Really nice to get that sense of community shop from a big chain store. Original review: Great size for a local Waitrose, big enough to be the catch-all, but not a megastore by any stretch of the imagination. It's hard to review a Waitrose it seems. If you really need a lot of info maybe try wikipedia. (btw, their bread counters are always brilliant).

Normally walk to the Southsea store, but today drove. Came…read moreback to find no space and door just opened enough to get shopping through, then I heard a teenager in the car say 'don't damage my mother's car'. I gave him his hat back which he had dropped beside my car and told him that there was no damage and tried to explain they had not left me enough room to get in. He then said 'don't argue with me' and launched into an unprovoked tirade of abuse. His mother returned and he kindly told me to F*** off then got out of his car and took a picture of me although I told him this would be harassment - which it was. It is so nice to have a chance to mix with the upper classes at Waitrose, you just don't get this at other supermarkets.

I find it hard to shop in here as although the aisles are wide, it has a somewhat claustrophobic feel to the store. That said, the staff are friendly and welcoming on the tills, products are easy to find and normally in good supply. For everyday shopping, it is a little pricey if you are feeding more than 2, but they do some lovely gastro pub meals if you're after a treat! My favourite part of this store is definetly the bakery part, infact any of the sweet treats are worth a taste! Big thumbs up to the sticky toffee pudding, even though i'm sure it should serve 4 it only ever does 2!

Refrigerators contained bottled beverages and packaged foods. Display cases contained baked goods such as bakes, wraps, rolls, buns, muffins, and cookies. An employee promptly took our order and payment. Here are my ratings for what we bought: Jammy Heart Biscuit - 5 stars - delicious shortbread cookie with raspberry jam in the center Steak Bake - 4.5 stars - cold but delicious puff pastry and beef filling Sausage Roll - 4 stars - warm puff with sausage inside, decent flavors

Reminded me of a good cup of coffee from one of those gas stations in America that use the grinder for the beans. It was a long wait and I must say the sausage roll was pretty tasty despite people saying that the UK doesn't use seasonings. The cheese party uhhmmm I can pass! It was little cold to be a cheese patty. I was happy that I visit this staple.

DISGUSTING! The staff here behave disgracefully and in very bad taste. At the end of the day,…read morecustomers who happen to be looking for marked down goods in this store are virtually stalked by members of STAFF WHO ARE HIDING REDUCED ITEMS FOR THEMSELVES WHO DO NOT WANT CUSTOMERS TO FIND THEIR HIDDEN ITEMS. More than once, I have been in the store as the clock struck 9pm for closure as I waited for the reduced items, I have had the security guard give me filthy looks (rather than politely remind me of the time), and as I have left the store, when there are no other customers present, the staff put the REDUCED ITEMS OUT FOR THEMSELVES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF. I even had a bunch of flowers snatched off me by a member of staff before 9pm which she then took to the check out and bought herself. Shockingly self-serving store, and the managers fully support the staff in the illegal practice of hiding reduced items for their own benefit. Shame on you Waitrose, the behaviour of your opportunistic staff in this store is an embarrassment!

There is a great instore butcher, who is very keen to help you try something new or recommend cheaper cuts and how to cook them! Let's face it, Waitrose is quite an expensive place to shop, but they have started doing dine in for £10 and they have a nice selection of food included! If you like fish, the fish counter is appealing but not as friendly as the butcher! There is an instore bakery, but i'd rather use the bakers across the way! If you need a break after shopping the cafe by the entrance is reasonably priced and worth a look, very child friendly! You get 2hours free parking in the car park, they do have an attendant i noticed so be ware if you want to park and go elsewhere!

Sometimes however it gets overly busy and it is really hard to do your shopping and it can take forever. This is one of the stores that offer internet shopping so if you do not feel like navigating the queues then you can stay at home and shop on the internet.
