I have to give this store a mixed review…read more Admittedly the prices are great, they sell a huge range of products from food to clothes, toys and homewares, and the shelves always seem very well stocked. However, I do find that the store is busy at pretty much any time of day, and the store is not really set out to accomodate this. The aisles are very narrow and it's quite easy to find yourself stuck behind someone who's blocking the path. It can make your grocery shopping quite stressful. That said, they are fantastic if you order your groceries from them online - they offer sensible substitutions and the food is always fresh. Their new self-service check outs in-store are great fun!

However, I don't love the way that unless you go first thing in the morning or later at night, you will struggle to a) find a full car parking space! and b)struggle to find a small trolley. They don't seem to be able to cope with lots of customers going through the tills either - at busy times, there are always massive queues, and tills that aren't open. The produce employees tend to block aisles too, while they are restocking, but at least the produce is fresh. Everything is reasonably priced at Asda and they have some fab offers and lovely gifts.

I forgot to say that this store also has an instore cafe and personal hand car wash! They have a car wash machine too - but you can have it hand washed for you while you shop if you so wish. There are always plenty of trolleys of each size and the car park is always pretty tidy.

Wow. On both sides of the Atlantic we all know what to expect at the rest stop or motorway…read moreservices - anywhere from grungy and run down to updated and bright, maybe very basic fast food with minimal service to somewhat higher standard plus a shop or two with some food basics and snacks. BUT would you expect a shop/supermarket with full service butcher, fresh baked bread, fresh fruit and vegetables, countless tempting cakes, fresh flowers and plants, wide variety of beers and ciders, many wines, champagnes, gins and so much more - I think not! But at this service stop by the motorway this is exactly what you get!! A Wholefoods or Gelmans (for you Americans) or actually even better - a farmers market with all the trimmings - Wow!! I would say unique but it isn't - I asked and there are 3 more - a second (I assume) identical one on the Southbound side of the M5 motorway and two more elsewhere in Gloucestershire. Needless to say - two thumbs up! Sadly I just wish there was one closer to home!

Meats, Mr. Datcat raves about the gammon, but I'm a little bit fussy so avoid them.

There is no difference with a French bakery. Both had enough butter, enough chocolate bars for the pain au chocolat and were crunchy on the surface and not like a marshmallow. The kind of croissant that you do not need to put crap inside because it is good enough to eat it plain on its own. I came back in the afternoon to tell a member of the staff how great it was and bought again two pains au chocolat and two croissants. I do not know who is in charged of preparing them, but if somebody sees the person responsible, please congratulate her on my behalf and may be if the opportunity arises, this person should open a bakery in Gloucester.

I've always rated Waitrose very highly and would hate to think I'm being deceived like this. I would like to have the choice and not unwittingly eat something that goes against my own beliefs.

However as this place is so huge you'll probably still find what you are looking for. Since I've lived in Oxford I've come here about a dozen or so times. We tend to try and stick to mid evening as the crowds die down a bit and they are not quite into their horrible restocking mode. Generally you can find fresh products and a wide selection of near everything (do not come to this Tescos if you are looking for home goods/ electronics/ etc). The prices as it is Tescos are decent. The staff are generally friendly as long as you're not getting the end of shift crowd.

It's got a huge range of items, although no adult clothing (other than underwear) or much in the way of electronics/media/toys, unlike even bigger stores. For groceries, though, it's got a lot to offer. Fruit and veg are of good quality and usually well-stocked. The deli and fresh fish counters offer a lot of choice, and they even have a large 'Polish food' section. They have two 'car trolleys' which amuse small (and big) kids greatly, and make the shopping trip easier with children who are too big for the trolley seats but too small to walk all the way around without whining. Staff are friendly and helpful, and offers on food are good value.
