Sainsbury's Local

Some expensive things without reason, some really cheap, depends what you're looking for. But overall, not the best supermarket. Helpful staff if you can find them. Great bread (the one with 8 different types of seeds). The position of the supermarket is perfect, close to the train station, ATM rigjt at the entrance, high street is about 3 minutes walking distance

Not bad, but not good either. Limited availability of products. Popular stuff usually out of stock. Everything all jammed in, especially by the tills. Self serve counter sometimes out of order, in card only mode or temperamental with your purchases, demanding you place it in the bagging area when you have already placed it in the bagging area. Counter of chewing gum in the way of the self serve till leaving no space to exit if someone is standing in the gap waiting to use the self serve till. ATM outside usually always out of service awaiting a fill up.

Fond memories of this beautiful lil' Sainsburys.
They have tea and chocolate and such but the real treat about visiting this shop is the mood. Good moods here, and I hope it stays that way. Just remember to smile next time you visit, have a laugh with the security, wink at someone you wouldn't usually wink at, whistle a jovial melody whilst browsing for hummus. We're all in this together, after all.

This place is so expensive. I only buy milk here. Just wondering why the prices of essential bits are more expensive here.

Maybe you should try to keep the price the same as in your bigger shop?

Very useful shop because open till 11 pm. All essential items available here. Sunday also opening till 11 and opening at 7 am every day.

Come in for lunch to find staff looking overworked and under appreciated. No managers to be found on the shopfloor at time I came in. Cages from delivery dotted around. Empty shelves.

As I was leaving an Asian man in a suit came from somewhere. I assume he’s a manager? Shame he can’t manage this store

I bought an product from the local shop which is a top up card and they sold me different top up company, went back to change it and unfortunately they can’t exchange it or refund the money. Make sure you buy the right product because the customer laws doesn’t work for them.
So disappointed to meet this standards at this level.

Nice small local store, once a drug addict asked me for money when I was walking past, there is a very friendly and nice security guard and the staff are polite and useful. The only problem is every time I go there are no Southern Chicken Wraps left for scranning.
