There is now a section for…read moreclothing, as well as a cafe, DVD's and CD's and computer games, as well as the normal food and drink. The staff are all incredibly friendly, and the shelves are well stocked with goods. There are the normal offers as you would expect from a Sainsbury's, and unlike some supermarkets they ensure that the shelves doe contain the items on offer. Outside the store there is a large carpark, which you do have to pay to use however you get this back off your shopping providing you spend over a certain amount (I think it's £5.00), so basically you are guaranteed it back. A great supermarket where you can normally get everything you need for your grocery shopping, as well as a bit of a treat from the clothing range.

I think that its meant to be more of a convenience branch than a supermarket though as it stocks the basics that you need, without going to a huge supermarket. The prices are usual for sainsbury's not too cheap, but most of the stuff is fairly good quality. Recently, they have started stocking the sainsbury's basic range, which in my opinion is a good idea because its a very student based area, and not everyone can afford the prices, so this will attract more people. They have a small selection of magazines, toiletries, and cigarettes as well as the usual food and drink items. Staff are always friendly, but sometimes the other customers aren't. During busy times of day, its best avoided as the queues can get pretty big, though you usually still get served fairly quickly as all the staff jump on tills to get it cleared.
