Just meh. If you compare to the one on Upper Street it doesn?t even seem like the same brand. If you?re desperate or want a wide selection of soda it?s okay. Otherwise there?s a little family owned store beside or Sainsbury?s three blocks away.

Overpriced shop with invariably unfriendly staff. The manager often stands at the till doing menial tasks while letting a single cashier deal with a shop floor choke-full of customers waiting to be served. The staff often choose peak-shopping times to re-stock the shelves, hindering the shopping experience for customers. The only reason they haven't gone out of business yet is that there aren't any other shops around.

Ignore these terrible reviews. This is our very own neighborhood New York Deli. We love it and the staff are so kind and friendly!

They often over charge and pull a blank face when you try to explain.

I just shopped there as too cold to go far and once again after checking my bill they had overcharged me. I went back and got a refund of nearly £15...they charged me for 6 packets of raspberries when I had purchased only one...

Expensive

Undoubtedly the finest frozen mirror carp this side of N7!

Expensive for everyday stuff and their fruit and veg is terrible. Just rots almost instantly. However, they have a good selection of speciality items and an amazing selection of snacks and sweets.

This is a copy of my email sent to Budgens Campdale Road Tuffenel Park, today I am still waiting for a reply. Btw this is again the skinny man like in the other review on here.I bought some ?soft amaretti? almond biscuits with orange flavor in your Tuffnel Park branch of Budgens. I was surprised to find they contained groundnut shells in the dough when I tasted them. Yesterday I returned them, one member of staff tasted them and agreed to give me a full refund.Tonight, when I entered the store, the same member of staff did not greet me when he saw me, instead in a very rude manner, said that he would never refund anything in the future as he had paid from his own pocket for this refund. He said that it was my responsibility to read the allergen information on the box. The box in question declared that the Falcone Amaretti contained the almonds (but not the hard nut shells!)The member of staff obviously doesn't understand what is the difference between what is edible and inedible. I did ask him to provide his name but refused to write it down or provide it to me.For your information, all the boxes of amaretti-flavored biscuits have been removed from display, if it is normal for them to contain the shells surely they would have remained on sale?I am still shaking and I am saddened and disappointed with this kind of behavior, another member of staff came to see what was happening and he agreed that I shouldn't have been treated in this way, this wasn't acceptable. He stated that he would talk to him. Before leaving the shop this member of staff said ?I am sorry bruv ? therefore as I was leaving the store I gave him his £3.50. I don?t feel as if the word ?bruv? is a suitable term to be used towards a customer as it is a colloquial term and rather unprofessional.I am senior in age to this member of staff and I would have hoped that he may show me at least some respect, I shop there regularly often five days a week. I have never and would never treat any of my clients in this way, as I work in luxury retail. Is this the way to reward your loyal clients?Could you please forward my email to the Store Manager in Campdale Road Tuffenel Park? Could you please ask them to write a proper letter of apology and ask them to issue a voucher?

A bit expensive.. Ok for an emergency shop.. Red wine selection ok, but the white wine selection is terrible.. For some reason they also sell a lot of horrible American candy .

I used to shop at Budgens fairly regularly until some idiot with a pushchair decided it's ok to walk off leaving their child in the pushchair unattended blocking the que for the tills so they can get something from the drinks cabinet with their other child. I stepped around the pushchair and went to the till then had to endure a five minute abusive tirade from the mother because I "pushed" in. I didn't relapse an unattended pushchair was a legitimate way to hold a place in a queue. Let's not even go into the negligent parenting... society isn't their to take care of your child when you're to stupid to. The staff stood there doing nothing, then decided I was the one who had to leave the store...but they couldn't tell me what I'd done wrong.

Massively overpriced and the staff members (in particular the skinny man) was incredibly rude to me and my friend. Aggressive, rude and very unpleasant - will NEVER be shopping here again, even if the location is convenient
