Tesco in Cherwell - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Ah, Tesco — the magical place where I go in for a loaf of bread and leave with a garden gnome, 14 cans of soup I didn’t need, and a vague sense of financial regret. First off, let's talk about the aisles. They're like a treasure hunt designed by someone who enjoys a challenge. Need milk? Sure, just walk past the cereal, through the pet food section, dodge a mountain of Pringles, and there it is—right next to the washing powder, because why not? The staff? Absolute legends. Especially the self-checkout machines. Those things are divas. "Unexpected item in the bagging area!" Really, Tesco? It's my own bag. But shout out to the human staff who swoop in like heroes every time I accidentally trigger a supermarket meltdown by trying to scan bananas. Tesco’s bakery is top-tier, but I swear, the smell of freshly baked cookies is part of their business model to trap you. You walk in thinking, "I'll just get a salad," and next thing you know, you're walking out with a six-pack of doughnuts and zero dignity. Prices are mostly good, especially during those legendary "Clubcard Prices" moments. It’s like playing the lottery, but with pasta sauce. Overall, Tesco is a wild ride. Come for the deals, stay for the chaos, and leave with at least three things you didn’t know you needed. Would recommend, just don’t expect to stick to your shopping list.

Good for a quick trip for one or two items.

Huge store, not always easy to find things (not too well structured). Do not use self service lanes - the system is an absolute nightmare. Even the staff agrees on this.

I hate the self scanning. After a customer scan their own shopping (do the job of cashier for free) need to wait for ages for somebody to remove tags but before tags are removed the customer is treated as a potential thief.

Tesco Extra is my go to shop for some things that can't buy elsewhere.

If you go there late at night make sure you don't get in the way of the shelf stickers.

worst Tesco experience in Europe. Period.

Drove all the way here specifically for 1 item and they had shut the upstairs of the shop early.

Nice store. Some female staff members openly talk poorly about customers whilst on the shop floor but there are also lovely staff members

I'm not sure what the difference is between "assisted" self-checkout and the regular kind, but it *did* have a moving belt to put the groceries on, and a larger than usual place to bag your groceries. Those made it much easier and less of a balancing act when you have a bunch of stuff. Store was clean and had wide aisles. Lots of selection, and I didn't see anything out of stock or out of place.

amazing shop lots of food and nice staff

It's a big tesco and definitely has a better frozen selection than it's competitor sainsburys. Tesco own Mediterranean vegetable pizza is probably the best frozen pizza I have ever had. It's only £1.65 too. I used to always shop here after midnight during the weekdays when it was empty. I did this for years before the covid lockdowns happened. With lockdowns they stopped being open 24 hours a day which basically made me stop shopping there. It's extremely rare I will come here these days. It's still a good shop but it's just too hectic for people like me in daytime hours. I like it empty at the early hours

As with all shops in the UK at the moment....prices have gone up over the last couple of years

That’s i do my weekly routine on the Monday morning with my 1to1 that help me with my mental health issues

OK, but nothing exciting and little pricer than other supermarkets in the area

I loath club card and most prices require using one.

Staff told me to pull my pants down to see if I was over the age of 16 so I could buy monster.

Quick in and out for bits.helpful staff

Some of the staff need to learn people skills or stop working in an environment where they are face to face with customers.

Like all supermarkets in the UK, there really has to be something outstanding about them now too earn a four or five star rating. There is nothing particularly spectacular about this branch of Tesco, but you will find everything you need here. Sadly, there is no delicatessen or fresh fish/meat counter. I think this is a real loss and Therefore I would generally choose other supermarkets that have this offering. We found the carpark to be particularly badly lit, which might be a concern for those who are partially cited or prefer better illuminated parking.

A security grabbed my son and shouted in his face nearly knocked him over and pulled him out the store fo looking at me if there was a zero star I would put that

Always pleasent and always has what I need

Stacked in the car park for hours! Avoid this Tesco if you can.

Reasonably priced coffee with complimentary non dairy milk. Shame there were no vegan items on the lunch menu, but there was a choice of vegan breakfasts.

