Sainsbury's Local

Despite being pretty small - Sainsbury’s Local Bristol Hippodrome had a pretty good selection of all the gluten free long lifes basics a coeliac might want as well as lots of naturally gluten free ingredients.  They didn’t have much in the way of sandwiches or ready to eat food; but good for a few cupboard essentials. Full 3* lowdown at coeliacwellnes.com.

A good shop with a big range of products great to stop off before or after getting bus of for something to eat when in the area

Located in the centre of Bristol, close to the harbourside and opposite the Hippodrome, this small local Sainsbury's has most everyday essentials. They have plenty of good quality fruit and veg, and general groceries as well as sandwiches and drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. It can get busy but is usually quiet in the mornings.

Handy city centre location, ATM, basic selection of fresh and frozen food.

Brilliant local store , very handy as I live above the shop and you can always have a laugh with the staff the fruit is always lovely and fresh but I wish they would bring the fresh orange juicer back.
Security guard can be a pain in the backside as he follows you round the shop even though am in there every day at least 2/3 times a day.

I use this sainsburys multiple times a week, the selection is pretty basic, but not the worst for a Local.

My biggest fault is with the security guard who insists on following me around every time I'm in there. Today he tried to insinuate that I had stolen my shopping as I was packing it into my bag, receipt in my hand.

The rest of the staff are fab, friendly and work hard.

I genuinely had the best shopping experience of my life here, I didn't even know that was something I could realise.

Bristol's unique hip not rubbing off on this place. Urgently needing ice cream but could only find dingy unpriced ice cream section. 1/10 on Bristol hip scale.
