parking. Just popped in at the last minute for a pair of jeans! They saved my night out. Some good 'Martin Kemp' range of mens clothes for us older ones!

Great shop, bit pricey compared to Aldi and Lidl,

Condemned our autistic son and completely dishevelled his confidence... + too expensive

Just went for petrol...sadly a tree had fallen on a car in the petrol station. Shocking.

Good place to shop better than the Canvey branch

It would be a great shopping experience but even with big parking bays people still can't park.

Had everything I needed fast service from argos too

Remarkably quiet on Christmas eve afternoon.

Very clean and just a nice supermarket to walk round and very friendly and all food excellent

Good supermarket, but in a very busy area for traffic. Be prepared to get caught in queues.

Just like every other sainsburys

Very smooth moving in var Park and in store

Bus stop outside.car Park.Good inside.

Efficient and had all I was after

Normally don't do reviews but was made to feel like a criminal by security here for entering the store in my work clothes (body warmer and hat) sorry but it's freezing outside.... eyed up and down by woman security upon entering, didn't have what I actually wanted in store so I left empty handed which wasnt happy about, and of course walking out with nothing, you guessed it.. questioned by security in a rude manner and given dirty looks after I explained they didn't have what I wanted, normally shop in here weekly to and from work and even have weekly deliveries to home but shame that this particular security woman is a jobsworth.

Only used the cafe's 25 minutes to get 2 sandwiches and 2 tepid coffees

Friendly staff and relatively well laid out and clear
