Self checkout supposed to be quick? Nah not here, you just stood the waiting for someone to come. And you have to call them over. A woman tried to steal and had a full check making everyone waiting for 10 minutes. Should be better.

Please update your ticket machines for the car park. Always a queue to pay and can barely read the keypad. It puts me off going there.

Poor stock levels, limited choice

Very busy store, looks like it could do with a revamp to me.

The fruit and veg is quite reliable in quality compared to other supermarkets such as Morrisons and Tesco. I can often find things like large squishy majoul dates and pink pomello's. It's consistently a good selection that keeps you interested. Not just the same old frozen satsumas that have gone squishy and tasteless or apples that look a bit grey.
Havent tried the strawberries but lets face it you should never buy strawberries from a supermarket. Not unless you want your kids to think that's what strawberries taste like.
Actually it's an ok supermarket, but forcing me to have yet another supermarket app on my phone just so they can monitor my shopping behaviour has somewhat annoyed me now and made me drop a star
Especially when i couldn't give two hoots about points and then having to disable notifications popping up on my phone every 5 minutes. Of course I don't give a stuff if apples are on offer at 5 pence cheaper this week, let alone have my day interupted by the announcement on my phone.
Trying to make out they are offering these awesone things and that we are getting something in return when really all they are doing is harvesting our information. Its happening everwhere. People are freely giving in.
It's not a reward card, it's a ' we'll punish you' if you dont have one and we can't see what you are doing card.
If you don't download the app and scan it the barcode, you have to pay more which obviously is pretty arritating at the checkout especially when you discover the signal is poor and they want you to connect to their WiFi.
Not before telling you how unsecure the WiFi is first though. How you use it at your own risk.... This is a supermarket...just remind yourself you came in for a loaf...
. Ah, but if you want the loaf for £1.09 and not £1.39 then you have to download the app. Don't forget your email address and wait a minute... . that password you're using for the app isn't long enough. Ot needs to be super tight that password . Someone might steal it and access your wonderful supermarket app and steal you ten pence voucher for their own brand of kitchen towels.
Which in my opinion during this time of inflation and rising food prices is a luxury item. Surely if you're buying kitchen towels you can probably afford them at full price and don't even need the oh so generous ten pence off them first place.
Wait you still havent got the app sorted out yet.... you need a symbol in your password now, not just 12 the characters. What if someone hacks the app and finds out what you have been buying and steals your information without you buying slightly discounted kitchen towels first.
Wouldn't that be just be terrible.
Oh and they charge you for parking but they do let you have a refund on it if you spend over a Ten pound .... But wait... You need to display your ticket in the window of your car... And yet the discount code for the money off when you spend £10 in store is on the back. Another mind bending, hoop jumping game for you to play.
You now have to carry the little parking ticket round with you so you can get your parking refund the next time you go shopping . Not only are you playing the digital app game but also now the analogue one too. Going old school, carrying paper vouchers around. Thanks sainsburys... You just went down one more star.

I feel like this is a terrible Sainsbury's. Extremely small and you have to pay for the car park. The staff was the only plus to this store. Absolute credit to Sainsbury's because your store in this location is awful.

Usual Sainsbury's

Staff are always helpful & pleasant a credit to the brand unlike the store itself which requires updating & refurbishment.

We just popped in for a few bits for breakfast whilst staying on the Premier inn. There's a good range and free parking after 6pm. The staff were all really helpful and friendly.

Went to collect an item from Argos, you have to pay for parking and when I tried to reclaim the voucher by purchasing a small item I was told I had to have bought at least £10 worth of stuff

No deli, meat or fish counter.
Difficult to find products as they keep relaying their shelf plans.
Always out of skimmed milk but store management state that they have no control over milk deliveries to the store. Often have to go to Waitrose just for milk - but usually end up being tempted by their fresh foods and spending up to £60 there when I just popped in for milk (which is always available!)
Minced beef recently repackaged in vacuum sealed packs which compresses the mince and makes it unusable.
Local staff are great but appear to be unable to influence head office decisions to reflect local customer demand.
Some examples: American product section is weird. 80+ sizes types, brands and varieties of olive oils seems excessive when you regularly run out of eggs, milk, detergents, butter etc.

Car park hasn't been gritted it's like an ice rink very dangerous
