For food I love this store. It is smaller than other Tescos or the local asda in thornaby but it…read moretends to be a lot less busy and has most of the food range available in larger stores just not the clothing and electrical, or housewares ranges. The staff are efficent and the shelves kept well stocked - very rarely have they sold out of something I wanted (which was a bug bear when I used to shop at Sainsburys as they always seemed to be running out of stuff). Also like most Tescos now it has a petrol station, free parking and is open 24 hours a day (except Sundays).

Tesco Ingleby Barwick is a medium sized supermarket. The store has a range of food, clothing and…read moreelectrical items, as well as it's own Starbucks coffee shop. The supermarket itself is small, but stocks a reasonable range of goods. Service in-store is adequate. I have been charged double price on two occasions for various products and found it a difficult process to get a refund. The stores petrol station is in a handy location as there are few places to fill up in and around Ingleby Barwick. Petrol is also reasonably priced unlike the local competitors.

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!

I was amazed how big this store is, they must make a fortune!…read more The staff I have been served by dont usually speak to you at all unless they have or talk amongst themselves, so thats disappointing. Loads of extras in this store unlike small Tesco stores. The food variety is not as big as it should be though, electricals are quite expensive and can be got cheaper elsewhere.

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!

It stocks a range of alcohol, confectionary and general groceries and is open well into evening.
