The staff are always friendly and although it can get quite busy at peak times (such as the evening) they always have a smile. All in all an excellent supermarket in an ideal location.

I was so surprised to receive a notice of exceeding parking time and that I needed to pay a fine £40 or £70 if I delayed beyond 14days, the letter was dated 9th May, I received it today 16th May.   I have paid the £40 but I am deeply upset by this charge when all I was doing was shopping in your store. I think bona-fide shoppers should be exempt being charged penalty charges, otherwise all you are doing is curtailing  some one's shopping activities and considering the store has clothing and household goods as well as groceries shopping can take some time. This experience has put me off Tesco stores, you come across as so friendly but this impersonal approach using Horizon is very much at odds with the general friendly Tesco persona. Surely with Clubcard data it is possible to know whether someone is a genuine shopper and should be allowed free shopping time after all, more time spent in store could be more sales.

Before you enter there is a Timpsons and a Giraffe. Internally, the atmosphere is bright, clean, shiny and noisy from all the shoppers bustling around. There has been efforts to make the architecture look aesthetically pleasing from the outside but internally, aside from some high windows at the entrance, you feel like you are in a giant warehouse. As you enter, you are immediately marketed the deals of the day, to the left is a customer service desk with ladies who are away chatting to each other. Beyond the desk is another entrance to the restaurant, Giraffe. Deeper into the store is the food-to-go section which is actually pretty impressive with the salad bar, help-yourself-curry and hot sandwiches, a Costa coffe dispenser and a few self-scans (I've never seen this set up in any other store).To the right of the entrance is a serious-looking but friendly security gaurd, a postbox and a cool machine that prints off your vouchers. The general layout of the store is pretty much the same as other Tesco stores but each section is like it's own store! The clothing section has a massive range and once you turn 90 degrees to the right, you are waking down the middle of the store with food on the right (in order of fesh, refrigerated, frozen, cupboard, then drinks) and general merchandise followed by homeware, heath and beauty and home cleaning on the left as you progress deeper into the store. Beyond these ailses there's an opticians, a pharmacy and other services that I can't remember.... Beyond the food aisles on the right, you are met with lots of checkouts, self-checkouts and self-scan guns closer to the exit. Once you have finished your shopping, within the store, you can grab a bite at Subway, a card from Card Factory, get your haircut or relax with a cup of tea at the cafe. Overall, the checkout and customer service staff are not all that friendly or helpful but they do get the job done and aside from the sheer size (hence more stock and variety especially in terms of World Food sections), this Tesco is just the same as all the others. I am however told that during Christmas trading hours, the staff go around on roller blades to get around faster. Now, that's something to go see.

I was used to markets being places with cheap tat and someone with a thick Black Country accent yelling from a van about sausages, and it's just definitely not like that here.

It's good for a look around even if you don't feel like buying anyth8ng, odds are you probably will end up doing so.

This supermarket is great for the newbie as the staff are actually quite friendly (unlike most typical Chinese supermarkets) and will get an English speaking colleague for you if you are not well versed in Cantonese. HiYou stock a wide range of fresh, frozen and dry goods imported from China, Singapore, Japan, Korean etc... You will definitely find things here you can't find in your regular supermarket so great for the natives and adventurous newbie types or you cool hipster kids finally realising how great Asian snacks are. As you enter, to the right, you are met with a choice: a basket or a trolley? Go for the trolley so you don;t have to carry the basket as the trolley is made from you placing a basket in it anyway. The fresh selection is small but you can find some Asian vegetables and fruits that are cheaper (sometimes), larger and in better stock than your regular supermarket. Beyond that is the bakery counters where you can see the baking assistants, busily making more baked goodies. The bakery goods are, passable. Not the greatest tasting but definitely fresh. They can take Chinese cake orders too. The fridge section is quite limited too (I guess shipping all the way from South East Asia, you don't have much choice...) but you can find yourself some fresh kimchi (YAS), fresh fish balls (the best kind), a range of fresh tofu (hard to find in regular supermarkets), fresh noodles (also, the best type) and things such as lap chung (Chinese sausage). The freezer bit is a bit bigger with lots of frozen goodies such as dumpling (BEST THINGS EVER), frozen sweet rolls and desserts, ready to cook goodies such as fish balls, spring rolls etc..., hot pot ingredients, frozen vegetables such as edamame, frozen spring roll pastry, frozen seafood and meat. At the back of the store is a typical mish-mash that you can find at any Chinese market stall from cheap pens, Chinese style crockery and other household items. The whole middle of the store is dedicated to aisles of noodles, sauces and snacks. For the more sophisticated palettes, fear not, you will find all your sushi making needs here (minus the sashimi). On the far left is all the rice and big, full box of packets of noodles (for those of you who want to buy noodles in the bulk). A note for those of who are hooked on Pot Noodles. Please, first of all, what is wrong with you. Second of all, get yourself down and check out the Asian range of noodles: real noodles. Trust me, you will never go back. I highly recommend Korean Shin ramyum aka the best instant noodles ever for the all occasion, spice loving, hungry poor person friendly noodle. Finally, back around to the front of the store are the small tills where you place the basket on them. The cashier will scan and pack for you so all you need to do is put the trolley away and wait to pay whilst not being tempted with all the candy imported from America and Japan (Herseys and Hi-Chews anyone?).
