Local supermarket for me. Too expensive for my weekly shop, but pop in for coffee with friends and tend to do a little shop afterward.

All that you can want in the way of food and drink with plenty of parking and a coffee shop. As always a good selection of fresh vegetables, bakery goods, and meat. There's a click and collect desk for John Lewis purchases and a good self scan system- you do have to have a My Waitrose card to use it. There are now electric vehicle charging points in the carpark. July 24 Still as good and busy as ever, new things for Summer, when it actually arrives.

Visited Waitrose on the 19th of January and was surprised to see Easter chocolates already gracing the shelves, a full 79 days before the holiday and merely 25 days after Christmas. While I admire Waitrose for its high-quality offerings and commendable customer service, this early display seems out of step with the cherished pacing of seasonal traditions. It is the respect for these traditions that often cements customer loyalty, and such premature promotion might not sit well with those of us who appreciate the natural unfolding of the festive calendar.

Wow, the first time (April 2024) I have been into a Waitrose in over a year, maybe two, and I am shocked that the products are virtually *identical* to what's in my local Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Morrisons, only 10% or more higher in price! No product differentiation whatsoever! The same old stuff, the same brands, the same product lines. OMG Waitrose used to be niche, with special product lines for the discerning shopper etc. etc. Now it's just another damn supermarket, only more expensive. I thought it was the jewel in the fading John Lewis crown! How wrong. If you work for JL, you need to get out now and find another job, because they are heading for bankruptcy. So sad.

Shelves in a number of areas still feel a bit empty with some limited selections. Biggest issue right now is the date range of many products where you may only get 2-3 days before the used by date.

We ordered 2 English breakfast and was greeted with “we don’t do that”so looked at the menu and asked for 2 traditional breakfasts, which the lady understood, after over 17 minutes the breakfasts arrived in a large bowl/plate and was absolutely swimming in liquid, we where unsure if this was water or oil or something else. We left hungry and disappointed.

Waited 40 mins for a veg breakfast, the toast is barely toasted, the halloumi isn't even cooked as are the tomatoes, when it finally arrives they haven't even cooked any mushrooms and I have had to send it back. Incredibly disappointed. A relaxing brekky has become a frustrating experience.

This store has got to be one of their worst ones. The cafe stopped serving food hot food at 1:30, leaving a lot of elderly people without their lunch, it shuts at 2.30! One of the toilets was broken, they're always filthy and there's no soap. The soap dispensers haven't been working for years. It's always freezing cold in this store, even in the cafe - very unpleasant. The shelves are half empty, constantly. I would not recommend it at all.

Ordered a vegan Christmas Turkey and a gammon joint from the Christmas range to pick up just before Christmas. They had the order and the vegan Turkey but they didn’t have the gammon joint. We ordered it weeks before online and was for our Christmas dinner. They just said ‘sorry we don’t have any in stock’.

It’s a fab experience including the coffee shop. The only thing that spoils it for me is that the grass and shrubs that border the store are no longer tidy. They once were nice and neat. Untidy, uncut areas encourage litter and detract from the brand image. John, Tilehurst

FALSE ADVERTISING & TASTELESS The bowl contains boiled rice with a few lumps of scrambled egg, neither have ever seen the shadow of a wok or frying pan - NOT fried in any way. It is simply plain boiled rice, and although there are some petits poir here and there (small green beans) - I had serious difficulties to find any remains of spring onion and ginger. Absolutely tasteless...

It's Waitrose. This location is no better or worse than any other that I've been to. Expect to pay significantly more for the same items you can get at other supermarkets. The produce and shopping experience is better than average supermarkets and as usual, I'm fairly sure I was the only customer in the building under 65.

I'm used to shopping in supermarkets like Morrisons, Sainsburys or Asda so when I completed my weekly shop here buying pretty much the same sort of items I was last for words when it came in around £30 more expensive. My normal shop costs around £70 but this came in at just over £100! I have decided from this one shop that I will not be returning unless all other supermarkets throughout the UK suddenly close down!

Expensive as all Waitrose are but you can't beat the quality of the fresh produces, particularly fruits and vegetables. That's obviously compared to the other supermarket chains, not specialised grocers. The store itself is bright and clean, feels spacious and is nicely laid out. I've never had problems parking nor has the place ever felt crowded but then I usually shop either fairly early in the morning or early evening, around 8pm. All in all, one of the better supermarket shopping experiences but it comes at a price.
