I buy a split tin and a Sandwich loaf costing £1.30 each, every week from the Bakery of the Ruislip…read morebranch. It used to come hygienically wrapped, but now it is left unwrapped for all to handle, including those who have just emerged from the toilet, and those who just sneezed into their hands etc.. It is a well-known fact that the general hygiene in this country is iffy. So when customers in making their selection, do not settle for the first loaf but handle quite a few before choosing the one they want, will definitely spread contamination to the rest of us. I have taken this matter up with the floor manager today and on two other occasions but I am being fobbed off with pat answers that this is the company's policy. I ask you: Will she feed her own family with something which she knows could be contaminated? Other supermarkets provide tongs and paper bags, why cannot a responsible firm like Waitrose who say they are all in favour for a healthy living for their customers do likewise?

Although small, this store has enough for you to grab basic provisions you might have run out of and has a cash till as well. This Tesco also has a few dedicated parking bays - parking in Hatch End, no matter what time of day or night - is a luck of the draw, as there are numerous restaurants on the main road so the roads are always packed with parked cars. If desperate, however, there is a free car park behind the shops, that you can get to by driving down Grimsdyke Road and turning left just past the Quickfit.

Tesco's Finest Lasagna I was absoluely knackered after a hard day last week and just wanted to get home and crash in front of telly but had no food in so stopped by Tesco and picked a Lasagna (must be their finest line) for £3 (serves two)........being Italian I am deeply ashamed to admit I 'bought' a pasta dish....but I really couldn't be bothered to cook....I was expecting the worse but figured what the hell... How wrong could I be....it was really nice....a decent bolognese sauce and lots of it, nicely cooked pasta that retained it's bite...a creamy bechamel with undertones of bay and nutmeg and a good sprinkling of parmesean...I cooked it for a longer than suggested until the top was nicely browned and pulsating with the molten sauces and ate every single bite ....if you're stuck for a quick dinner for a guest...buy a couple of these...make a salad...get some garlic bread...and enjoy....really nice.

They do not carry whole millet (sadly!) though they do carry millet flour, and I thought their rice selection was unusually small for a store of this size.

Heartily recommended!

It is next to a number of other stores including a butcher shop and the Pinner Arms pub. It is a nice little store run Mr. J and family who are the friendliest store owners I have met. It has everything and more you might expect from a local convenience store. *Newspapers and magazines *Booze, good selection of wines and beer *Milk and other diary products, eggs *Limited selection of fresh and canned vegetables *Snacks and breads *Frozen/ ready to eat foods and ice creams *Minor DIY kits including bulbs etc *Soaps/household items like kitchen roll etc *Limited selection of flowers *It also sells lottery tickets and do mobile phone and oyster top-ups *There is a free cash machine! *It is also a Click and Collect point! Amazing array of services and selection makes it my favourite local shop. As it is few metres from my house so sometimes during early mornings when we run out of milk or bread or eggs I am there when Mr J starts to lift up the shops shutter! 4 stars only because Credit cards are not accepted but there is a cash machine in the store that you could use anyways !

The chilled and frozen food is in a semi-circle around the crowded aisles, which are never properly stocked. There's not much variety. Staff varies - today I had a nice manager getting my click and collect parcel - but he kept coughing and not covering his mouth. Then the guy who checked us out tried to sell us a bag - which we need, fine. But when we asked for a normal one, he insisted on giving us a bag for life, which cost more and was larger than we needed. Oh well, whatever. I mean, it sells stuff at a reasonable price. But not a place to do a weekly shop, if you're at all sane.

When you think of Asda, you pretty much think of an enormous store - you kind of have to as it's…read morequickly become Walmart in all but name due to its American owners. This has that same idea, except imagine taking that gigantic store and squishing it down to a much, much smaller space. In otherwords, this is a tight squeeze at the best of times - for example, if a member of staff is putting something out, then that's the aisle blocked. If two trolleys want to pass each other, they have to do so delicately. Plus, nothing is in the order you'd expect - and this has to be the only place masquerading as a full sized supermarket where you'd find the beers, wines and spirits section down the same aisle as the frozen food. But you know, you can pick up a bottle of rose and a bag of frozen samosas at the same time, so that's progress right. The other problem I have generally with Asda is that their shelving makes it look like you're in a warehouse the entire time. It's fine for places like Costco because you are actually in a warehouse, but when you're in a place which is meant to be on the same level and idea as a Sainsburys or a Tescos, it just makes the entire store look cheap - and not cheap as in "ooh, I've saved two quid" but as in "the place just looks unappealing and terrible".
