The fruit and…read moreveg 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.

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 cafe 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.

Having a large supermarket within a shopping centre really is unique and intu Derby is probably the…read morelargest shopping centre I've visited to incorporate a supermarket of this type, it does stand out with bright lights and a sign outside the mall, but I was still disappointed with Sainsbury's here. While it is big for a city centre/ mall location, it is dwarfed by their other stores. I do feel the store could be due to some renovation as it did feel a little old and even dirty at times especially with the old flooring, and they did also appear to be understaffed so it was hard to find a staff member when required to ask where certain items were, such as the free from section which was a shame. The Free From section was interesting, they did have some cool and unique items such as Brewdog Beer, but they lacked with pretty standard items such as a selection of bread. Obviously it is in a good location within intu Derby and the shopping centre, but surely it is due to a total renovation including improving the selection in multiple areas, although it can be useful within its location, acting like a large Sainsbury's Metro store it isn't a complete terrible lost cause. 2*

As you enter the pleasant smell of fresh bread from the in-store bakery makes the whole store seem inviting. Fresh flowers, cards and newspapers are the first to catch your eye, leading you to the well-stocked aisles packed with produce from fresh and vegetables, to a variety of fresh meats and fish. Their famous meal deals are also prevalent, as are the dairy and fresh food. Most of them M&S branded goods, but some well known high street brands are also starting to invade the shelves, which adds choice. The variety of pasta, bread, tinned goods, frozen food, confectionery, fresh bread/rolls etc. are equally impressive. Staff are friendly and helpful, and there is never too much of a queue. The price would prevent you doing an entire family shop here, but its a great place to come for a treat, where you know the quality of the food is high.

The majority of the shop supplies foreign food (mainly German) at a discount, with chocolates (and various other snacks), dairy products, fruits, meats, alcohol and various gifts, stationary and misc.

However, I only go in there for odd things so its not too much of an issue. Food is much cheaper than most places, however, like most shops, you really have to watch out for products that aren't 'loss leaders'. I've never really had a chance to test customer service in the shop as I've always been able to find items easy. However, with long queues at the kiosk I'm guessing it is quite poor. However, you don't really expect it in a place like Farmfoods.