Always good and I speak from 40 years running large out of town supermarkets(sainsburys and asda ) this place just delivers day in day out...okay the shop n go attendants could be more customer focused but its a bit of a boring job I suppose.

Got what I needed and great service.

Good range pleasant staff. Could do with a few more manned checkouts

Was waiting 15 minutes at self checkout just for them to approve a purchase, absolutely stupid only having one person on who doesn't know what there doing

Would like to say a massive thank you to the lady tonight on the bakery section. November 17 th I didn’t catch her name but I needed 4 bags of plain flour and she kindly got me them from the bottom shelf and I didn’t even ask her to . I really appreciated it

Good convenience, store to get just general bits and bobs

Hardly any stock and only 2-3 days date ending ready cook meals

Very big store has everything you need including cafe with very friendly staff

I was stopped in the store and asked out right did I pay for my item in front of the whole shop is degrading and I didnt even buy it, it was my daughter who had Purchased the item. What I dont get is why they thought I was stealing!. I shop there most days and never have i stole a thing. Checked receipt and not one apology from a member of staff...

Fantastic place, good workers in there,

Large store with plenty of stock. Difficult to find what your looking for. E.g Vegetarian refrigerated items will be in various places instead of just one fridge section. Toilets need updating.

Good place to shop for whatever you require.good food shop

Actually one of the better Tesco I've been to. Its my Local supermarket, has everything i need and more. Just catch it at the right time, when its busy its a nightmare . but that's the same everywhere

Such a pleasant shopping experience. Super helpful and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Damn fine supermarket, with the added feature of a real life water adventure outside every time we get more that it rains! Thrill to see boy racers with lowered suspension get their feet wet, shriek to see shiny 4WD vehicles get slightly grubby, laugh as electric vehicles stop dead as their batteries get shorted out. Truly exiting fun for all the family.

Thanks Tesco for having the Erdinger lager in stock you made me very happy.

Massive place, has lots of options to buy food and drink, clothing and electrical items, staff are friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable as to where items are. But, it can get really busy, and sometimes there isn't enough staff to clear the backlog of those waiting, the reason for the 4*. Highly recommended their delivery service also, which is an alternative to coming into the store.

Very good tesco, well stocked, very tidy seemed organised lots of workers in there keeping shelves and what not well presented.

Good place for shoppings. Good big parking with spaces for families nad disabled peoples store is equipe with good quality products for everyone. Never had a problem with shoppings there. Briliant

Likes the scan and shop options so you can just pack up as you go. Didn't realise the tiles were card only and had cash. Howe have been since and been told you can still do this and pay cash , and just take your machine to the cashier to scan so you can pay cash if you need to. Lots of stock. Evening staff very friendly and useful to talk to on the shop floor as well.

A huge store with large car park. Yet, it is a bit dark and cold inside. Better bring a jacket.

Delighted to see that Butcher's Choice sausages has come DOWN in price. I started buying these to feed a fox cub that visited the garden, it was getting very expensive so pleased at the price reduction. Thank you.

Helpful friendly staff,clean,well stocked store

Beautiful building, helpfull staff, take the club card for more discounts!

One tesco is much like another, lots of gaps on shelves

Having spent the last few days stuck at home with a poorly autistic 4 year old, I have had a very stressful few days. Today he felt a bit better, so we went to tescos for treats. I have never ever taken him out on my own as its so so stressful and I get dreadful anxiety. I took the plunge but was very nervous! He was really good, however he got a bit impatient at self checkout. THANKFULLY the absolute wonderful Vikki came over to help!!! I don't know how I would have managed without her!! She was so unbelievably helpful. Helped me scan items. Spoke to my autistic, nonverbal 4 year old to calm him down. Words can't even express how much Vikki made my week. Thank you Vikki (sorry if I have spelt your name wrong)

Not a bad little store it has most items you need

Not expecting much but service and breakfast was excellent.Cooked freshsmashed avocado on toast and poached eggs were first class eggs yolk runny as it should be. Ate in a restaurant previously wos breakfast was woeful. They couldn't match tesco service.

