Hedge End Park - M&S & Sainsburys

The M&S is in another league, amazing range, fresh cooked pizza, Pasta Evangelists, fresh cooked Piri Piri chickens and staff that are the best in the business, a truly brilliant shopping experience. On top of that, coffee to go, petrol on site, masses of parking and immediate access to the M27. Why wouldn't you shop here every day?

Both very large stores with free parking.
Gets ridiculously busy at weekends but is very quiet off peak.
Sainsbury is as you'd expect. M&S has reasonable choice these days, but is probably less appealing to younger shoppers. The men's selection of clothes is pretty good, home ware is boring but useful for household essentials.

I'm an avid M&S fan, but I was even overwhelmed with the size of this store. It is said to be the biggest M&S store in Europe. I aim to visit again in order to spend my gift vouchers I received recently for my birthday. On the other hand I might go back to my local M&S store in London where I've enjoyed shopping for many years.
However, I recommend this store to those shoppers who like big stores.
I did not visit the Sainsbury's but my son who did said it was equally awesome!

Went with family to the pizza area, but v few chairs available, and when they became free there was no pizza. Shame. But Peppa pig area was nice and I got a nice oodie variant

Fabulous shop, fabulous products. Not just a food hall an M&S food hall. Very hard to control ones spending! Love it. 5*

Well maintained, easy to park and most of all an abundance of stock.
Although this is a little out of the way for us, it is really easy to get around and very accessible.

We only went to m&s today but found it very good, plenty of everything and well displayed also department's easy to find, we could not go home without visiting the food hall and yes we bought food as we already knew that it would be good,and we'll be back 😀.

Nice little complex, decent cafe, is what it says really, Sainsbury's and M&S, plenty of parking, fuel is usually a reasonable price and the IMO on site car wash is good too.
