This is a pretty handy grocery store right by Petts Wood station…read more I was making Sindhi Biryani for friends who live nearby and was amazed to find the selection of spice mixes offered here - it has everything from masala mixes to kufli! My friends who live locally love this place, as they get access to a vast range of fresh produce - especially the aubergine, fenugreek, and garlic - yes the garlic is also cheaper here than other places, the coriander and mint are also very fresh and lasts longer than other places I have bought from. You can also get samosa's naan and other classic indian ingredients for all your cooking needs. Whats refreshing about this place is that it exists! Petts Wood has a lot of large franchises, such as Sainsburys, Iceland Morrisons etc...so its good to have a local business around the corner with more authentic produce. Hurrah for local business!

The vegetables here are a lot cheaper yet better than what you would get in Sainsburys…read more Realized this only recently and I think I have stopped going to Sainsburys now. This is not a superstore. Just a small one, like the size of a Tesco Metro maybe. They don't accept American Express. But come on. Who cares really? There are affordable alternatives to every expensive brand in the market. Be it chocolates, biscuits or breakfast cereals (actually a lot more, but I'll just stop here). I've heard some of my friends say that ALDI's milk doesn't last as long as what is written on the can, but I'm yet to find one like that.

I prefer Aldi to Lidl. Aldi sell really good quality fruit and vegetable that is cheaper than Lidl…read more You really have to be on the look out for bargains, because once you find them, those bargains sell out fast! As you would expect from discount supermarkets like Aldi and Lidl, you do have to queue for a while because there are only 1 or 2 members of staff at the checkout and you do need to bring your own shopping bags, otherwise Aldi can charge you. Also Aldi do not accept credit cards as payment, only cash and debit cards. We might take all these things for granted in other supermarkets, but Aldi do this in order to help keep their costs down and pass some of lower costs down to us customers. Overall, Aldi offers better quality food than Lidl.

I'm a sucker for tea cakes and I am very impressed with their creation/recipe. I caned the whole cake in one sitting.. More than once. (Good thing the gym is across the road) Try it!

This branch of Sainbury's has most of the essentials, though I am frequently disappointed to find…read morethat things have run out and shelves not restocked, or there are some varieties that it just does not have of certain items. Unfortunately it is also a bit of a zoo during Saturday and Sunday afternoons and it can be very stressful getting round the aisles (though it does make for a quick shopping trip as we are not keen to linger!)

Sorry to hear that this store is changing the length of its parking time to a maximum of 90 minutes…read moreand may result in a fine of £95 if you go longer than that. We have shopped happily at this store for quite a few years, but from Nov 12th 2018, when the new parking rules start we will have to go elsewhere. 90 minutes maximum for a full weeks shopping, spending maybe £90/£100 each time is not conducive to a happy experience under such a limit....certainly no time to use the restaurant for a coffee break. The changes we are told is because people are using the car park who are not shopping in the store....so Waitrose are penalizing its regular weekly shoppers who cannot conform to a 90 minute limit.....don't you want our £90/£100 per week....you need to rethink such a silly idea.

Excellent produce with very friendly and helpful shopkeepers. When I picked up a head of lettuce,…read morethey asked me to wait while they went into their garden and picked a fresh head. Try that at your grocery store!

The Creaky Shed is the perfect fruit and vegetable shop. Why aren't there more places like this in…read moreLondon? Owned by two of the most helpful and friendly grocers in London- Adrian and Jason- the shop sells high quality fresh fruit and vegetables on a seasonal basis. Everything is beautifully arranged- the presentation is immaculate, especially at Halloween and Christmas. My friends who live locally, will now not shop anywhere else. They even arrange weekly vegetable and fruit boxes through them. Last Summer I asked them to put together a small fruit platter for me- I only had 20 pounds- and they delivered the most enourmous, extravagant platter that few 20 people. I was so impressed- they put in beautiful apples, strawberries, pears, mango and melon- a lot of the money. They also stock an amazing selection of pickles, preserves and Chegworth Valley apple juices.

This so called super store is not as big as I imagined it to be but how big does it need to be to…read morehalf the name super store? Don't get me wrong it a good tesco store with the added addition of a costa coffee, yes a costa coffee located up on the second floor. Being a super store it also sells the tesco clothing and has a specs-savers and a pharmacy all located inside the store. With the fact it's a 24hr spot with car parking bays then it has to be an above average tesco's and especially in this area, wouldn't you say?

I remember the day that this Tesco opened. It was so anticipated because it was going to be so huge…read moreon the corner of the high street in Orpington! This Tesco has a huge car park and two levels of shopping desires from food to household products. There is also a phone department, optometrist and Costa Coffee inside! It is really enormous and modern but it's never so busy that you can't breathe or have to stand for an hour in the queue before going home with defrosted foods!

As my bus stops near this branch of Sainsburys on my way home from work, it is incredibly…read moreconvenient for me to go here on my way home and pick up those items that I had previously forgotten to buy. This is precisely what I use this Sainsburys for as I usually order my groceries online. However, this is a big enough grocery shop to do ones' weekly shop in, which I have done occasionally. There is generally a decent selection of goods in this large store and it's also perfect for stopping in later at night on the way home from a meal in Bromley to pick up that spare bottle of wine or that extra pint of ice cream!

This is a really great branch of Sainsburys, because it is large and has everything you need. I was…read moreparticularly impressed with the self-service tills, which I found really easy to use and it definitely saved me time, because I didn't have to queue to pay for my items. It is a rather spacious Sainsburys so I felt quite at home shopping here in this pleasant environment. They've got a good sized car park too.

I agree with the last review. I used to do mystery shopping and whenever I did this branch they…read morealways failed on the service category. I also find that this brand is often very sparsely stocked. I went back a few weeks ago and wasnt impressed then either

I think to work here you have to be a social misfit as most ofthe staff fall into that category…read more They need to be reminded of good manners and customer service, but if the management are no better how are they going to learn. I only use this store because it is convenient. Their prices are higher than everywhere else and the range of stock is not good. You have to fight your way into the store past the staff having a fag break. Also check the sell by dates on any purchases as I have often noticed things on shelves past their sell by date. They have asecurity guard who is as good as a chocolate T pot. Ive noticed more shoplifters than he has.
