Today was the second occasion that we have visited you since the changes you made to the layout of…read morethe store. To us, this has been a total disaster. We do not go often enough to remember the changes and it must have taken us twice as long as previously. We have to keep looking for staff who can tell us where things are and they cannot enjoy this continual distraction. The whole shopping process has been very tiring and we no longer enjoy visiting Waitrose as we used to. Please think twice before doing this to us again.

Waitrose is a bit of a gem in Goldsworth Park. It's not a large store but it's well stocked with…read moregoods appropriate to the size of the store. Flowers, fruit and veg are fresh and keep well. Meat tends to be packaged in portions for 2 or 4 and larger joints are harder to come by. The fresh meat and fish counters vary in terms of stock but all is good. The deli is excellent with a good choice. Waitrose entertains is available in store as is glass hire. Staff are vey friendly and offer good assistance. There is a self-scan facility which speeds up checkout. Waitrose are participating in a community scheme benefitting local charities at the moment which appeals. Battery and plastic bag recycling are available in store. The car park is well maintatined and trolleys and baskets are always available, dry and in good condition. Opening hours vary throughout the week with extended hours towards the weekend.

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 .

Simply amazing. I can't rave about this stores recent makeover enough. I feel I should get paid…read morelike a top PR the amount I have enthused for the new store... which was long overdue being modernised and this Summer saw Tesco Watford become the talk of the town and the nation, as it's the first to get the flash new overhaul and it made the news. Literally. The renovations were undertaken without closing the store and whilst I admit I did stop shopping here while they were being carried out, I returned, opening day, with a fist full of vouchers to entice me back. You now have to queue to get in the car park. But...it's worth it and they now have car park assistants who direct you to spaces (layout has changed in the car park and disabled bays are now near the main doors). Outside is the same except for the swanky new Giraffe restaurant we are lucky to have in Watford now... But that deserves its own review later! Inside. Customer services is in same place, bit small and under staffed for a super store perhaps. There's a new 'scan and shop' section which I still need to try but I see a lot if peeps are using it. Food to go area is fab. Think salad bar to help yourself, loads if sarnies to chose from and pre packed salad and sushi goodies. Also it's a good section to nip to if picnicking. Plus there's self serve tills for this section alone so it's super convenient. The new bakery. Wowsers. So middle class and rustic. I lurve. Wooden table a la farm house laden with baked goods and hearty loaves. Also a counter with lots of posh desserts (quite pricey) and cakes. It's quite hard to grasp this is now where all bread and cakes are though. But it's early days. The toilet is in this section. No sign though. Annoying. And only one in whole hench store which is disappointing. Harris and Hoole. Love the look. Great lattes. Will sample food am sure. Always busy and not keen on the buzzers they give you to wait for coffee. Bit ott. But there's a coffee cart directly outside store so I usually grab one there as less busy. Florence and Fred. Happy days. This section looks amazing. Trolleys are able to mooch the aisles and it really feels like a proper clothes store, better fixtures and layout/feel than Marks or Next. And stock is great, fab designs and cheap as chips. I always come away with something. Fitting rooms are spacious too. Rest of store super laid out. New pizza counter (still not a patch on Asda's counter pizzas though- listen up Mr Tesco!). Fruit and veg section is epic, so spacious and easier to navigate than before. Make up and health sections look great as does home wears. Proper department store vibes. Loving. Dangerous for my bank balance. Opticians and pharmacy both helpful and knowledgable. Tills are still bit queuey but lots of people are checking out the store so busier than usual I think. Defo worth a visit. You can spend a whole day in here which I guess is the point as it has a destination shopping feel now. They even do yoga and kids classes here. Massive thumbs up!!

I believe part of what makes them so pleasant is that Waitrose is an employee owned business.

Pros This Sainsbury's Local is located on the High Street in the middle of Guildford's town centre…read more It's not the biggest store, being a Local, but does have a fairly good range of groceries and own-brand items. The shop's quite well laid out, and the shop assistants are friendly and helpful- and useful if you can't find something (like we couldn't when we visited!) Cons As it's a Local, it doesn't have the full range so you don't get all the value items- which I suppose is OK if you just need top-up shopping but it is quite annoying if you want savings.

Had driven past this emporium many times and often wondered what it was like inside. One evening I…read moredesperately needed some frozen peas and Waitrose was shut so I decided to take the plunge. Well... what a truly surreal ordeal. An air-hanger-esque cathedral of produce awaited me. Guadily lit with bright white strip lighting. As well as groceries were countless aisles of cheap clothing, toys, games and various bric-a-brac. And the denizens were no less bizarre. There was a small boy dressed as the comic book character Spider Man running around unsupervised. Occassionally he would just stand there staring at me as I tried to locate the frozen vegetable section in this labyrinth of comestibles. A truly un-nerving experience.

There are always trolleys available although they are often wet from the rain as there is insufficient cover for them. The store operates a self scan system if that is your thing although often it doesn't work and the queues at the special tills are often longer than the regular tills. Fruit and veg never seems to last long from here even compared to the much cheaper offerings from Morrisons. Pricewise it compares to Waitrose but there's no comparison in quality! There is an ever-shrinking fresh meat section and it often looks poor. The butcher counter is also small and rarely has much on it to tempt. My biggest grip here though is that I can rarely do a complete shop here and it's not because I want odd items. I've lost count of the number of times they've been out of stock of basics such as fresh milk, eggs, bread or chicken breasts. The queues are always long in here although the staff are quite pleasant. Good for a late night chemist. There is a cafe and toilets, both reasonaly clean.

I always like shopping in any Waitrose because the customer service is great and the ethics of the…read morecompany are second to none, well at least none of the major supermarkets. The best thing about Weybridge is the free multi storey car park meaning on a wet day one doesn't have to get wet. Also for those on a tight budget or are naturally frugal I've noticed a large crowd at the reduced to clear section, they always seem to have stacks of products close to expiry so bargain hunters have a wide range of goods to chose from. The store itself is old and could do with refurbishment and what doesn't help is a relatively new Morrisons superstore further exacerbating the advanced years of the Weybridge Waitrose.
