Tesco Superstore

The issue with the Tescos is that unless you come at the start of the day after they have completed a fruitful stocking night the shelves will be half empty, it will be mind-​bogglingly busy and there may be stuff everywhere. However as this place is so huge you’ll probably still find what you are looking for.
Since I’ve lived in Oxford I’ve come here about a dozen or so times. We tend to try and stick to mid evening as the crowds die down a bit and they are not quite into their horrible restocking mode.
Generally you can find fresh products and a wide selection of near everything (do not come to this Tescos if you are looking for home goods/​electronics/​etc). The prices as it is Tescos are decent.
The staff are generally friendly as long as you’re not getting the end of shift crowd.
PROS:
Large selection
Good quantity of stock
Price
CONS:
Gets ultra busy
Leftover stock can be of bad quality
Other side of the ring road.

#458 Oh my goodness, «superstore» is totally the correct term for this place. It’s absolutely huge and there’s just so much food everywhere. They have dozens of options for each item — especially in terms of their dairy — and we spent a good 2 hours in here trying to cross everything off of our list. Unfortunately, it was 10PM on a Saturday night and it was also the time that employees were restocking their aisles. So, we ran into one too many carts, empty cardboard boxes, and disgruntled employees. My tip would be to avoid Saturday nights. =) Regardless, we got everything we were looking for, including tahini, frozen pizzas, fresh mackerel, king prawns, and lasagna sheets. Not a bad place to shop, but next time I’m opting for delivery. Hauling 100gbp worth of food into the car and into the house was just too much of a hassle.

A huge store, though nearly all food and housewares, there’s very little clothing apart from underwear and a little bit for kids. It’s a typical Tesco, with a wide range and good prices, fresh fish, meat and cheese, a good range of fruit and veg. I tend to go early evenings, which has the advantage of a lot of reduced to clear items, and the disadvantage that some items I need have run out. There can be queues for petrol in the evenings, too, with only a few pumps in operation. But mainly, I walk there, and one of my main gripes with the store is that pedestrian access is very poor, specially if you’re trying to negotiate traffic around the car park and lugging a shopping trolley. My other gripe is that the recycling centre at the entrance to the car parks is full of rubbish, not just plastics and bottles which don’t fit into the bins, but sacks of refuse, old nappies, broken household stuff. Not Tesco’s fault, but not nice to walk past on your way to the store.

This is a massive Tescos, and the perfect shop to do your weekly/​monthly grocery shop.
The carpark is huge and so you are almost guaranteed easy parking. The store itself offers really good value, with permanently low prices as well as special offers making your pennies stretch even further.
They sell some beautiful bouquets flowers and plants, which are great quality and very good value. They also have a wide selectiono f magazines and newspapers.
This branch has the added benefit of a Krispy Kreme doughnut stall, enabling you to treat yourself to a gorgeous doughnut while you’re doing the weekly shop!
The store is well stocked as huge huge departments of fruit, vegetable, diary products, meat counter, delli counter, fish counter, and a huge frozen section. There is also a massive section on beverages (alcoholic and non-​alcoholic) and an instore bakery.
This shop is great value– especially if you have a Tesco Clubcard– and definitely worth trying out for your weekly shop.

ample parking, great selection and always plenty of bargains. coffee shop and petrol station also in situ. the staff are very friendy, and the store is open 24hrs a day so very convenient if you run out of nappies or baby milk in the middle of the night and can’t wait til the morning.
