I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who stopped to offer help, in the end a lovely young man from Latvia came and helped me. He pulled out this huge screw/ bolt from the tyre then repaired it with something magic that looked like a rubber plug. I don't know his name, he said he lived in new Milton and he had a blue car. He really was a saviour to me. I was so amazed that so many kind people came to my aid and offered help. with all the bad things happening in this world today, all the people who stopped were just kind and wonderfu, I'm glad I live in this great country.

Awesome store. A must visit of you need supplies while in the New Forest. What is even better is…read morethat this is a 24 hour a day store so you can get nappies or anything else you may need. Car park is also quite big, so no problem with stopping here. Another good thing is the fact that the petrol is cheaper here than at any of the other petrol stations in the local area. Top marks!

Lots of parking spaces although quite hard to navigate in the car park. It also has a few cash points, a car wash and a petrol station. This Sainsbury's also has a cafe area, a hot food counter, electrical and clothes areas. It is a very large store and takes quite a while to look around, although it is laid out really well. There is a dedicated desk in the clothes and electrical area that can help you with any stock that isn't out on display. It has a large fruit and veg section as well as a bakery but the frozen food isle are not that big. Good place to do your weekly shop as you have a marks and Spencer next door and the petrol is always at a reasonable price compared to other stations. Staff are also helpful and friendly.

Inside there is a large clothing range as well as an average homewares and electricals range. The store is laid out well with the suopermarket area gelling with the non food items. There are many offers dotted around the store at random places which is quite odd. I find the staff all present themselves well and are polite and efficient in their job. I will continue to choose this supermarket for my weekly shopping.

Yes, the range is smaller and the shop isn't bright and laid out in the same way as you would expect in major store but this all means that the cost of the products themselves can be kept lower. Lidl always reminds me of supermarkets I have visited in Germany and it's nice to find products being sold that I wouldn't find in one of the majors. The 'nougat pillow' breakfast cereal is amazing (although it's obviously not the healthiest option for breakfast). The main downside to Lidl is the checkout waiting time. They never seem to have many staff on in this store, so there's often quite a wait, which is frustrating if you're only buying a couple of bits. All in all I would recommend it to anyone that's trying to save money and is happy to try something different to what they're used to.

I have recently discovered this brilliant budget shopping store in Winton. I had always thought…read morethat the quality of food would be poor because the prices are so low but how wrong I was. I have now started to do my weekly shop here and can get almost everything I need. They even do common brands as well as there own. The fruit and veg is fresh and excellent quality and so it the meat and ham. I have tried out many new things and have been very pleased with everything I have bought. You must remember your own bags though because you have to pay for theirs and the checkouts are pretty small and there is no space to pack your shopping. The best thing is that you are in and out in such a small time and have everything you need. Highly recommend.

Today i had yet another reason to root for lidl, esp this branch. I shopped at the branch , and inadvertently left behind a paid for food item, {price 3 pounds} behind on the self-service counter. Several hours later, i popped in to ask if it had been handed in. With a minimum of fuss, the store gave me a complimentary replacement. At a high end supermarket, i would have expected this, but at a budget-supermarket it was a pleasant surprise! Well, it prompted me to do this review.

Personally, I'm a much bigger fan of the latter option, and here's why: 1. Because it's so high trafficked, this store is pretty dirty 2. The shelves always seem like they need to be stocked 3. It's a bizarre layout because it's such a small space 4. The queue here - as others have mentioned - is frustrating and confusing; who's actually in line?! It's hard to tell when it snakes down into the aisles Really, you'll find similar things at both places, so it's really just a matter of preference!

It's not exactly the first place you'd look for a Primark, a Lidl or a Wilkinsons (sadly, as I absolutely love a good Primark). But what should the less wealthy of us need a supermarket which isn't as elusive as Marks and Spencer and not as pricey as Waitrose? Sainsbury's local on Marmouth Street is a tiny supermarket which is an ideal one-stop shop for your basic essentials. The range of items on sale here is pretty limited, but when you're looking for reasonably priced goods like tea, coffee, bread and milk - this is the first place I head. And, because it's a Sainsbury's LOCAL the service is quick so there's no frustrating queues in sight.