Busy but good selection of products

The constant picking of delivery orders during peak shopping hours is making this place a nightmare for those of us who use it for our regular shop. The huge picking trolleys block aisles and many of the staff doing the picking push in front of other shoppers, barging them aside and taking all the products (especially things like eggs and fresh fruit) before others can get at them. It makes it an increasingly unwelcome and frustrating place to shop.

Prepun sa svom robom. Velika guzva u prodavnica kao da se roba deli besplatno.

Use it all the time. One set of scanners have been out of use for months now.

Thank you for being so helpful about my home delivery when I had a medical emergency today. As I told the driver, it was the first thing to go right this week!

Got kicked out of the upper level as it was closing. It didn’t say anywhere that it was going to do that. 24 he my arz. Single handedly messed up Xmas

good.. excellent option e always shop at tesco at least once a week. Stopping at some Tesco is always a good choice. Inside there is always a space for coffee or tea. And there are also several TESCO EXPRESS

I waited 1/2 hour for 2 breakfast baps. At most there were 2 people in the queue at any time. I lost patience and asked for my money back and the incompetent waitress/ server was hostile, accusing me of being " ignorant". No effort to apologise. The coffee was good, the rest was woeful. Never again.

Its not our first time in the Tesco cafe, but it may be our last. Service was very slow and almost chaotic. Not even sure we got what we ordered. The staff swapped jobs all the time, never saw any hand washing duuring the swap overs and I have no idea why bacon roll takes 20 mins to cook.

So today we went to Tesco in Banbury and thought while we were there we would go have a drink and a bite to eat. We waited approximately 25 mins for the food and while waiting staff were taking trays off tables but they were not SANITISED afterwards. This is a must in the current situation we are in. I work in a cafe so I know how the cleanliness is a must and how when dealing with the customers face masks should be worn when not behind the screen but this did not happen. Fair to say was not impressed. Very disappointing.

Six customers in cafe three staff had to request refund after a 22 minute wait for breakfast. Supervisor explained they were short of staff

Worth a visit lots of things to buy. Plenty of parking. Coffee shop inside..clothes..and housing products ad well as food.

Ordered two breakfast bloomers for myself and my wife. The wife got undercooked bacon I had cooked sausages but obviously the cheapest that could be found. Both were served in 2 plain white slices of the worst bread I have ever tasted, I would have thought bloomer would be bloomer bread or at least a nice roll? Charged £2.50 for each which was a definite rip off. Needless to say I will not be going again. Absolute rubbish!

My son and I popped in at 09:30 for breakfast and were very pleasantly surprised with the standard of the food and the three (possibly new) staff that were very friendly and helpful. My son had the big breakfast and I had the normal one! Both very well presented with very well prepared food. Thank you

Harto de que en el trabajo me sugieran eso como comida típicamente española. ¿Porqué tesco prostituye la comida de otros paises? ¿No pueden simplemente copiar?

We visited Banbury looking at new cars , during the sales mans chatter I noticed in the distance a Tesco sign . After the car shop visit we had to go and have a meal in Tescos. The Cafe is upstairs via an escalator , on entering it was very quite , not may visitors . There was only one member of staff at the counter trying to cook the meals and take orders . After a few minutes another member of staff came and take our order, a jacket potato with beans and a breakfast with two teas £10.70 . We did not wait long for our meals to arrive , I was quite amazed at the portions of both meals and the quality of the food , well done Tesco Cafe .I think they could improve on the sandwiches etc , as there were only a very few too choose from .

Taking a shopping break early in the day, we decided to order two standard English breakfasts. The cafe was empty, only 5 tables were occupied.It took half an hour until are food arrived & we noticed that the man who had ordered after us, as soon as his food arrived, he just left ! I asked the family who were served before us, how long they had waited...35 minutes !

