What has happened to this store recently? We've always loved coming to this Tesco but of late it's…read moredropped it's standards. We visited yesterday and we couldn't get to the cafe with our pushchair because the lifts were both playing up and when we asked cafe staff they said they'd had a fire drill in the morning which had interrupted the lift service but noone had reset them. Why was this overlooked? Multiple staff were seen passing the lifts which were noisly telling customers they weren't working. I felt sorry for the wheelchair users. And then mid-Saturday on a busy afternoon there were many crates blocking aisles causing chaos and queues. I politely waited with our pushchair for 2 staff members to get by with their crates and they gave no thank you at all. The staff are becoming so rude (excluding cafe staff, they are lovely and caring). A couple of years ago you would always see a slim build younger male manager on the shop floor overseeing everything regularly checking on staff and he had a good presence in the store. We go a lot and I have no clue who the manager's are now, their presence is not felt on the shop floor. And whoever is managing F&F has made a silly decision to squash baby boys clothing at the back, multiple items to a rail like TKmax. I used to like being tempted walking up the aisle by nicely set out items on the aisle for my son and nephew but not now. I order most things from Next now. It's a jumble sale in there. Bad decision for profit when babies are big selling points for sales. Let's hope this store gets it back together soon.

This supermarket is extremely convenient to Alfreton folk and the surrounding villagers because…read morethere isn't another supermarket for about 5 miles! This tesco is average supermarket size and has all the features of an average supermarket yet even includes a pharmacy. There is a cafe upstairs which serves quite expensive, ok food. This looks over the whole shop. The staff in Alfreton Tesco are generally friendly and help quite well. The prices are standard tesco, cheap and great! On tues, weds, thurs, fri, sat this store is open 24hrs! Although it is very convenient, this store seems to be doing better than smaller shops and businesses in the area and so they have started closing down. It can be very busy most of the time and can be very hard to navigate around.

I love Brian's shop. he has everything you need , from bread to beers . And if he hasn't got what…read moreyou want if you ask him nicely he will get it for you . Always friendly and polite. A proper old School little shop.

Just like i was saying in my Poundstretcher review, this store is quite out of the way of Alfreton…read moreand is between Somercotes and Alfreton. The staff are not overly friendly but seem to do their job quite well. There always seem to be a higher proportion of people restocking than those on the check out which doesn't seem right at times because big queues can build up. The staff replenishing stock can also get in the way. The store is definitely great value just like any iceland store but a downfall to the store is that it can be difficult to navigate around with a trolley if someone with a trolley is on the same aisle because they are quite narrow.
