Supermarkets in Newbury, Berkshire

“A straightforward supermarket with polite and helpful staff and excellent quality products. Also one of the few places that does Brandy Cream and Brandy Butter at Christmas! Excellent if you're looking for a slightly obscure ingredient from another culture.”

“Nice clean supermarket with friendly staff, absolutely massive selection of everything and as it's a Sainsbury's it's not too extortionate for the odd couple things. Would visit again happily to pick up some stuff if needed.”

“I love aldi stores and the prices but in the Newbury branch there's often no one manning the tills. I'm disabled and struggle with the self checkout. Please PLEASE make sure there's at least one till open!”

“Desperate for food late in the evening, I (disappointingly) lost the argument about where to go for food. I wanted pizza express, my partner wanted to “save money”… this was one i wasnt going to win so I arrived at Sainsburys with a heavy heart.

It wasnt immediately obvious but as i lugged my heavy legs around the shop it occurred to me, that this may be the perfect Sainsburys Local. Even though the shop was small, by god it was wonderful. They had everything we needed (including the best bag of taste the difference cookies i’ve ever had, and i’ve had a lot. A lot. A lot.)

To send off the trip we were served by Ben. Bens smile radiated welcome and happiness like no staff member i’ve ever met. He made me feel like a forlorn fisherman giving up on life in a terrible storm, then seeing far away on the horizon a lighthouse. Safety. Comfort. Warmth.

Keep smiling Ben. 5 stars all the way home to wherever on this green earth i come from.”

“I suffer from serious fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndrome and had a bad episode in the London road brach, the staff are second to none they help me when I could barely breathe and stand they went above and beyond with helping me though this all i can say is THANK YOU ?”

“The pharmacy is very quick. And the selection of groceries and convenience items is more rhan I was expecting to see. I dont know yet how to compare peixes so can't remark about that. Surprisingly closes early at 4pm on Sundays. :(”

“I had my one good high beam headlamp go and it was dark. Luckily I was near the shell and I hoped against hope that they would have headlamp bulbs. I was in luck. They also have all the bits and pieces you would need in a pinch for the home and a hot food cabinet.”

“Staff are always polite with every food essentials in. We have Co-ops dotted everywhere - handy to avoid 20 minute journey to a local supermarket just for a loaf or milk that we all tend to run out of periodically.”

“Really nicely kept shop, staff are friendly, little on the expensive side... But it's M&S so it's a given. Food products are fresh and high quality”

“Regular visitor, shop usually very well stocked, staff usually very friendly. I just wish that Deliveroo would deliver to the Racecourse Development as this would help not only me but many others. On mentioning this to the staff they shrugged and agreed with me especially as many hospital workers live close by.”

“Popped in to get a few bits, quite busy. Not been here for a while, plenty to choose from plenty of tills open. We had a young lad he was very chatty and helpful. So polite when we left”

“This is my sending favourite branch after their larger sister branch at Northbrook Street. Purely as I have frequented it more and have got to know some of the staff.The staff at this M&S outlet is equally as polite and cheerful. Quite easy to hit the £200 mark without purchasing a full trolly (and without purchase of alcohol). I shall try Lidl opposite next time to compare.”

“Overall good experience in Tesco Express. Adequate products and stock most of the times. In center of town center and serve the purpose, there is plenty of self check-out options, there is bakery as well for fresh baked breads and pastries. Also there are other services like Hermes ParcelShop, MoneyGram, Payzone bill payments available in Tesco Express.”

“Waitrose is an amazing supermarket wonderland with a great store brand. Being from the US, I was especially impressed by the very reasonably-priced jams and jellies in interesting flavors, like rhubarb ginger. The rhubarb-ginger jelly/jam could have been more sour and more spicy, but the mere fact of it being rhubarb ginger was amazing. I think I experienced Waitrose as "reasonably priced" compared to other, earlier reviews from the US due to a more favorable exchange rate in the last few years, making Waitrose much cheaper than Whole Foods at home, where I don't usually shop due to price. At Waitrose, I had a great time shopping and trying different things. The food here was high quality, and it seemed to be selected for a mix of classic and super interesting. The store-brand product that most impressed me was the Waitrose de-caf Earl Grey tea. It's my absolute favorite of all de-caf Earl Greys I've had, or full-caf Earl Greys for that matter, because it's more aromatic with bergamot than others. I don't know whether Waitrose adds more bergamot or whether they treat their bergamot better, but either way, it's just delicious. It also comes in a larger, more economical size, which was a treat for me because it spoke to the idea of this being an "every day" type of tea, as it should be.”