Had breakfast, it was lovely, fried eggs cooked just how I like them, food presented well on plate, staff was very pleasant too

Overcooked dried out poached eggs on some icky dry toast. lucky they had sauce to cover it. If only i could choose something less than 1.

First impressions were that the cafe was a bit of an afterthought for this store - at the Tesco stores local to us the cafes are close to the entrance with large windows, bright and airy, whereas Banbury's cafe is tucked away at the back of the first floor and seems a little dingy. The staff were friendly, the £3 kids meal deal is good value and it was fine for what we expected - standard cafe food, so in the big picture of food 3/5 is about fair. It was either Tesco or McDonald's, which would also get 3/5 most of the time! We were stopping in Banbury traveling north and we did notice that getting in and out of the retail park was manic - didn't realise it was such a busy place!

Sunday morning breakfast Less than appetising, slopped on the plate Food was lukewarm Not the best, need to improve.

After doing a little bit of early shopping I thought It would be good to grab a breakfast In the cafe

I live in Bicester and was having some work done on my Kitchen so decided to goto Tesco coffee before i started the grocery shop. I ordered the breakfast..it was terrible. The sausage might as well have been made of rubber, over cooked egg, fatty bacon and cheap tin tomatoes. I asked for toast and got one very small and very cold half slice of toast. The staff are friendly but the place is chaotic. Lots of people complaining around me. The whole meal was terrible and I won't bother coming here again.

The staff here are friendly .Ordered bacon,fried bread,sausage,beans,hash brown.

Este restaurante está situado en la primera planta de la tienda. El personal es muy agradable. Aunque la comida es 'cafe', en contraposición a lo que he restaurante, he comido allí ha sido siempre sabroso y bien preparado. He dado cuatro estrellas. . Pero realmente entre un. tres y cuatro.

This place is a last resort option only. Terrible food. Totally unnecessary being that bad. Dry fish cakes, microwaved to death new potatoes which weren't even edible. Plain salad, no dressing. Very cheap tartare sauce Poor choice of drinks. Bad bad bad. Don't do it!

Vinimos aquí de los Estados Unidos, sin saber qué esperar. Tres de los cuatro tienen graves alergias a los alimentos, y soy un gran cocinero, así que esperábamos encontrar algún lugar que podría satisfacer todas nuestras necesidades. Este es el lugar! No importa qué sus necesidades dietéticas son (vegetarianos, vegetarianos, orgánico, sin gluten, etc. . . ), lo tienen. Recomiendo encarecidamente!

Típica tienda Tesco, enorme con todo lo esencial. Las ventajas de Tesco Extra es todo lo que quieres. Aparcamiento carros genial y suficiente para todo el Reino Unido.

Cold scrambled eggs, cold mushrooms, cold rock hard bacon, black pudding baked to a crisp, soggy hash brown, like warm...

La Cantina en Tesco no ha cambiado en una de las modernas tiendas de café, y estoy muy contento porque el desayuno era increíble. Además, el personal de este viernes por la mañana fue de lo mejor, muy servicial y atento.

Might be the 2nd largest Tesco in UK - but first for bad food.We had a breakfast and bacon roll - still feeling sick.Greasy, dripping fat, brown bacon - whats not to like - actually everything.

Trading Standards are only a phone call away, 24 hr opening my a£se, it was bad enough when they didn't open until 6am, having to wait until 5 or 10 past to be able to pay at pump, generally making me late for work.Now we start earlier the petrol station is coned off, this is the 4th time this has happened recently, Mr Tesco, please open 24 hrs as advertised or take all your false advertising down.

