Wonderfully helpful staff in this one and catering to the Sunningdale, Virginia Water and Ascot crowd, a little more sophisticated than some of the other versions of this supermarket in nearby towns like Camberley. You still have to be careful buying fish, as although the choice is quite large, I get suspicious of some fish of the same type being head on and others being head off in the same display. Scratch, poke and sniff is the best advice. The butcher’s counter is quite good, but without the interesting bits like tripe and trotters. The guy on the cheese counter really knows his job and is generous with samples. Well worth the drive.

The supermarket itself is actually ok. Not too big, not too small. Has most essentials. Shopping experience is not so great though. Lots of pepole that think they are the only person in the world, pushing trollys into you rather than showing some sensibility and going round you as you do to them. If you are not getting a trolley driven at you inside someone is driving their 44 at you in the car park. Incredibly badly designed car park and bad use of space. AVOID at all costs on a saturday morning! Staff are very friendly though and couldn’t do more for you, shame it is let down by the customers.

I actually really like this Waitrose and is the only supermarket to be found between Sunningdale, Sunninghill and Ascot without driving to the Sainsburys and Tescos in Bracknell or Staines. It’s a good size — not overwhelmingly large but not so small it doesn’t offer a choice. It’s recently had a refurbishment with new checkouts and updated store design. You’ll find reduced price bargains(meat and bakery) if you pop in just before closing on weekdays. They also have ‘green’ checkouts for customers who don’t require plastic bags — cardboard boxes are usually available from behind the checkouts. There is free parking but this does get chocker with 44s, especially at weekends. Unless you have a disability, I recommend parking at the end of the car park. You’ll reduce the risk of a BMWX5 reversing into you and you’ll have a less stressful shopping experience. Because it’s a smallish shop, you’ll usually see the bright and breezy manager or deputy manager walking the floor — extremely unusual in today’s supermarkets.

Mid sized supermarket. Good range of groceries including Waitrose own branded food and drinks which tends to be of good quality. Good access for buggies and wheelchairs. Fairly accessable wide aisles although it does get crowded as it is a busy store. It has a large free car park. Supermarket is adjacent to the Sunningdale station. Open 7 days a week.
