This is a large Sainsbury’s with a large carpark. It is next door to a big Homebase so is a good spot to combine grocery and homewares/DIY shopping into one trip. The store itself is bright, airy and well laid out offering the usual Sainbury’s fare food and drink wise. There isn’t much in the way of clothes etc nor homewares but there again, as I mentioned before there’s the Homebase next door. They have a number of special sections including organic, bakery, cheese etc. They carry a very good gluten/wheat free section. There’s nearly always enough tills in action so I’ve rarely had to queue. The customer toilets are well maintained(situated off the corridor that joins the supermarket and Homebase.) A seperate J café is next to the supermarket. Being seperate it doesn’t get the shop noise and they’d blare in music so its a nice quiet spot for a cuppa before you tackle the weekly shop.

This is a fairly good-sized store, which carries most of the usual Sainsbury’s range. The fruit and veg section is particulary good, although I have found that if you go at the wrong time of day, often some of the baskets of veg are empty and don’t seem to be re-stocked. This has happened to me several times, even when I’ve gone in the early afternoon. The fish counter is excellent, and the staff are happy to give advice about how to cook and serve your fish. There is also a very good deli counter, and a fresh bakery. Although this store doesn’t sell any clothes at all, they do have some jewellery stands near to the pharmacy, and a very small entertainment section at the front of the shop where you can sometimes find a bargain cd, dvd, book or game. The staff at the tills are quick and efficient, and I don’t usually have to wait for too long to be served.
