leaving Tesco yesterday I realised I had a puncture so pulled in to the recycling area opposite the…read morepetrol station. the gentleman in there offered to help me as he was an ex RAC patrol man. in the end he couldn't as I did not have the correct equipment. 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!

A really big Sainsbury's with lots of choice. Right next to a large Marks and Spencer in a big…read moreshopping and Industrial area. 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.

As with all Lidl stores they sell food from other countries quite cheaply. They also sell some…read moreproducts from well known brands. From time to time they have some really good offers. I find that I can't get everything I need from this store but I can get a lot from here for a lot less money that at other stores. They charge for carrier bags.

In the current climate, I'm sure more people will be looking for…read morecheaper groceries, etc. I find Lidl's products to be on a par with any of the major supermarkets. 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.

On a philosophical level, I have mixed views about whether a shop like Tescos has a place in a…read morevillage such as Brockenhurst, but being a complete hypocrite, I buy stuff from here most days! On a practical note, I also have mixed views about this place; on the plus side, the long opening hours are a godsend when I've run out of something, the staff are generally friendly and helpful, the product range is excellent and the prices are reasonable. My main criticism of this shop is that they are a bit lax when it comes to sell by dates, and I have learned to check the dates on stuff carefully before putting things in my basket.

Food is lovely and cheap. great choice of food from other countries are also appearing in stores. they also have one weeks deals or longer depending how long stock of the item lasts, ranging from clothes to electrical goods.

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!

They also seem to know where most products are if you cant find anything unlike quite a few supermarkets where they don't actually know where products are. Overall good store.

It was interesting visiting an English grocery store. First of all this particular store was…read moresmaller than the ones in the United States. Also, English grocery stores aren't laid out the same. For example cookies might be in multiple locations rather than one designated "cookie aisle." Also it was interesting because you had to pay for a shopping cart. They did have a limited number of hand baskets. If they ran out of hand baskets, people would use the bags they brought and add there items into the bags. Then remove them when they got to the counter. It was nice because there weren't long lines, and they had a lot more self-serve kiosks than my local American grocery store.

I'm not quite sure how to review this place. "3.5 stars" feels like the rating I want but since…read morethat's not an option, I'll bump it up to 4 stars. The location to surrounding area is amazing. The family and I were vacationing in South Kensington and this store was ideally located. It's a grocery store that has all the essentials... and more. And by "more", I mean seemingly random stuff like an aisle of non-branded shirts... and a convenience station which apparently provides shoe repair? Item selection for things (particularly vegetables and fruits) seems a little sparse. But admittedly I'm a tourist so perhaps that's expected for the area, climate, and time of year. Checkout is slightly disorganized (again, probably a "tourist ignorance" thing). Recyclable bags are available for pickup on a rail while walking through self-checkout. There's an automated gate that requires a receipt barcode to be scanned before exit is permitted. Ultimately I think this is a store that's 90% grocery store and 10% variety store. Nothing wrong with that but it was just a little surprising.
