I m a Waitrose fan but this branch is awful.
Queues for the tills are always long, staff is not as courteous or friendly as in other branches and between 12 and 3pm there is always an overpowering smell of curry in the entire store as they cook up a large pan of it at the deli counter without an extractor fan.
M&S prices with a Tesco service.
I try to avoid this place when I can but they do have some products that I like here.
