    Really good food, good coffee & great staff. Recommend the meatball panini & the mocha. Great place to meet up with friends.

    Another massive mega-store, on the same order as a Wal-Mart Supercenter like in the States. Except…read morethis store is 90% food and groceries, but only 10% clothes and electronics. Wider selection of clothes and other non-food items than the Tesco I shopped last week, including a small shoe department (boots!) and an aisle of kitchen items (drip coffee maker for £7!). With this shop, I think I've fully kitted out my flat. Prices are in line with what I expected, as Asda is "part of the Wal-Mart family". Slightly lower than Tesco and much lower than the urban Sainsbury's in Reading Town Centre. It's a huge store and it's very easy to spend a couple of hours in here without realizing it. One annoying thing - Bill, the greeter, kept announcing on the overhead how much he'd love to help and kept pointing out the specials and hours. Between that and the Asda advertisements (mostly Christmas specials and electronics items), there was barely a moment of peace. I have no idea how Brits got by before these mega-stores came to be. This store literally sells every type of food and in many different varieties. Lots of ready-to-cook and ready-to-serve items in many departments. Compared to the States, the produce section was much larger. It was also a little odd (as an American) seeing a massive aisle of spirits (whiskey, scotch, etc.). In many places back home, these are in a separate section or even a different store to keep them away from the kiddies. Loads of parking and a petrol station, Asda is also served by the Reading bus lines - numbers 21 and 22 stop right in front after a ~20 minute ride from the depot. I snapped and posted pictures for you!

    Our nearest Supermarket in a nice airy Mall with other shops including jewelers, shoeshops,…read moreopticians, estate agents, cleaners and cafes. It is a busy area and yet one can get ones shopping done quickly because there are so many check outs. Items are easy to find and are tastfully displayed. Good parking and also a large section where one can deposit old wine bottles. There used to be a series of small banks in this mall but there are only ATMs left. There is also a shop selling wheelchairs and mobility cars etc Across the road is a small Marks and Spencers which we use for variety .