Compared to Worcester and Evesham, this Tesco, considering it's 24 hrs has a very poor choice of organic produce. Shame on you, as it must n=be the manager that makes these decisions

Everybody know Tesco have a lot of thing.It is easy to go here by walking.And I think it much cheaper to buy something

Dit in-store restaurant is niet aan te raden. Heel vriendelijke bediening, maar dan heb je ook al het positieve benoemd.. Uitstraling is niets, meubels en buffet.. Ik geef er weinig punten voor.. Het is er vreselijk om te zitten en daar te eten.. Waarom we daar gestopt zijn om te eten..? Ik ben het vergeten.. Een grote make-over zou zijn geld zeker waard zijn!

i just love tesco all over the world as their prices are so reasonable and their stuff is good.it is worth every penny spent

I went into the Tesco store the other day and I went to chilled meat section to buy some sausages. I couldn't find any so I asked a shop assistant to help me. he said "yes follow me". he went into the back room into the cool area where the bacon and cheese is kept. to my surprise, he had a rather large sausage in his left hand. I said that's too big! next he pulled out a small sausage and I said it was too small! he then pulled down my trousers and bent me over and shoved them up my cavity! it wasn't a pleasant experience and I will not shop there again! the sausages were covered in poo when I went to eat them with my mash and two veg!

Very much a cheap & not very cheerful place to grab a bite too eat while out shopping. Quality very much in keeping with Tesco's

We stopped in at Tesco cafe, it was towards the end of the morning so we required if breakfast was still being served , and we were told yes it was, but then as we tried to order the breakfast items we were snapped at that breakfast was over ! These two servers were stood next to each other, so how one could think breakfast was still happening and the other didn't I don't understand, they grudgingly came up with some breakfast items, even managed to fry some eggs. Lousy organisation, awful food, rubbish service, I'd rather starve.

I refuse to eat the garbage they serve up here, and refuse to buy any of the stuff they sell. Staff very rude, and customer service almost non-existant. However, when I am in the area on business, which is often, I still pop in regularly, but only to use their toilets. They are often not very clean, but at least I give them back what they give to most of the people who, for some very strange reason, continue to purchase from them.....

I popped into our large Tesco store at 6.20am today, wanting to buy a DVD. No problems i thought because this store is advertised as open 24hrs in the week. When i got in i noticed that the escalator to the upstairs level was shut off! I asked a tesco member of staff why, and they said it doesnt open till 7am! I went to the member of staff on check out, and asked her why i cant do my shopping on the upper level. She replied that as there is no one on the tills upstairs untill 7am, there is no shopping alowed on that level. I made the observation around the store, that there was tesco staff everywhere packing shelves etc, surely they could train one of these to operate the tills upstairs , thus opening up the top level of the store. After this member of staff said it is always like that, she said she would chapperone me upstairs so i could go and buy a DVD, this we did. When we got upstairs i was antisipating a bit of a lonely shop, however upstairs there was many more staff restocking etc!! Why couldnt one of them have been put on the till??!! Anyway my small piece of shopping done eventually. But dont misslead the public, this shop is only HALF open 24hrs!!

I like shopping with Tesco. I recently bought a nice tracksuit from tesco its nice to feel and look at. I suspect I will buy more junkie clothing again there cafe is superb and i love there toasties and the security is easy to sneak past

perfect place for regular halfway stop off between uni and home for breakfast! staff are always wonderful, decent food and decent prices

Well, I never thought I would write a review on a Tesco cafe, but here goes.I have breakfast here frequently, say ten times a year. It is what a Tesco cafe should be but always dependable at that level. They are friendly and willing to help, the fried eggs are done properly so the yolk is runny but the white fully cooked (well, that's how I like them), the sausages are bargain-basement but fine. Rest of the fare is standard. They will do a sausage and egg roll for you which is not quite on the menu.Okay, it's a Tesco cafe but it is a pleasant place to eat before you go shopping. I have never eaten other than breakfast so cannot comment further but I would be happy to have lunch here if the breakfast is anything to go by. I complained about the eggs once and my complaint was dealt with quickly and efficently. It is a good place to eat.Toilets are spacious and clean.You get Clubcard points too!

Stopped for a snack before doing the shopping. It was great. Lovely sandwiches and coffee. Nice and clean. Service was good. Prices not to bad.

In a superstore, tucked away on the first floor you find the restaurant. Have a breakfast here, prepared by friendly staff and make a choice out of all the litlle bits that make the english breakfast so great, Is is the best start of the morning you can get.The prices are extremely low.
