Sainsbury's Local

Nice employee, various product, not too expensive. Close to the flower market, easy to take beer and chill out under the sun.

Great for the basics but not that much choice. Staff are pretty good.

Biggest problem for me is their weird choice of things they don't stock. Very little in the way of healthy ready meals and a pitiful amount of Taste the Difference options across the board. The smaller Sainsbury's on Kingsland Road, a stone's throw away has a far better selection of items and it's half the size.

And why do supermarkets in general think that half a dozen types of pizza and 5 varieties of curry ready meals at the exclusion of everything else counts as 'a wide selection'?

Good service and good staff., never had to wait in line too long to check out.

The sandwich situation is ridiculous. I went in this morning and 2 members of staff were putting the sandwiches out the slowest and most inconvenient way possible. Therefore there were hardly any sandwiches, no fruit pots or drinks choice for the meal deal so couldn't get anything, pointless.

The coldest place I've been to during this heatwave

It's fine

No point having opening times if you close shutters and everything 10 mins early.

The other day i went in after withdrawing £50 at cashpoint outside..by time i got to till the money fell out at a point.when i went in this morning security guy(top man) approached me and manager returned it....
