It has the feeling of a corner shop which you can just nip into for a few bits with the stock of a larger supermarket where youc an do the weekly shopping. Always find a bargain in the reduced sections and the staff are willing to help you find what you need for a certain recipe or if you've got special dietry requirements. Are good at putting more people on checkouts at busy times and the staff do try to make things run smoothly. Have often been given free samples and special offers without being asked!

Asda is one of my favourite supermarkets as they are great on price and usually have a good…read moreselection of items. This branch, sadly, is one of the smaller ones, and doesn't have much at all. It's really just the basics, food and general grocery items. The staff are helpful and friendly, and the prices are good. It's handy if you happen to be in Billingham and need to stock up on food, but really I'd only use it for top up shopping, not the main weekly shop.

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and they tend to have more tills available than can sometimes be found in the larger supermarkets so queuing is minimal, even during busy periods. Due to the size, seasonal stock (Easter/Christmas gifts etc) are limited but they tend to rearrange the store and squeeze in as much extra stock as possible.

This is a little local Sainburys shop in the middle of a housing estate right over the road from…read moreSomefield. You can't miss it as the Road it's located on (Larkswood) is the most direct road to West Dyke road - a pretty main road within this particular housing area. It's a very small Sainsburys shop and only tends to sell the basics - it's more of a corner shop than a full blown supermarket. There's a selection of ready made sandwiches in the fridge at the front and they do sell papers and the lottery. There's also a place to put electricity on the meter if you need some (a thing I discovered quite recently). There can be some good offers - last christmas they were selling bucks fizz off for £2 a bottle. The staff are all really polite and while it might not always be too cheap as it's not a big store so they don't have too many discounts, it's the perfect little corner store. There's also a mini bank outside if anyone needs cash. Parking is free though limited but the car park never gets full.

There is a small cafe at this store for quick snacks This is one of Hartlepools main supermarkets. Overall service i have had has been great.

Asda at Whinfield is sometimes a nuisance because the staff are obstructing the isles with the…read moretrolley's. I thought this was done by the night staff to stock & refill the shelves & not when customers are shopping. Most of the staff are friendly & helpful & their are a few that are unapproachable & dont want to help customers. there is 1 security guard inpaticular who is power crazy & takes his job to serious. he is a bully & has stated that he will bar me from the shop if he sees my son in the shop with me because he is barred. but he has barred him for life! I'm in Asda every day what gives him the right to say that he will bar me from the shop too. he is slating my character. by the way it's the tall one with ginger hair who I'm talking about. All the other security guards are sound & they're not power crazy like he is.

The shop itself is quite large and they pack a lot of stuff into it. The dispays are nice and everything looks well ordered and clean. The staff are always nice, but there just isn't enough of them! The queues can be long and the bags cost about 3p each, so I always take my own

You can also pick up your orders from Tesco direct here so you don't have to pay postage and have the convience of setting your own time - they notify you when the item has been delivered to the store and you print off the receipt and take it in at a time that suits you.

Up the moving walkway and you find a massive clothing department, which stocks ranges for men, women and children as well as lingerie and footwear. There's also homewares and DIY goods and a HUGE electrical departments which goods include LCD TVs and kitchen appliances as well as accessories.

There is always a good variety of all products - a good choice of brands with a range of prices to suit every budget. They also have a very good clothing section that often has a sale on. The atmosphere in Tesco is always bustling, even at 3 in the morning near Christmas and New Year. Although most of the staff are very friendly and will drop everything to help you look for a product but some of the staff that work on the electrical counter are a little to be desired. They are very unwilling to negotiate a refund/exchange even when you bring the product back within a week brand new!
