East of England Co-op Supermarket

As co-op's go, this is a shining beacon of greatness. The shelves are well stocked with everything you could possibly want, from over priced tomato ketchup to ugly ironing board covers. On a good day you may be able to navigate the octogenarian shoppers, blocking the aisles with their zimmers whilst they complain to each other about the price of vegetables, to find your way to the empty shelves where the two loaves of bread that are baked in store each day once briefly resided. If you are feeling extravagant, why not queue for 30 minutes for a subway? It truly is the takeaway of champions.

Very large supermarket, one of the best co-ops I' ve been in. There's also a Subway and a Costa coffee machine. Good parking too.

Nice modern store with friendly staff and good selection of produce. Tills can sometimes be a bit slow if you're in a hurry!

Brilliant and big selection with a Subway attached, great deals with fresh flowers, breads, beer and wines, lotto and cigarette, the parking is not huge and in my view badly laid out so often full it seems but very spacious and well laid out shop, wide isles and garden stuff near exit.... Better range of frozen and ready meals and good pet food section, good efficient staff always willing to help and as far as I could see it is always clean and tidy.

3rd February 2021 update.
Today I placed an order at the Wickham Market Co-op for pickup which I do a couple of times a month. They do this for me as I am not only among the so-called "vulnerable" (I'm 75) but I am also classified as disabled. I am on a limited budget and had a fixed amount available. I spoke to a young lady by the name of Minnie Hall (no relation) who took my order and I explained that if certain items exceeded my available limit, to remove them. I was called back and the amount came to just below my limit. I was then told that the actual amount was higher but the staff had chipped in to cover the amount greater than my limit. I was totally taken aback and learned they had done it because I am a regular and good customer! Such a kind gesture and much appreciated. Thank you to Ms Hall and those involved!

Great service and normally have most of my needs.
Not as cheap as the 'big' supermarkets but not as daunting!
That said, they constantly have 'specials' on big brand names. (eg 12x300ml Diet Coca-Cola £4.00 - £4.50 from Tesco)
They have electric car charge points which means they get my custom as it is convenient to charge my car while I shop.

Prices ***** we are in a global pandemic, people want to shop local but the greed of these companies push people to larger supermarkets. All the Christmas products they had in (in Christmas packaging) was double the price.

No issues on latest visit

Not very good, staff are not overly friendly, the produce is very limited and very expensive, the bread range is atrocious now for some reason they've started limiting what bread they sell and its mostly there own range which isn't very good.
