This is the biggest branch on the island and very central - very popular with bikers in TT week too. I also like the fact that they stock one of the biggest range of local Okells beers on the island and have a lot more bottled selection than the pubs which is great. Not a bad place to shop at all!

One thing to take into account though is that if the boat doesn't sail you end up with very empty shelves and sometimes it's not worth going! Very popular in TT with it being just around the corner from the bus station

I'd read that this store was burnt out in this town a few months ago, so the folks in charge of the company right now have opened another store beside the charcoal shell. The supermarket chain, which is worth around seven billion pounds, is being bought and sold by big players in the market with TDR Capital LLP buying the shares owned by billionaire Moshin Issa last month. Moshin left his wife for an employee of EY Manchester. This fractured the relationship with his brother Issa. While it's bright and spacious I assume it's a temporary fix as it's like a giant hard canvas and steel structure, and fair play to them for providing a service to their customers. I called in to buy carrots as the preferred snack for a fussy Bichon Frieze and a dizzy mini dachshund. The carrots were 65 pence a kilo, the same price of M&S. I also got a few packs of seedless red grapes (99 pence for 375gm) from Egypt and 2 cartons of four Spanish nectarines again 99 pence a carton. The in-store staff are real mega friendly and undoubtedly mostly minimum wage to support the lifestyles of billionaires.

The shop itself is well staffed and the staff are always polite helpful and will go out of their way to assist. The store is often busy due to its reasonable prices and location therefore i would recommend you shop in the evening or during the week to avoid the weekend rush. The store is well laid out, always stocked and prices are always clearly marked. This asda is definitely the grocery hub of Downpatrick. There is more than ample car-parking in the area although at the weekend spaces can be limited.

I'm a fan of their vegetarian foods and Sainsbury's own brand items (love Sainsbury's Nut Cutlets and veggie mince). They have the best labelling of all the supermarkets with all their own brand products clearly labelled as to whether or not they are vegetarian or BUAV approved (not tested on animals). In addition their brand match scheme ensures you don't pay more with Sainsbury's than with another supermarket. As per Sainsbury's website "When you buy ten or more different products, we'll tot up the comparable brands in your basket. If you could have paid less at Asda - even because of the deal - we'll give you a coupon for the difference off your next shop." I always use my brand match vouchers at my next Sainsbury's grocery shop. Plus their wine selection is superior to all other supermarket selections. Quality store with unbeatable prices, pleasant to browse and lovely, helpful staff. Perfect. At Christmas and New Year Sainsbury's have a special range of fabulous food you can order and collect in store, I would especially recommend the: *Three nut roast with cranberry sauce *Butternut & mushroom en croute *Limoncello buche de Noel If you want indulgent, treat foods try Sainsbury's 'Taste The Difference' range. This blows every other supermarkets 'luxury' items clean out of the water. Definitely the best you'll get, bar none.

The supermarket has all the stuff you would expect and more, and is a good place to get all your weekly shop done. They have a very large fruit and veg section, complete with salad bar if you are that way inclined, with a very large delicatessen meat and cheese counter. The store also has a large range of magazines, books, CDs, DVDs and games, and is always worth a check for a better price if you are about to buy a recently released item from HMV. As for the rest of the store there is a large range of everything as you would expect. The store has its own cafe which is good for pacifying those who have been dragged along or those who have worked up a hunger in their arduous shopping trip! The store also has installed self scanning machines, which is a real boost to customers as they can get in and for a few items much faster than in the past!
